Jimmy Bullard

Long time readers (well Chris O) will know that I have nothing but love for one James Bullard. He's quality on the field and off.

Was glad to see that he scored an injury time winner against Villa for Fulham today. Have been looking for a youtube clip but can't find it.

In lieu of that, here's a video of the legend himself in dirty laundry with someone's jock strap on his head.. I do hope it was his.

West Ham 1 - 0 Liverpool

Jamie Carragher is a thug. How many times has he gotten away with dirty tricks in the box and not conceded a penalty? While it is heartbreaking to drop to 7th place in such a fashion, it's a well deserved win for the Hammers who just outplayed Liverpool all night.

I reckon though that Liverpool will probably still finish 4th because Everton really don't have the depth and Villa and City will "fall apart" at the end of the season. City is already starting (a draw away to Derby?? jesus).

Watch this space for some more indepth posts on a couple of topics screaming to get out of my head tomorrow.

Cupset

I like the word Cupset as coined on 606 this morning to refer to Cup Upsets. It's kind of cute at it's actually very Beeb.

The Cupset I am the MOST excited about is Oldham over Everton AT Goodison. As I've mentioned before, Oldham is a team I've got a bit of a soft-spot for. This increases my chances of getting to see Oldham on television in the US. Actually the past couple of years I have been able to see them a couple of times. Once in the FA Cup two years back and the league one promotion playoffs last year. Since they've got zero chance of being promoted, this is the only possibility.

FootieNeighbor's funeral was this morning so I missed a lot of the 3pm matches. I did get to watch Villa v Man United tho. I was bored to tears for most of it. Villa squandered some real opportunities including Ashley Young's "harder to miss than make" shot. United of course nicked 2 goals in the dying breaths making for a 2-0 scoreline that does not really reflect just how well Villa did.

I'd like to see an Oldham / United derby at Boundary Park. Because it would be good for Oldham $$$$ wise, and of course the possibility of the Ginja Ninja playing against Oldham is as exciting as the possibility of him playing FOR Oldham even for the most casual supporters.
