The Round Ball Game

[EdgeleyRob]

Looks like an 'ouch' and a 'get in there'

Happy Christmas, edge, thanks for the results service!

Stoke City 0 Chelsea 2. Les Bleus 3 points clear at the top.

Happy Christmas to you cloughie.
Hoping for 12 pointers all round for the forum teams over the festive period.

The best Christmas present for me this year would be a win for Leicester City.

I can hardly imagine what it would feel like.

Should we lose to both Tottenham Hotspur and to Hull City then I fear for manager Nigel Pearson

If our results continue I think he might be offered a job further north!

Robbed as far as I could see from MOTD, Rob. Stonewall penalty denied.

Scottish teams play tomorrow.

Toughie against a very good Dundee team today...really could do with a point or three!

[EdgeleyRob]

Good day for JC.

Dundee 1 St Mirren 3. Cracking away win,could have done with Ross County losing at Celtic though.
East Stirlingshire 1 Albion Rovers 4. Well beaten by the promotion chasers.

and Neil Warnock sacked by Crystal Palace !!!
wonder what Gurney makes of that ?

Thanks for a splendid effort as ever ER.

Go Buddies, go Buddies Go Go Go !!

what a great end of year boost.

(mind you, its not every day you read the phrase " a very good Dundee side").

The curse of the "home defeat by Saints" hits warnock. The Eagles have a big job on to find somebody up to the job. Sherwood seems well in the frame.

Allison the entire Middle Kingdom has its fingers crossed for a Foxes Win!

and les bleus should be scoring a lot more, it would better reflect the quality of their play ... still winning does fine!

Cheers footie fans, and major thanks to EdgeleyRob for the solid reports over the festivities ...

[Alison]
