Refs a liar and a cheat and a coward in this one

The fuck is bale wearing

lotta Pretty Good goals today

"The Melt", sez Google trans

It's like that thing where you think "Leonardo" is an exotic name and then you realise it's kinda similar to Leonard

like Leonard Rossiter

can only assuming it means ironworker or whatever, or assuming they had them back in ye olde times, fondu operative

I've looked at Bale's face for ages now, trying to pinpoint: what cartoon character does he look like? Same jawline, mouth to one side. It's a cartoon figure, possible anime even though I barely watch anime. Surely someone here will know?

'Arry in the Championship makes me sad for some reason

even i find arry in the championship amusing, stop being rong

With Arry in the Championship so many PL lols will be lost. You are cruel.

QPR manager Harry Redknapp:
"I'm looking forward to the challenge next season. I went to watch a (Championship) game today because we're going to be in that division next season."

lol

btw is there no currently running snooker thread? having trouble finding it through sears (as in: can't find it). ta

sears=search

yet another motd kieslowski diss

'It's like a Polish art house movie at the moment'

when did Steve Wilson last watch a Polish art house movie?

Lineker no~!

'Wigan have no peers' is the best pun Lineker has made, in an increasingly lame career of consciously mediocre moments of this kind.

THEY ARE PLAYING 'GET LUCKY' ON THE CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW

It was Lineker saying "things are getting somewhat tight down the bottom - [raises eyebrow] - not always a bad thing" that I was belatedly trying to prevent btw

oh that is absolutely dire

I will be interested to see how Hull perform next season. Definitely a weaker side than a few below them in the 2nd Division. Bruce will have to transfer list his son and spend wisely to stay up. Hull are not even close to the quality that Southampton and Norwich possessed as previous promotion sides. It seems crazy that a lot of the current Southampton squad were league 1 regulars a couple of years back.

As far as I can see Cardiff aren't even close to Southampton or Norwich either.

Are Cardiff likely to spend a lot of money? I know they are owned by a billionaire but their financial situation always seems a bit opaque. They don't look a particularly strong squad as it is.

Will be interesting to see where Jordan Rhodes ends up if he doesn't stay at Blackburn.

It looks like whoever goes up in the playoffs will be the only club with a real shout of staying up. Those four are all potentially pretty decent, no? It's perplexing that the top two should seem such lumpen dross.

I wdn't say City are lumpen but the squad looks thin and defensively v. frail. There might be enough money to strengthen sufficiently if Bruce spends sensibly. Cardiff kind of the opposite, they cd shitkick their way to 17th possibly.

but yeah Brighton or a Watford that keeps most of its players look a much better proposition

another one for the renaissance painting file

"mr bruce, my child is blind, heal her"

"mr bruce - i need more grain to get me through the winter."

"mr bruce sir - our youngest has polio, please lay your hands on her..."

Mr Bruce casts out the cash convertors

"I asked you to tidy up, Alex"

Reina; Johnson, Carragher, Agger, Jose Enrique; Lucas, Gerrard, Downing, Henderson; Coutinho, Sturridge

Howard; Coleman, Jagielka; Distin, Baines, Mirallas, Osman, Gibson, Pienaar, Fellaini; Anichebe

So if Wigan beat Swansea on Tuesday, shit suddenly gets very real for the entire bottom half of the table again, doesn't it? Assuming Stoke don't get a win away at Sunderland on Monday night.

Woah I hadn't actually noticed that but srsly the team in 11th could still go down.

I'm not sure Swansea have actually beaten anyone since winning the league cup in February.

Everton goal disallowed because of......erm.......

Argh fuck off with this piece of shit team selection Fergie.

it's a rum'un alright

Maximising his chances of signing Bale there.

suspect that after a lot of noise, levy will keep him for another year with an agreement he can leave then
