Something to do with Berbatov's intriguing promise to Martin Jol. All he wants is a day off.

That's all I have to say really.

Watched it in a pub in Scotland, and 99% of the other people in there were huddled around the other telly cheering on the Welsh in the rugger. Then they all fucked off and didn't stay to watch the Scotland game! Bellends.

had something for everyone- it had John Terry presenting his rear to West Ham's traveling support, but then also John Terry's rear being pelted by a range of small objects.

To sum this post up: John Terry's rear.

Can we talk about something else?

Given the initial reaction of everyone, I was expecting to see the lad go through his knees with both feet and the ball to be nowhere in sight.

Fair enough, he led with his studs and probably could've been off, but he seemed to just misjudge the bounce of the ball rather than deliberately go for the player. I remember seeing Lee Carsley do something very similar to Chris Iwelumo a few seasons ago.

Ah well, at least its a marginally more interesting subject to debate tediously for the next few days than handballs and that.

21 points off top with 8 games in hand, they've played 14 games less than some teams. Think they might need a rethink on how they sort their games out for next season.

with a home loss to Fulham.

The Gunners put in a professional performance against a fairly uninspired Swansea and are now four points behind with a game in hand AND an easier run in AND few games to play..

I'm not counting any chickens yet but am content at the situation as it stands.

going by their remaining fixtures. They're only 1 point above Villa at the moment so it wouldn't even take a big collapse of form for it to come to fruition

Swansea away looked like a banana skin and I thought Fulham would be a gift for Spurs. Still think it'll go right to the wire, and I always thought the gap would narrow at some point in the run in but the earlier the better.

Let the anti-bants begin.

The paper yesterday had The Stats™ for most saves, most catches and most dropped catches. Petr Cech was pretty much the only top half keeper in the top ten for saves and catches (Ben Foster was lurking in there somewhere) and the pretty much the only keeper in the 'most catches' top ten not to appear in the 'most dropped catches' top ten.

I knew Cech was a great keeper, I didn't realise Chelsea had such a potentially leaky defence...unless I've misinterpreted the stats, obvs.

I would say the Premiership has been fun, but bar trolling the shit out of Chelsea, it's been pretty miserable

But it was rather joyous to see us fucking battle, win dirty, and be on the beneficial end of some calamitous decisions for a change. Good.

Obviously pretty funny watching the collective bum squeaking and they do have a tricky run in, but it only really works if somebody can string enough results together to take advantage and there's no real indication that Arsenal or Everton are remotely capable of that.

1. Is there any way of seeing a full list of fixtures set to take place on a particular date?

turgid. they're still doing highlights of every game? whats the point. it just means there's 7 times as much unnecessary analysis.

Best player potentially out for the season, as well (Sako). Still think we're more likely to go down than survive. Even some of the ugliest hoofball imaginable won't save us.

If current form prevails, Torquay and York will go down. I know he's only had 3 games but Worthington has started in Saunders-like form. Dire stuff.

I did a quick calculation based on
- bottom 10 clubs' current points, plus
- predicted number of points for last 8 games*(based on last 8 games' form)

and yeah, it's gonna be close between Wigan and Sunderland for the last spot:

11. Norwich 34+8 = 42
12. Wagons 30+11 = 41
13. Southampton 31+9 = 40
14. Newcastle 33+7 = 40
15. West Ham 33+7 = 40
16. Stoke 34+5 = 39
17. Sunderland 31 + 6 = 37
18. Wigan 27+9 = 36 (*9 games)
19. QPR 23+9 = 32
20. Reading 23+6 = 29

Wilshere's out for 6 weeks. Bugger.

YEAH!!!!

after he seemed genuinely happy to be called up and due to his fitness problems over the last 3 years i'll give him the benefit of the doubt, but i'm sure most people won't.

thats Dawson, Cahill and Ferdinand that have withdrawn then. Lescott and Caulker to get call ups?

notched up his 226th goal on the weekend moving him to 2nd overall on the all time serie A goalscorers list. For someone that was overated in his prime Totti is somewhat underated as a player these days. A truly fine footballer enjoying a bit of a renaissance over the last couple of years. Well done to the king of Rome.

The Roma scudetto winning side of 2001 will always be up there as one of my favourites. Batistuta, Montella, Delvecchio, Cafu, Candela, Tommasi, Aldair, Nakata, Samuel...even Jonathan Zebina and the thug that was Emerson.

Are going to be us going down.

I've got a new job where I won't be able to post on here any more start in a couple of months FYI. Given I recently stopped posting on here cos I was getting shit in my current job for spending too much time on here, I probably should start the new one fresh.

So if you've got some bants for me, you've got till mid May to go HAM
