Did you have some inside information, or do you just know far more about football than the rest of us could ever dream of?

Apparently there's a website that allows you to read (and scorn over) the Daily Mail's content, but without allowing them to benefit from advertising.

Yep, that's completely fabricated.

Bloody hell. That was horrible to watch. Who would have thought Wigan v Swansea would hold so much interest.

Conversely, some people could do with a bit of micro managing quite often.

Was there a lucky wank in the midst of that post?

Good way to put it. Shows how undeniably shit Sunderland are too...

I wonder if Everton will start buying up houses on the same street, just to stop Liverpool from expanding Anfield...

Then, and only then, would Roberto Martinez be justified in calling McManaman a victim.

It's the spine of the team - don't forget Tim Krul too. The Krul - Coloccini - Tiote - Cabaye - Ben Arfa spine has been significantly disrupted for pretty much the entire season. Any side outside of the top 4 would have struggled to get anywhere whilst missing so many massive players. This isn't an excuse - it's a reason for our failings. There are only 10 points between us and 8th place - that would be 3 wins and a draw. So beating Reading, Swansea and West Ham at home, whilst picking up a draw at Wigan. I'm convinced we would have managed that with our spine intact.

The whole Wigan thing has pissed me off massively. Not only did McManaman stay on the pitch, not only did they cheat their way to victory, but he's scored crucial goals for them in the games since, when he really should have been banned. The only way things could even out now would be if McManaman scored the own goal which relegated Wigan, and simultaneously shat himself and snapped his cruciate ligament in the process.

Depends on the manner of the defeat. If it includes another goal incorrectly chalked off for offside, or another goal incorrectly chalked off even though the ball crossed the line, or another thigh high deliberate assault going unpunished, or another winner following a deliberate handball...

Gosling really is our worst player. He doesn't seem to have anything about him, his game is full of errors and he's almost constantly injured. And to think Everton were pissed off when he left on a free...

I'm not a fan of Ryder at all, but that's the tabloid writing style - it's not supposed to be paragraphs and long sentences.

Just reading the green bits is quite depressing. We really do know fuck all.

I like that you don't let prejudice get in the way of a sensible debate.

I reckon if Cisse's non offside goal against thr mackems had stood, we'd be safe now.

Mouth, arse, mouth, fanny, arse, mouth. In that order.

Sunderland also have just Danny Graham to lead their attack.

Get a room, you two

Don't rule Norwich or Sunderland out yet.

He probably needs a rest. Hopefully this means a return to Cabaye and Tiote playing their more natural game together, flabked by Jonas and Ben Arfa.

Quite possibly. This is the internet after all!
