Or gold perhaps, the colour we used to play in! (In the olden days!)

I wouldn't have too much sympathy for Cotterill. He walked out on Stoke to take up a position with Sunderland. When it suits managers, they'll forget the contracts they've signed, so it works both ways.

Also, if I'd spent millions on a club, I would want to choose the manager.

Absolutely not!! It's the kind of thing you do with nursery kids. Football doesn't need tacky gimmicks like that.

Is there anything else people would bring to plainmoor from the euros?

Ronaldo, Torres, Gomes, ......

I'm not sure that would work. If Coventry are reprieved and three teams get promoted, then the Championship would have one too many teams.

As Portsmouth had been relegated, I think that the changes to relegation numbers would happen in League 1, despite what the rules say.

What could happen ...

Torquay win their next two games ...
Hereford beat Northampton, and hopefully beat Crawley .....
Crawley beat Dagenham, and as said already, lose to Hereford ....
And Barnet lose to Southend (Friday) and draw at home to Wimbledon ....

Then both Torquay and Hereford would only need to draw in the last game. (Unless Barnet win by something like 10 goals in their game). We could then play out a very tame 0-0 and both be happy.

It could happen ......

It's raining here and I've nothing better to do.

However not worth getting them in a twist over to be honest.

Maybe the post on 'Promotion T-shirts' could be considered as implying we wre already up.

Have you considered that we might be playing in a play-off game that night? Hopefully play-offs won't be necessary, but it was just a thought.

I'm not sure if it's been decided yetwhether it will be League 1 or 2 game, but Sky are planning to show a play-off game that night.

The key word in the 'law' is 'BOTH'.

As Eunan was not nearer to his opponents' goal line than the ball (when passed), then it wasn't 'both'. So he was onside.

Football betting tips .............

Take a £20 pound note, tear it into small pieces, and flush it down the toilet.

It saves the anticipation and the subsequent grief and disappointment.

Have you noticed that the top four in the Scottish Premier league reading upwards is:
Hearts, Motherwell, Rangers, and Celtic i.e. HMRC

Spooky!

I thought Gerrard was found 'Not Guilty', as the jury (Liverpool supporters no doubt) accepted that it was self-defence. Even though the other guy didn't actually throw any punches, Gerrard thought he was going to be hit, so got his 'self-defence' in first!

He's still a thug though.

And now their FA Cup match is going to be live on ESPN, so they will get another £212,000!

You think it's acceptable to use the term 'faggot' (in the thread about the Hotel TV programme), so I don't understand what your point is?

Anyone who still thinks Howe shouldn't have been sent off should look at this picture.

Doesn't look 'accidental' to me.

And if that had happened the other way round in front of the Pop .... and no red?

I noticed the following stats for us:

Points won against top half teams 5 from 27 (P9 W0 D5 L4 F12 A22)
Points won against bottom half teams 26 from 33 (P11 W8 D2 L1 F20 A4)

If anything suggests we're destined for mid-table this season, it's those stats. I'm quite surprised to find that we haven't beaten anyone in the top half yet, considering the general feeling is that we're playing quite well now. Maybe the opposition in recent games just hasn't been very good.

At least it should mean we get a result on Saturday at Accrington!
