-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fixtures spread around which isn't great but there's some important games, particularly in midweek.

The relegation scrap is the focus tomorrow with the Hull game being crucial for both sides. West Ham got a great point at Goodison park which may propel them on to safety now, Sunderland have been great at home but their away form is poor.

On Sunday United will play game 3 without a fit Rooney. So far they have suffered killer blows in the league and in the CL without him but Alladyce will do his horse betting chum a big favour and will set his team up to lie down and die

In the race for fourth a City win and anything but a Liverpool win see us out of the race for good. We're hanging on by a thread as it is but if City can somehow drop points and we win then there's a glimmer of hope. The two pride's of Europe go head to head at Anfield.

In midweek, a likely win for Chelsea will put pressure on Arsenal when they go to Spurs in what promises to be a cracker. If Arsenal win that then they still have to be taken seriously for the title.

Villa need a win against Everton to stay in the race for fourth.

Liverpool vs Fulham will surely be an interesting forerunner to the Europa Cup final....

Was hoping for some good Premier League action to set the mood for the Clasico tonight, but instead we're stuck with a pair of counter-arguments to the 39th game proposal

Guess I'll have to whet my appetite with the FA Cup semifinal, Fiorentina-Inter, and perhaps Leverkusen-Bayern.


Blackburn to get a result against Man. Utd. on Sunday, mmw.

I think not. every player has determined vibes more than ive heard before. They seem stunned they lost against Bayern. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/8612293.stm

WHAT?

What?

That sentence doesn't make sense. I was asking what you meant by it.

Messi circle jerk on football focus. Cover your childrens eyes

Still doesn't make sense Lrd. Try a third time.

Nice to see we got a few lines from Hughton at the arse end of the show. You'd think after just getting promoted with a month to spare they might be able to do better than that, but perhaps they just save the show long circle jerks for media darlings like Spurs.

It gives you something else to moan about Kimmy so you should be grateful for that

We talked about this a couple of weeks ago, which is why i've brought it up. This was not random.

God, we're having all the chances, but we can't get a shot on.

Oh ffs, Gordon bundles the ball, grabs Cole around the waist, and drags him to the floor, and the ref calls a foul on Cole, the announcers are questioning the reasoning of the ref.

Gordon has been awful, his kicking has been everywhere, he even nearly scored into his own net off the back off Cole, he handled the ball outside his area, and was given a yellow card, how can we not score on him.

Ilan! 1-0!

Here come a nervy 30 mins.

An Ian Dowie inspired Hull are getting thrashed at home to Burnley. Quite an achievement that.

Burnley's away form has been Chelsea-esque this season, that's a real shock and it looks like the bottom 3 are decided now.

I just about threw up a couple times there.

Man, watching MOTD, Hull don't deserve to stay up, they looked god awful. More like League One.

Hull *temporary football management consultant* Iain Dowie:

They deserve to go down just for that - pretentious or what?!

Where did you find that?

Blackburn v United on today eh.

Just shown the drunk cheering on his winner on Friday I think at Aintree, who was his special guest jumping up and down next to him? Fat Sam. Surely not the same Allardyce who is the manager of the team they're playing this weekend.

I remember after Blackburn got a good result against Chelsea, instead of praising his players in the post match interview, he instead boasted that Ferguson had sent him a congratulatory text message.

The drunk and Churchill the dog have been mates for ages. They planned a savage attack on Rafa last year behind the scenes but could only muster some laughable hand gesture as the source of their discontent.

Typical Germans

A savage attack?


Wait until you get raped by an Irishman, then you'll know what savage is.

Isnt it a bit weird that West Ham finally win when their best player (by far) and captain is suspended. Football players are so odd sometimes, I suppose he was carrying him Gerrard style and when he was absent they had to step up?

I wouldn't worry too much - Blackburn gave you a good game at OT last season when MGP was denied a clear pen and ronaldo escaped a certain red card but they were desperately in need of points.

I'm sure Allardyce will go back to rolling over and having his tummy tickled for SAF today.
