Football Focus

[Mick Mac]

I know you are just hurting Jah as Newcastle have scored....

We all like to watch the English Premiership but its a big money league. Scottish football is ok, but the Celtic Rangers rivaly is hard to beat and far from boring.

There are not many great scottish players anyomre, you are right, but there aren't many great English players either...the English players get squeezed out.

The Hearts/Rangers game was actually very good today. But you're right, the SPL is very poor. Scottish football is going no where quickly.

6666 has got to be worth something to someone, no?

Sounds like United hit some form today. Would that be fair to say?

[kpc]

Absolutely - but helped by the opposition not turning up. Could easily have been many, many more than five. Nani was superb. So easy that United had the luxury of bringing on Michael Owen with over half an hour to go.

some pret-tay pret-tay happy Aston Villa/Bent fans tonight

[Narnia]

It's starting to look like it's a two horse race for the PL.

Absolutley agree Declan.

Which two?

[Narnia]

Those two.......

[Atticus]

West Ham deserved all 3 points today, it's days like these that I don't buy into the beautiful game.

Unlucky Avram, you deserved more.

[Annasfield]

We completed 30 passes before our 3rd goal yesterday. So nice to enjoy an away day again.

Long may it continue.

You always surprise me Mick.

Sky off the record commentary about the female liner yesterday.

Absolute bellends.

[Keef]

As I said on FB, the Karen Brady comment made me laugh. Other than that, it is well out of order.

[Narnia]

It was also out of order for Brady to blame the BBC for breaking the news that WH were interested in MO'N. If the discussion took place in the confines of a boardroom, one of them released the information. She squealed that it wasn't a fair question when asked about it as did one of the other two in a different interview.

I do hope that WH are successful in getting the Olympic stadium bid though as it would be a disgrace if the stadium was demolished which is what would happen if Spurs got it.

I still don't understand why no one has mentioned retractable seating to cover the athletics track.

[Emerson Crane]

3 corkers by RVP on Saturday,(if it hadn't been for the heroics of the Wigan keeper it would have been a cricket score), thanks Villa, unlucky West Ham and Newcastle. Lord Coe backing West Hams bid for the Olympic stadium (Be careful what you wish for hammers fans). Monday ain't so bad after all.

[Annasfield]

Keys and Gray dropped from tonight's game.

http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Rumour-Have-Sky-Sports-Andy-Gray-and-Richard-Keys-been-dumped-from-Bolton-v-Chelsea-Monday-Night-Football-match-article680733.html

Token gesture from Sky, but I suppose it's better than nothing.

[Emerson Crane]

Keys has form in respect of making inappropriate comments when he thought the mics were off. He made some rather uncomplimentary comments about Theo Walcott in similar circumstances. I think they should both be shown the door. As Gray would say, "Take a bow son" and "bow" out.

[SeanMacGabhann]

what anna said

[Annasfield]

Love how Kenny took the piss out of sky about it this morning in press conference.

I remember the Walcott incident too. Can't bear those two, glad I don't have to listen to them all that often.

Do we think the stand ins for tonights game will be male or female...

Couple of girls I reckon would be best....

"Oooh, look at him in his tight shorts...." all off mic of course.

[Keef]

Agree that it's just a token gesture, but Mick's post has made me think, it would actually be really funny if they got 2 girls who actually knew NOTHING about the game, just for comedy value.

[Narnia]

There are plenty of blokes who know nothing about the game too you know. Haven't you been reading this thread?

[pablogrande]

I think Andy Gray should be forced to present the next game wearing a dress knitted entirely from the hair off Richard Keys arms
