Darlo Uncovered

Chelsea played some pretty good football when Jose first came over to England.

Although I agree that he set's his team out to be effective rather than pleasing on the eye, is that really a bad thing?

Nicolas Anelka has apparently left West Brom and may consider retiring.

Incredible business by Spurs.

There is incredible business, and then there is that.

I just hope the fee doesn't affect Bale mentally.

Where is Dryden nowadays?

Aren't RM still paying off the Modric transfer? Bale will be about forty-eight by the time they've finished paying off the transfer

Luke Shaw was fantastic last season. I know he's signed a long-term contract with Southampton but if he has another good season they'll find it difficult to keep hold of him. If United don't manage to get Baines before September, I wouldn't be surprised if they made a move for him. He's still only s...

I actually think that the fact many are writing off United this season will probably give them that extra incentive to go and prove people wrong.

I'm astonished that Clev wanted to stand and trade with Kovalev. You don't stand and trade with someone like that. I'm also surprised that there was no re-match clause inserted into the contract, especially as the fight was voluntary rather than mandatory - not that I'd expect any clause to have bee...

All the top leagues kick off today - La Liga, The Premier League and of course the Evo-Stik

Even our 'good' players don't seem very good anymore. Another Hart clanger, Gerrard playing 50 yard balls to the opposition defence, Rooney totally unfit and disinterested. To be fair, Hart didn't see it until very late, and it came through a fair few players on the way. Don't get me wrong, Hart wi...

Honestly, the constant bashing of the likes of Walcott, Wellbeck, Cleverley etc is really starting to piss me off. These are young players who all get a regular game in some of the best club sides in European football. Now we might not be as strong as we were a decade ago, and we might not be as st...

This fixture always attracts some bubble makers....

To be honest, I think we'll give a few of the fringe players a chance so it will be a lot closer than it would have been normally....

England 5-0 Scotland

Every Arsenal goalscorer in the Premier League - I managed 65

I managed to think of Eagles, Bellion and Rossi but I somehow missed Ronaldo and Scholes.

Their first 'home' game of the season only managed to attract a crowd of barely 2,000 this afternoon. Television footage also showed fans arguing and bickering among themselves which really is worrying.

I thought so too - but I can't think of any that stand out that don't feature in that list.

I know you like your trivia - found this on Sporcle which is pretty good. Amazing the high profile answers that I had completely forgotten about. Interesting link which I'm guessing didn't come from a United supporter

I don't take any notice of the standings until they've all played around ten games or so. Having said that, I'll enjoy it while it lasts because they'll turn it around before too long. They'll end up around mid-table I think.

Deontay Wilder banged out another bum last night - although a slightly better bum than any of his previous bums.

I'd love to see Chisora vs Wilder later this year.

Bloody awful that this is creeping into football now. I hate the American sounding rugby league franchise names Proud historic names like Bradford Northern becoming the Bradford Bulls. Leeds Rhinos, Keighley Cougars . Utter wank. At least there is none of that s*** at the level we are at. Can't see...

Damn, bloody mobile took too long

Scores for Birmingham against his former club.

Good to see the lad get off the mark at his new club.

I've heard a few people claim that Hooper is better than Welbeck recently - no idea what they base that ridiculous opinion on though. Maybe grabbing a few goals past the likes of Queen of the South, Ross County and Dunfermline is suddenly comparable to notching past the likes of Man City, Arsenal an...

Correct, although I did have to check about Lippi

Which four managers have managed in at least one hundred Champions League games?

Well, I think they'll be more than useful when it gets to Easter time and they're involved in a title challenge.

Mine aren't exactly a million miles away from your choices Spyman Premier League top four in order - Chelsea, Man United, Man City, Tottenham The three clubs to be relegated (in any order) - Palace, Hull City, Stoke City Three clubs to be promoted to the Premier League (in any order) - QPR, Wigan, F...

I know there is already a thread similar to this, but this has a slight twist. At work, we've got a season prediction game based on a number of scenarios over the course of the season. There are fifteen things to predict, and I'll save them and try and get it into some kind of spreadsheet if anyone ...

The thing is, while Moyes and Pellegrini haven't done it before, most of their playing staff have. There are very few members of the Chelsea team that have been involved with a Premiership title chase and it is the players out on the pitch as much as the manager that win the games. The spine of the...
