This has been as close to a perfect football weekend as I could have hoped for.

That Ronaldo sending off was outrageous. He clearly should have walked ten minutes earlier for his sarcastic clap at his first booking.

Best player in the world? The guy isn't fit to lace Lionel Messi's boots. Hell, he's not even the best player at Man United.

[Yudster]

He was very lucky not to get his second yellow seconds after his first, I agree. Talk about asking for it. As for the "controversial" second yellow - how is that controversial? Ok. he thought play had stopped, but the fact is it hadn't. It wasn't a deliberate handball in terms of him trying to gain an advantage, but it was a "deliberate handball" as far as the game is concerned, and the ref did the only thing he could, there were no options on that one at all.

I don't care though,we beat Northampton and thats all that matters!

[chrysostom]

It's controvertial because it was Ronaldo. Because it was world player of the year or whatever jazz he's getting. If it were Titus Bramble it would be hilarious, but no - serious business...

[Yudster]

Well, its not like he hasn't been sent off before - occasionally in far more controversial circumstances. Silly arse anyway.

Well done West Ham by the way. The second half of the season is beginning to look a little more interesting than I thought it was going to be.

So glad we are having our bad spell and still top,i don't expect Liverpool to win the league but i hope we are still near the top and have a chance to win it in April

[Munki Bhoy]

C'mon Blackburn, finish the job on the top four tonight! Burnley have done half the work themselves!

[S4B]

But at least we got through!

[S4B]

Probably best for your health not to but you never know Lottie, never say never.

[S4B]

Hahaha! You know what I mean, silly!

[MK Chris]

See, if I'd made that comment you'd have got a strop on and told me to * off.

[S4B]

I only did that cos you annoyed me!

[Yudster]

But at least we got through!

"We"?! Oh really! You aren't pretending to actually give a toss about football just because your boyfriend's team looks like doing ok in a big competition now are you? You are?! Wow!

[MK Chris]

Haha, just admit you probably know less about football than I do and get on with it S4B.

[Yudster]

I certainly didn't mean her husband, if thats what you mean Char.

[Munki Bhoy]

There's something depressing about knowing you're going to a Champions League game tonight and knowing that no matter what happens it will make absolutely no odds - it's your last until the summer.

Maybe Villarreal will thump us and stop Man United winning the group. That would at least be amusing.

[S4B]

Haha, just admit you probably know less about football than I do and get on with it S4B.

Probably best to be honest although I do actually still have a thing for John Terry! Does that count as knowing stuff about football?

[Johnny Karate]

Yes yes, it WAS a close up of me invading the pitch after last nights Blyth Spartans victory in the FA cup, can we let it go now please?... yes it was on setanta... what?.... I don't know, someone probably did Sky + it, stop bugging me about it.

[foot-loose]

... well? Can we see it then?

[Johnny Karate]

I'll try and get it off my mate Terry, it's on his Sky +. Apparently I look like Dick Van Dyke......... on TV, not every day... I hope.

[foot-loose]

I'll try and get it off my mate Terry

What about you at the football?

[Bruvva]

Champions League draw

Chelsea v Juventus
Villareal v Panathinaikos
Sporting v Bayern Munich
Atletico Madrid v Porto
Lyon v Barcelona
Real Madrid v Liverpool
Arsenal v Roma
Inter v Man Utd

[Munki Bhoy]

Yay, I can dig out the Jose parody again!

Hopefully Chelsea and Liverpool will also fall. Depends which Roma turns up, but we could get all four English clubs out at this stage.

Not that it matters, the way they're going Barca are going to skoosh it this year.

[Munki Bhoy]

Does anyone else think football has gone down the pan if these teams competing in the Club World Cup in Japan are the best the world can offer?

[Yudster]

No - but I do think that competition went down the pan years ago. They really should stop trying to resurrect something that has been dead and stinking for ages.
