Neil

stoke spotted something they didn't like but hes been excellent for wham Footballing ability?

Crouch and hoofball time soon?

Great hit Ba, great save.

Great effort Noble.

How did they not score?

I think he went late night shopping, high street bopping.

They deserve to be slayed purely for being in the vicinity of Tup Tup.

I'd vaguely understand why they'd be bumming them... if they hadn't just got knocked out of Europe.

They'll win, albeit they're making a meal of it.

You make him sound like SWP, which is quite the insult.

Love the town, mind. It's got a train: http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Travel/Pix/pictures/2009/4/1/1238603482151/The-Brick-Train-alongside-001.jpg An actual train: http://www.traintesting.com/images/220019_13-6-01_Darlington.jpg A bus: http://www.yourlocalweb.co.uk/images/pictures/04/50/arriva-daf-bus-victoria-road-darlington-44008.jpg Casual arson: http://www.bbc.co.uk/tees/content/images/2008/08/15/fb_2_470x300.jpg 85 cafes: http://includes.iknow-uk.com/img/region/iknow-northeast.co.uk/listing/75531a.jpg And even a giant time-keeping device: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3199/3122247291_736c928525.jpg?v=0 What a town.

Not sure what to make of the rest of the season. Teams like us have little to play for apart from increased prize money and pride, since any faint hope of Europe has been firmly extinguished. On one hand it's a pleasant feeling not to have much 'pressure' but my overriding feeling is one of "meh", and general disappointment with how things have gone. Basically, a pretty shite season all in all barring an unlikely huge upsurge in form.

Nice one Kaiz, great read. I'm looking forward to reintroducing Norway as another route for losing my money. Also, big stakes for the first round! If that DTD one comes off...

Me too.

Not this again.

Also, what a shame that on a Famous European Night, the Kop couldn't suck the ball into the net.

Great 24 hours. Liverpool, Man City and Rangers all out of the Europa League, one of Chelsea or Man Utd guaranteed to go out in the CL quarters and the other 3 ties look pretty good IMO. Nice.

Actually, that mock-up has too many funny bits. "I thought West Brom were Dutch" ffs. Edit: no, my favourite is "Spearing injured in human sacrifice"

Phil Neville statue unveiled. :lol:

But then it'll be ITV pretending they know stuff about those nasty foreigners.

By following what I am now calling the Hall principle, I'll have a dabble in Cheltenham action tomorrow. Well, a slight modification: I (unfortunately) do slightly know what I'm doing, which may decrease my chances of victory.

IIRC, it was against Real Sociedad at home, and the stadium was evacuated due to a bomb scare. Think it finished 2-1 Madrid, aye, but can't remember who scored the winner. Ronaldo is a good bet like.

Couldn't just say "auto-correct function", could you?

Oh btw. not a chance in he'll !?

Real Madrid vs. Schalke: Raul to miss a decisive 92nd minute penalty.
