As delayed ripostes go this takes some beating. Give me a month or so and I shall come back with "Your mum."

Hodgson's a dud - so he'll end up at ManU. BFS will be available to Spurs to make use of Adebayor's aerial qualities and Moyes will probably be too shell shocked to do anything useful or creative for a while so will probably go to Newcastle and Pardew will return to Upton Park to annoy Arsene - who will see that as the final straw and will 'retire' to PSG. Simple.

Both teams have tricky away fixtures against a resurgent Palace who can now play with total freedom - gonna pop down Otta?

My rich neighbours (no, not the horse owners) have two! 'His' and 'H.....

True. Have been stuck with a shabby rental-donkey for ages; I'd move to a cheaper area but they're all full of shifty-looking drug mules.

Allardyce claimed the boos were understandable because "no one likes losing" - like it was all down to missed chances and bad luck on the day, that it was the result that made fans unhappy - They booed you when you won too you two-faced hypocritical swivel-eyed git. They booed because first it was Stoke handing out a beating while playing more attractive football, then their former manager doing it with Palace. As for Hansen and Shearer on MOTD with their "What is the West Ham Way anyway?" and "Sam's safe" - perfect examples of smug out-of-touch tossers who earn their living from the game and have absolutley no idea what it's like to be a fan.

If they weren't paid so much you'd think ManC & Chelski were taking bungs or the Mackems were doped - weirdly I think this puts a little bit more pressure on Liverpool now. They can only blow it.

Yep, tightrope footy Quids. Bizarre and very uncomfortable feeling of wanting just so much and no more. Though I can't see any of the bottom three winning on Saturday and after that a few of them play each other so I think a scrape-through is still the most likely outcome. Gold & Sullivan are businessmen who are looking at 'customer shrinkage', depends what it'll cost to say ta-ta and if it's still 5m that may be too steep. In dreamland, Laudrup's still available (but eyeing Barca) and other managers (ahem) may be free in the summer.

Crazy results tonight - looks like the Liverpool Chelsea game might now decide it, and Wenger may be on course to deliver the Gooners best season for years with top 4 AND a cup final. Football eh?

Underdog my paw! A quick look (okay a work-avoiding few minutes) shows EP knocked me out last year after a quarter-final replay and I lost to AM in the CL final - league-schmeague - 2 cup finals in 2 years (and I think I'm up against another Hammer in the CL semis?) that's my proud record :) COYI

It's just him, the whole package, the way he has conducted himself and the sh*t he has come out with over the years - can't be specific he just gets up my fricking nose. Agreed he is not in same league as Terry and I wasn't making a comparison so much as giving reasons for a 'fantasy footy finish'. I probably dislike him like I dislike Lampard - that still puts them both a league or two above the Terry level.

Is all nibbling abhorrent or just full-blown gutsing on a hot steaming portion of whiffy nosh and/or anything with onions/garlic? Or is this a mis-spelling combined with awkward grammar and you simply mean chicken?

Surprised this wasn't sorted when the job was being discussed - no builder I have met would have begun a job without the tea 'n toilet question being discussed - maybe a polite call/text with a simple "Okay if we help ourselves to tea and use your Andrex if we promise no skidmarks down the bowl?"

Rumour has it a new, and far more shaming, page is under construction- "Men Who Read The Mail on the Tube and Leave it There, Taking Their Broadsheet to the Office." This is to be the sister page of- "Guardian Readers Who Secretly Leaf Through The Sun At The Supermarket Newspaper Stand While Their Other Half Is Finding The Brioche"

Woudn't mind a Liverpool win - without Gerrard (can't help it - just hate the fecker) Ditto Chelsea without Lampard and Terry (double, double ditto) In wish-terms I'd prefer a total collapse at the top and Everton to nick it.
