Ballotelli -what a blistered bell-end that man is.

We shook em up good and proper last week, and now Arsenal have done them. Heh.

[sj33]

Why always him?

Fair play to Mancini at least, in the after match interview it was suggested that the authorities could look at that unpunished tackle by Balotelli and he said he hoped they would as he deserved to be punished. Said if he doesn't change he's going to end up throwing his career away.

Why always him?

Because hes a fookin proper plonker!!

[nakamura]

The guy is a fool. I don't think that tackle was malicious, more the fact he is so idle when going for the ball he just caught him going in late. It was a red mind, no doubt about that. He needs to sort his attitude, if he was on his toes, up for the match I don't think that challenge would have happened.

[sj33]

If there was ever any doubt that Balotelli should have been sent off much earlier.

Away to Everton today. FFS. They're in form, and we haven't won there since about 1998. This is going to be a reaming. I'll say 3-0 (Jelavic, Pienaar and Baines).

Urgh, I'd rather go to Old Trafford than Goodison.

[Adrock]

Jelavic will get two. He seems to have been a good signing so far. Moyes might rest a lot of his team though, with one eye on the semi final this coming Saturday.

Liverpool play tomorrow and I imagine they'll do the same.

Off to see Spurs vs Norwich later on. Don't think we'll be resting anyone, the race for the Champions League spots is terrifyingly tight so we really need to win to keep Chelsea and Newcastle at bay and put pressure on Arsenal ahead of their tough tough match with... Wolves??? Ah bugger. Well, anyway, we need to win!

[toythatkills]

They lost a tough tough match with QPR last week so don't write Wolves off yet

[EJG1980]

Problem is I think that Wolves have had almost all their belief sucked out of them now. The other teams down there you sense are still scrapping away and have still got the fight to pull off shock wins (not looking forward to our trips to QPR or Bolton, for example) but poor old Wolves... constantly losing, and not just losing, but taking the lead so many times and still losing! That's gotta take a big mental toll on the players.

If Wolves can get something against an Arsenal side that (QPR blip aside) are absolutely flying at the moment, I will be amazed. Delighted but amazed Assuming we don't stuff up against Norwich!

I'm a canary this afternoon!

I'm a canary this afternoon!

Really? Cool, last Tuesday evening I was a baby, but a canary sounds like fun! Do you see Mistress Dominica too?

[toythatkills]

I don't usually see anyone. People tend to stay away once I've got the suit on

[EJG1980]

That's a damn shame. If only people could be more open minded!

Oh well, time for my weekly sadomasochism session. Off we go to Spurs
