Weekend football

[Newport]

Had a look at the remaining games right now. We can't afford to drop a single point, but I think that is positive because we almost always seem to perform under pressure. Villa is out of it in my opinion, but going past City and Spurs won't be easy, especially the latter one.

Aye. Its going to take a monumental effort although I think Spurs will lose more than 4 points - they have to play Chelsea, Arsenal, Scum and City.

 

But I think we will also lose some. Can't see us winning all 6.

[Mendoza]

Did i just hear that right- Tevez' daughter is called Floppy?

[BolshieBastard]

City have burnley next so they are likely to win that one too. We both have to play Birmingham but I think it'll be a tougher game for us since we cannot afford to lose.

 

I wouldnt put money on us finishing 4th to be honest.

[Guest PurpleNose]

Consolation for me tonight is I've just won my second acca of the weekend.

 

Had us, Real, Juve, Lille yesterday and City, Newcastle, Bilbao and Kaiserslautern tonight.

 

Havn't won one in fuckin ages either

 

I had that. £100 to win £450.

 

What were the odds with Kaiserslautern?

[dennis tooth]

Must say it's slightly worrying the manner that City won rather than the fact that they won, hope Tevez doesn't carry them over the line.

Didnt see the game but they struggled until Wigan went down to 10 men didnt they?

 

Still its 3 points when we could have done with them getting 1 at most.

Not great odds mate, won about 38quid off a 5er.

Wise up lads fourth is out of the question. lets be honest we dont even deserve it.

We do if thats where we finish.

[Anny Road]

City still have

Utd

Arse

Spurs and Villa to play

 

Could go any way those games.

[Whelan]

It's not beyond the realms of possibilities that we can finish fourth by three or four points!

 

I'd much rather win the Europa and finish fifth than, fourth and nothing. Actually I would much rather win the Europa and finish fourth!, but I can see what Betterthanaverageman is saying, we should not be fighting out for fourth place and in that sense we don't deserve it, simply cos we only want the money.

[mattyq]

That's bollocks. I know what you're saying in that we've been mostly crap this season but if we finish 4th then we'll deserve to have finished 4th. Likewise 5th or 6th.

The table after 38 games does not lie

Me too. I think we're possibly in a minority though.

[Byrnie]

Me too. I think we're possibly in a minority though.

 

I'm also in your minority, a trophy should always be more important than 4th. It's just that the way football is, it's perceived that being in the Champions League is regarded as being more important than winning a League Cup, FA Cup or Europa League.

 

Sad testament of how football has changed.

[Randy Marsh]

Little double on 2 draws tonight in the CL

[WaltonRed]

Saturday won £29

Sunday won £19 on 5 wins and £16 on 3 draws (it had Chievo in it who are rigging draws at the mo)

Last night had a pound on Tevez and 3-0 = £23

 

So for about £11 outlay i picked up all in £87.

[Dan Vito Corleone]

West Ham just gone 1-0 up on Sunderland. Hull 1-1 with Burnley. Drags Wigan and Bolton and probably even Wolves back into the mixer.

[Liverpool lad]

I will laugh my cock off if Wolves go down

[Dan Vito Corleone]

They play Stoke tomorrow. It's entirely winnable because as tough as Stoke are to play against, Wolves will be relatively well equipped. A draw I reckon. Personally I think one more win will be enough for Bolton and Wolves. Depends how results go though - Bolton away to Chelsea on Tuesday, Wigan at home to Portsmouth.

[Newport]

For those of you interested there are several big games besides Real v Barca tonight. Sami and Leverkusen play Bayern ïn about an hour and there is a possible key game concerning the title between Fiorentina and Inter

[Dan Vito Corleone]

Bloody hell, Burnley have gone 3-1 up at Hull.

[Liverpool lad]

I hope they get Phil Brown on to sing when they go down, I cannot wait for that away game.

[Dan Vito Corleone]

It makes the table look strange because it gives Burnley some hope yet the gap has widened from 2 points to 4. Unless West Ham don't beat Sunderland. Interesting battle this year.

[Manny]

Portsmouth relegated if things stay the same. As things stand, I can't see the bottom 3 changing.
