Everyone’s favourite sexists this week. Personally I was quite glad to see them go – how nice will it be to have some smug free analysis on Sky for once. Or perhaps I’m being too presumptuous and whoever replaces them will end up maintaining the previous status quo…
Silvio certainly knew who his favourite TV presenters were.

SUCCESS! Everyone’s favourite referee is this week’s theme. Stuart Attwell has been involved in more controversies than Nigel De Jong has made dirty tackles.
The most recent was getting a free kick being taken confused with a player passing back to a keeper allowing him to take it in the Sunderland Liverpool game a week or so ago.
Having seen him first hand make loads of poor decisions when watching Arsenal v Bolton earlier this season, I definitely think the guy is well out of his depth. Anyway, the entry below won 2nd place this week. Huzzah, it’s been a while!

Though originally classified as a comedy, Attwell is now considered by some critics to be one of Shakespeare's problem referees...

The longer I didn’t update this the more hassle it became but I’ve finally got round to it. Needless to say we are doing terribly and for all our talk are unlikely to finish the season ahead of Lawro, or indeed the Football Guy. He may be a decent pundit after all; still chats a lot of crap though. As always, 30 for a perfect score, 10 for a correct result, -10 for a wrong result.

As you can see, pretty poor all round. Let’s look at the breakdown between the two Sportboys.
Sportboy T:
Correct Results: 43 (430 points)
Perfect Scores: 12 (360 points)
Wrong results: 62 (-620 points)
Total: 170 points
.
Sportboy P:
Correct Results: 50 (500 points)
Perfect Scores: 9 (270 points)
Wrong results: 59 (-590 points)
Total: 180 points

Sportboy P has upped his game and it’s essentially level as he’s predicted one extra match. Personal pride is about all we have left to play for so it will be interesting to see who comes top.

Football’s ever increasing debts is the theme this week, which is no surprise with Portsmouth on the brink, Liverpool struggling to find any pennies down the back of the Hicks/Gillette sofa and the Glazers at Man Utd finding ever inventive ways to take money out of the Old Trafford coffers. With that in mind, I thought I’d use the DIY David Cameron poster to come up with something.

Personally I don't see what the issue is. Come May and it's all going to be ok...
