Soda Jerk Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Meyler on Januzaj last night Pardew didn't headbutt this prick hard enough. Referee didn't act on it, so hopefully he'll get banned retrospectively and miss the FA Cup final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) Hearts seem to have been dishing out kickings to everyone since their relegation was confirmed. So weird. It was like finally being relegated lifted the pressure off them. Are they allowed to sign players in the summer? (And do they have any money to?) The good form actually started just before relegation was confirmed, but I think it was all but done in the players heads so you could be right about playing without the pressure. I think Hearts will do well next year in that division. Results not going hibs way tonight. Edited May 7, 2014 by Paranoid Android Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Rio is a total boob. However, he's been pretty good on BT Sport the occasions he's been on this season. Surprisingly insightful. As boob-ish as he is, he's got a sound tactical head. He'll be better than Chris Waddle, who is a bitter old codger. Big Bad Brad is a top bloke too. Was it BBC that had Seedorf and Leonardo? They were great. Especially Clarence. Just boot Waddle, and replace him with the wonderful Clarence, then it's a good punditry. You need Savage in there to even it out. He'll be a laugh.

Paranoid Android Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 That's the annoying thing, even if their normal standard isn't great they usually get really good people like Leonardo in at the world cup. Savage is a total joke and the fact the bbc continue to push him as their new main man infuriates me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 I agree. I hate Savage. He'll see this as his big moment in the spotlight and try his infuriating 'I tell it like it is' schtick. Leonardo and Seedorf would just straight-talk about football and not give a fuck how their bantz goes down on twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Real Madrid have just completely fucked any real chance of winning the league. 2 Draws in the last two matches, who would have predicted that? Now it's back in Barcelona's hands too, they'll proper go for it in the last game (assuming they beat elche this weekend). 2 draws will do for Atleti though.

Soda Jerk Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 They would have. Their losses weren't far off of City's losses. I didn't actually realise being in Europe was part of the criteria. I thought all professional clubs in UEFA were subject to FFP. Though it makes sense why Monaco aren't in the shit. Astronomical amounts of money in the red.

Lemonade Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 That's Hibs down to 11th. One game to go. So am I right in saying then that 3rd plays 4th over two legs, then 2nd plays the winner of that tie over 2 legs, then Hibs would play the winner of that tie? That seems unfairly stacked in favour of the SPL team. One game vs potentially 5. I'd have said either put the 4 of them in equally, or just 2nd v 3rd, Hibs play the winner. In a league of 10 there shouldn't be a prize for finishing 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a league of 10 there shouldn't be a prize for finishing 4th. Devils advocate is that the non-SPFL team have already won anywhere between 1 and 4 games and have a pile of momentum behind them as opposed to the shitey Hibs/Killie XI that have been taking regular hammerings. (Hamilton Comicals smacked 10 past Morton on Saturday. Ouch.) Nae worried about that though, just glad that the Montrose/A******h derby is back next year, fuck yer El Classico....

Biiiggg ZZZZZs from that boring bastard. I'm struggling to remember seeing Jimmy Floyd doing punditry. Michael Owen is a total bore. The tone of his voice annoys me. He's not bad for inside knowledge of teams he's recently played for. United and Stoke, mostly, and a bit of Newcastle. He seems to love a bit of gossip. He did once say he wanted to become an Agent, so that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
