Tonight's football thread

[Derby Tup]

They do.. City or Chelsea should have won it, but Liverpool have been beyond themselves but also all their key players have performed.. Henderson has gone from being a joke to the best center mid apart from Toure.. they are less reliant on gerrard as well..

I think City may never recover from this set back.. Sheik will get fed up with pissing money down the drain.. the players haunted.. like Blackburn but worse and I they'll plummet down the leagues like Leeds.. tick tock..

A 21st Century Swindon springs to mind . . .

... - wouldn't be suprised if we lost to Hull mind

THere's an interesting issue now re Arsenal and Hull. Hull will get European football as cup finalists even if they lose the final provided Arsenal finish fourth. One of the things that would seriously dent Arsenal finishing fourth is Hull beating Arsenal in the league on Sunday. Might Hull be tempted to 'not give 100%' in the league game I wonder????

It's better to have a won the Premiere League and plummeted than never to have won the title at all.

I think Tennyson was a Blackburn fan.

I think he was a forest fan. We know plummeting as well as anyone

Scunthorpe, or the Wolves Graham; surely not Leicester?

Wolves. I lived in Cannock as a boy.

None of this dilettante following of Man U. or Chelsea for me. Range Rover football supporters? Huh!

An anecdote: my father 18 months ago found his Wolves v Arsenal programme for the opening match at Molyneux September 1939: ie a few days before war was declared. It cost 2d.

I sold it for him on ebay.

It went for £357.

I suppose it might be the only copy in the world, although possibly there is one in an archive at Molyneux, but with the war and all, who knows?

Anyway, Wolves man and boy Andrew. No need to pass the canapés.

My dad has the programme for the first ever game played by Bradford City. From 1903 I think. A bloke gave it to my grandad in a pub in the 60s! It's in a shocking state and is only two pieces of paper. I'm hoping for another Bantam revival about the time my dad wants to sell it.

Vital point for Morecambe today with an equaliser in the 6th minute of injury time against top of the table Scunthorpe. Alf's boys seem to be doing their best to chuck away automatic promotion but hopefully they will do us a favour at Brizzle Rovers on Monday

Let's hope so eh?!

Chelsea, definitely.

Funny old game eh?

I was listening to the wireless the other day and they were saying "of course Liverpool will probably have to win all their remaining games to win the Premiership. What they had clearly forgotten (despite their many years' of punditry) was that the results from the last 4-5 games of every season are completely unpredictable! That's what's make's it so entertaining.

I believe it's customary to finish all posts on this thread with "tick tock".

[Stagger]

Are Halifax Town the form team with 9 wins and a draw out of their last 10 matches?

Good to see Leeds back to winning ways and a 1/4 of the supporters at today's away game from Leeds.
