          I found this piece of info from the Beeb sport website about Michael Laudrup very interesting. It would certainly add a bit of spice to an end of season game between a team sitting comfortably in mid-table v a relegation threatened outfit. Not sure I approve, but then I don't approve of a lot of stuff in the footie bizz these days.
          Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup says he sees no problem with teams paying rival sides to win games.

            Usual good wishes to all our teams today, 3 points all round.
            Wonder if that's ever happened ?

              Well it didn't happen to the Buds today - we got cuffed by Killie.
              Scotty'll be joyous - the jags are the only team in Scotland with 100% record.

                  I know, John ... heady stuff indeed ... they'll be much joy and merriment among the residents in the leafy suburbia that is Coocaddens, tonight.

                    I think we need a 2012/13 season updated list of all our teams, ER. Thankfully, no poopey fans have founf the board this summer, (there was one, a couple of years ago...) so...

                    Saints. hurrah !! at last. saw all the goals live on an internet stream . Looking forward to going to the fulham game in a couple of weeks.
                    Chelsea.sneaked a win.
                    Newcastle down as postponed on the BBC site.
                    Man utd. Not playing today, and Beefy is nowhere to be seen anyway.
                    Leicester. Playing tomorrow.
                    Sheff Weds. lost at home. On the slide.
                    Cov. Lost at home. oh dear.
                    York. Drew at home. Good start on their return to the league.
                    Stockport. Decent away point, Not looking that great so far?
                    St Mirren.Lost away
                    Partick Thistle. Won, flying high. I think we may be looking to them to fill the trophy cabinet this year !
                    no doubt I have missed some, so apologies.Please add !!

                        yes, sorry i clearly forgot wWexham. I was worrying about why I don't really like Brahms #2 all that much. I am missing something.
                        BTW, ER, saw Sibelius Violin Concerto live last night.....maybe THAT would have converted you!!

                        Edit, I bet Dartford fans get fed up of people saying things like that !!

                          If I am down as the Magpies they are my second team - I have to admit to being a Monkey Hanger born and bred and thus a Hartlepool supporter these many years......

                            I am supporting Hereford down in the BSP, ts - I have been quiet for 2 weeks or so due to atrocious performances, but I watched them get back to winning ways in the sunshine today (defence still as shaky as blancmange though).

                            Congrats to Saints on their first win today, btw.

                              All your congrats are very welcome, thanks. big win for us today.
                              Yup forgot about Hereford. Sounds like a good afternoon's entertainment and a good win a gainst old league adversaries.only a point off the playoffs ! Do they still have the bull parading round?

                              AG's Monkey Hanging background is a new revelation...I think we should adopt them as a board team, as we already have the barcodes.
                              Everybody has a soft spot for Hartlepool, don't they?
