Dislike the Wolves but glad they are on the way to safety, next season will be great in terms of Midlands rivalry if they stay up and Albion back up.

I'm flattered but I don't regard myself as an expert. I consume a lot of live football though and am convinced that any team in the Spanish League  wouldn't last five minutes  in this one. Furthermore I couldn't give a flyer whether the archcheat Ronaldo loses his ability or not, neither he nor his crap expensive team are in the Champions League (sic) and later on I'm looking forward to joining my pals all across Europe in pouring derision on him and his national team.

Meanwhile a great win last night against the mighty Preston.
I feel as though I owe an apology to that Irish bloke who manages Wolverhampton. In the close season I suggested that we should throw a load of cash in his direction and invite him to be our manager. After all he would be having a short tenure and Wolves aren't a Premiership team. I now understand that this son of the Emerald Isle is a manager sans pareil and that Wolverhampton is a bigger club than I had ever considered.

are the play-offs still a possibility Joe, looks a bit of a gap between teams 3-6 and the rest.

I don't think so! We really are rubbish in front of goal. Great goalkeeper, reasonable defence though.

Maybe next season, but you never know, Cardiff last season managed to throw a 15 points advantage over Preston away, and a place in the playoffs.

I'm not certain they want to go up. There is a slight cheap tinge to the team. They got rid of the big earners and have loan players. Maybe a period of consolidation and a full blazing attack next year. That could be fraught with danger given some of the clubs likely to arrive from both directions next season.

Sadly, I think that's how footballs these days outside of the Premeirship. I wonder the fallout from Pompey won't end with them sliding through the divisions, also add Hull to that as well.

No no no, I wasn't meaning you. I mean I despise the football experts who get paid to be football experts on TV. So much ignorance which would be fine if they weren't getting paid to be experts on the subject.

 I was jokin yer.

I see Arshavin is whingeing about his own side again, this time its about Arsenal not going to win the prem. Had he been a player at city he would be shafted straight out of manchester.

Little Sh*tbag

Corrupt

Not only is the ref handing out the cards for every tackle we make... but also decided to blow the whistle for H/T just as we were about to cross the ball.

2-0

Only got ourselves to blame for that second half, hats off to Evertons defense... alot stronger than ours. I would be happy with 5th or 6th place this season, not sure other fellow blues would be though.

I watched the first half of Spurs v Fulham and that first half performance from Fulham was probably the best away performance I've seen from a team in ages. Considering they were up against a team with superior quality players, Fulham passed passed passed for the entire half and Spurs couldn't get the ball what so ever. Danny Murphy is a class act on his day.
All gone tits up second half for them though.

Are Liverpool going to get the most undeserved 4th place finish ever? I think they will to be honest.

Dundee United 1 Rangers 0

I bet Tony "Fly me to the moon!" Mowbray wishes that he had put in for the 'Boro job.

Once again, I'm disappointed to see no reaction from the media with regard to West Ham fans abuse of both Zola and their own players, after myself and every other Bolton fan were castigated for aiming a few boos at Megson. Of course we didn't stoop to the pitiful depths of abusing the players like the cockernees have as we could tell they were blameless.

I also found it interesting that the Wolves team that beat West Ham contained 8 of the players that played in the game against Man Utd when they were fined for playing a weakened team...

.... are you sure?

Where to start... I'll keep it short and sweet, you had the journalists writing blogs/articles and pundits (failed managers) on TV saying 'they should think themselves lucky they've got Gary, the way they've treated him is a disgrace, who do they think they are' and other such nonsense, and all this went on for about four months until he was finally sacked, at which point we were treated to predictions of doom, gloom, and relegation. That's worked out well for them...

Fair enough, they are entitled to their opinions, but it would be nice to see a little consistency. But we won't get that because West Ham 'won the World Caaaappp' and as such are given a free pass with everything from playing a couple of Argentinians that they didn't own to having a large chunk of their fan base stuck in the dark days of the 1970's (and this gets glorified).

We were in the same situation with Hughes, journos/experts saying we should sack him... and when we did they said it was a disgrace

I hadn't really looked at it like that. Looking forward to playing West Ham next year mind. Always a good away game.

Are we talking tabloid back pages? They always try to fill in as much paper as they can with a headline. It's always sensationalist stuff and they never reflect what Football fans are interested in.

I bet he does now...

It always difficult to make that jump up in class from the Scottish League to the Championship mind, as Strachan and half of the Celtic reserves are discovering. Having said that, Barry Robson is rather good.

Some interesting games to morrow, right down to Norwich v Leeds, pausing at Reading v West Brom, begining at West ham v Stoke.

I think West Ham will get a result tomorrow, they have to I guess, fixtures are running out fast for them,  Isn't it weird how we getting feelings about certain games, I'm sure somoeone elsewhere feels Stoke will get a result, that's football I guess.  I also feel a draw for one of the top 3 in the premiership, not sure which one though.

Reading are 13/8 to beat WBA, it's tempting. They really are in form and that Jimmy Kebe is extremely special. West Ham 11/10. Norwich Evens.

Albion do seem to be letting a lot of goals in lately, mind you, they may have a point to prove after their exit to Reading in dramatic fashion in the FA cup a few months back.

Really hope Albion win, then if Newcastle beat Forest.. sweet!.

Glad ToMo left now, Di Matteo has done a great job since he took over.

Cardiff for the play offs hopefully.

6-0 win tomorrow, Muamba double hat trick...

:Excited: Just got a bit of touching up to do and then I can pick my horses and footie teams. I love Saturday afternoons, me.

I see Adebayor is in trouble over his bad taste.
Apparently he was seen at a 50 Cent gig. I would rather be observed buying marital aids than be seen coming out of a 50 Cent gig.

Why the f*** would a anti-gun campaigning mother take her two children to see a gangster rapper

Never heard such b*llocks.

Indeed!   The whole article was a load of bollocks. I couldn't believe it when I saw that The Grauniad had published such a  crap article with poor conclusions. You expect that sort of rubbish in the scratter press.

I may send a complaint in about Arsenal... their shirt has a cannon on it.
