Dark Munster

Not in July or August I hope.

0-2 to us. Gus will then have a fit.

Not if 52 of the 59 promoted teams were relegated in their first season up.

It's not easy braving the chilly 70F winters here, but someone has to do it.

Not to mention a chance to increase their capacity. That way they can get much needed extra revenue, currently lost due to tens of thousands of the bestest being turned away each week from a packed Krap Nottarf. Oh...

Actually there are 3 leagues: 10th and below, 8th and above, and us in the bubble in the middle. In other words, we're in a league of our own!

Tough one that, I think I'd take it, but it could cost MP his job. An interesting poll would be to choose from 17th and the cup vs. 6th and no cup. No way for me!

Ah deflection, a last resort of the exposed!

Unless they win it.

But you don't give a **** if we win or lose, right?

And doing it all without a (deserved) 10 point deduction. Indeed, it would be a momentous achievement.

Skate-exposing Munster

....ings. His last name has been chopped off. What was there before, and who did it?

Just like Wigan last year?

And if we get to Wembley would you also not give two ****s if we won or lost?

In fairness, when we played Sunderland the club still had delusions of a CL place. But now that's over, and we're in no-man's land in the middle of the table, it would be wrong to do so again IMO.

^ This. Instead of Arsenal qualifying with 12 points from a group of death, and playing Bayern in the next round, we'd have Wigan (probably) getting knocked out in the preliminary round.

Not sure if this is in the original match report, but even if it is it's getting spotlighted again:

Apparently not: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2532710/Mark-Clattenburg-investigated-Southampton-accuse-referee-abusing-Adam-Lallana.html I wish the PL would allow each club a choice of up to 2 refs they can request not to referee their matches. If a ref gets excluded by too many clubs, it's hasta la vista baby. It may force one or two of them, like Cretinberg, to do their job properly.

I think both clubs should agree that if it's a draw after 89 minutes, the coaches toss a coin, and the team losing the toss scores an own goal in the 90th minute.

Fair enough. But I'd guess the majority of us would want the opposite. Me for starters.

^ This. Rest one or two knackered players, but put out as strong a side as possible.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. They were two excellently timed clearances, and I very much doubt our table football goalie would have come out to clear either of them, and would've been 1 on 1 with the striker. As Oscar showed in the 2nd half, Chelski's players know how to put those away.
