''What's the first sign of spring?'' "When Arsenal get knocked out of the Champions League. It happens every year in the 2nd week of March"

Brilliant!  Will have to remember that one!

Buffon due to make his 1,000th appearance in his career. An incredible achievement by a great goal keeper.

Watching Spain vs Israel, Diego looks so poor.

Ireland Wales was so sh*t. That group is the least predictable because there are no standout teams.

I can't see Wales winning the group after tonight. Bale and Taylor are suspended for the next game against Serbia. 

As much as I want Ireland to qualify, they don't really deserve to on the basis of their play. 

Seamus Coleman suffered a gruesome leg break from a Taylor tackle. 

Here's the tackle. To be honest I don't think it's worse than some of the Spurs thuggery in the Battle of the Bridge last season which tells you how lucky our players were to not be injured during that game.

This is the injury. Not for the squeamish. It's like the one Demba Ba got last year in China. I didn't embed the image because of its graphicness.

On a less serious note, Glenn Whelan and Joe Allen, teammates at Stoke, had an altercation. The look on Shane Long's face is funny.

He's still older than the two reserve goalkeepers' age combined.

And then just today, they're fined for misconduct in game vs Liverpool.

Interesting article in today's Telegraph about the late Jeff Astle. Includes interviews with his with wife and daughter. They are not very complimentary about Gordon Taylor, head of the PFA.

Not sure where to put this but excellent read. There's even a bit about us trying to sign him as well. The MJ comparison was a great strategy, too bad he had his heart set on Barca

Liverpool could be hit with transfer ban over claims of tapping up Stoke City schoolboy

Shock, another man played with three defenders, unbelievable. Is journalism getting this bad?

Who did it first is neither here nor there, fact is Conte doing it is what made the rest of the league crap themselves and match in a desperate attempt to keep up. Even Jose "433/4231" Mourinho is starting to try it.

Doesn't matter who did first. It matters who does it the most effectively.

 

 

Hoping that burnley can get something out of the Spurs game today.

 

why do everton even bother turning up at anfield, they might as well play the bench and save their legs. they seem to be beat before they even get there

Everton are all over the place and how much is Lukaku going for?   Unless he is scoring he is offering nothing else.
