So now we know who to blame when John Terry gets into a spot of bother visiting Brixton... please log in to view this image
Very entertaining game at Norwich tonight. Fast pace, poor defending and 2 sides pushing numbers forward. All the good stuff. Shame the finishing has been poor, with even the goal being a fortunate deflection. We always slate the refs but Madeley(?) made a brilliant call at the end of the half spotting a dive from Hoolahan, I thought it looked a stonewall pen in realtime. Forget the Champions League, we should be looking to be in the Championship, that's where the best football is.
There's a lot of good football people who deserve to come out of the Championship this season. There's the manager at Bournemouth who deserves promotion, there's also the chairman of Middlesbrough, there's also the manager of Derby County, there's also Delia at Norwich and there's also the guy at Brentford who has performed miracles.
Bournemouth were 92nd in the football league 6 years ago. Now following the Lazarus trend set by Burnley and Swansea
All quality sides too. I don't like the way Watford have gone about things so it'll be a bit disappointing if they go up and I'm not exactly chomping at the bit to have a Mick McCarthy side back in the PL either. Still, whoever qualifies this season will deserve it. Big win for Boro, they look the best equipped for a survival in the Premier League if I'm honest.
Haha, didn't see this before I had the McCarthy dig. Can't stand watching his sides play, never forgave him for not giving Luongo a proper chance because he didn't fit into his dour football either
How is this different from me "blacking up"? Have I missed the irony? I have a right to be offended! Wait, no I don't. Do I? Bah. Sol Campbell.
Jackett might face the unenviable task of needing to win on the last day to get into the play-offs, while relegating his old club by doing so. Wolves face Millwall, who have an uphill fight on their hands, but whose form has been much better under their new manager, Neil Harris. Rotherham have been charged with fielding an ineligible player, so they could be dropped right in it. The Championship's such a close division. Everyone beats everyone else and every game seems to have something on it.
John Terry has been effectively accused of being a dodgy, ****faced weasel by Jamie Carragher, following his voting for POTY. The indecipherable Scouser has pointed out that Terry's vote for Coutinho is basically a spoiled ballot, as nobody else will pick him. He believes that the Chelsea players will have been ordered to make similar crappy votes by their captain. How is Carragher so sure that such ****ty behaviour takes place in a poll that relies upon sportmanship, integrity and honesty? Because he did it himself in order to get Gerrard to win it in 2006. It's just a symptom of the mindset in modern football, unfortunately. It makes the whole award an utter waste of time. Players aren't honest on the pitch, so why should they be off it?
It was nice of us to get Leicester's season back on track by letting them score against us repeatedly, wasn't it? 3 consecutive wins, assuming that they don't concede twice in injury time.
Chelsea will be ecstatic with that result. 10 points clear with a handful of games left. Even if they lose to Arsenal, they're still miles ahead.
According to the BBC: Reading forward Jamie Mackie was unlucky to have been ruled offside when clean through before Arsenal scored the opener. Or to put it another way: The assistant referee made an extremely bad call in favour of Arsenal
