I still can't work out which was the worst choice of manager for West Ham Roeder or Grant. I think Zola just avoids, so it's a binary choice (although a few would bung BFS in the mix no doubt!).

Actually it's Roeder, for the position and strength of squad we had then*...Grant was just a bizzare choice when we were nearly bust

*tears well up

[maxxi]

Roeder caused the exodus but be fair - he did bring cultured players like Bowyer and Repka and Brevett to the club - all that 'yeah but he's a lovely bloke' cobblers...

Lou Macari for me. Just wrong, wrong, wrong.

['bout now]

Aaaaah Tomas Repka, turning circle of an Oil Tanker, face of an Oil Tanker.

[Parkdrive]

Bowyer was a lovely bloke, very grounded and had a great understanding of ethnic diversity. Tool

[????]

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[????]

reading,s injury time goal also stopped my only correct score to add salt into another shite performance

[Alan Medic]

I'd like to claim a 'maxxi' RD. Me account was hacked. They weren't me entries.

[Otta]

Before that match I'd have been pleased with a point, but letting a 2 goal lead slip in 3 minutes is a bitch.

It's all relative Meds, your score merited a mid-table finish...alphabetically

*Drum roll, rubs hands in anticipation...*

Week 20 results...

RD - 6 Correct Results + 2 Correct Scores = 12 pts

LG - 1 Correct Result + 2 Correct Scores = 7 pts

EP - 3 Correct Results + 1 Correct Score = 6 pts

JL - 3 Correct Results + 1 Correct Score = 6 pts

PD - 3 Correct Results + 1 Correct Score = 6 pts

?? - 4 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 4 pts

AM - 3 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 3 pts

DR - 3 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 3 pts

RC - 3 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 3 pts

SC - 3 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 3 pts

MM - 2 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 2 pts

Mx - 2 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 2 pts

OT - 2 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 2 pts

maxxi is actually beating me in the EDF Fantasy League...no, I haven't worked that one out either ;-)

[red devil]

After lengthy negotiations*, calls to agents and putting 'arry on 'block', a roadmap for agreement has been brokered, and I can now confirm the format for the inaugural EDF Footy Predictor Champions League...

*a saucer of milk for next door's cats

All teams are cordially invited to enter and predict the scores for the home and away legs of the last 16 of the Champions League (matches played from Wed 13th Feb through to 13th March).

Predictions will be made weekly, 4 games per week, over 4 weeks.

The top 8 teams* will then qualify for the QF stage, where a randomly drawn knock-out system will begin, mirroring the Champions League all the way through to the May Final.

*If teams are level on points, e.g. 7th, 8th, 9th place, then the team(s) with the highest number of correct scores will go through.

If this is still equal, then I will toss a coin...

You will rue those ill-chosen words senor cuarenta por ciento!

@???? - I shouldn't worry about Saturday - BFS's excuses for the shitty away performances recently have been that 'home form' will see us through. Pah! If it don't and pretty bloody soon then I hope he waves bye-bye smartish.

[Jah Lush]

Has anyone else noticed Joe Cole's lack of mobility? I think all those injuries have caught up with him. I'd love to see him get back to his best because he's a player I've always enjoyed watching but doesn't look half the player he was. He was non-existent in the "highlights" on MOTD last night.

Anyway, still no sign of Levy signing a striker before the deadline. Adebayor away on Africa Cup of Nations duty and looking like he doesn't care in a Spurs shirt now he's signed his contract and our only other recognised striker Defoe carrying a pelvic injury you'd think (hope) he'd pull his bloody finger out. We want the Brazilian Leandro Damiao but will probably end up with nothing... or bloody Peter Crouch again. Bah!

[red devil]

Cheer up Jah, at least you've managed to offload Gomes...

[malumbu]

Can please someone tell me why any footballer would want to go to QPR - apart from the obvious (loads of money, to sit on the bench and get relegated). Don't understand.

[????]

Loads of money, massive bonus if they stay up, escape clause if they're relegated would be my guess

[????]

fook me, am I safe to say we've managed to keep Diame now? Massive for us.

[Rhinestone Cowboy]

QPR 1 Norwich 0

I think you answered your own question, and quids is spot on
