Bollocks.

I hope Paul Hartley gets fit soon. We need him badly.

If I tried to explain how much I hate Rangers, it would probably crash the EA server.

Better luck next time.

Hope your management situation is more stable this year. Was very dissapointed to see Burley go. Your mini-Abramovich has brought some much needed money to the club, but he's a bit of a maniac as well isn't he?

Ditto on the Rangers view.

Aye, Romanov is a bit of a nutter. He's entertaining though. I like how he has criticised pretty much everything about the infrastructure of the Scottish Football Association. As someone who has experienced what it's like (I played for Hearts at under 16 level) I wholeheartedly agree with him.

I hope Celtic get beaten today.

I can't agree with you there. I was raised on a diet of Dalglish, so I follow Celtic and Liverpool quite a bit. (You can just ignore that Greenock Morton comment I made earlier.) Though to be honest, I wouldn't mind seeing Hearts win the SPL this year, as 15 odd years of 'Gers and Bhoys has gotten fuckin' dry. (Just like the Arse and the Manure were dull until Chavski came along... but now I'm ready for Liverpool to win it this year, but they're not going to do it if Rafa can't get his midfield sorted. Gerrard on the wing, WTF?)

Yeah, would like to see the SPL shaken up a bit, and I guess Romanov is a good start.

Well, gotta watch Man City and the Chavs now. Just once, during a press interview, I would love to see Stuart Pearce go: "God Save the Queen! We mean it man..." or maybe warble a bit off Flowers of Romance.

Lost 3-0 to Chelsea.

Big arse. No surprise, but...

Welcome back, football season, oh how we have missed you. Mourinho, grrrr. I like to think that his churlishness and lack of dignity come from the nagging feeling that he'll never be rated while he's got unlimited funds behind him, though this is probably just bad cod-psychology and he might just be a spoiled brat.

Still, if you know you're going to get smacked in the mouth, it's always nice to get it out of the way early in the evening.

Nah, I agree with your psychology completely. And fuck the cunt. Bah.

It was nice to see Nicky Weaver get a game, though. I went with a friend to the Division Two playoff games - big screen at Maine Road and second leg against Wigan (I invaded the pitch at the end - fun!), and then that game at Wembley against Gillingham. Utter chaos, the most insane football match I've ever been to. It was a privelege to watch! And I'll always remember Weaver for his celebrations after the shoot out, watching him leg it around behind the goal while the team tried to catch him...

The end of the game was carnage, so many people had left but came rushing back when City equalised, it was like being on terraces at the end. One guy we were with didn't see any of City's goals, he'd left when the comeback goals were scored and then couldn't face watching the penalties.

Great times.

Tommy, waccoe is intolerable. I read it sometimes to catch up on rumours and stuff but my patience wears incredibly quickly. I prefer the Squareball, even if it does have it's outright weird moments. At the moment, the sack Blackwell line is gaining common acceptance, but I can't comprehend the proposed replacements - Glenn Hoddle? Has it really come to this? Glenn fucking Hoddle?

That fantasy league team is awful to look at. I meant to add yesterday, the pain of that whole era is that it's was brilliant, but to find out it was built on absolutely nothing - that we didn't even own most of the players! - was just too bitter a blow to stand. I can't enjoy the memories very much because I know how it ends now. Apparently Ken Bates took a disliking to Peter Ridsdale's behaviour at the Cardiff game yesterday and has banned him from Elland Road. Not before time!

the ridsdale banning is hilarious.
i've completely changed my mind about ken bates since he's been at leeds. he kicked all the shysters out of the club and he isn't afraid to say what's on his mind. can't argue with the financial turn around can you? he's a bastard but now at least he's our bastard.
it took one mention of glenn fucking hoddle today to make me back blackwell again. hoddle can fuck right off.

Tonight: Toulouse 1 - 0 Nice
Apparently undeserved but still, It seems it's gonna be a difficult season for Nice.

The day I knew something was going very wrong at Elland Road: when I stood in the Kop Bar and watched an advert for this dvd:



My word. What the fuck did he think he was doing?

It wasn't a great game for City, but I think there were a few positive signs you can take away from the game. I mean, at least you didn't end up like Fulham there did you?

Biggest disappointment for me was Samaras though, he just wasn't able to get into the flow of the game, and that was too bad, because he could be key for you this season. Corradi looks like quite a worker as long as he can keep his temper under control. Though I'm not sure about playing Corradi and Samaras together, as neither of them have the pace to really open up a defence and keep them off balance, and without enough support from the wings, their heading ability is kind of negated. I would play Samaras/Vassell to start and then bring Corradi and Dickov on when I just wanted to irritate the fuck out of an opponent.

You've got Redknapp's Pompey next, and then the Arse after that. Best of luck.

...dislike Chavski, but I will say this, despite all the crap that's been said about him diving, etc. and how overrated he is for the price tag, I think Drogba is quality. (the price tag wasn't his fault) He has a specific role in that team, and he plays it to perfection. He's probably got the best heading technique in the world right now, and that third goal was top drawer.

Leeds... did O'Leary spend them into the grave or what? You knew things were really bad when they signed Seth Johnson. Might as well just start mugging grannies then.

Best bit of business ever. Sell Seth for 7million and then get him back for nothing.
