the day mourinho left was one of the best in scottish football.

Was that the match where Carvalho hauled down Valdez, allowing Terry a clear shot at goal? Or the match with the "Lampard Luck" cross goal which was actually so amazing and memorable because it is rare to see him scoring without the aid of a wild deflection?

the look on the overseas gloryhunters' faces when they realised they couldn't win at home for once was brilliant. and the 'has been' real madrid taking the title from them at the end of the season topped it off. as for lampards goal, it was one of his best, if gerrard, rooney, owen (at the moment), fluffy, goofy, that diving weak b*stard from porto, kaka or ronaldo (both) had of scored it. it would of probably killed zidanes goal in the final a few years ago, and would of been the greatest goal ever!!11 etc.. but it was simply crap becuase of who it was.

poor saha, he was lucky not to have his legs broken in that one (!)

that avram grant is just a puppet anyway, abramovich is probably making the final descision on the team and knows nothing about football. why employ a manager like mourinho, who won loads of trophys in the short time that he was there. and not leave him to do his job? what a tit, mourinho must of been having the time of his life watching that yesterday.

a pleasent suprise for me so far this season has been charles n'zogbia. when duff arrived last year i thought it would unsettle him and he would move on. but with allardyce coming in he has discovered that he can play at left back and the guy has loads of pace as well, 3 goals from that position so far this season. riise eat your heart out.

to be honest crouch sounded a bit up his own arse when liverpool played toulouse. he missed loads of chances and apparently he was waving to his friends not the fans when he did manage to get a goal.

and he sounded well critical of rafa in the interview after, he needs to remember who stuck by him when liverpool first bought him when even the liverpool fans wern't so keen on him.

Can't really blame the keeper, isn't that how football's played in italy? So much as a hard stare will have an opponent rolling around on the floor clutching some part of his anatomy. Corrupt cheats the lot of them.

it does make me wonder though, it seems the key to sucsess. world cup and the champions leauge are there. why get injured trying to play like michael owen when you can get hit by the ball and pretend you have a broken leg.

people like him just seem to have no shame. the celtic fan should of run back and kicked him to give him a legit reason to be stretchered off.

did rafa leave riise on the bench this time again? i know he cant help players' forms but why he left him out of the champions leauge game last week is beyond me. he is one of the best wingers around for me (even though they play him at full back half the time).

i love how all the magpie fans are now going to act like it is the end of the world. i dont think we'll be playing west brom and plymouth next season but this cant happen again. knowing us we will roll over and let it happen every game for the next month and avoid relegation by a point or something. it is the last thing we needed with monster games like scumderland and birmingham coming up as well.

we were beaten fairly by an in form pompey, but i guess it is all michael owens fault. not taking into account the defence playing like last season again. the f*ckwits on the bbc boards are pointing the finger squarley at him again even though cacapa played like he was 40 years old. but on the other hand, owen does look like he has lost complete interest in what is going on.

they all deserve every bit of blasting sam gives them though.

A hearty congratulations to Carlisle Utd for beating Leeds 3-1:) only spoiled by moronic "fans" on both sides fighting in a few of the pubs in town

Liverpool were still pants and Kuyt couldn't score in a brothel at the minute. If him and voranin start on tuesday we're stuffed.

    • I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right! 
    • Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!
    • Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.
    • If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.
    • The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!
    • What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.
    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
