I caught half of it last week and it was really cringeworthy. Anyway, you'll see for yourself. Arsenal 3 Chelsea 2 Everton 2 Southampton 1 Fulham 1 Man City 2 Norwich 1 Liverpool 2 Reading 0 Newcastle 2 Stoke 2 Swansea 2 Sunderland 2 Wigan 1 Man Utd 2 Tottenham 1 (We never get fuck all at Old Trafford apart from disallowed goals and poor refereering decisions going against us so suspect they'll be no change there). Aston Villa 1 West Brom 2 QPR 1 West Ham 1

Always have a piss just before you leave the pub. You don't want to get caught short on the way home.

Rio Ferdinand's not getting any younger and can barely string half a dozen games together before he's out injured again. The little niggles are getting harder to shake off as he gets older. Certainly, if he can retain his fitness and play well regularly then he's worth having a look at just for his vast experience alone, he's still better than most when fully fit but there is plenty of young talent out there at centre back and I think England will cope well without having to rely on John Terry who, and let's be fair has served England well over the years and put in some great performances but with younger players like Phil Jagielka, Gary Cahill, Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Michael Dawson and Steven Caulker ready to make the step up the only problem I see with some of those players is whether they are playing regularly enough for their clubs.

Maybe he wants to spend more time with his team-mates' wives.

I was at White Hart Lane last night. In what was a very entertaining game that was let down by a very poor Romanian referee. Lazio players constantly got away with niggling fouls on Lennon, Bale and Defoe and we had two legitimate goals ruled out. On top of that Lazio fans were clearly heard from where I was sitting giving a few of our black players monkey chants in the second half. I hope UEFA have taken note and do something about it though I suspect they won't. There was also bit of naughtyness down the Tottenham High Road after the game between rival fans. I think it could be a lot worse in Rome.

Exactly Otta. Cracking game though.

Goodbye from East Dulwich.

I agree with PD. Get rid of the handshake at the beginning. It's so contrived. It never used to happen. If you feel like shaking the hand of your opponent at the end of the match then feel free to do so but you shouldn't be forced to do it at the beginning of a game.

Just finished Ford Maddox Ford's tetralogy Parade's End. Much better than the TV series that is currently showing on a Friday night, though I have been enjoying that too.

The modern day footballer usually drives around in a Baby Bentley or some sort of Chelsea Tractor but that looks like a small bubblecar. Can't be paying them to well at Upton Park.

Wouldn't surprise me. We're that shit at the moment.

I'm inclined to agree with you Otta. He's been unlucky with injuries and with the choices Alex Ferguson had up front it was at the best of times tough for him to get any minutes on the pitch. I think he'll get more games at Stoke and if he gets the service he'll score goals, no doubt about it. He could benefit by playing with Crouch up front and feeding off him. Just hope he stays fit.

Kelvin MacKenzie is a loathsome piece of vermin. I hope there will be closure for all those who lost friends and family. Justice for the 96. Don't buy The Sun.

Fucking cunt.

I thought it was a very good England performance. Normally, I find watching England so frustrating but we set our stall out early, passed the ball around well and scored five goals. I know it was only Moldova but games like this have proved to be banana skins in the past. Good performances from the likes of Lampard, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Cleverley but the player who impressed me most was James Milner. I thought he was immense last night. Worked his socks off and got the goal his performance deserved.

Yeah! Cracking game that. His finest moment in a Spurs shirt. Done just about feck-all since and we still can't get him off our books.

Good grief! Floyd snobs.

Not sure about that Otta but at nearly 38 his best days are far behind him. Could have been a good short term deal to help pass on his experience to the younger players but other than that maybe he's just looking for a last good payday before retirement. Class player though when he was in his prime.

Err.... you watch it.

Hmmmm...Paris St Germain and Man City are probably the only two clubs (bar maybe Russian or Chinese) that could afford him. Why leave Real Madrid though? Maybe Mourinho doesn't polish his ego enough as he's too busy shining his own.

No. The window's shut until January. He's been throwing his toys out of his pram and spitting out his dummy again. Sulking because he wants a pay rise because he feels he's played really well and scored lots of goals since he arrived from Man Utd. That's what they bought and paid you to do. It must be really tough on 300k a week.

Rodgers is already on record as saying he would never have let Andy Carroll go if he'd known they couldn't sign a replacement. He thought Dempsey was a done deal but Spurs nipped in with a better off for Fulham that was accepted. From The Sporting Life website: - It has left Liverpool chronically short of strikers. Rodgers did not have an orthodox forward on the bench for Sunday afternoon's 2-0 home defeat by Arsenal and is now left to consider moves for the likes of Michael Owen, who is out of contract, and Didier Drogba, whose contract situation at Shanghai Shenhua could allow him to sign for another club. "No," said Rodgers when asked whether he would have let Carroll leave, then "very" when quizzed about how confident he was of getting in a replacement. And for the likes of Owen and Drogba? "I can't say no. Any player I believe can improve the squad, I will look at," he said. "We have a very small group. We had 19 training (on Friday). It is something that would have to be discussed." Sunday's result condemned Liverpool to their worst start to a season since 1962-63.

Arf! Harry on MOTD last night said about Spurs "definitely top four." I think by saying that he's put early pressure on AVB to improve on his own record. Because if we finish below fifth guess who's going to have a very smug, self-satisfied smirk on his face. Anyway, only three games in and people are panicking already at Liverpool and Spurs. A new manager, new players and a new broom, these things take time to gel.
