Hi all
Im on a downswing since the 27th March ...
Could not hit a barn door from 2 yards ( bit like Andy Cole in his prime ) ...
Im also suffering from hitting 2nd pair - itus on just about every flop i see and it never improves even though someone allways flops top pair 
And also im showing symptoms of A on the turn - itus .. when everyone floats my c-bet with Ax ... i swear its happening way too often ..
Im also only ever hitting sets with AA or KK
Ive switched off chat mode on the tables .. so thought id moan here instead .. 
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh .. i feel better now .....
thank you very much for your time ... good bye .

I doubt it'll be easy but hopefully we'll get an early goal. I'm feeling dog rough at the moment and it was touch and go whether I'd make it tonight, I think I'll get a cab down. I got soaked to the skin before the Villa game after walking to OT. Don't fancy that again with the cough I've got.
I doubt it'll match last season's game against them or the Liverpool/Arsenal game last night (fantastic game.....I thought Arsenal were going to massacre Liverpool ; they were awesome the first 20 minutes.) |

I think it might be a drab game .. just have the feeling United will try and cruise through the game and have one eye on Arsenal .... Im not expecting a classic
Arsenal are far better than Liverpool IMO .... Liverpool just getting the rub of the green lately with some referee decisions ..
Not to upset my good friend hawk .... but i want Liverpool to beat Chelsea !
For 2 reasons really .... one - they would be easier to beat than Chelsea in the final ..
and two .... A Man United v Liverpool euro final is just a huge occasion for any United / Liverpool fan ....
We buggered it up last season .. when Liverpool did their bit . but we lost to Milan .... I soooo hope we dont do it again against Barca !
A United v Liverpool final should have a national bank holiday straight after it IMO .. it would be that big !
Win or lose ... i doubt i would see much of the following day anyway ..
PS ... Ive just won 2 buy ins in 100 mins .... yeah baby .... its going to be a good day .. |

In a game where Utd need to do nothing but avoid conceeding, it's a bit concerning that 1 and potentially 2 (Rio doubtful at time of writing) of the solid back 4 are injured.
In saying that, they'll probably score early and lock the tie up.
3rd time is the charm for Chelsea though. |

Having learned by now to expect nothing, I am remarkably relaxed about the whole thing. I was surprisingly sanguine following the defeat on penalties and will be even more so should the unfathomable (inevitable?) happen again this time. |

Hope you feel better now. I usually feel that way when it's a league game with Rooney & Ronnie on the bench because we have a big cup game coming up.
I didn't have time to worry about the line-up as I only sat down about one minute before kick-off and missed the team being read out. But I wasn't overly concerned, just glad to see Rio was playing. It wasn't until about 5 mins into the game that I noticed Silvestre was back. Hargreaves & Park were fantastic and Tevez just kept going (I swear he must run about all day and in his sleep.....I'm just waiting for a new Duracell ad with him in). I thought we were going to be fine. Even when Roma got their penalty I wasn't too concerned as I felt we would win the game.
I was just saying to my girlfriend what a great tackle Wes had made, when the ref pointed to the spot. Now I'm not that close to the action (front of 3rd tier North Stand) but you could tell by the direction of the ball that it was a clean tackle. I was stunned. Now everyone likes to try and put the penalty taker off but it seemed that everyone felt it was such a poor decision that the vitriol was even more intense. It was almost physical and I'm not suprised he missed.
I usually make a lot of noise during a game, and though a lousy singer, try to sing throughout...but last night I was ill and the 174 steps up to my seat had wiped me out (yes, I'm sad enough to have counted them) so i just sat in silence willing him to miss.........on a sidenote, it takes a lot of effort to boo, I mean REALLY boo....try it, make sure there's no-one around and boo as loud as you can for 2 or 3 minutes. Not only do you feel ridiculous ' ' but it's really hard work. Cheering and singing are so much easier. Rather like a frown  taking more muscles than a smile  . It's times like that that I wish I could do one of those whistles with 2 fingers in your mouth.........
So the ref hadn't exactly endeared him self to the crowd ('F*** off Uncle Fester you fat c***' was the reply from a seat behind me) but it didn't matter in the end. I'm really looking forward to the Barcelona game now. It's a shame I won't get to see Ronaldhino play (though it gives us a better chance) .
It was great to see Gary Neville back on the pitch. Everyone was delighted every time he got the ball. |

This is so good ... its going to be my new signature ...
Agree with you about Hargreaves and Park .... both had a great game ... Ive allways liked Park ... he never lets us down and has an eye for a killer pass too ..
As for Hargreaves ... could he be our next right back ? I think him and Ronaldo could cause chaos down that flank ...
Giggs .. on the other hand ... is going through a nightmare patch .... I think Nani might take his place for the Barcelona game ..
And finally Tevez .... IMO the jury is still out on him ... hes done well ... but im not sure hes as good as maybe a Berbatov ....and i would much rather see Benzema there next season ...
Overall last night .. I thought we played quite well ... I should have more faith in the squad players |

I like the image of loads of ITHers sat in front of their computers booing. It might end up as a good cure for tilt. |
