I was looking forward to the later kick off so I'd have more time to do stuff today and get ready but now I'm eager to get out there and wish it was a 3pm k/o.

Berwick, Ipswich, Cheltenham, Sheffield United - £2 50p e/w on Hold on Julio in the 15:50 at Sandown (Paddy Power paying out 5 places)

I can't remember if this has spiralled out of control in my head but I think from being up there the other day there are actually two - one towards each corner.

This annoys me far too much like. They're so close, actually calling it the Gallowgate.. but behind the goal is clearly an End.

Gallowgate "Stand"

50p e/w on Our Mick in the Scottish Grand National

I'm going to the mother-in-law's for her birthday tea with all of his family after the match and I'm looking forward to that more than the 90 minutes of football.

Even my colleagues who hate football have started checking the score so they know what to expect.

Same here. Yep I think that applies to a lot of us. At one point I think we had about 8 episodes on the planner that we'd never bothered watching.

£3.50 - Walsall, Swindon & Forest Trying to resist the urge to bet on our match but I expect I'll cave tomorrow and waste some money.

Fucking hell man, only just seen this. Absolutely gutted for him.

I was totally confused to have received two renewal letters, only to remember that a mate bought a half season ticket for one of his other mates and it ended up in my name because I'm in his friends and family.

Just watched a longer video of some of the rioting/fighting and it's fucking embarrassing. I just hate being associated with such pathetic behaviour. Total cringe.

This season is absolutely ridiculous. Harper will have to start diving now if he wants to save one of their shots.

Possibly just thought it wasn't a good match to throw Haidara into. Hindsight is great, I was quite happy with the line-up before kick off, but Jonas really was woeful.

Awful, awful, awful. Highly annoying after the spell of good games he's had.

Fuck, I'd completely forgotten about that. In fact for a few blissful moments this morning I'd completely forgotten he was a half time sub. FFS.

Still one of the most baffling decisions I've seen from another side, I was over the moon when he went off. Might go for a long walk away from all forms of communication when this is on. I really can't be fucked with it.

Had less than 2 hours sleep despite being in bed by 10pm. Had to swing some kettlebells round before breakfast to burn off some nervous energy.

9 I think, no alcohol without food before 10.

Strawberry was canny last year out on the terrace. Think that's the only time I've been in there pre-match.

Couple of 50p scorecasts: Gouffran 2-1 Marveaux 3-1

I wish it was tomorrow already. I've just caught myself ironing, just for something to do.

On a similar note, people on my Facebook Thursday during the day posting about Sunday and how they can't wait for us to "stuff the mackems." Not even any sort of acknowledgment that we had an equally important game that night. Basically "fans" who only care about two games a season. Ah yes, no doubt they'll all be "on it" at half 6 tomorrow morning in preparation for the one match they might actually attend this season. Although they'll probably just watch it on the telly anyway.

I'm impatient for this now.
