Kopenhagen were a lot tamer than I thought, maybe the lack of match practice ? because they were pretty abysmal in the first half, I thought they'd use the freshness against us as we just played 120minutes.

Decent performance from us, still a bit slow for my liking but largely in control, might just be because of the opposition though. Anelka was clinical, can't say the same for Torres but I thought he was alright really.

And just as important, Spurs dropping points :)

At least he's getting in position for chances - more clinical with time hopefully.

They haven't played a competitive match in 2 months, the training matches they'd arranged to get in shape was against really weak teams.... And they played like shit :)

Blackpool just dont give a fuck. Thats the way they play football and its refreshing. They just attack attack attack. They have no plan B

I disagree Marc. Your description is more akin to WBA. Blackpool know when to shut up shop, and they can do a pretty good job of it.

LOL, you what Bahu? Have you seen them play, or are you confusing Blackpool with Blackburn?

Blackpool tried to shut up shop once, against Chelski, they got raped, and haven't attempted since.

Blackpool only know how to attack, they lack organisation trying to do anything else. Kingston kept them in the game against Spurs, it could easily have been a 3-7 scoreline to spuds.

ye thast's usually the problem with newly promoted teams, like Reading when they came up. Followed up by a dreadful season.

Hmm, when I do that predictor it misses a Spurs v Arsenal game for some reason.

I get UTD to pip Arsenal to the post on goal difference. Followed by Chelsea 3rd and Tottenham 4th.

UTD 87 Points +51 GD
Arsenal 87 Points +43 GD
Chelsea 76 Points +40 GD
Spurs 72 Points +18 GD
Shitty 67 Points +21 GD

Bottom

West Brom 31 Points -28 GD
West Ham 28 Points -29 GD
Wolves 28 Points -31 GD (Sorry Everz!)

Impossible to predict any huge scores or upsets though.

Meh.. After this weekend i'll either be blindingly optimistic or cutting the losses and focusing on getting back up at the first time of asking.

Financially doing the yo yo would be better for you than staying up

Finance isn't an issue, we have alot of money. Just the wrong players have been bought and Mick honestly isn't trustworthy with a big transfer budget.
