What a fun, fun, fun match.

Also if ever anybody had hopes of being a professional footballer just phone up somebody in the premier league and tell them you're a Full back/Centre back/anywhere in defence and you'll no doubt have a chance.

Aye Pete lad, wait til you win something first.

Red men looked good today. Should have had 8 today, but that's par for the course. West Brom fans are fucking awful.

They don't really have fans, do they? They just give free tickets to peeps on the street it seems. Luis is starting to really turn it on, but you feel he can be even better with his finishing. Carroll is beginning to click as well. Chelsea away isn't the kindest of draws, but as today has shown us, this ain't Jose's Chelsea. It ain't even Scolari's.

I love the league's recent increased nature of chaos and volatility. Pretty much it's the two Manchester clubs and 4-6 pretty good teams that have a horror show in them once every other month or so.

Oh, and we've got Inter-Juventus in an hour or so. Juve should win this one as they've been Italy's best so far this season and Inter are still awful.

Edit: Dammit! The game's already started but it's on tape delay on The Score in Canada. :/

Juve up 1-0.

Ole Solskjaer's Molde have basically won the first Norwegian title in their history (they finished 11th last year). They drew 2-2 so Rosenborg would still be in with a chance if they beat Brann. At the time of writing Rosenborg are losing 6-1.

20LEGEND, KISS MY FACE.

EDIT: Finished 6-3, :-D.

Hilariously, El-Hadji Diouf is off to Doncaster Rovers on a 90-day deal.  Let's see how he does on a cold night in Barnsley...

City are really going for Yernited's jugular. First money, then trophies, now the lifeblood of Manchester United is under siege. The gloryhunters.

Nice to see Demba Ba can score on a cold night in Stoke. Time to cancel the rest of the season, Newcastle is in an automatic qualifier spot for the Champions League....

I guess they didn't get the memo they're supposed to aim for 10th. This is certainly interesting. Demba Ba was great for Hoffenheim, so it's not surprising to see him do well in England... but this well?

Spare a thought for Stoke as they have to go all the way to Israel for their Europa League tie Thursday night, then all the way back to England for the Bolton match on Sunday. That's hideous.

Honestly, I just wanted them to get to 40 points and avoid relegation. Sitting 3rd at the end of October is nice, at least until you look at the next four games....

I'm not looking forward to future storylines involving {Cena} and his feuds taking up time that could be utilized to showcase good in ring talent like Paul London, Brian Kendrick, Trevor Murdoch, Super Crazy and on and on that we never get to see have a match past two minutes or at all. - Skytwister
