The saggy jowled one will probably wriggle out of it, and it was never a pen. City have their card marked do you think?

[Atticus]

Different side without Yaya

[Parkdrive]

What a goal!!!!!!!!

[Parkdrive]

El Clasico living up to the hype!!! Real have most of the first half yet find themselves 2 nil down. As for Alves goal. What a peach!!

[Mick Mac]

Carling Cup. Malkey against Kenny. Two Celtic greats.

Liverpool were fortunate with the penalty, but played well, and deserved something from it.

I've slagged off Bellamy in the past, not for his football, but for his actions off the pitch. Last night though he was a hero on the pitch, with a great goal to take us through.

I know the league cup isn't exactly the Champions League, but it's a trip to Wembley, and any of the top 5 teams would have set out to win it once they were in the semis.

Problem for Palace all season has been we can't score enough goals, Freedman doing a good job though after a year in charge, making us difficult to beat and then building from there. Palace v Liverpool would have been a perfect final, happy memories of Villa Park.

El Clasico - Real Madrid very unlucky, ref seemed to give everything to Barcelona, disallowed goal, dodgy sending off, added nowhere near enough extra time and then blew before time was up.

REf should have sent off Diara for Real, not sure how he and Pepe didn't get their marching orders. Great game though and 4 great goals especially the Alves and Benzema ones.

Not far from the truth very suspect penalty given instead. Much of a muchness.

I see the Hammers are after Rangers centre forward. I suspect they will be forced to sell by their bank even if it's not as much as they think he is worth. I gather their situation is pretty dire which should make it all the easier for Celtic to win the league.

[spoiltdog]

Watford v Tottenham - who do you think will win

[Jah Lush]

Tottenham of course.

[red devil]

The jury's out on that one...

[Jah Lush]

Bench warmers to get a run out.

During 'arrys case, he was asked why his financial affairs were so badly documented. He replied that most of his deals were conducted with a nod and a wink.

[Atticus]

Anyone know if Fulham v Everton will be on anywhere tonight, given that ESPN have chosen to show Watford v Spurs!!!

If Rangers lose Jelovic they will be significantly weakened, I can't see then being able to get someone in as good as him at short notice. Celtic seem determined to keep their best players at least to the end of the season.

Jelavic bid turned down according to McCoist - QPR, Fulham and Liverpool also in the frame for him.

[Parkdrive]

I'm at a loss to understand why Talksport would suggest that Evra should be rested on the basis that he may get an adverse reaction from the crowd in the game tomorrow. FFS.

[bon3yard]

Have you not grasped Adrian Durhams MO yet?

[red devil]

Isn't Talksport full of self-opinionated put the world to rights nutjobs?...

*sound of penny dropping*

[bon3yard]

What Red Devil said. ;-)

[Atticus]

Self-righteous 5 live tonight talking about tv cameras fixed on ferdinad and terry handshake tomorrow, yet, they spent 10 mins talking about it and its implications.

[Jah Lush]

What a marvelous weekend of football ahead of us we have with a couple of tasty confrontations ahead of us. They'll be plenty to talk about I'm sure. Will Evra play against the Pool? I'm damned sure Terry will play against QPR. Anyway, I'll hold my hand hands up and admit that Tottenham were bloody awful tonight even though we won with Van De Vaart's only contribution of the night. Goalie should have save it as well. Think the bounce done him.

[Mick Mac]

Who was your editor tonight Jah. He missed a few typos but we get the drift. Should be a super weekend. Wife and daughters are away. Just me and little Rory and he wants to watch all the sport going this weekend. He told me so imself.
