Actually, if we take the word "daft" to mean "having a debilitating suit habit" then I am correct in saying that since Savage is overflowing with money then it hardly matters whether he has such a habit or not. And it wouldn't be debilitating. To take the word "daft" to mean serious and debilitating alcohol-induced/drug-induced/etc. problems then I am wrong in saying that it hardly matters since those players/ex-players are overflowing with money. However, I never did say the latter statement. I did say the first one, though.

His pockets are overflowing with money so it hardly matters that he's daft.

Craig Short and Paul Dickov in the same team. *gets coat*

Bette Midler's "Wind Beneath My Wings" should be played at the next home game in tribute to Shefki Kuqi.

Some bloke: Is it a bird? Crowd: No! Some bloke: Is it a plane? Crowd: No! Crowd: IT'S KUQI!!! Ha ha. A bit of a spin on the famous Superman quote. It would be hilarious if that was ever used.

Hughesy told Kuqi that WBA are a first division side... that's why he's getting goals.

My head wants that. My heart wants a draw: let them both suffer.

Manchester 1-1 Fulham. Van Nistelrooy scores from a penalty lick. Argh! And now 2-1. Rooney.

Good to see that Hughes has resisted the temptation of putting Todd straight into the starting eleven... what with he being captain and all. Manchester United down 1-0 after two minutes at Fulham! John!

The last time in the league we won two games in a row... April 9: 3-0 against Southampton at home. April 20: 1-0 against Crystal Palace at home. We lost 3-0 against Arsenal in the FA Cup on April 16.

My prediction: 3-1 to the Rovers, with Bellamy, MGP, and Emerton taking one goal each.

Don't worry. He's still very young and 90 minutes of football is too draining at that age, plus he wouldn't be able to comprehend football very much anyway. Give him three years and drag him to watch the Rovers, no matter what. Once he goes he will probably love it, especially if his first game is a Rovers win and he sees everyone around him celebrating and really happy. He'll want to be part of that.

-Emphasis added. Today Sparky showed us that he is not a one-trick man and is actually capable changing our tactics to successfully exploit opportunities (i.e. in this situation he took advantage of a weakened defence, judging by the names missing: Neville and Heinze). EDIT: By the way, check out Colin's comments, fresh from Old Trafford (emphasis added):

A stroke of genius, agreed, especially with Neville and Heinze out which weakened their defence considerably, making more emphasis on attack a good option. Some stats...

FFS. All I was saying is that the 4-4-2 isn't responsible for the win. What has the 4-4-2 got us at Old Trafford in the last 60 years or however many times and years the 4-4-2 has been used there? Aye. Did you not notice that I said "on another day", and not today?

10-10, actually.

On another day we might very well have got a good whipping. One game doesn't make the 4-4-2 valid.

We might actually get some good press this week, what with all the talk of 4-5-1 ruining the game and entertainment and all that... "Oh, look at what a team can do when they play 4-4-2" and all that. Well, it would make a good change.

Take that Manchester scum! You're too old, Fergie! And hopefully Glazer will soon start properly ruining the club soon!

Join the chat, fellas.

1-0 to Rovers. Bellamy to continue his sublime form. The 4-4-2 for a match like this can make some sense if you look at United's defence at the moment, with Neville and Heinze out. Would rather a 5-4-1 with Jansen playing as the lone striker (we need skill, not brute Kuqi force against United... he'll be knocking the ball all over the place and they'll just absorb that) with Bellamy playing a supporting/winger role.

Oh, and a 1-0 win for us is my prediction, with Bellamy giving the bar codes a good embarrassment. I would love it if we beat them. Love it. Their delusions of grandeur and big club sickens me.

Also, have a look at how he set out the design of the two listings, in which he purposely set it out differently and put more information to make it look more impressive than it really is. For example, take the FA Cup winners comparison. For Newcastle: For Rovers: There are six FA Cup wins for each, but clearly the Newcastle wins have been listed vertically to make the list look much bigger than that of Rovers, while he has also included a listing of the clubs that lost in Newcastle's case. It's a clear deception, which demonstrates that Paddyk's grandstanding is bankrupt.

And fully well-deserved too.

Eek. Sorry if it has been mentioned before, but who wore the captain's armband against Bolton? I didn't notice it on anyone...
