lol

I had a similar reaction when Hibs' perfectly legal equaliser was chopped off for offside. I just laughed out loud and said, "FFS, AGAIN? And these official are sponsored by "specsavers" no less. Forster, just outside 6 yard box, back post, beautiful header in the opposite corner, absolutely beautiful technique, JFW' player was IN the 6 yard box when the cross came over...... But offside! Nice one officials. A bit like last season when Super Leigh scored an absolute peach of a freekick from 32 yards against those fuckers..., ..... Ball hit the bar and bounced down about 2 yards over the line. Yep, the Jambos just keep on getting all the decisions. If that had went 1-1, the Hibs would've won it 2 or 3-1 easily, of that I have no doubt whatsoever.

Great win for Osijek , Essek. Very tight last few games for survival. Speaking of survival....., the JFW's will bd relegated, but if the Hibs don't get another couple win from the last 7, they'll be in the relegation play off fight. That won't be nice.

Big week in the EPL fixtures

Arsenal v. Everton - The Arsenal goes to Goodison Park for a showdown. Early in 2014 Everton was slumping and looking at a spot in the Europa League. But things have turned up late where. Conversely a month ago, Arsenal was in a three team race for a Premiere League win. Now where do things stand. Everton is in 5th place, 4 points behind Arsenal, with a game in hand. This is the closest Everton has been to the Champions league in a long time, they need this win.

Stoke v. Chelsea - It seems like Chelsea has played nearly every game of the last month at Stamford Bridge. Saturday they take on Stoke. Stoke City has a firm grasp on the mid table. Chelsea is currently in 2nd place, but Mourinho has already declared their Premiership candidacy finished after last Saturday's failure against Crystal Place. It appears that he is focusing everything on the Champions League and the offseason. They have start the quarterfinals tie against PSG on the continent this week. Big week for them, get a draw in France and it would set them up for good chance to advance next week at Stamford Bridge. All kinds of rumours on what Jose will do in the offseason. One thing is certain, Fernando Torres will not be there for Chelsea next season. 4 goals in 20 games isn't getting it done in the EPL.

Southampton v Man City - Man City hosts Southampton, they drew 1-1 at Southampton in December. A dicey game as they gave away all margin of error arfter the Crystal Palace tie. 2 months ago they were looking at trying to get 4 titles in a year. Now they are in a dogfight to make sure the League Cup isn't the sole title this year.

Liverpool v West Ham United - Liverpool, top of the table, in control of their own destiny travels to Upton Park to face The Hammers. West Ham is coming off a Monday defeat of Sunderland crippled The Black Cats attempt to stave off relegation. Back in December Liverpool ripped through West Ham 4-1 at Anfield.

It's quite embarrassing. I actually thought it was red when I first saw it...... My mate Brian said, "IT'S NO FKN RED, MATE....., IT'S FKN PINK.!"
Swears a lot, Brian.

Oh Snap, ManU is up 1 to nil on Bayern. Vidic heads in a cross from Rooney. Moyes season long strategy of numerous crosses is vindicated.
