Has Di Michele got a Hitler tache?!

[stokeriño]

Don't...think so?

Yes, in a scale of 1 to 10, 32 is how ridiculous West Ham's attempts to cover up the XL logo are. The coloured patch that didn't match the actual colour of their shirts was better.

[-A-]

I know, why the fuck can't we just get blank shirts? Bizarre.

The commentators seemed to actually try and play the Boro penalty off as a legit penalty. Despite the fact Soccer Saturday, the BBC live text and pretty much everything else I read saying it was a very soft penalty, and with my Sunderland tinted glasses - I have to agree.

At least it's the player's number, rather than just the number '32' picked out of a tombola.

[King Ellis]

I swear, watching MotD it looked like he had one.

[stokeriño]

Could it have been a shadow protuding from an unfortunately large nose? >_>

[stokeriño]

Arrrgh everyone seems to think Chelsea will win. This in my mind makes us doomed to fail and now I'm really nervous about the match.

[stokeriño]

I came in here to post 1-0 to Villa, and before I had time to do so it was 2-0!

Edit: 2-1 - looking like a good game, this.

Deco injured in the warm up.

Fuck! He's captain of my dream team!

[IAceI]

ahahaha.. last 5 minutes; 90%-10% possession in favour of Chelsea. That's obscene.

[Clawson]

With a team of Robinho, Jo, SWP and the likes I can't help but have a laugh when I see Richard Dunne has scored a goal.

And I love how Cuntnaldo has been on for less than ten minutes and we get this report from the BBC Live Text:

1525: Mike Riley has proved to be something of a merry whistleblower (credit - Mike Stephenson) today. Ronaldo goes down after next to no contact with Lampard. Free-kick follows.

I thought Chelsea's obscene record was in danger then.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

I blame Assou-Ekotto for why we're bottom of the league. Why are we playing him exactly?

Glad to see O'Hara and Jenas playing though.

[9 to 5]

Not even a draw will take Spurs off bottom.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

...and not even a win will make me happy.

Amusingly if Man Utd had lost and Tottenham had won by a few we'd have gone above them.

Oh well, life goes on I'm sure, even if we're booing our team off.

[stokeriño]

...Did the Chelsea/United match actually end, or did everyone just go "fuck it" and walk off the pitch?

[AJ]

I think Rio Ferdinand decided it was over and Riley didn't dare disagree.

I didn't think for a second Utd would be able to hold onto the lead. Especially having had it so long. The equaliser was always gonna come. Rarely is a Ronaldo substitution a bad decision but as Gray kept pointing out over and over it left the right side of midfield wide open for Chelsea. Plus both Utd goalkeepers were rubbish today.
