He reads from a script and his constant use of poetic or latin phrases is both unnatural and annoying. 

Yeah, I heard him spouting away to impress his co-commentator in one game talking about a famous composer and I suspected he'd got his facts totally wrong - I did a quick check on line and found he was talking out of his backside. His opening lines for matches are clearly scripted in advance. Nothing wrong with that but he does go totally over the top.

I hope they get worn out in ET then we can catch them

Just the 5 for Haaland with 4 KDB assists

He's just a bit clinical isn't he!

Luton have given the best account of themselves compared to the other 2 promoted sides this year, but up against the best they are so, so limited and so out of their depth in a defensive point of view.

Great that Bournemouth go out. Pissy little club that threw the FA cup

[whelk]

Portsmouth home and hosed after tonight’s results

[Bakovnetski]

Blackburn giving it  real go. Like the look of some of their team.

[Whitey Grandad]

The draw for the next round is tomorrow evening at 7pm so we shall know before kickoff if it’s worth thrashing Liverpool or not.

11 games to go Barnsley and Peterborough have two games in hand on them, the four teams below them are about to go on an unstoppable run and pompey will implode FACT

Still to play 7 of the 9 teams directly below them during the run in - Bolton, Barnsley, Derby, Peterboro, Oxford, Blackpool and Lincoln. If anybody can piss it away they can

Leicester game being moved means we get longer rest 20 days? to get Fraser back fit

Well, unless we win tomorrow. 

[whelk]

Just need Geordies to go out on pens now

[hypochondriac]

Shane we got Liverpool really. If we had avoided one of the big guns, we would have had a good chance of making the semis or final given how many have gone out. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Pens between Newcastle and Blackburn

Blackburn miss their first one and Newcastle score.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Poor guy struggling with an injury littered squad, for a club running up against the profit and sustainability rules put in by the big boys. It's a heart breaking tale.

[rallyboy]

Why was the Newcastle keeper allowed off his line to save the final penalty?

The ref had two jobs, blow whistle, watch keeper's feet.

Maybe you have your answer there. It was blatant. Let’s hope it wasn’t the pressure of getting the game finished so that the BBC News could go ahead.

Chelsea fans must be falling out of love with Poch. 1-0 down to Leeds

[East Kent Saint]

Lemina scores for Wolves !

[East Kent Saint]

Leeds level again 2-2 

[Ekelund]

Huddersfield 1 up…

[obelisk]

Hudds down to 10 men.

[AlexLaw76]

Red for Huddersfield

Oh well

[OttawaSaint]

Dammit! 

[Mixedkebab]

Deserved red but the “luck” tends to go Leeds way, so many bad challenges against Saints this season gone unpunished.

Hogg is a big player for Hudds as well

For example the one on Edozie that crocked him for a while

[Charlie Wayman]

That red was one of the most appalling and stupid I've seen, deliberate assault on the Leeds player in front of the ref.

Presumably the ref reports what he saw so hopefully there will be other sanctions on the Huddersfield player from the FL.

Made a bit of money, I'm sure, by popping on a fiver for Leeds to win whilst Leeds were 1-0 down.

Easy money.

If Leeds drop two points that puts a bit of pressure on Ipswich to take their chance, then they choke and lose, and then we fucking steam on in there on the back of a 4-0 annihilation of Birmingham.

Just been having a look at a map of Southampton City Centre trying to work through the ideal open top bus route.

Result!!

The start of the Leeds blip then.

[The Cat]

Weird that Leeds only drew against a team who only had 10 players for the second half who we scored 5 against when they had 11.

Especially strange as there's been so many posts stating Leeds were on an unstoppable march to automatic promotion because they don't drop points against teams near the bottom.

It's almost as if winning a football match isn't as easy as people make out.

It's fucking easy, just play the right players, play on the front foot, don't make silly mistakes and take your chances.

Easy... Right?

We’ve already lost on penalties to Hull in the playoffs, keep up.

Of course. Silly me. Definitely not buying a ticket to the play off final if we get there and play Hull because it will be a waste.
