me too me three Still rather have Hoddle though.

Sky bigging it up as if he's just won the world title. And why are Honda still showing that advert after they've withdrawn from F1?

Precisely. It's not to do with the cut being close to his eye, it's the blood trickling into his eye and resticting his vision. He can't fight if he can't see.

Fucking hell, where did Phil Brown get that coat? Looks like something Ben Elton wore in the eighties.

Ah, another character. Ban please.

Arshavin's second goal in particular, and play in general was most reminiscent of a Mr P. Beardsely esq. of Tyneside.

Shocking. Is that sort of cheating , sorry 'gamesmanship', coming from Allaardyce?

Stoke bought Etherington to put crosses in and Beattie to finish them off. That might be enough to keep them up and sent us down. The pair of them were £5.5m. How much would relegation cost us?

Who's that in your ava Hoggy?

There is some debate about how light their car is. Briatore is apparently in a huff and refuses to believe that they're doing anything other than set false times but Gene has came out and said no matter how little fuel they have in their car Ferrari would be unable to match them with the same amount and both Sam Michael and Sebastian Vettel has already came out and said they'll walk over everyone else at Melbourne at this rate. Different people in the paddock seem to have different opinions. Button's big lap time that made everyone sit up and take notice was done on the third lap of a four lap run and similar quali-simulations from other teams didn't come close to knocking it off the board. It looks to me as if the fact they spent all of 2008 developing this seasons car is paying off big time. I'd imagine they didn't find out til very late in the day, development-wise, that they were were fitting a Mercedes engine in it. Which make the times in comparison the the Mercedes 'works' engined Mclarens even more amusing. I'd love it if Button could regularly beat Hamilton this season, but usually when there are big changes in the technical regulations the teams with the best R&D (ie the most money) come out on top, so I'm not holding my breath.

Brawn will be running a very light car to set some dazzling times and hopefully attract much needed sponsorship. Can't blame them for that.

What was the status before, protest group?

Couldn't really hold it against Owen or Martins if they jump ship when we go down.

Even at the lowest points of the Souness/ Roeder/ Allardyce eras I didn't really think we'd be relegated. Now I do.

Dread to think what the table might look like after the weekend.

FUCK!

Blackburn equalise. Fuck.

I bet they've done a fabulous job decorating their pond as well.

Clough. But only if he had Taylor with him.

No way was that a pen, the thieves have bought the ref.

Congratulations, and all the best to the three of you.

Ideally suited to the quarterback role, ie standing in or around the centre-circle spraying balls around. Built more like a defensive tackle though.
