It's good to be back Darlo, I've missed my footy chats with you all.

Roy Hodgson (or Uncle Roy as I call him!) has said that his main targets during the summer transfer window will be mostly in defence, with another goalkeeper also high on his list.  This I most definitely agree with as I am not the greatest fan of Scott Carson and never have been.  He is also looking for another striker I would think for back up.  I am sooooo pleased with the team this year, and to be safe with games in hand was a really strange feeling, I could really understand how people were feeling on Survival Sunday after being there so often. 

Everything seems to be falling into place for the team, two or three good signings in the transfer window and we could do even better next season ~ who knows?!

lol ^^^^

It will be even funnier by 10:30 tonight if Manchester United win.

A personal fave:

Barca fans confused by Norwich scarves

I like 'Guardiola seeks welsh starlet'

Mascherano confirmed in the starting 11. This really swings it for me now. He's a great player but he's a liability at centre back from what I've seen. This makes Man United favourites for me now even with only a small percentage of possession and I've just put an extra £50 on MU because of this.

Interestingly Berbatov doesn't even make the bench. Owen does.

'S'up Joe?

Is this CL related? I haven't got it on - not even sure if I want to watch it as I loathe both of them equally.

The sight of either team lifting the trophy will send my blood pressure soaring

Got it on now Joe - couldn't resist. Looks like Crunchy is right about Mascherano being a liability

Well Man Utd are a local team in London!!

We only live a bus ride away from Wemberleee, (Man U supporting) son disappeared early this morning. Unless he went into work to cover for someone then I expect he's been hanging out there all day.

From the sound there are definitely more Man U fans there

So if Man U look like winning it, should we expect some dodgy reffing to come to Barcas rescue yet again?

Oops! 

Sweet goal. I dunno who I want to win   I suppose I should want the 'home' team to but I really don't know. Maybe the better team then? 

Nope I really can't stand watching it, Seeing either of these teams of whinging, diving, card-waving, cheating, arrogant knobends celebrating is turning my stomach

Nice offside goal there for the rags....

Well to be fair it's been quite the opposite so far. The MU goal was offside, Barca possibly should have had a pen. 

Still think Man United will win though. They may get outpassed but Mascherano looks very uncomfortable at CB for me and Man United will get more chances and will probably take them.

By inches joe, good build up to it though...was a tough one to call for linesman.

You can't legally score with your arm so it wasn't offside (just seen the replay)

This is dreadful... you got ratface neville on one channel and roy keane on the other

Ok now that is the final straw. Having to endure the pundit w*nkathon is bad enough but the fact that they comprise someone who makes Delboy look straight, a violent thug, a penalty bottler and Chiles takes it to another level

Bitter, moi?

Haha! wondered when you'd be in here   Hiya 

It was his right foot that was offside... look at it again for yourself.

LOL. Go and have a cuppa Veggie 

Hiya Pam

Taking a break from the books for the night

They were both stood on the 18 yard line, linesman would have been guessing to give it

Though linesmen aren't above tossing a coin for a decision

It'll take summat that's only available on prescription to lower the blood pressure tonight mate!!

Oops! 

Yeah, Vidic earning his money tonight 

Hands off the Chiles La Veg!!  He is a Black Country lad and a Baggie you know!!!  That's why he is so miserable!

I'm not watching, plumped for the Speedway GP on Sky Sports 4, the constant build up today has got on my nerves a bit and also the only Derby worth mentioning is on after (Greyhound Derby) I decided not to watch Sir Jeff and co. 

I prescribe a large glass of something alcoholic hun ((hugs))

Just switched on and Messi scores, think I'd better go back to the speedway for all the Utd fans and people with money on Utd.

Mr Meat was that you I heard yelling??!!
