On the Ball (new Football Focus)

[Mick Mac]

Lots of Rafa rumours here

[????]

and Ratty's mate Storrie leading 'new bid' for Pompey

[ratty]

Yeah - interesting. If I trust anyone in footy then I trust Peter.... did I actually type that???? What's your opinion of him quids, as an ex west ham man??

[Ladygooner]

Congratulations to Burnley!

[Sandperson]

Sounds like we were rubbish. Something's got to change at United on the evidence of the first two games. That was the banana skin I predicted. Let's hope it'll give us a kick up the arse.

Bob Dylan once wrote a song called "The odds, they are a changin".

If you check Betfair, you will see he knew what he was talking about.

Coming in (good) : Arsenal and Chelsea (ie my bets)

Going out (bad) : MU and Liverpool

[Mick Mac]

Sol Campbell once heard Sven Goren Erikkson would shag absolutley anything and judging by the transfer roumours he has taken it literally.

Ratty - During our Bond Scheme fiasco I wrote him a long and ranty letter which he had the decency to respond to and address all my points, which I was impressed with...generally some fans I know that are closer to the club thought he was a genuine guy

Burnley's keeper was awesome! Don't know if he's always like that, but that was the game of his life!

Ooh what was that I was saying about slips early in season and everybody writing them off. Expect them to hit a vein of form in the new year and overtake Arsenals early promise to make it a two horse race against Chelski.

God it's getting more predictable and boring than formula one isn't it :(

[Mick Mac]

Liverpool looked good tonight on MOTD.

[mockney piers]

They're looking alot better than David James. Dear god what is that man wearing ?!?

[mockney piers]

Oh my god, I thought the kit was bad, but that tache! No no no!!

[Annasfield]

What an improvement from Sunday. We looked like we wanted it and I thought Lucas played brilliantly tonight. Great to see Johnson get a goal on his anfield debut.Happy days!

Yanks out!

Think it can best be described at lipstick pink.

David James' shirt was worn for Charity last night.

Much in line with the 92nd minute penalty he gave away when needlessly flattening Larsson. :))

Its next Weds Tony. No tickets I'm afraid and despite the score last night I think they will be hard to get. Unless you are winding me up of course.

I work Wednesday evenings but if it had been on another night and we could have got tickets I would have liked to have gone for the craic Mick...

[Jah Lush]

Top of the Premiership and West Ham you're next. Go on you Spurs!

[Keef]

Spurs looking very good right now, Demofo is on fire!

[Tony.London Suburbs]

Interesting banter on certain Football Forums between West Ham fans and Spurs fans regarding The Hammers forthcoming "2 games at Home in 2 days"...Hammers fans say they would rather lose 5/0 to Spursand beat The Wall.

Spurs reply with "You consider there is a greater rivalry with a 3rd Division side!!"...and then add that says a lot about you(!) referring to West Ham, of course.

Then The Hammers fans retorted "No! this says more about YOU !".....:))

[red devil]

No qualms about Utd's result, congrats to Burnley. Although we're notoriously slow starters I wouldn't want to give Chelski this season a 6-9 point lead at Xmas. Can Spurs keep it going?, certainly shaping up to be an interesting season...

[matthew123]

Crap first half performance by Liverpool but came on strong second half with some nimble football led by Yossi. It's incredible how much he has improved this year - he looked real confident in front of the Kop last night.

[Tony.London Suburbs]

Typical of my ruddy luck.

I told anyone who cared to listen that, with this current strike-force, United are a good "Lay" at short odds in many Away matches and they have to play Burnley Away on the only Midweek evening that I have to work.

Lay United ?600-?200 ON and do Burnley/United at 40/1= ?600-?15 and "Draw-United ?100 @ 4/1).

As long as United don't lead at Half-Time you are on a big winner, whatever the result.

[Sandperson]

Yossi has to have become one of your best players in the last 12 months. He looked lively against Spurs on sunday too when everyone else seemed to flag.
