Newcastle were going down until the penultimate game. Then in my fantasy world Man Utd got to the Champions League final and fielded their reserve team on the 24th because of this, allowing Hull to lead from about 4 minutes into the game and all the Hull fans are singing and shit but then Michael Owen pops up with a last minute goal in the Newcastle game! I have no idea why some of the teams are on 37 games but it doesn't change much. Chelsea and Wigan up a place if they won but I was only doing this to see who went down. Surprised I had Pompey finish 14th because they lost nearly every game

So Giovanni Dos Santos has moved to Ipswich.

That...came out of nowhere?

[alldaws1]

Not really. Spurs are on a loaning spree with some fringe players. Gunter to Forest, Dos Santos to Ipswich and Taarabt to QPR. Plus we were prepared to let Dos Santos go to Pompey in January but they backed out.

[The Future]

True but just a while back he was being hailed as the next big thing in Football and now he's playing for Ipswich.

[Turbo Yannis]

Christ, Barca to Ipswich. That's a bit of a shitter.

[-A-]

Apparently the guy loves partying more than football and that's why Barcelona let him go so cheaply. Really can't see why he hasn't even got more opportunities at Spurs, even under Ramos. Can easily see how he's not a Redknapp player, but I thought that, all things being equal, he'd get chances under Ramos.

[Zaz]

So much for a lack of depth at Spurs.

[therockbox]

Alonso's out injured.

For fucks sake.

[The Future]

Anderson and Tevez are both starting, I am not sure about dropping Fletcher he's been great this season but Anderson is quality as well.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Nice to hear Tevez is getting a start.

I was confident we'd beat them in the run up to this, I think it could be closer than I thought. I cant see them ever winning today, here's hoping I'm not wrong. I decided to have a little bet on United to win 2-1, let's all hope for that scoreline

[IAceI]

Andy Gray with a correct opinion without consulting his 97 replays first?

Unbelievable

[therockbox]

Self destruction at Old Trafford once again.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Oh for fuck sake Vidic. So simple yet he has to fuck around with it.

[Summers]

Not often are games between 'big 4' sides this exciting.

[Pesci]

I'm missing the most entertaining game ever by the sounds of things. Why does my internet have to be so fucked up during this game :@

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Great, more pathetic defending. Let's just let them win this game shall we?

[Hobo]

Fuck me... That half took a lot out of me.

[Shelty92]

Great, more pathetic defending. Let's just let them win this game shall we?

Yea, we've sucked thus far, but I hope Sir Alex can get us back on track during the break. It's amazing that a quality player like Vidic made such a horrible mistake, but then again, we all make mistakes sometimes - it's a crying shame that that mistake had to happen during the worst possible moment. Same goes with Evra, it's not common to see him so sloppy.

Ah well, here's hoping that Rooney and Tevez will step up in the second half. Oh, and Vidic and Evra, too.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Really good first half, just a let down for me as to how poor United have been in defence. After a season of amazing defending, it's like they just threw it all out the window in 45 minutes. Cant believe we're behind, that's football though. Torres is looking really dangerous and can easily score another if United don't get their fucking act together in the second half. I'm hyped for the second half now.

[Summers]

lol @ Vidic
