Re: Why Vincent Kompany was sent off at Chelsea
Maybe, like most winners, he's a bad loser. Maybe the pressures of management are different enough to make him snap. Maybe the referees are so much worse now than when he was playing that in his mind the ref must be a cheat, lest he be utterly incompetent. Maybe the referee is a cheat. FWIW, I think...

Re: Relegation Run-In
The trouble Luton have is that all of their opponents will be expecting to win and will see them as an easy way to climb up a few million quid. e.g Everton could find a way to say they actually played well enough to finish above Chelsea or some ********, and West Ham won't want to lose at home to th...

Would you swap fixtures with forest? I think we'd all swap fixtures with Luton!

Sounds doable, but would you prefer the Man City ...

Re: Tonight's football 22nd April
Neither Leeds nor Leicester will be as good as they are now in the championship next season, so I'd like them both to stay down and be big, rubbish, fish.
But whichever of them stays down, if even one does, they'll not finish top six, IMO.
