Time for a SMITHS playlist, I think. Disk One - Celebration This Charming Man (MP, naturellement) These Things Take Time (Off to a slow start - what with our leaky defence and poor away form) Barbarism Begins at Home (Team after team is put to the sword at the Etihad) Hand In Glove (Some top man-man...

Nice to see the Scousers get a chance to hold another of their favourite events.

Can everyone rise and have a minute's silence for Brendan Rogers' job.

Still, it'll give them more chance of finishing fourth.

If any of you start landing on planets in which I am interested, you will be shot - remember that.

Incidentally, I didn't think it possible for me to have any less respect for the Azteca fans than I already did... Then they threw beer at Ian Darke. That man in a national treasure on 2 continents! For shame! Which 2 ? I'm pretty certain Europe isn't one of them. I'm also pretty sure he was on ESP...

So blame your Dad Macca there is the proof. :mrgreen: Two points; i. The season right before Rafa started pursing Barry was the worst of Alonso's career. There were a lot of Liverpool fans wondering if he was going to move on anyway because he had been utter crap. He played great in 2009 but Rafa h...

Apparently Captain Attention-Seeker (aka Eden Hazard) has decided, after much public deliberation, to join....Chelsea. One word about his not joining City. ARSED . City were interested up to the point where he announced that he would be playing in an advanced midfield role, in the centre. I'm just h...

England's performance last night was stunningly average. Hodgson won't last 2 years if he believes that players like Andy Carroll, Stuart Downing and Jordan Henderson even deserve to be in the same post code as an England squad . There again, the commentator (Tyldesley) wasn't helping - he seemed t...

Without wishing to sound ungracious - from top to bottom, Scottish football is sh1te. If you put that team into the Premiership, I doubt very much that they would reach 20 points by the end of the season. England's performance last night was stunningly average. Hodgson won't last 2 years if he belie...

I threatened to turn up at Bill's house bearing cucumber sandwiches if he didn't print it

In other news, fsquid's favourite pigs blew their chance of going into the Championship by losing on penalties to Huddersfield. Bet he's dancing round now.

And here's another massive f**k off. Dear Bayern fans, You had a jolly German chuckle at Eastlands, while we were beating you 2-0, because Napoli's result against Villareal put us out of the group stage. That's HUBRIS . Are you laughing now ? Well, are you ? You blew the CL final, at home, with 2 mi...

Without wishing to rub it in for fsquid... F**k you, Robben :) That's two trophies you've cost Bayern this year. F**k you, Boateng - why not give Kompany a ring to ask him what a medal looks like... F**k you, Hoeness, you fat greasy swine. See if you can get your snout further up Platini's arse, may...

Not quite sure why City felt the need to apologise to the Scots P*sscan for that sign. After all, he was asked a year or two ago whether City would win the League, and his response was 'Not in my lifetime', so I can only assume he's passed away, and that purple faced visage shambling around spewing ...

Hic - what day is it ? Who am I again ? Just for those of you who haven't seen it - Sky Sports http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMs836VMTHQ&feature=related Sunderland fans loving it as well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iXUMUhMyh0&feature=related And just to prove how despised Man U really are, a ma...

Never mind that nonsense Macca WHY AM I WATCHING A COLOR CLASH ON MY TV RIGHT NOW. Granted its the most exciting part of the game for me, trying to figure out who is who. Would it have hurt to throw on some black shorts city? I used to have to watch in Black and white so its awakening memories of F...

Totally accidental. Balotelli never looked down at Parker and thus had no idea where his head was as he spun round and attempted to regain his footing. Nearly laughing myself hoarse watching Fingers Redknapp moaning away. Save your invective for the judge, you thieving tw*t. I enjoyed that more than...

In the words of one of the best football pundits, Gabriele Marcotti..

"The way his teams play, it's like he hates Football."

And having sat through parts of tonight's Stoke v Villa game, I can quite agree.

Liverpool and their fans rally to Suarez's defence...well their fans will as soon as they have finished robbing Crouch's house again.

oi, Mr Ku Klux Suarez...I think this 8 match ban is yours.

Can't wait to see what the moaning Scot will make of it.

Fingers crossed, Rally.

You do know you can get Lydia resurrected, right ? And I don't mean the Raise Zombie spell either (which is a riot in itself). Dragon #3 went down last night. Joined the Companions and got sent to take out an escaped fugitive...only when I get to the godforsaken town he's near, a dragon is barbecuin...

Oi dragon - get that stitched. Ah, what did I do before I met Lydia...dragon anti-aircraft gun and all around factotum. We were just out for a pleasant evening stroll/nature walk near Eldergreen Sanctuary to pick up some sap (plant sap, not a daft bloke or whatever other disgusting thing you were th...

Quite right too - you can't be constantly running the 'Kick It Out' campaign and be talking about racism and then not investigate this thoroughly. And John Terry is a completely odious individual.

I suppose the theory would go that players who appear to be of the same purchase value would be on roughly the same sort of deal. Of course, we know that is unlikely to be the case, but I could see why people would adopt it as a rule of thumb. Anyone who is familiar with Football Manager knows that ...

(And all this is an entirely separate issue from the fact that the football press is foolishly obsessed with transfer fees to the total exclusion of any discussion of wages ). Ding ding! We have a winner! :) :) I can see why you'd want that, what with Andy Carroll and Jordan Henderson costing the s...

After a day's reflection, and watching of the highlights again, you know what struck me ? Not the majesty of David Silva (whose anointment by Daniel Taylor in the Grauniad as the 'new Paul Scholes' was scotched for me by the fact that (a) he's three times the player that ginger buffoon ever was, and...
