The "inny" slot for your card also looks like a "outy" little bump with the scanner in it like the scanners for my card at work.

The diagram on the back on the card seems to bear fuck all resemblence to what you actually do, which may have slowed down the less innovative fans.

Carr, aside from obviously being bowel-shatteringly slow, seems to have lost all faith in his ability so he backed off, backed off, backed off, backed off, "Oh, look I'm in the box. Might as well have a shot or cross then."

At 4:50 the queues at the east stand were fucking massive where I was trying to get in, never seen them that big. Some 13 year old lass in a stewards jacket was trying to get people to move into other queues that might have been slightly shorter. But then that was mostly because there wasn't enough room to join the queue.

Hmm. We lacked any real drive from midfield and didn't get forwards enough. Hopefully Barton's return will help that. Owen coming on did nowt because we weren't making any chances, at least Oba would have been running around. Not a tragedy though and the people booing at the end are morons. All of this has probably already been said.

Fuckin hell, a brace by Steed in the first 6 mins.

Well I don't finish work till 4:30. Maybe if I email him he'll post me a pint to make up for it.

Benjani nearly scored in this game as well. Better keep it up, he's now in my fantasy team...

Wouldn't mind taking aim at Diouf's heed myself. Some mackem-toon bickering in the texts on the BBCs live updates http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/6948793.stm

Mine too. Bollocks. 1-0 Bolton.

No doubt that Major Major character off the SMB will still spin this into another sign of certain financial doom.

Sky Sports fact machine: Newcastle's last home win was against Liverpool in February. Villa haven't won their first away match since 1999.

If they've seriously got those flappy about things that look like Shola jumping for a header I hope people give them some shit. If there's music after a goal I want an immediate riot, or at least a sustained chorus of "What the fuckin hell was that?"

Yeah, it's hard to have an atmosphere when you've got Girls Aloud blaring in your face.

Propafan, propafan, only does what a propa fan does, Does he swing, around a scarf? Shat it mush, yer 'avin a larf, Does he take, off his shoes? Does he fuck, listen yous Look out! Here comes a Propafan! So if you are a Skyboy Shoes off or balti pie boy, Branded club watch and tie boy, You'll face a Propafaaan....

1 free transfer a week,unless he's already used it up, Sorry for the caps Yes. And -4 points for every transfer after that. So minus 4 points for 2 transfers, one for free and one costing 4 points.

NO MINUS FOUR POINTS THOUGH

Only 4000? Gonna keep mine to put on ebay as a collectors item.

I do hope he gets better, plays and scores goals. I certainly don't blame him for the injuries and he's done little to warrant a lot of the flack as well. Much like Woodgate though it just gets to the point where you've got to laugh about it.

Yeah, me too. I really hope Owen doesn't get a game. Doesn't really matter, you'd only have to watch him for 10 minutes before an unexpected gust of wind makes both his legs drop off anyway.

Fuck it, kneejerk wildcard playing time. Off you fucking go Jagielka, Nemi, Baines, Jenas, Berbatov and Carvalho, you're not fit to wear the shirt you useless overpaid twats. You too Ronaldo, although I may grudgingly take you back once your suspension's finished...

Hope so, reckon that'd be the best time for it looking at the fixtures - beatable teams, mostly at home.

After a lot of wheedling I've managed to change my shift and finish just in time to get to the ground Does mean starting work at 8:30 though and I'm back in at 5am on Sunday so I'm going to have to go easy on the pints after the match. Got a good feeling about this one, reckon there's going to be a fuckload of noise at kick off because we've had absolutely bollocks all to shout about for ages and there's a new optimism. Hopefully that'll spur the team to get stuck right in from the off and that in turn will keep the fans going in a positive feedback loop that will eventually destroy the universe, or at least slap Villa right across the face with a metaphorical big football cock.

every two years mate. Well, season before last then I mean when in the season can we expect him to be whisked away?

When is the cup like? Remember it knobbling my fantasy team as well last season.
