First ever post here despite being a long, long, long time lurker. :)

I'm a Celtic fan. I wonder who the OP supports now that his club (or is that "company"?) is in liquidation. ;)

Everton are winning 1-0 at Old Trafford, surely Man Utd will be out of title races if it stay like this?
.

12 points off the top now, the top 5 now has clear daylight from 6th.

David Moyes has finally seen Everton win at Old Trafford after 10 years of trying.

Roberto Martinez seems to be proving the doubters wrong so far who said he wasn't good enough for Everton. Everton are looking better than ever seen them under Moyes.

As a red it is interesting. As a Scouser I've heard it all before like I have for the reds.

I now think top 4 will be Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City, with either Liverpool or Everton. Hopefuly Liverpool though.

Suarez may be an arsehole at times....but that goal against Norwich sheer class :p

His price makes Andy Caroll look like an overpriced dork ...just imagine if they still had "The Old Torres" up front alongside him :idea:

Perhaps the wrong Manager got the Man Utd job ?

The same team I've supported since I was 8. You know, the most successful football team ever, the ones who've just broken a club record for most consecutive wins and the only professional team in Europe still with a 100% record for this season. WDDWA.

Who's that, Bath City?

Which one of those three statements I made align to Bath City's position? They aren't the most successful team ever by terms of silverware won, they might have recently broken a club record (not that I really care), and they aren't, to the best of my knowledge, professional. They might be one, they ain't all three.

Wind your neck in mate. It was a crap joke. It was just when you said the most successful football team ever I started wondering who you meant and on what basis. To be honest I really don't care.

Matt, this would not normally be a statement to make that concerns a football club that is in the third tier of its own domestic league.

In which case I apologise for my reaction, sadly at times on here nowadays it is hard to tell who's having a joke, who's trolling and who's genuinely misguided. Don't really care about what, if you don't mind me asking?

Indeed, that's the way it goes sometimes though.

I don't really care who you support. No offence or anything. I am a Liverpool supporter, born and bred. Believe it or not they are the closest professional team to my house by about half a mile from Everton and a tiny bit further to Tranmere. I mentioned Bath City because my brother lived there for a while and follows them home and away. I didn't mean to appear to be taking the mick out of your team whoever they are, I hope they bring you much joy. I didn't make it to our game last night but am going to the West Ham game at the weekend, it will be my seventh of the season so I do go to the match, home and away when possible. Anyway, all the best.

Yes. Although I'm sure someone will be on to ask 'how can you enjoy watching people kicking a ball around for 90 minutes'?

Yes- We enjoyed. But in a match why don't every player taken their own Ball separately.

Well we know we going to get hard group but if England can beat Costa Rica in last match and possible getting draw against Uruguay and Italy then who knows we may finish 2nd in that group.

Can't believe our first match will be played at 2am on 15th June but aleast other two are kicking off at 8pm and 5pm so it not too bad then.

Spain v Holland and Germany v Portugal look good ties and you can say Argentina, France and Belgium got easily group but is any good in World Cup easy?

If you look at the schedule Manaus will only be hosting evening games (because it's too hot and humid during the day; a fact that Hodgson pointed out yesterday only to be told by the mayor of Manaus in no uncertain terms to go stuff himself).

It isn't so bad really, the other two games in Belo Horizonte and Sao Paolo aren't too far to travel. I think we play Italy in Manaus and even they won't be quite so used to the heat and humidity, it gets colder than here in a lot of Northern Italy.

Possible but unlikely, the MOTD commentator must have been a bluenose for he seems excited when Southampton scored but deadpan when we did. The running order is crap too (and sweep only makes an appearance in October unless the sooty show avatars come back :lol:)

Still getting over how we lost by 3 to Swansea. But with this weekends game against a Man Utd side without Rooney & possibly Van Persie and in a bit of turmoil I hope we can put on a decent performance and at least get a draw out of them.

Well United won, a good three points to take back to Tyneside :)

Congratulations! Though now that Fergie's retired I don't get quite the same level of schadenfreude whenever United lose... The top division is as open as I can remember for a long time- at the top end at least!

Meanwhile, we've won 3 on the trot for the first time since the season before our promotion season, and Mark Robins' style seems to be bearing a little fruit. This afternoon though we're at Ipswich- where we never do well. Last season we drew 2-2 there despite having just sold Rhodesy and not replaced him. Would be quite happy with a point again (though I've backed us in my accumulator out of hope more than expectation)!

EDIT (1538): What on earth is happening at the Shay?!?! Also, Danny Ward bags one for HTAFC at Portman Road. UTT!

Is anyone going to seriously argue Rafa Benitez would not be making a better job than Moyes is at Manchester United.

As for hostility it didn't stop him winning a trophy at Chelsea :idea:

More goals for Suarez today....if Liverpool could get Torres back on the cheap and raid your best players they would be true title contenders.

Whoops...:oops: that didn't work last time !!
