Oh yes,Suarez is absolutely world class.

Credit to Manchester United fans...it was nice that the passing of Nelson Mandela was honoured by a 90 minutes silence.

Thanks for the superb round up ER.

Very tough times for County fans.

Sounded like a good game up in the north east, Saints Subs seemed to have changed the game. Don't think either team will be too unhappy with a point, we certainly won't be.

Good time of year to come up with a win on your accy.

Selection boxes all round at ER towers !!

Well there goes Wrexham's much hoped-for Cup run

Well done with your accumulator Rob - I hope it's enough to keep the heating on over Christmas Day at least

Satdy footy.

Watford 0 Sheffield Wednesday 1. Welcome 3 points,now just 1 point from safety.

A pivotal result for the Owls - 1st clean sheet of the season, 1st away win of the season 1pt from safety with a game in hand on Charlton immediately above us. More significantly may give Gray the job who I feel can coax the squad up the table - he seems to know the players' strengths but not being in their faces quite as much as Jonesy was.

[BBMmk2]

A good result from Newcastle and Southampton!
