I think it's giving me headaches, too.

Movement is OK.
But flashing is a no go with me.
Asparagus makes them right.
Slow and steady movement. No one gets ill from his avatars.

Mine made mini Bex laugh.
I'd hate to see what flashing Toure would do to him.

What are you trying to say, Rick?

I say I love your avatar, friend.
I feel empowered each time I look at it.

Sorry, friend.
I haven't seen a q-tip in a while.
I thought you were saying something else.

I just watched the Toby in Las Vegas video.
I'm not sure about anything anymore.

Hrn. Needs a little bit of vomit, methinks.

That flashy stuff really was annoying.

I've never been happier to see an Arsenal avatar before.

Haven't organised anything for tonight. Considering we only have one central defender fit or not suspended, who happens to be Younes Krapoul, I'm not prepared for anyone I know to witness my inevitable plunge into abyssal despair.

Wise decision.

Tonight I watched one of the greatest Premier League matches ever. I left a mate's Buck's Night early to make it.

1-1 at halftime, I lazily waltzed upstairs to change clothes and threw on my Tottenham shirt.

Did I know such a move would prepare myself for 8 second half goals? I fucken wish.

Berbatov slotted a lazy four. Spurs look stunning. I need to go to bed.

So there was mindless football abound and absolutely no tactics, suspense, intelligence or defence to speak of? Sounds a bit boring. I'd have left after four.

Sounds like you should be watching Serie A or that tripe from Scotland.

I watch Italian football and Spanish and South American when I can. 9/10ths of the Premiership teams play insipid football. Only worth watching Manu and Arsenal and occasionally Portsmouth.

Portsmouth play dire counterattacking crap. Their recent home form shows that. When they have to force the play nothing happens. Yawnfests galore.

If you can't see a 10 goal game for the enjoyment it entails, then it's bad luck for you. It feels like you argue with people simply because you have nothing better to do. Whatever. Be the stock-standard bungelfever miser.

There was a funny bit in the SMH actual paper yesterday about how rubbish defending, and the consequent end-to-end attacking football (following the 5-4 Sydney vs Mariners game), will help football to prosper in Australia. I can't find it online, but it was pretty funny.

Spurs have had lousy defending all season, but lots of goals = good.

Doesn't surprise me. That was a pretty good match (notably Santalab's goal), but some of the finishing last night from Berbatov and co. was simply sublime.

There's a difference between having lousy defending and having no defenders fit, mind you. Possibly the major reason all those goals rained in was King had to be substituted off early in the second half because he really shouldn't be playing. There's just no alternative at the moment with Dawson, Rocha and Gardner all out, and even the temporary stopgap Zokora suspended. Kaboul's looked a lot better over the last month, although he's still prone to giving it away cheaply trying to over-ambitiously play killer balls through the midfield.

He's just had no help.

Oh, and I still stick by my drunken tirade regarding Pompey. They are woeful, and it'll be interesting to see what happens to them when they lose Muntari, Benjani, Utaka and Bouba Diop next month.

Cracking game. Was like a porn film with nothing but cum shots.

Sounds like Berbatov is on his way out.
But you could probably buy a new defense for the cash he brings in.

There there, John.
You've still got huge feet and a lovely set of bongos.

When there's more than money-grubbing agents trying to stir up the newspapers I'd be happy to give the Berbatov thing more credit. Good players in struggling teams are always subjects of this during January. Newcastle, of course, is immune. I admit Chelsea particularly need strikers desperately, though.

Or perhaps my good mood can't be dampened considering Liverpool basically threw away all hope they had for the Prem over the Christmas period.

...and have a bunch of wolves at their heels ready to claim a stake on that CL berth.

Oh god yes please, anything for a bit of variety.

English football is getting predictable.

If I were Alex, I wouldn't touch Berbatov. The fucker has no spine.
