INTERNET (8:57:11 PM): So I give up on Newcastle United. They are dead to me and will end up just like Leeds United in the near future, I'm affraid. Most of the guys I liked the most are now playing for West Ham now, so UP THE IRONS! Hopefully they'll be blowing pretty bubbles on Wednesday against your Citizens!
ME (8:57:30 PM): jesus
ME (8:57:34 PM): you can't switch like that!
INTERNET (8:57:54 PM): sure I can!
INTERNET (8:58:05 PM): I'm a Green Street HOOLIGAN!
ME (8:58:13 PM): groce
INTERNET (8:58:25 PM): hahaha
INTERNET(8:58:46 PM): If I ever said that to anyone in East Ham, I'd probably get knifed.
INTERNET (8:59:23 PM): hehe
INTERNET (9:02:32 PM): I will never, ever give up on my Houston Dynamo, though. They are my blood and I can understand a footie fan's passion.

I can't quite tell if he was being serious or not.

RTÉ Sport: Berbatov 'fed up' with media frenzy

Tottenham Hotspur striker Dimitar Berbatov is growing tired of the continued speculation over his future with the London club and wants to be left alone by the media.

Burnley v Arsenal - Boring
Luton v Liverpool - Shit
Stoke v Newcastle - dreadful.
