Woo, a Defoe Hatrick takes us to the dizzy heights of 7th (until Charlton beat Fulham today)

Still, means that defeat against Norwich or Palace will make people laugh that much harder...

Yay. Football today, folks.

Festive cheer from the ever-ebullient Jose Mourinho...

"I wish you and your family every misery this Christmas".

"You people are pigs".

"Please. Take me, Lord".

We shall discuss this again Sickboy, at around 3:30pm on New Years Day

</Chelsea being my adopted English team>

Sickers,

do you hate Mourinho more than Fergie? Go on, do you, do you, do you?

Haha. Never. I just saw a succession of pictures of Mourinho in Chelsea web-stories over the last few days and he looks like a miserable, lofty cunt in every single one.

The Drunken Tramp will always be my key figure of irrational football hatred.

Zen-Chan... We shall.

Knowing us, we'll beat Chelsea but lose to West Brom and Southampton.

For the first few weeks of the season it was looking like Moaninho would overtake Fergie in the annoying manager stakes, but I'm now kind of warming to his glass-half-empty attitude.

But as an antidote to that, my favourite manager comment:

Interviewer: "Walter, what was the problem?"
Walter Smith: "The problem was that by half-time we were so far behind we needed snookers."

Bloody hell, we're winning!

Plenty time for them to rectify that, of course.

OH FOR F**K'S SAKE.

This is stupid. Someone get out the cliche bat and beat into our team
"IT... IS... A... GAME... OF... TWO... HALVES"

Something's seriously wrong behind closed doors there. There must be some bad apples that need to be weeded out or something, because there's no way a team with this quality of players should be under-performing so badly. Even accounting for the fact we've got the worst defence in the Premier League, we should still be out-scoring at least half of the teams we play. They're a disgrace at the moment.

Haha. Great save from the West Brom player, there.

Shite penalty, though.

They're rubbish. Gotta kill this game off as soon as possible in the second half...

The only redeeming thing about West Brom's team is that they've got a bloke called Contra playing for them. Does he play wearing a bandana?

I still can't believe they actually appointed Bryan Robson as manager, either. He must be the most dull, uncharasmatic bloke in football. I know he did pretty much everything as a player, but I can't see how he could motivate anyone, much less a struggling team.

Haha. He was sent off.

I know. It's always relaxing to stroll it like this - even sweeter when the other team is managed by one of Man Utd's most creamed-over players.

Once they've gone from the hallowed halls of Old Trafford, they are soon forgotten.

Bryan WHO? Spells his name like a puff.

Only thing that McClaren does is make F1 cars, and they are shit.

Brian Kidd? George Best won the European Cup.

Liverpool got enough points to avoid releagation yet?

(seriously, great result, even if I do agree that West Brom are dire. Five goals away from home is a top result).
