Moneyball won't win the Premiership 2012-13

How could I forget?

ah, I can smile again (until city come back to win 3-2)

why oh why didn't I put that fiver on Southampton when I thought about it? bugger

YES

FUCK YES

What in the fuck was that

What remains to be decided this year?

• one(?) CL spot between three
• two relegation places between six

Every time I see Southampton I wonder how on earth they're so low in the table. Their 1-1 with Arsenal earlier this season was the most ineffectual I've seen Arsenal in a long, long time

cork/schneiderlin might be the best epl non-top-4 epl cm, compares favourably to mccarthy/macarthur and even britton/agustien/de guzman/idk

Rickie Lambert is the English Zlatan

Slightly on the verge of tears a bit. Everyone around us loses, and we don't. We do the champions instead. I've looked at the run-in and there's all manner of potential banana skins, but we could be mid-table by next Sunday. Bloody hell.

all the story needs is resolution for adkins

espanyol shd hire him

He gazumps the supporters' trust for Portsmouth, leads them into liquidation

most fun I've had at SMS this year, bloody hell, that was epic. we're going places. even handing the title to utd can't take the shine off :)

Take the shine off??? Surely it just adds to the whole joyous experience?

i suppose someone has to win it

The sight of the Reading players trying to mark the Stoke blunderbusses is quite upsetting.

Only seen the first two soton goals so far, joe hart can expect a call from that match fixing investigation

Some finish from dzeko, that

Lol what am i sayin saw barry og earlier, all 'dodgy' looking goals really

Rickie Lambert is the English Zlatan

this does makes a nice change from the grant holt comparisons

I wouldn't like to be Hart or Barry right now, imagining the shredding they must have taken on motd.

Oof, 'a bad day at the office' - I'll say!

How was I unaware of this guy? Former Reading keeper Marcus Hahnemann, Manchester United keeper David de Gea and the ex-Tottenham stopper Kasey Keller are all apparently big metal fans. But my all-time favourite is Dario Dubios, the Argentinian who played in full corpse paint.

Didn't know where to put this so I'll put it here as it's pretty lolworthy.

Both The Independent and The Mirror are reporting about a batshit story about Andy van der Meijde having warned Royston Drenthe when he came to play for Everton about temptations like sex and drugs. And that, now that Drenthe has gone to Russia, Van der Meije even checked out the girls for him in Russia there, reporting: "“Nothing to do. Ugly women. The coast is clear.”"

The source of the story is a satirical, Onion-like piece on a Dutch website that is completely made up.

Best language!

"stevige ... taxi ... ik hoor ... skiën op cocaïne ... phil kollins ... smekt de dj ... o man, o man" - really makes the story come alive imo

uh

for fucks sake.

Shit running right out of Villa at the end here - and there's a late og to make it worse.

woohoo! 3 points!

god even when villa somehow hold out it feels like watching someone kicking a puppy.

Jones in for Carrick. Could be ugly

A Villa win is the pity fuck of the EPL.

Those last ten minutes must have been terrible for the fans - every attack looks as if it'll be the one to finish them. They get deeper and deeper every minute and end up with everyone crowded on top of the keeper.

Great win today though - they needed it to have any chance.

probably too much to hope for to see west ham sucked in isn't it

came in from going to the shops just as this game was finishing, put Talksport on as it was the only broadcast source available to me. Collymore was ripping into Villa's myriad failings for a solid minute, only after which it transpired that they'd actually won. his on-air demeanour is consistently bizarre to me

several xposts to IK: how am I only finding out via that MBM that Paul McGregor ex of Forest, Northampton etc is now in that band Ulterior? I guess cos I don't really care abt them but even so

This stuff might be all over the metal threads tbf, but still not worth the risk of opening them imo.

Despite the scoreline, Everton have looked the stronger team for about half an hour. Not that I'm complaining.

Rafael is so good. I love him

lovely footage of Robbie Fowler kicking John Bishop in the face just now

We desperately need a centre forward on - either Fowler or Bishop would do tbh.

super soft pen

for goodness' sake

here comes Coutinho, excellent diversion tactic

ugh

no goal has ever been more inevitable

wtf's happened here
