Doh. Wanted Villa to lose 27-0.

 

27-1 would, however, be acceptable.

Why are Villa wearing white at home. It does look way better than that god ugly claret and blue though.

Sam Allardyce wouldn't deserve that, for his depleted team to get beat at Stoke.

Although I don't mind Blackburn - them getting relegated with Sensitive Sam would be funny.

What does anyone think of this Stanislas kid?

Stoke vs Blackburn, coming up to HT and it's 0-0

Apparently Rob Styles felt that there was clashing colors in the kits so Villa had to change theirs.

Imagine the horror if the opposing manager scratched his nose - or goodness forbid forgot himself and scratched his nuts.

 

I can only imagine the heart rending unbelievable suffering that would cause to Sam and the Town of Blackburn.

 

They'd have to declare a day of mourning surely. And I would fear for Alex's poor little wavering heart.

Come on Stoke, want to see Fat Sam have another glum look on his face at the end of the game.

Andy the more important game is in the Blue Square - Salisbury vs Cambridge Utd

 

The Us could still get automatic promotion back into the league IF they win their remaining games, Burton lose their last game and the Us can overturn a 5 goal goal difference disadvantage.

 

It's 1-1 right now, need a better second half from the Us.

[R A Softlad]

Ah no, 2-1 to the Us just on half time.

I hope they do it as well mate. As you know I used to work in Cambridge and stayed in a place a few hundred yards from the Abbey Stadium.

 

Cambridge was a bit of a dump in the outskirts, but was fun watching the lower league stuff.

Burton play 4th placed Torquay next weekend so it's still on. Need 2 or 3 more from the Us in the second half to really put the pressure on Burton.

Saying that though - although I've got a soft spot for Cambridge is Nigel Clough still at Burton?

 

If so I wouldn't mind them progressing either.

No, you're thinking of Wrexham.

think he looks really talented. so does the lad tomkins at the back.

[anfield11]

Every time Heskey has a chance I think to myself how good Torres is and also how poor Heskey is.
