Rival watch

Sunderland losing at home to Liverpool should mean a certain three points next week.

croydon I've already answered what he's supposed to say. It's ok to sound confident but one looks stupid if what he predicts flops especially if one is a football coach or player.

 

Why? Their performance was awful and I'd expect Poyet to make changes to both personnel and the system.
They've got plenty of time to prepare for the game, too.

 

Just watching Cabella for NUFC against Chelsea and wondering if that's who we thought we were getting when we signed Lamella!

Cabella,Lamella,Cabella,Lamella Hmm close but no cigar!

 

Because PNP if they cannot beat Pool at home then they shouldn't win away to us.

Trust Chelsea to score when their opponents were creating all the chances, but that's footie.

 

Eidur Gudjohnsen scored his first Bolton goal in 14 years today, equalising against Leeds in a 1-1 draw.
I wonder what the record is for the gap between goals for a club?

 

Is it worth re-signing Helder Postiga to find out?

 

Did he actually score a goal to make it possible for a gap to exist?

 

One in the league against the Scouse and one in the League Cup against City, apparently.

 

Saints beat Utd which means I'm not yet writing off anything for us. I have to say that they are surprising me but it kills me to think where we could be today had we just beaten the second bottom club.

 

Gareth Bale was apparently jeered off the pitch when subbed, because he didn't pass the ball to Ronaldo at one point.
This is despite Real winning 3-0 against Espanyol, only having 10 men for a big chunk of the game and scoring this goal:

 

The only reason this was reported was because the papers have a narrative that involves Bale joining Man Utd this transfer window.

 

Bony to City I don't think will work.

 

It will work out short term. I assume Dzeko is injured and Aguero is out (and seemingly quite fragile) so he'll get some games early on. Jovetic seems out of favour. When (if?) Aguero is fully fit, then he doesn't get a look in. But worth it to them if he can keep them in the title hunt for the next month or so.

 

Touche SD, I didn't think of that.

 

During the ACoN?

 

Good point! I didn't think of that. Stupid transfer. Could do with him putting a few past the Goons at the weekend.

 

So what's happening to Jovetic then. I'm sure we wouldn't mind taking him on loan

 

Takes the words out of my mouth.

There’s a bit on that topic in Bull Durham, a movie so good people who hate baseball I think may still really like it.

The kid has gotten called up to the major leagues, and his teammate, a minor league veteran, gives him a lesson on how to say nothing in response to every question.

"No, no, you just say, ’We play ’em one game at a time.’"

"But that’s dull."

"Of course it’s dull! That’s the whole idea!"

 

Right Yid, Pocket looks a complete twit.

 

Only West Ham could cheapen the FAC by wearing their 3rd strip in a home game.
