Heh – I've just taken a look at those little kit chappies, I love stuff like that. No English version that I can see, though – boo!
Surely with a little PhotoShop you can make a Hull version.
Lucas for Alonso = Man Utd win.
What can I say, I'm lazy.
Besides, I don't want my Jaffatar getting jealous...
Anyway, I'm setting off to the match in ten minutes. Well, to the pub beforehand but you know what I mean. Newcastle have been bigging this game up as being a 'cup final' for them, so hopefully we can send them packing with their tails between their legs.
Dundee is pretty close
vs. 
Good luck. Routing for a Hull win.
Boy did I get that wrong. Liverpool dominated the entire game. When Man Utd had a decent spell of possession nothing much came of it.
Second time Vidic has been sent off this season against Liverpool.
Dossena finding his position in the premier league? Hopefully so.

By the way Fuzzy, I'm liking the 'tar.
I like that little guy as well. he'd be a good emoticon.
And him too...

It's good to see Arsenal handle their business against an inferior opponent like they should. 4-0 over Blackburn is about right. Nice to see Arshavin and Eboue get a couple as well.
Arshavin's first was an own goal according to the reports I read. Also he was wearing gloves? It is a lovely day in London today (well at least 17 miles out of it where I am) and no one needed gloves let alone someone from Russian.
So, a draw. Does Newcastle's cup final go to extra time or a replay?
From what I hear it sounds like you did well to come away with a draw, is this fair?
Fulham over the past season or so are becoming a team I am following, not that I actually like Johnson, and it is good to see what Hodgson has done there.
We were all over them for the first half hour or so but then it all petered out a bit. Really, we should have won - Newcastle were comically poor for spells. Ah well, it's another point in the right direction.
On the subject of gloves, we had a glove-wearer on the pitch today too. Bernard Mendy was sporting a pair of woolen black and amber gloves - the sort you can buy from the club shop for £3.99 - but we'll excuse him this on the grounds that he's quite, quite mad.

Unfortunately not. We had it pencilled in, but it been moved to the Sunday lunchtime caused us a few problems.
It is on the telly though, so at least we can watch the boys put five past you and we can see how you like it.
It's such an improvement over Sanchez, especially the defense.
Arshavin's goal was an own goal. I was switching between the Arsenal game and the Sunderland v Wigan game. BTW I know that Wigan's support isn't very good, but I could count the number of supporters on two hands who made the trip.

I week or so ago I'd have said that was possible, but we seemed to have found our form again today so I fancy our chances next weekend. It's not on TB here (at least not on the channels I get) so I'll be glued to the BBC website for text updates.
This season has been a huge improvement and they have almost under the radar worked their way into a good position.
Talking about bad support. Throughout the Man Utd - Liverpool game you could almost constantly hear the Liverpool fans and towards the end the amount of red seats around the stadium was quite shocking really.
Well, isn't it a long trip back to London for those fans?
Looks like mid table is what Fulham will achieve, which is about as good as it will get.
There was obviously very little to cheer about for Man Utd supporters today. I had a feeling they wouldn't win today judging by the Champions League performances of both teams last week, but I didn't quite expect the beatdown that Liverpool administered today.
The race is still on...
I'm not sure if the race is still on or not, to be honest. United are overwhelming favorites. If we can get three points from Villa next Sunday then I think we stand a small chance as United will still have Villa, Chelsea, Arsenal, the Derby with City and Spurs to come. Liverpool will have just Arsenal and Spurs. Add to that the tricky away ties at boro', Fulham (who have taken loads of points off top team this year) and Sunderland (shut up shot), then there is some hope that we might be able to do something. It it firmly in their hands, though.

Well it's a bit late in the season but I've set up a Macrumors league, details below for whoever wants to join. I've got quite a lead!
Managed to watch Hib v Hearts today (ended 1-0), very enjoyable. Sending offs, fights. Very much like the Old Firm, talking of which looking forward to tomorrows final.

i'm in!
Holy ****!
I've been on the road all day, and after 800 miles of driving, I logged on to the BBC with real fear for the result...but this is a shocking turn of events! I would never have predicted that scoreline (going either way) in a hundred years! 4 goals for Liverpool, Vidic sent off again, a penalty given against United at Old Trafford...is this some sort of early April Fools prank?
With that said, it's still effectively a seven point gap in the league, and United will come back strong. But even if we don't win anything this season we've done well, completing the double over Chelsea and Man Utd. That's no small achievement (and it makes all those draws at Anfield even more vexing).
And we are still well poised in the Champions League. United still have to be considered the favorites...but it's looking increasingly like Liverpool and Man Utd will meet again, in Europe. Should be good!
The pundits say the referee did well - your thoughts? based on the match report he was kept busy...

Come on gang join up!!
While there were two penalties and a sending off the ref was not the focus of the game or indeed the after match analysis. He did a stunning job and got pretty much everything right in my opinion.
