I should be a gambler really.

I don't really want to say it, but I'm feeling a 2-1 victory for Spurs tomorrow.
Sorry, Nick.  Sad

I'm like a bloody oracle right now!

Was sat watching the end of the Hearts-Rangers game, at 1-1 with Kris Boyd warming up, I turned to my brother and said "these bastards are gonna get a penalty in the last minute and he's going to score it."

Guess what happened.

Shocking news about Davenport! Seems very calculated that they went for his legs.

I'm holding you personally responsible dude, at least until you correctly predict a win for us at Blackburn next week. Laughing

FFS though - have you seen Carlton Cole's 'moment of madness'????? Un-tmesis-believable!!

I am now putting fake money on Benitez being the first manager to get the chop.

Well, I half-jokingly mentioned it earlier, but now Mr.SAGE has stated it, I'm already halfway down the road to Bill Hills.

West Ham v Millwall tonight    Scared, shocked

So does Liverpool outright suck this year or are they just unlucky thus far?

Is that tonight? I thought it was tomorrow because there were a bunch of Celtic fans on the messageboard I read that were worried about Millwall playing on the same night  Laughing

Anyway, since my predictions have been spot on lately, I'm gonna say that Celtic are going to win 3-1 tomorrow.  Smile

It's in less than two hours. I await your prediction with horror.

By the way, what a wek for West Ham, off the pitch. On top of that horrific attack on Calum Davenport, it's now being reported that Jack Collison's, who's only 20, dad was killed on his motorbike on his way to watch the Tottenham game. Fucking grim.

Of course. It's Millwall, the London Huns! Really hope you turn this around.

Football is unfair. For anyone that sees that aggregate score, it looks like we've been absolutely trounced. But in reality, we were undone by a deflection off Gallas back from a ball he was actually trying to get away from, a desperately unlucky own goal and some outright cheating by  Eduardo. Arsenal didn't really cause us many problems over the two legs until the tie was over as a contest and the pressure was off.

We really get no luck at all in these kind of games. Like when we lost 3-0 at Old Trafford last season, with the first two goals being blatantly offside.

Absolute shitter.

They should really start handing out retrospective 3 game bans for blatant diving like that. It's outright cheating. Not just because I'm bitter either, I've always held this opinion.

(is it wrong to hope Eduardo gets his leg snapped again?)

If you want to watch people playing football like they love the game, women's football is the way to go.  I watched the women's FA Cup final a while back on tv, and I was struck by the hunger they all had for the sport, rather than their male counterparts who seem to be hungry only for the limelight, or the Oscars...

Premiership histrionics are one of the main reasons I stopped watching football a few years ago- in essence, it stopped being football.

Recent conversation between a mate and his work colleague:

Mate: Any plans for the weekend?
Colleague: Going to Dalymount.
M: Dalymount? Really?
C: Yes, there's women's football on tonight.
M: Oh, I see.
C: Yes, and IT"S RAINING.

Well, I must be an idiot. I just spent the best part of two hours of a gloriously sunny Saturday afternoon sat indoors glued to a continuously buffering Iraqi stream of a dismal 0-0 draw. Football is like heroin or something, it just robs you of all rational perspective.

I'm not happy about this last day of the window. Not happy at all. At all.

Did you sell? Or just fail to buy?

West Ham, and Chief Exec Scott Duxbury is a spin-merchant of Mandelsonian proportions. We sell Bellamy for 15M and he promises all will be reinvested in the team. Savio is signed for 5M, then swapped with Fiorentina for a clapped out defender who's played 4 games in two seasons. This window we sell a first choice defender at the height of his career and don't spend the money, despite the fact we have ONE striker, and he doesn't score more than 12 a season. Oh, and that Savio deal? The 5M went to a club whose Chairman is the brother-in-law of our Director of Football and main transfer fixer, Nani. As usual with this club, it stinks, and I wouldn't be surprised if Zola walks.

We sent Darren O'Dea out on loan (who is one of or two best defenders imo), sold Massimo Donati who was just coming onto a bit of form , brought nobody in when we really, really need a new striker at least. Once again we've been cheated. Our Chief Executive, Peter Lawell, could give yours a run for his money in the spink stakes. We get talk of "blue chip signings" and get made all sorts of other promises, when every window our netspend is never over a million. It's brutal as well, because we are just a couple of class players away from burying Rangers.

It's probably more annoying for you, to be honest, taking into account our clubs' relative expectations. With West Ham, the whole deal is a matter of frustration and disappointment. That's what it's all about.

But when I think of what we could have been - James, Rio, Upson, G.Johnson, Joe Cole, Lampard, Carrick,  Defoe, Cole (Tevez!*)

* haha = just joking

Nick, I'm guessing your head is still in your hands after the weekend?! Get all the bad luck and dodgy decisions out of the way early season, eh? But please lose to Liverpool.

After 30 odd years supporting this useless shower I have actually now created a second head (I grew it on a mouse) which I keep permanently in my hands for the sake of ease.

Of course we will lose to bastard Liverpool. Four or five would be my guess.

Hey Nick, they're showing the West Ham-Liverpool match on Fox Soccer. Nice slapstick trick goal by Diamanti there!
