  1. Go Steelers. I've got confidence Charlie Batch can do the business; for one game at least.
  2. Carlton Cole? ;)
  3. Another woeful performance, this time at Crewe Alexandra. Lost 0-2. Must do better.
  4. More excitingly, perhaps, is that Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano - both of whom featured in Argentina's World Cup squad - have joined West Ham Utd. A full list of transfers involving UK clubs is here.
  5. At least Derrek's speaking a little bit of sense.
  6. Better performance today, grabbing a 1-1 draw against league leaders Nottingham Forest; nice to see Town playing the ball around like that, and there'll not be many better teams down at Huddersfield this season. Nicely done, and hopefully it'll be carried onto Crewe next weekend.
  7. Its been fun to watch - I like Harold Ramis, too, which was a nice surprise for me.
  8. Champions League Draw. Group A BARCELONA Chelsea Werder Bremen Levski Sofia Group B INTER MILAN Bayern Munich Sporting Lisbon Spartak Moscow Group C LIVERPOOL PSV Eindhoven Bordeaux Galatasaray Group D VALENCIA Roma Olympiakos Shakhtar Donetsk Group E REAL MADRID Lyon Steaua Bucharest Dynamo Kiev Group F MANCHESTER UNITED Celtic Benfica FC Copenhagen Group G ARSENAL Porto CSKA Moscow Hamburg Group H AC MILAN Lille AEK Athens Anderlecht
  9. I'd love to see Tim Wakefield as a Cub.
  10. And it was an atrocious game that Mansfield won 2-0. Time to focus on the league for a bit, lads.
  11. This is why many football fans were against the creation of the Premiership when it happened in 1992, and why I won't watch the Premiership anyway. Its all about money - who has it, who doesn't, and who will get the most over the next 12 months - the deal for TV money, and now the top four are fairly settled, all the rewards of the Champions League (which is the big pay packet) is theirs. Until the entry of Abramovich, whenever that was, Chelsea would have been a second level team - like Everton and Spurs - with a chance in the cups, but none in the league, but now they have bought their way into the top standard.
  12. There is a playoff set-up in the leagues outside the Premiership. The top two (or three) teams are promoted and then the four below that play each other to get the final place. It does - as you rightly say - keep the interest in the season going a little longer.
  13. After three pre-season friendlies, and then a fortnight away, Tuesday evening will be my first match of the season. The might of Huddersfield Town come face to face with Mansfield Town for a place in the second round of a cup competition that nobody gives a damn about. I can't even build it up. I'll be there, because I'm always there, but there's no anticipation.
  14. Hey, that Fast Reply thing totally works. Related-ish - Is Internet Explorer on phones any better than Opera Mini? I use the latter, and that does me very well.
  15. Wikipedia to the rescue.
  16. Who won? That's the the only sausage related question on my lips.
  17. I want to know who designed their mascot. That thing's scary. Here
  18. I'm with the A's. There's a road-sweeper I see sometimes on my way into work and he wears a particularly battered A's cap... always brightens my day, and spikes into the dirge of Yankees paraphernalia that clogs up the town.
  19. :lol: One we have to assume is innocent until proven guilty, yes.
  20. That's what I was thinking. If it was all winning, then maybe I'd have had a shot of not coming up, but its cycling round like... something that cycles really fast.
  21. :cry: Naw, seriously, if I was getting back in July or sometime, it'd be worth staying on, but its going to be September, so I'll take my chances.
  22. I only really like You Can't Always Get What You Want (of the Stones) and here, it goes to prove that. Kinks all the way.
  23. Its probably better taking me off the list for now; I'll be going round Europe for a month or so, so I'll miss my next start anyway. Sorry, and thanks.
