sexy threats are the best kind of threats

Another 'Spurs win slips under the radar....softly softly......

Lescott and that tweet

Lescott apology tweet and excuse

I would like to add that the tweet sent out from my account involving a picture of a car was a total accident, it happened while driving and my phone was in my pocket

It was the main televised game of the weekend

One thing that is surely boosting the Leicester bandwagon is the fear among neutrals that Spurs might win it otherwise

Good to see Pardew losing again-is that 6 losses out of 7 plus one draw?
And people were seriously putting his name forward as the next England manager.
His spirit and flair bollocks style of management works for a year or so until the players realise there is no depth to it all-Palace won't go down but their slide has been quite dramatic.

Isn't it a lot to do with an injury or two taking away their attacking threat? They've only won 2 games since Bolasie got injured, with Wickham out for most of that time as well and although Wickham doesn't score enough but I think those two were fundamental to their success and they just don't have the depth of squad to cope.

I think that going for a beer with you and Bobby would be like having a weekend in Grimsby....jeeez

I'm quite the entertainer when drunk. The total opposite of what im like here.

Judging by Spizz's recent posts he spends every waking hour down the pub anyway.

Sandman you are soo wrong ...but any particular reason why?

[Winston Smith]

Wolves fans booing Van La Parra throughout last nights game and chanting 'we've only got 10 men'

Apperently he wrote on the internet 'One week they love you. Next week they hate you. Both weeks I got paid'

Blackpool vs Bradford yesterday ....

Music medley before kick off they played Billy Joel's "we didn't start the fire" - you really couldn't make it up!!

Another major trophy for City. Thanks but no thanks Pellegrini.

Yet another defeat for what my paper described as "under pressure" Alan Pardew.
Even Wickham scored on Saturday but they lost to a West Brom fielding almost the same side as rolled over against us.
The shame is you know that Palace will be up for it when they play us and everybody will be fit-if I could wish for 2 of theirs to be injured or suspended it would be Danns and Bolassie.
Will be watching their game v Liverpool next weekend with greater than normal interest.

Always accused of defending referees etc but I can't defend referee kettle at Wimbledon. Thing is he was no doubt technically correct but you just don't blow your whistle for half time as the bloke is about to shoot at goal. Created all that carnage by his own poor management.

A real Clive Thomas moment for those older heads on here!

Have to say that's one of those situations where I'd have liked to see someone actually chin the ref.

There would have been no sympathy for the ref if someone had. Some refs just don't help the cause of getting players to respect them

Yeah, I totally agree with that.

Timekeeping is the one thing the referee has total control with. It's actually one of the biggest cons in football. It is actually embarrassing that he is pointing to his watch at the point of them shooting. Anyone would think he might have had a draw / draw bet!!
