Sad that Blackpool will probably go down; they've been the most entertaining side in the Premier League this season. Sorry to see West Ham go too - if they get in Martin O'Neill they'll come straight back up though.

The only bad thing about Spammers going down is that Spurs will miss out on a 6 million fee for Robbie Keane. Can't stand the club. The fans are shit heads and it's hilarious that they now have their own Jewish element within the club. The owners are muppets. I can't see Martin O'Neill going anywhere near West Ham. I don't like West Ham lolPatrick Bateman wrote:Sad that Blackpool will probably go down; they've been the most entertaining side in the Premier League this season.

Blackpool have been a breath of fresh air. Their only saving grace is if Manure put out a crap side.

I've always liked them. They played decent football when I was growing up, and the 1981 League Cup Final is still the first big game I have a conscious memory of. Amazing to think that they came third in the mid-80s with McAvennie and Cottee banging in the goals. I always go on about this but I do find modern football extremely boring most of the time. United win the title (again) and I struggle to recall many decent games they were involved in this season - the Blackpool one was probably the best, and that's mainly down to the Seasiders.

I agree with that. West Ham have always been enjoyable to watch. Off the pitch, is another story. West Ham v Millwall next year.

Yesterday was typical - 1-0 down till they got a dodgy penalty and then both sides played out time. Dullsville. Still it'll keep their 'fanbase' happy; they can all go into work and say how amazing 'they' are even though the nearest they've been to Manchester is watching the Coronation Street omnibus. Oh for the days of the likes of West Ham challenging for the title.
Agree with the entertainment bit as well. I've always said i'd sooner be entertained and perhaps not win a lot, than be a bankrolled club that spend millions and bore you to death.

Goals Galore at Betfred is a good coupon. All you need to do is pick a match where you think both teams will score.

...or you might be talking shit. Look what it says on the back of his shirt in this clip. My wife is Mexican and I know plenty of Mexicans and let me assure you that they all call him Chicharito and were doing so before he moved to Old Trafford. I'm sure he was officially known as Javier Hernandez but everyone called him Chicharito and it even said it on his shirt.Danny C wrote: Nani has always been known as Nani throught his professional career. "Chicharito" was plain Hernandez all the way up until he moved to England, then he fancied being known by his nickname, which he'd never ever used before.

It had Hernandez on his shirt in the 2010 World Cup.

My goodness, I am getting worse and worse at constructing coherent sentences. That was terribly written.

Wigan-West Ham was the match of the season. Unbelievable.

First decision we have ever had off him and it looked a pen anyway. He should have sent Suarez off twice as well. Kicking out because Dawson had him in his pocket and diving all over the place. Maxi was another cheating. I doubt Dalglish will stand for any of that bullshit at Liverpool. One thing Liverpool's teams have never seemed to do, is dive all over.Danny C wrote:It had Hernandez on his shirt in the 2010 World Cup.

Spurs different class today. That was Ledley King's first game in 7 months! He was awesome.

I've had a few up. Got £1,990 back one week. Did it online and meant to pick 10 but forgot to put Palace on it. They lost 1-0 and didn't realise i'd won until a week later. That was my luck over with. I didn't get a bet up for about 4 months.One of the crowd wrote:Done that most of the season, always one club lets you down.Undertaker wrote:Goals Galore at Betfred is a good coupon.

Had Wigan 3-2 and MK dons 3-2 up today but had the same score in Arsenal, Celtic and Rangers' game. Also had 2-3 as well. You get good prices on Betfair for correct scores.
