[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

very pleasing to see Gianfranco, Gus and Steve Clarke doing well ....

given the pay rates, lacklustre end of season performances while their minds are on wags' bottoms and the beach should cost players a real lump out of their wallets; some appalling performances yesterday - not least at Wigan .. and Fulham need a what'sit up the jacksie ...

[BBMmk2]

Yeah at least B & HA doing alright!!

Yep brilliant JC....

Appartently an unexplainably lack-lustre display by Hull who could have clinched pro' yesterday....

.....and explainably last-lustre display by the highly paid defence of Newcastle....i.e. not clever enough to 'get it together', most ignorant and poorest display I've seen since Hull provided us with such Howlers weekly....

Scunny to play Bris Rovers next year....that'll be two score draws in the bag....

....Edgar Davids in Conference next year....

Indeed. 30 seconds which cost Bournemouth the League One title, but as we were only top for a couple of days, I don't really begrudge Doncaster, who were there or thereabouts for much of the season.

a glorious era for Welsh League football it seems.

I am sorrier to see Reading relegated than QPR, but in one respect it will be good to have them back in The Championship (another Palace away fixture within easy striking distance for us at Madejski), because on current lack-lustre form I am assuming that Palace will screw up the playoffs (or indeed even screw up getting to the playoffs).

For this week only I wish Palace the best fortunes - 3 points to keep Millwall below the Owls - then another 3 points to keep Peterborough where they are on Saturday.

Looks ok from Brighton & HA's perpestive.

[Bullock in D]

Please add Wolves to the list. As one who has supported the team since 1973, and who sang in St Peter's Colegiate Church for three years the two framed every weekend one way or another. The choir goes...and has has always gone from strength to strength. I wish the same could be said for the football club.

Villa 6 Sunderland 1.
Newcastle fans may chuckle,but that result has done their team no favours at all.

Blimey!! Liik who we are playing on Saturday. (Pte Fraser's voice: 'we are doomed')
