Echo what TC has said above me really. I'd rather Arsenal went through in their group than Schalke. Germany is catching up to la liga and premier league so the better the premier league teams do the better, Just look at Serie A.

Diouf has played for some horrid clubs, Rangers, Liverpool, Leeds... he's probably been to court less times than Gerrard though...

Yes, average footballers don't tend to be 9th in the all time premier league top scorers list, with being a least second by time his career ends being very likely.

Absolutely the most stupid thing I've read on any forum ever.

Glad we're not playing until Sunday now.

At least Suarez carried on Liverpools current streak in the international break. Argentina 4-0 Uruguay Bolivia 4-1 Uruguay

Thank fuck proper football is a back at the weekend. Though I think we might screw up at QPR.

"The penalty decision swung the game in their favour and I feel awful about that. I think there might have been a bit of contact, to be fair to Bale. "It wasn't a challenge as such, he just ran across me and part of his legs touched mine. I don't think he dived. It was just a coming together. "I haven't seen it again but I have to be honest - my gut feeling was that he didn't dive. I'm pretty sure I didn't put a challenge in but I think there was some contact. - Shaun Maloney, Wigan Athletic and Scotland. Need more be said?

Yes but none of them are harmful. It's not in my opinion. You can't tell me that going at full speed running into the box with the ball he thinks "oh I'll kick my leg now", I'm sorry that's bullshit and he's done it by accident. I'm not denying that, he's been diving for about 2 years but that wasn't one. Read the post you quoted.

I don't see that as a dive, it's not a penalty but he's tripped himself over. he hasn't deliberately gone down knowing what he's doing. Scotland and Wales were never going to get out of that group anyway.

MIRALLAS!

Rooney only got booked once last season and it came on the last day. he doesn't have much of a temper anymore.

Only? that's not bad for an away ground.

Ah yes I forgot Vellios' goal 2002-03 was when I started watching Everton properly so that why I think you used to beat us as the results at that time... 21.04.2003 Chelsea 4-1 Everton 07.12.2002 Everton 1-3 Chelsea 06.04.2002 Chelsea 3-0 Everton 3-1 game sticks in my head

We used to get steamrolled by you in the early 00's IIRC? AVB smashed us 3-0 last year too.

To be fair it would have went to penalties if we wouldn't have ended up with ten men. I think we'll do okay against your lot though this season.

International teams are seen as more important than club teams. Not by the public of course (especially those who are England fans) but in he footballing grand scheme of things it is.I'm sure there is many players who see playing for their country more important too so it'll never be any different.

Cabaye went down like a sack of shit. Not for the first time either.

Just a joke, I did smash you by a massive 8 points this week though so don't be getting too sad

I can see you losing one of them just based on law of averages really. It's unlikely you'll go nine games unbeaten. Will be rooting for you none the less though.

London derby? you don't see them a lot this season

or Everton

no surprise there then. We did get fucked over by Kevin Friend today though Wigan did play well in the first half.

Kevin Friend is a fucking wanker.

Don't lie, I ruffled your pretty little feathers...
