Moneyball won't win the Premiership 2012-13

YES! 3-1!

was a four-on-one, lol

CHOKE ON IIIIIT

briefly wondered if Benteke had started worrying that keeping Villa up would make it less likely he'd get a move away, but I guess he was just getting kicked outta the game before

I thought you meant during the four-on-one, he certainly had time for his mind to wander. Thought about getting an "anticipate..." thread in myself.

Full disclosure: in a sulk at Stoke's equaliser, I went to get a brew on while Lowton was spanking that in, and on my return thought his celebration was him running to square up to a Stoke player

Stoke were really, unbelievably terrible in that game

perhaps they should sack Pulis?

It was surprising and very welcome to see Villa come back after giving up the equalizer. So nice to see them fight instead of wilt.

Sgt biscuits

hi mate just testing out my awesome new Profane Villa Fan troll persona

Just occurred to me, villa have to be among the best represented teams on ilf these days? Spurs and 'pool seem to have steady fanbases but I'm struggling to think of other sides with 3 whole stans on the board

premiership thread had best get its cardiff city fan recruitment drive off the ground

Was lamenting to myself the other day that I don't think we've got any Arsenal fans left?

I could invite some hellishly annoying American Arsenal fans if u guise want

well we did give you piers morgan

I don't think you can pin that one on ilx

btw the united fans are next

yesterday's suedey2, upto11 and james mitchell, hounded off the boards in a maelstrom of derision, today's number0 and nbs. then pete w will return, triumphant, with half the chelsea forum in tow

we had a man city fan once didn't we

for reference in case it helps

full disclosure: in which we admit our biases

xp Steady on, newbie. Those two play the vital role of stopping anybody else getting cocky, ever.

I want to hear a bit more about Villa's next generation, seeing as they've now got a fighting chance of sticking around.

xp <3 that thread *something in my eye for the fallen*

didn't even mention a hoy hoy, weird that arsenal hivemind exile

ilf needs* a really arrogant real madrid fan

*it doesn't

mickey owen's 1000-yard stare from the bench is really something

saints-wise, a bittersweet win. i'm concerned that nigel's heart isn't in the reading thing, understandably perhaps. and forget lambert being better than welbeck, sturridge etc, he's better than gerrard innit.

toying with adopting norwich for next season, quite amusing tonight

lee camp's stupid haircut, snodgrass simply amazed at heading a ball in, michael turner mean mugging, etc

god bless southampton getting away with this defending

j-rod's certainly perked up since poch turned up huh

adkins' haircut, man

adkins' suit, man

swear to god if you'd have had these exact same saints players out in qpr shirts today it'd have ended 4-2 to reading somehow

That saints goal, bit reckless tbh

Lawro wtf

just a bit of getting clattered, let's be cool

hi I'm still here I've just been watching videos of Rosicky and Ramsey doing this and wondering what happened

must be the balls

Shawx and class a drugs iirc

Arsenal now just a rehab center for broken or soon to be broken players

or Barcelona bench warmers

Ah here, wb and all that, but 'now?'

not as comparison to us, cos obv you'll get third, but yiv been barca reserves for decade and the knacker's yard idk five years

Us, we'll sell bale and buy another three 'prospects' but no guaranteed centre forward, the wheel turns

I didn't mean now like it just happened or anything, fifth season of deja vu and counting

The worst bit is where you get excited and think maybe things might be different this time, before settling in to the same old routine

I just can't say no to poor frail Diaby, barely able to stand on his weak legs and begging for forgiveness

IK otm

Feels a bit cheap at this point but rooting for QPR so hard today.

we're all just assuming that Wigan'll win from here on in, I'm barely even considering them as candidates - but they're in the bottom three and they're not actually very good

Since this is the last time anyone will pay attention to this game this afternoon... Liverpool completely on top, passing all around West Ham - but every time the ball gets beyond the eighteen-yard line, or to Suarez at all, the iron boots come on and it gets shinned out or shanked into useless space. A 0-1 defeat, and safety for West Ham, awaits.

Nightmare cross, nightmare finish

Spurs 1-0 up within a minute.

could vertonghen become our next 40m lw sensation

One man team.

Suspect

cunts

that replay will show that linesman to be a lying cheating cunt
