Ollie

No wild card, i used that about 30 game weeks ago.... just sacrificed 8 points lol. Not doing too badly so far. Still many games left.

i'm gonna nominate Stingray, he just seems to have been a very busy person here lately, especially last month. I got my 1 and only win days after we were crowned Champions of Europe, i'm sweet.

Ok fuckers after neglecting this for a bit, i've gone all out. Double game week mayhem whoop! That could get messy tbh but all fun.

Cheers from everyone else.

Surely you don't get paid off if you're sacked, still wouldn't surprise me with football. Anyway i wrote that a while ago, he's not been that bad lately, especially in the Europa League. Anyway i just think it would be funny to see someone get sacked for being shit, i wasn't really being that serious.

He doesn't do enough for me. Good on the ball and great passer but he hardly drives the team on when they're in need. Plus i don't want another Liverpool hero signing, please do not let this happen.

I think we'll get something out of this. The Tottenham game is the big one unless of course Southampton win at Yid Lane which is possible tbh. It's gonna go down to the wire i think. Mad season.

Hazard vs Man Utd and even Mata vs Newcastle ... how are they not there and Ivanovic's against Wigan is? But fuck me i think David Luiz just fucked that list up today anyway lol. We've scored some absolute beauts this season.

Was fearing the worst at H/T but getting those 2 lucky goals in quick succession deflated Basel i think and wow from Luiz, that's our goal of the season by far and again in a European Semi Final . Just relieved after that win, it hardly compares to Barca a year ago but it's still nice to keep our name on the map after that UCL elimination. Benfica will be a tough game, i was hoping for Fenerbahce but should be a cracker of a game. Hope there's a strong referee like we had today. We know what Benfica are like. Hope it doesn't go to pens. Hope we play with all our ability. Hope we win and complete the Euro set.

This is gonna be a very tough game. Could go either way tbh they're in great form and can play great football at times but i do think we're the better team if everyone plays to full capabilities. They owe us a bit after least year.

If out big guns play more than 60 mins, we can write off Sundays match n focus on Tottenham.

If we play our full team it will be bad for Basel on the counter attack as they'll probably be very open. There will be a lot of goals in this game i think. 4-2 . Lampard will break Bobby's record i think tomorrow. Tomorrow is the day.

I'd rather get knocked out the group stage than get humiliated 7-0 in a Semi Final ta very much.

If he doesn't come now after all that's been said this week on top of everything else... i really will cry.

We beat them with Kalou, Malouda (came on), Torres (came on), Bertrand and Bosingwa. No offence to Bertrand but he's young, first ever UCL match, he's certainly. And Cahill, very inexperienced in the big european games just signed from Bolton a few months earlier with him pairing Luiz who were both injured. They can moan all they want but they failed to beat a Chelsea reserve team at home in a UCL final. I'd love to get them in the super cup and beat them again. We all know Pep can't beat Chelsea.

Impressed me a lot yesterday. Probably the only player from them who actually looked bothered and he looked really strong and solid. I wouldn't mind him. Spanish, next to Azpi with lots of fellow Spanish peeps. Why not.

Poor Charlie Austin. He didn't even get in the Championship team of the year. Oh dear.

Can't believe the amount of people and threads that think we're already in the final. This lot are dangerous, if we're complacent, we're in trouble. They always play with such freedom away from home, i'll be happy if we go 3-0 up.

Right, so we lose the Youth Cup final 1st leg so i just over to the Villa game and see 5-1! I couldn't believe that at all, such a shocking score. 6-1... are they gonna try n talk to Di Canio? That could be interesting. I know a lot of differing emotions were going on from various people when PDC got the job but i felt sorry for the interviewers the most, they must've just thought "Oh god no". EDIT: Just seen the red card. WTF!? How the hell can that be a red card? He's not that high and he's clearly not trying to hurt the opponent AND he was close to the ball, AND he didn't even go in hard or aggressively. Horrible decision. Football is really messed up right now, good tackles are fouls, fouls are yellow cards and yellow cards are red cards. Bad days for REAL football. Football as we know it as a contact sport is dead, well and truly fucking over. Anyway, it looks that it is finally goodbye to Rugby boys Wigan. Yeah they have a game in hand, whoopdy fucking doo it's away at Arsenal. Just like Middlesbrough in 1997, it looks like a team will get to the FA Cup final and get relegated. A bit like Birmingham too from 2010 although THAT final was epic. Obafemi Martins will always have a special place in my heart (Not just that goal, but what he did to Arsenal in 2004 for Inter too )

There's no doubt these lads have a lot of quality and are better than Norwich, some of the football was outstanding but they just seem a little big headed and over confident. I don't like Loftus-Cheek much, he didn't do anything good today at all nor in other games i've seen. His passing was wasteful, his dribbles got nowhere and that chance he mis-controlled at the end just summed his evenings work up. We need to stop pissing about and be more professional and maybe show a bit more respect. That last minute goal was a kick up the arse and a good thing for the 2nd leg. We'll turn it around i'm sure quite comfortably if we play properly.

We wont get any but i'd love to see Modric with Hazard and Mata. And maybe Fabio Coentrao as Ash won't last forever. I'm going on possibilities. Verane, Khedira and Ozil i just cannot see happening. Benzema is awful now, Alonso is another ex scouse, no thanks. Modric is premiership proven and Coentrao is 2nd choice largely behind Marcelo.

I'm confident because they have to score two. I reckon we'll probably score a couple too tbh but i'm still nervous because it's a euro semi final and they're big occasions. We've messed up so many tournament later stages this season, we must win this one.

Just as i said he'd win both. It is crap though that he can win both, they have to do something to stop that because it looks bad for everyone else. It's too obvious that if you're player of the year and young enough, you're bound to win the young one too, it's rubbish. Should be for U21's the young one.

So basically Barcelona drew 2-2. And for my next bet i will simply do Man Utd to beat Chelsea, Arsenal to beat QPR and Tottenham to beat Southampton. And btw in the end i DIDN'T put a tenner on Arsenal to win today so saved that.

To be fair, he did love our club to bits and put in some very impressive shifts against Barcelona, especially in that backs-to-the-wall performance in the nou camp last season. Although he was completely useless for the majority and not very brave, he was ok in his first season before his lengthy lay off. I love reading the first pages of these threads.
