The Round Ball Game

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

yep an interesting day yesterday ....

[teamsaint]

Bad result for you ts but look on the positive side, you're still top and look where the two sides were this time last year!

no complaints cloughie. We have had a bit of luck on the road recently, yesterday things went against us, and we made mistakes.

Fate in our own hands, lots to play for, and WHU would love to be in our position.
Mr Adkins needs to be at his best this week. A good weekend over easter and we are almost up, a bad one and its going to the wire.

Looks like a fight to the death with your rivals in L1.Tough fixture next sat for you.
Interesting story about Preston leaking their tactics yesterday. Although looking at where they are in the league, its hard to imagine that they had any worth leaking !!!

Sorry for you teamsaint! A very good game indeed, imo!

We beat Liverpool 2 - 0 today!! :)

We still can't get above Chelsea though?

I think it was a wind-up from the dugout, because Westley's Stevenage put 5 past us last year - that led to us getting Bywater and our need to pick up the ball from the back of the net has considerably lessened!

Watching Sky Sports News last night reminded me why I have so little time for football- the booing directed at one player, the dive by that same player in an attempt be awarded a penalty, the half-headbutt by the goalkeeper on one of the players from the opposing team, who then went down as though he had been hit by a truck rather than gently tapped on the forehead. It's this kind of unsportsmanlike behaviour by these overpaid prima donnas that really puts me off completely.

Professional football is now as much theatre as sport and sometimes the actors play to the gallery .. and sometimes the actors get cheered, other times roundly booed ... it is overwhelmingly and quite understandably the most popular spectator sport in the world. That is not, of course, to claim that there are not the usual idiots who are involved/ attach themselves to the game, as in any other walk of life.

There was some rugby big-wig on Radio 4 the other morning boasting about how rugby spectators are so much superior to their "great unwashed" soccer counterparts, the recent heart-warming display of overwhelming world-wide support and good wishes for both Muamba and Petrov having apparently gone unnoticed. Significantly (and very sensibly) he never once mentioned anything about any superiority of 'the ugly game' itself in comparison to 'the beautiful game'.

I suppose it could have been worse ... some of us might have had to endure someone boring us to death about the ultimate in overpaid prima donnas, ie, racing drivers in Formula One ... as if the 'sport' itself isn't boring enough.
