It's a bad idea IMHO. Cup Finalists in contention for the PL title or a CL place or in a relegation battle may well field a weakened team. It already happens with the semis due to CL games often in close proximity. This will further devalue the Cup. Having the Final as the season closer avoids...

Only ever listened to it in the car when on long business trips just to pass the time. I gave up on it eventually when the penny dropped. That was many years ago and before I retired. Haven't listened to it since.

Comes as no surprise. Another nail in the coffin of a once great competition.

Yeah, we had the 5 trophies in Carlisle last month and we were all saying that the FA Cup looked like a smaller replica. For anyone who hasn't yet seen them and still has the opportunity to do so it's possibly a once in a lifetime event, not to be missed. The Security Guys were very obliging -...

Yeah. That was when the name Mentality Monsters first reared it's head. Don't seem to hear it now, though :-)

I was stood in the Darwen End that day and the rumour spread that a wall had collapsed. As you say, Heysel was still in peoples' memories. It was only when we stopped off for a pint just outside Bolton that we learned the awful truth.

Apologies, you're correct of course. Don't know where the shoot out came from ! :-)

As it happens, they won't finish with nothing. They won the Carabou Cup after ET........................and that means more.

What a set of basket cases that lot are. They should seek some serious counselling.

You would be far from alone in thinking that way

That happened to Mrs Bill recently. She bought a Nike gym top which was the right size but not a good fit so she took it back. They wouldn't refund her, only offered a voucher. They didnt have an alternative to offer in her size, but try as she might they wouldn't budge. She ended up buying a...

It clearly addled his brain, which explains some of the shite he comes out with on telly.

Cue : " and meanwhile the current Champions Manchester City are still facing 115 charges blah blah blah "

Yeah, I corrected it shortly afterwards. It's one point.

As a prediction I'm inclined to agree with Gaylord. If we win all our games I'm convinced we'll win the title. Just an opinion.

Actually you're not wrong in one way. I've been saying to my mates ever since our dippers game that we'll win the PL if we win all our remaining games. Arse & dippers have both got slip-ups in them.

Correct mate. Apologies. Too much wine with my meal :-) Either way, St Beneathus Day will fall next Saturday, I reckon.

We're on 70, Rags on 48. Most they can get is 71. We therefore require 2 pts.

Yeah, that's the approach I've decided to take. Cheers ! .............and Cheers ! again next Saturday & Sunday.

Correct. St Beneathus Day can only fall on the day it's mathematically impossible for them to overtake us. As it stands we still need 1 point. The general prediction is that it will happen next Saturday tea time. The following day being a Sunday we shall be permitted to carry it forward for the...
