The Round Ball Game - II

[johncorrigan]

Wigan Athletic 1 manchester city 0 Don't think I'm allowed to laugh,maybe just a little snigger

Talking of underdogs, if you ever come across this film about the American Samoa football team, 'Next Goal Wins', have a look. I thought it was really excellent. Had me laughing, had me crying, had me cheering!

Allison Janney that is .......

Some interesting games this weekend.

Delighted The Foxes are on telly. A gentle admiration of Paul Lambert has not neutralised a strong dislike of Stoke and I’m pleased Crouchy doesn’t play as he has terrorised our defence in the past.

Good luck everybody.

Been backing us to win 6-4 each week for years now.....got to happen sometime.

This Alison just had a few quid on 0-0.

Interesting that bookmakers have Saints as favourites to win.

Not a brilliant day for us Cloughers.

Didn't enjoy the Leicester match and , though we went close, never sensed the winner was coming.

Thanks Rob. Gotta just grind it out for a few weeks and keep the three pointers coming on. The bottom team in the league is always a banana skin waiting to happen.

Very well done John! Must be a good feeling after suffering a bit these last few seasons!

Very well done John! Must be a good feeling after suffering a bit these last few seasons!

I've suffered on and off these last 50 odd seasons it would seem, Alison, for those moments of delight, even a 1-0 on a Saturday. You know that better than most of us after the Foxes' exploits that delighted us all so much a couple of seasons back. Onwards and upwards for most of the forum teams, I say!

[EdgeleyRob]

Not sure about onwards and upwards John,with my lot it's more backwards and sideways.

No, it seems to get worse and worse!
