FEVER PITCH Anticipation continues to build ahead of this weekends Lockwood Cup finals, as we finally hit the triangle, but this time there'll be no Pink as the three sides run out in Black, White and Blue respectively. Much discussion has taken place in the weeks leading up to this tantalising tournament finale and the taste buds of many fans are being tickled with the prospect of such an exciting set of encounters. The games, scheduled to be played on the morning of Saturday 21st October, lend themselves to the morning larks as they start early, at 09:30 with the Whites playing host to the Blues at Estadio PowerLeagio. The Daisies have made many a change to their squad from last time out with Lockwood Cup board member @LFEE leading the line up and no doubt keen to make his mark from deep, languishing between the defence and midfield as the Whites anchor. Opposition fans seemingly opting to shorten this position in their unsavoury rapport. Meanwhile, all isn't changed whilst there remains @Theregulars. No doubt looking to pick the lock, @Nees will be the midfield monster. Moving onto the Blues, rumour has it that @Sewelly is under fire following digging up the penalty spot during training in an act that he thought was Purely Belter and likewise @Danh1 and @IanW are under review for illegal betting on the height of @NEEJ, who apparently wore studded boots last season so to fix successful punts for his fellow Bluepers. Whether they manage to field a side remains to be seen, but if they do, the Blue Tits will be looking to fly to victory. And finally, we have The Black's. They'll be looking to capitalise on fatigued opposition when they first run out in front of the vocal Lockwood crowd. Will The Dementors steal the trophy with @Slim pickings against superior opposition? Who knows, but what we do know is The Daisies and Tits will have to enter the dark side to snatch wins with @Yorkie performances and prove that their sides are not for girls.

[To the tune for "You to me are everything"] Sandro really loves a bet, He blasts it all on the Roullette, Tonali, Tonali To you he's just a centre-mid, But he will smash your team to bits, Tonali, Tonali

Curious as to what...

Do you prefer Le Tip du Bell?

That was a nice gesture. #MisinterpretationNation

Do we have to? I like people misinterpreting responses and being abusive as a result. #CARNAGE

Me too.

Radge on here at times. Cannot wait for the Lockwood cup.

I think folk are entitled to say they don't see enough in him to be 'elite' which is where we're now striving to be. I think that's the point that TheRegulars is making. Football is a game of opinions after all. Stats can often prove or disprove objective measurements of the game though. Folk used whinge about Longstaff last season and since he's been back in the side we've been nigh on unstoppable. However, today, just as West Ham did with Brighton, they allowed us to have the ball, folk think cause we had 70% possession or whatever we should have won, stats aren't always the be all and end all. For me Anderson needs more time, needs opportunities like he is getting and it's then likely he will become a good box to box midfielder who will work well in rotation for us. Is he quite there yet, no, but nor do I expect him to be. Tonali is clearly a baller too but needs time to settle. Just two of the players I've seen mentioned.

I've always foreseen Anderson as a bit of a Ross Barkley, not really given him all that much thought though tbf.

All good players. Everyone makes mistakes. Good result and a great run of results across the last 7 games. Rest and recuperate and back at full throttle for another big 7 or so games.

I know mate, I was just being a dick cause it Autocorrected to Charlton :lol:

What's this? When they beat Sunderland to promotion?

Absolutely not. Behave.
