Liverpool have the league cup. So if they win it, and the other lot are spurs or chelsea I don't think it matters. Now if Everton win it...

Ah. Is that how it works?

OK so 6th for the Toon and anybody but Everton for the Cup?

God I suddenly feel a great hatred for Moyes in development.

I think so, but could be wrong. Makes sense that way though.

The Graunida report...

"Pardew attributed Cissé's excellent performance to diet. The striker's two goals here took his Premier League total to seven since his debut in February – two more than Carroll has managed in the league in 14 months at Liverpool. "We had Africa day at the training ground on Friday," Pardew said. "We made him feel at home by having curried goat for lunch. It was lovely.""

AKA Curried Carroll.

<poor bastard>

Yes huge on winning the title but then was it a dissapointment when they found out they would be watching the Leafs :rofl:

Yeah, as prizes go that's a bit "third prize in the church raffle":) Seems odd to move it to Belleville, but I guess its a question of getting as many people out as possible under the circumstances.

The atmosphere in the village over the weekend was absolutely amazing. Barry would have been absolutely thrilled to bits.

Either

He dived in front of an open goal.


OR

he tripped over the ball in front of an open goal.


Neither is good is it?

I'm surprised the great tree trunk was so athletic ( and moving ).

Never a penalty.
I tend to think that the FA have secretly employed a sniper to visit EPL grounds over the last few seasons and have instructed the sniper to target certain players of all clubs.

Well, no, it never was a penalty. He was booked for diving. The manager suggested that maybe he had already lost his balance. Yeah, right, pull the other one.

Well it was Kenny the King (Messiah, Saviour) who said that :lol:
Some of his post match comments have been somewhat strange over the last few matches. I guess he is starting to feel the pressure of being in charge of a once mighty club. I feel your pain as I went through this in the 70s and 80s with Utd.
Ah well time to sit back this afternoon with a few rums and see if we go 5 points clear.
Also it must really hurt having Everton above you :lol:
If its any consolation you are still 3 points clear of Fulham, Swansea and Norwich;)

A hatrick from Rooney and some assists from Ashley Young would do my Fantasy Footy score a power of good....
