    On the basis that kick off is 2.00am Thailand time on Tuesday morning, I doubt it!!

    WELL, MOTD should be a cracker, unless Liverpool lose against Norwich which means I shall not be watching. :laugh:

    Yeah it's on at 2am Richard but I'm sure the Karaoke bars would stick it on, basically anywhere that's open with True will show it.

    Wow great goal. Hitting form ready for the FA Cup Final me thinks.

    Spurs 2-0 Blackburn R

    We thrashed them erm 2-0.

    Okay, we won and we won comfortably, but for me that sums up where we've been going wrong all season. Something like 70% possession, 30 goal attempts to 0, yet until the last 15 minutes we're only 1 up and we win by 2 goals instead of 5 or 6.

    Having said that, we now have to play Bolton and Aston Villa away, then Fulham at home. Chelsea have to play Newcastle and Liverpool, Newcastle have to play Chelsea, Man City and Everton.

    We're still favourites for 4th and in with a faint shout for 3rd.

    Come again (pardon the expression) - are you getting excited?

    Winning is the business and winning is the aim, but as you state, it was hardly with conviction. Compare that with our result today- not least because QPR beat you! :mrgreen:

    Whereas, we had a stroll, albeit on the back of the FA cup semi-final against Spurs, which we won 2-1, Barca, won 1-0, Arsenal away, drew 0-0, Barca away, drew 2-2 and today.

    Hmmmm?

    Yeah, true. After you hammered Barca home and away, why would you need to worry about Newcastle and Liverpool? Good thinking, hope it catches on! :laugh: :laugh:

    I raised an eyebrow when I saw Pardew saying Newcastle were aiming for 3rd - "how to spoil a good run"!!

    There are 4 teams out there - Arsenal, Spurs, Newcastle, Chelsea - with all to play for.

    West Bromwich Albion have given the FA permission to speak to Roy Hodgson about the England job. :lach:

    Revolutionary by the FA, really modern forward thinking. Enjoy Euro 2012 guys! :cheers:

    What will be will be.

    My wishes for a happy end of season:

    1. Spurs win last 3 games with big wins (Highly unlikely)
    2. Arsenal lose (high scoring loss) or draw a game (Highly unlikely)
    3. Chelsea finish (5th or 6th unsure)
    4. Chelsea get thrashed in CL final (Likely)
    5. Chelsea win F.A Cup. Torres scores hatrick, Suerez and Terry are sent off :D (unsure)
    6. Man City win PL with Tevez the hero (Touch and go)
    7. Harry Rednapp get's England job and f*cks up :D (Unlikely)
    8. Wigan stay in PL (Likely)
    9. Notts County reach the play offs and get promoted (unlikely)

    Just out of curiosity Jimmy. Why the hell would you wish for anyone to f*ck up the England job? Weird.

    Weird, why weird when you don't support England.
