La la la la la la, I can't hear you.

It's Tuesday morning and I still can't bring myself to watch the Match of the Day highlights.

If I haven't watched them, Chelski still haven't won the title.

Genius. Stick on another episode of Auf Wiedersehen, Pet.

Paul Scholes finally gets his own label on the blog

After watching Match of the Day online, the date of the 18th April will now have to go down in my history book.

So that's what Paul Scholes sounds like?

I never wondered.

Ouch

Poor bastards. Burnley, I mean.

I'm not sure if the results below qualify as a 6-pointer or a 12-pointer, but my inkling that both Coyle managed clubs would be relegated this season looks like its way off beam. Thing is; you know that if Bolton were to get relegated that they're one of those clubs who would bounce back into the Premiership at some point.

Burnley? Well, they'll always have . . . damn, I can't find the wiki link for the 1959/60 season.

Christ, that away record is a car crash. They can't complain.

Football quote of the day

Ooh, I wish I'd thought of that:

"Wayne Bridge has just texted John Terry, "That's how you play away from home you ****""

That wee gem of wit comes courtesy of 'Smackhead' and the comments section of the Guardian's report of today's game.

Does that qualify as 'esprit du tunnel'?

'Did the boy with the comb over do a step over as part of the walk over?'

Nice result for Everton today. And on the back of beating Chelsea the other week.

If only they got the memo that the season starts in August rather than late November, they'd be a shoe in for the fourth place. They might still make it but it'll be close and, as they don't have much depth to their squad, they're only a couple of injuries away from the wheels coming off their recent resurgence.

I've got to ask, though: what's the deal with Dan Gosling's hair in the picture below?

Isn't 20 a bit young for a comb over? The last time I saw a haircut like that it was leading the 1984/85 Miners Strike. We all know that ended in tears and this will too. Maybe Stephen Ireland can have a word before the matter gets out of hand.

Love it

If Bullard stays fit, Hull stay up. As simple as.

Bend it like Bent

Love it.

No jokes please about beach balls, freakish goals and Liverpool having to cut short next year's summer holidays so that they can try and qualify for Europe via the backdoor.

That joke is redundant now that they've abolished the Intertoto Cup. Europa League it is.

Subbuteo figure flicks spectator

Any old excuse to dredge up one of my better jokes on the blog. No, that's not me you can hear laughing at one of own jokes: there's a Woody Woodpecker marathon playing on Nickelodeon as I write.

Maybe it's just me, but I could have sworn that the invading Man Utd supporter went to spit at Bellamy before the latter decided to give him a flick, The clip from MOTD isn't conclusive but if that's what happened, then Bellamy has a decent defence if and when he's charged by the FA.

Too surprised to blog

Michael Owen signs for Man Utd?

We're looking at the most inspired signing of the pre-season or 'Garry Birtles: The Remake'.

Blog Exclusive!: In his first act as the new Sunderland manager, Steve Bruce unveils their new kit for next season.
