They got to him. He's been assimilated. RIP Shearergol.

I'm Spartacus.

f***ing hell. Serious? That is what the guy told me. No reason to doubt him. He's a regular customer in here and a nice bloke. Who knew Pardew was a cunt eh.

Just had a chat with a customer in my shop who works on the underground station at Heathrow T5. Said he sees Pardew at least three times a week and regularly chats football with him. He said he'd asked him about living up there as he's always flying back to London. We obviously all know this as it is well documented that he is only up here a couple of days a week. Apparently Pards told him he lived down here as he doesn't want to live in a cave and everyone up there lives in caves, along with some more unsavoury comments on the north in general. Not really new information or surprising but just thought I'd let you know.

I'll be booking my budget megabus next week when my student loan comes through. Depending on if I can find a super cheap room I may or may not take up elfy's offer of bed and board. Really looking forward to this. Despite the reasons behind it being obviously sad it should be a really good weekend.

I'll bring my own darts with me this time.

Shit. That delicately placed 'okay guy' almost made me feel bad. Almost. Offer still stands. Does anyone want Neesy? I'm sure we can strike a deal. I am happy to accept promises of beer in the evening as a transfer fee.

Ooooh. Me, Slim, Nut, Neej. Not too bad. Shame about Neesy mind. Anyone interested in a swap deal?

Must have been a hitters ball park that one. Looks barely 200 feet to the stands.

Here we go. Jim White night is on. And Natalie, of course. Times like these I'm minded to walk the 100 yards to the Sky studio and perv over her.

Or just go to the pub.

That is generally how it works Neesy.

I just can't see us getting relegated. Sure, we look rubbish at the minute but we've got more than enough players of mid-table quality to keep us up despite the moron who is picking the team. I've got us at a solid 4. We might flirt with it for a while but come the end of April we'll be 10 or so points clear.

That depends entirely on who is employed as manager on the day.

Sadly I can't make that weekend as it's my son's birthday, but I'll be there in spirit. Jon's mates from Hitchin asked to be made aware if this was going to happen so I'm letting his best mate know - I think they want to come up and be a part of it. Would be great if a few of them can make it up. I'm sure we'll show them a good time.

Aye but that's often related to someone in the event. A bit political and scathing for something so positive. Maybe I'm being too PC but though it worth considering. I'm running it. So is Jill. So is Joey. I think we all feel very strongly about the little known plight of the lesser spotted Hatem bird and would openly support increased media awareness of this great humanitarian crisis.

Somewhere about 10 miles in. Would give me a nice boost just as I am flagging.

Of course I'm in.

Nice plan BJ. Get on with it then.

Considering some of the reprobates you've put up before it'll be like entertaining royalty.

I'm tempted, but equally I'm still unsure if I can put myself through the horror of watching us live again.

Any chance someone can put me up for the night? Doubt I'll be able to afford the accommodation. Travel option will be the midnight express to reduce expenditure further. All I ask is that if you are thinking of running a doss house for long distance N-Oers, please don't stick me in a room with BJ01. I've heard he does all manner of things to people in the middle of the night.

For the purpose of a five-a-side tournament enclosed pitches are far more suitable. In every other situation regular pitches are better. Is someone gonna get on and organise this?

5 a side tournament means possibility of more people taking part.

I've been toying with the idea of going. If I thought it was a banker that we'd put out a strong team it'd be a definite. I'm not sure I'd be able to handle going to fucking Gillingham and watching us stumble around for 90 minutes getting outclassed by a shower of shite again.
