Thursday Football Thread
Aston Villa beat Blackburn 6-4 in a game I deemed, and I quote, 'boring' 8 minutes in and turned off to do something else instead. Villa fans invade pitch and wave flags. Happy days.
Arsenal display their unwavering commitment to attacking football but scoring a goal even when a member of the opposing team is on the deck with their ankle broken. Such conviction. They ran out 4-2 winners against Bolton and take top spot on goals scored for the time being.
The one race that's perhaps even tighter than that for 1st place is that for 4th. Spurs step aside and allow Liverpool back in, with Dirk Kuyt scoring a brace in Liverpool's 2-0 win.
Haven't bothered looking at lower leage stuff. Someone else fill us in.
Loads of transfer bobbins but a few rumours look reasonable enough, mainly West Ham's supposed £1.7 bid for Blackburn's Benni McCarthy.
Carlos Tevez has claimed his ear-cupping celebration was a tribute to some sort of puppet. Right.
