Got to be kidding. Losing 2 points in yet another match we should have won. God I hate Ashley Young.

did Pip almost just score? or am i dreaming?

FUCK!!!! ASHLEY YOUNG IS A TWAT.

studs down in the balls. fuck that. red card.

TIMMY BABY!!!!! I love that man!

FFS. we just can't keep it clean against these lot.

why does the anouncer keep calling Jagielka "yagielka?"

TIMMY!!!

Arteta without a doubt. Although I suspect by next year I might be making a case for Fellaini.

You working for Moyes? I think we need to pick up someone from a second-tier European league. Make sure they're clumsy and/or tired that way we'll have our summer 2011 signings sorted.

Youngster: Fellaini New and Improved: Ossie Admin: Bill Poster: Memmaclub or Milky. It's hilarious how wrong they are...always. Thread: The one about the facial hair for sure. Hilarious stuff.

Well, the draws may have been disappointing, but we are also the only club other than Arsenal unbeaten in the last 6. Maybe it wasn't our best month ever, but Moysie did pretty darn well.

Not so sure about this one now. European qualification is all Villa have left to play for after bombing out of the FA Cup. Hopefully their squad doesn't respond to bitter disappointment like ours does and we come away with a win, but I'm not terrible confident. Here's hoping Mikky makes a start.

Doesn't make sense to me why Moyes won't give Seamus a good run of games. I mean, it's odd that Moyes will rely on 19 y.o. Rodwell in midfield, and 21 y.o. Fellaini and turn around and say that 22 y.o. Seamus Coleman is too young...rubbish if you ask me. Keep him at Blackpool for the remainder of this season and even next if Moyes won't give him a shout.

would love to see Coleman stay and get Blackpool promoted. Our season is all but over now...I still think we'll finish 7th, mostly because I think we'll beat Villa and they'll stumble in one of their run-in games. Can't see us catching the RS because their run-in is, on paper, just as easy as ours. Coleman should come back for next year and be given his chance.

Seeing as this is a "big game" compared to the last two I think we'll see a fantastic performance from our squad. Not a single person here honestly expected to take points from either Manure or Chelski...it seems the big games bring out the best in our squad. I think everyone will put in a shift at we'll take it 2-0.

this^ too bad the Barcelona-Arsenal fixture had to come in the quarterfinals. That would have been a dream of a final.

I know we need him, but I think, if the best for Blackpool happens and they win the play-off it might be a great move both for Seamie and Moyes' confidence in him, to arrange a half season loan (August-December). Could be great for all parties involved as he'd quite likely be starting week-in and week-out.

Even without Mikky our squad is worlds better than these lot. The real question is which side of our squad shows up. I'm pulling for a comfortable win and another clean sheet. 3-0.

Looking to be a good move for Seamie. Hopefully he comes back to Goodison with a legitimate shot at starting.

I care about the MLS. Not that I watch it with any vested interest (well not until the Timbers take flight next year!) The MLS is crucial in developing a better national team. And besides, the play is getting better each season (albeit still of Championship quality.)

^^This + Donovan.

I think there is a difference between a selling club and a club that sells. Semantics, I know, but bear with me a moment as I think the article has made a very valid point. Prior to Moyes and even until the last two years, we were most definitely a selling club. We sold because we produced/found players of too high calibre to play for a mid-table/relegation battling club. Our sales were largely coerced by necessity (financial survival) or by the wage demands of the player. (Rooney being example #1). Now, I believe, we have moved from being a selling club from which the big teams find new talent, to a club that sells. Let me give some idea to what that means for me. A club that sells is a smartly run club (and in our case out of financial necessity). A club that sells may, from time to time, choose to sell its prize (or one of it's prized) asset(s) in order to fund/make room for what the club sees as a net gain. For me the Lescott saga was and is a perfect example of this. Yes Lescott wanted to move for higher wages and yes Citeh's money was ridiculous, but could we have kept hold of Lescott and benched him til he changed his mind? Sure. We sold Lescott because we wanted to better our squad. The 3 players we bought with the Lescott sale are evidence that we benefited more (in pure football terms) from his departure than had he remained. I think this is what the author of the article is trying to get at...and for me the way all clubs should be run. There are not an infinite number of quality footballers and even less positions on the first squad, so logically some players (even good ones) need to be sold to make room for changes and improvements. All clubs sell, but some choose to while others are coerced.

that bluemoon lot are a bunch of wankers. here's to spuds getting 4th and Citeh's finances disappearing faster than a jelly roll and a weight-watchers convention.

why isn't messi an option?
