Perhaps 'reduce' would be a more realistic prospect? lol

Failed my resolution for 2009 just about 2 weeks ago... I make the same resolution every year - Never spill my beer* *beer - anything I consume containing alcohol... this could be anything from john smiths through to single malt. Step son asked me for a juice, so as the kitchen was full with adults talking, I went to make the juice for him rather then him getting under everyone's feet. The cordial bottle was wet, slipped out my hand and hit the only thing on the counter, my beer. Granted there was only a couple mouthfuls in the bottle, but even so, beer is beer and I hang my head in shame for this disgraceful error!! I will, however, attempt to redeem myself by taking on the same resolution for 2010. I also aim to stop the mrs spending!!!! :icon_santa:

The stuffing from spurs was their only stuffing this season, and they should have in fact lost by a bigger margin. Of that there is no doubt. But their only other defeat was a very very close one to Manchester Utd. They have beaten Chelsea and Arsenal this season too. You can;t be a serious contender for a top 4 finish if you cant battle in these big games. Hughes has/had got them doing that

I'm not trying to cause an argument, but just want to ask all those who are in agreement with the decision to sack Mark Hughes this one question... Would you say the same thing about the sacking of Gareth Southgate from Middlesborough? The reason i ask is simple - although he didnt spend 200m on players, the board decided to rid themselves of his services because they were not clear at the top of their respective league. They have since taken on a new manager and they now sit well off the pace that Newcastle and West Brom have set. 14th place and 17 points off Newcastle. (Come on, only 4 points above Coventry Nil - thats drastically poor... lol) Mark Hughes was heading in the right direction IMO. I very much doubt the likes of TtotheOtotheM were complaining about Adebayor before his suspention period? He'd scored in almost every game up to that. Mark Hughes signed one of the best keepers in todays game in Shay Given; one of the most under rated keepers ever to play the game i recon, and before Lescot was injured, you could say that the City defence was pretty solid. He kept people with the club at heart and made them better, i of course refer to steven ireland, and brought in one of the best players in the world in Robinho.

I disagree with your comment starchief and here's why... it doesnt matter how much money you have, it takes time and consistancy to get anywhere in this sport. you can't just splash millions and expect them to become good overnight. Look at chelsea. it took them 2 seasons under their owner to win a domestic trophy, and when they did win it was under the same manager. Once he was gone, they've had 1 trophy under 4 different managers yet the money still remains. Man city should never have gotten rid of Sven - he had 1 full season in charge and was dumped like last nights chicken massala. Having said that, Mark Hughes, IMO, has been fantastic. He's brought in decent players and got them to their first semi-final since the mid 60's. He's also only lost 2 games this season in the league (less than man utd and liverpool) and sit in a decent postion of 6th. Disgusting behaviour by a 'huge club' that aim to be 'going places'...

unlucky caleykid1994... MrsJnr usually does random picks too, but i forgot today to put it on for her. I dont think i've had a win at the bookies for a while. somethings not right with the world... :023:

comeback complete for charlton - 3-2 up on millwall now... not that i care.... (apart from a couple quid at bookies of course)

fulham 2-0 man u scum 3-2 airdrie

Some might say (and no i wont sing oasis) that 3 points is a must today. Now personally, i would have taken a draw at the start of todays match as dunfirmline are a good side, but considering Morton are holding Dundee currently, we really do need a goal to take advantage and close the gap. A wee boost before boxing day!

We'll do them at new year, not a problem!!! keep the faith

charlton have just equalised too after going 2 down to millwall - and millwall have had a bloke sent off

make that scum 2 airdrie 2 and cty 3-2 sunderland. lol
