Also, I totally forgot a Good, Bad, WTF for today. I'll have one on Friday. It will undoubtedly be awesome.

Oh fuck, Georger, are you serious?

Anyone else catch the crawler update on Fabregas' injury this morning on the WWL? I couldn't believe it. They spelled his name right and everything!

Merry Christmas Mr. Pennant, you greedy dick. You deserve to come off the bench at the JJB.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to everyone on this site.
