The Round Ball Game

[teamsaint]

fantastic round up, ER. Sterling work.

Excellent as always ER looks like Cloughers is correct we will get promotion and sad that RB arrived a few games too late to get the Toon into Europe .....

39 points to play for anton! I think the only way the Toon will be in Europe is via an 'in' vote in June.

I read that Rafa's on 2 mill if he keeps them up...so much for Ashley's zero hour contracts. Anyway, for me Rafa reminds me that he has just jumped ship from the 'Black Pig'.

Beware the Rafa factor chuck

Prize money distribution seems complicated but I found this

How can United get nearly 100,000,000 pounds in prize money when all we've done is mess up week in, week out!?

Villa look good value on £66.6m - worth every last penny

Blackpool 0 Coventry City 1 Scored the goal on 25 mins to end a run of 4 straight league defeats,now 3 points outside the play offs

Yes, it's been dreadful recently, Cov's recent run of defeats sent them below the pay offs. This win is a glimmer of hope that they'll get back to winning ways with the good football they have played so much this season.

Watched just a bit of (Coventry)Wasps vs Leicester- I just can't get into rugby football - I reckon their crowd at the Ricoh arena was much higher than any Sky Blues crowd this season!

Thanks Rob.

What with the first of those and the York position, not a good weekend for football!

With all due respect to the Toon Army among us, I'm hoping for a nice positive result for Leicester this evening...

Even I am torn JC - a good show by the Toon and a narrow Foxes win would be OK by me ....

Which is exactly what happened by all accounts.

Cheers lads, another vital three points.

I suppose if Tottenham do win the League, there is the consolation that they will be the least popular champions of all time.

And if Leicester win it, they could well be the most popular.

I'm sure they will be, Eine.

The only worry is that if their fans in the ground caused a minor earthquake with their celebrations - as the newspapers reported - Britain could sink if the same sort of thing occurs on the final day all across the country.
