Spurs losing to Norwich at home

To be fair, Norwich have been playing quite well since coming back up, and we're kind of focusing on more than one ga....

3pts tonight please boys...

Hopefully they've learned their lesson from the QPR game, Wolves are bound to pull out their performance of the season tonight

[murky21]

^ ye - the game looks so easy on paper that I'm worried about it. Lost 7 in a row at home, we won our last 5 visits to molinuex. Fingers crossed

happy bday btw southstar, hope some bday luck rubs off on the game!

I think if Arsenal can keep Matt Jarvis quiet (who is easily their best player)
I cannot see Wolves posing too much of a threat. He's their main source for
anything really (in fact, I'd love to see the old Maidstone boy in red and white
next season,) unless Ebanks-Blake/Fletcher have the games of their career tonight...
If Arsenal blitz them for the first 20/30 mins I could quite possibly see it being a
complete massacre. Wolves have looked broken since MM was sacked.

It depends on what teams turn up, really. I hope the boys have learned from QPR too.

Would like to see the Ox and Yossi get a starting run out to rotate the team a little.
No Laurent is a Kos (get it?!) for concern because Djouorou is on the team sheet again.

Manchester United lol.

5 point lead

Manchester United lol.

I was laughing my ass off at the text updates on my phone last night, United were utter SHIT. Hopefully they'll only manage a draw against Villa over the w/e...the Manchester derby on the 30th is going to be top drawer

[wub]

Mancini is still writing off their title chances, but looking at the run ins;

Utd - Villa (h), Everton (h), City (a), Swansea (h), Sunderland (a)
City - Norwich (a), Wolves (a), Utd (h), Newcastle (a), QPR (h)

If United drop points against Villa & Everton, they may lose momentum going into the derby, then it'll be down to City's match at Newcastle, given their goal difference.

[meanmrcustard]

Thing is, with 3 out of their last 5 games away from home, I still see City dropping a fair few.

My money's on United to win it with a draw at the Etihad after City drop points this weekend.

City winning the league would be awful.

Sunderland away might be the one, unless its already over by then.
Says a lot about the premiership when a team including carrick, evans, de gea, raphael, berbatov, park, young, welbeck and two 60 year olds can win the league

the liverpool goalkeeping against blackburn, come to think of it, was one of the nuttiest GK sagas iv ever seen....

Reserve goalkeeper gets sent off > Gives away penalty > 3rd Choice makes the save, and celebrates like he's a rock star > later stupidly kicks it against yakubu, completely fucks up catching it, pushes him over, gets carded and gives away penalty which is doesnt save..mental!

To be fair to the guy, I think the celebrations were more in tribute to his 5 year old kid that died a few months ago. Was fairly mental though, would've been really funny if he got sent off too leaving Liverpool with no keepers.

oh yeah thats true - i read that this morning, poor bloke.

Excellent win for Reading.
My FA cup prediction isnt looking so great right now..

[wub]

wub cant be happy

We were outplayed, simple as. Weren't finishing our chances when we should have, playing the long ball in from about 25/30 yards too often. Reading were locking us down in their third of the pitch, and then smashing us on the break.

I don't want Reading to go up, because can anybody conceivably see them finishing anywhere other than 20th next year?

Also, Wub, is Ricky Lambert gonna be the sort of player that scores tremendously in all other divisions, but bags a maximum of 3 goals in the prem?
