For what its worth, although choosing the defence did bring it home how lightweight we are in that department.

Mind you we score from a corner for the first time in over 300 attempts to finish above Chelsea

Sorry for messing up your Euro place for the new Stadium Paul 😅

If I were you Corny, I'd ignore any calls from Slag just now

Oh Derby,

You must really love the Championship??

Anyway, looks like the Midlands league will be a pushover next year. Finishing above the Baggies is a given, so we only have to finish above Leicester, how hard can that be?

BS,

We all know football wasn't even played before 1992, and Leicester are tied with Blackburn as the 5th most successful team ever.

No, you're not alone.

I always want us to win, but I handled Sunderland's equaliser yesterday remarkably well.

A. It almost certainly is, but you can't tell 100% from this angle.
B. Even if it is over the line, you could move it a bit closer to the line, but still be able to see grass between the ball and the line, and it would be in play.
C. Any law that means you can see grass between the ball and the line, and the ball is still in play is a ridiculous law.

D. I don't have an axe to grind on this one, for some reason, I suddenly don't give a flying f#*! about the League Cup. It's all about Palace on Saturday. Roll on Wemberley.

To be honest, it may still be in (I can't quite tell from this photo), because of the idiotic rule we have where the ball has to be 100% over the line. The fact is most people apply the identical rule differently depending upon whether it is being applied to see if its a throw in, corner, or goal kick on the one hand, or alternatively, a goal on the other.

If I could I'd change it to be the majority of the ball has to be over the line, its more intuitive.

And if we did change the rule, it would do away with the idiotic placing of the ball at corners we have now started to get.

And to pass the time, here is a quiz Lost Grounds

I've lost 23, replaced 8, (24 if you could count the fact I once saw a cricket match at Northampton's County Ground - so 23 then). Still gutted that for some bizarre reason I never managed to get to the Baseball Ground, given that I grew up near Ashbourne.

I've also been to 2 of the new grounds, where I hadn't been to the old one (Pride Park & St Mary's)

Not too bad a shout, I did find a Spanish bar in Hammersmith Station that I enjoyed going to, until it closed when the station was re-furbished.

So 25 years ago, when I was choosing an NFL team to support, I went looking for a team with loads of history, that never seemed to win anything so that I'd be able to relate. So here I am watching a very good Packer team in the play offs.

To be honest, I've found the opposite. Most football fans are just a cross section of normal people, but the trolls on the internet are c***s, as you put it, only a small fraction of the people you meet in real life fall into that bracket.

Mind you, I just happen to fall into that small fraction.

I'm seriously considering the sports bar at Stamford Bridge for the Stoke v Arsenal game, on the basis that they'll support anyone but Arsenal. Almost every other West London pub seems plagued by Gooners.

I've never been there though, is it good venue?

Just make sure he's in goal for the second leg in 2 weeks time, and I'll be happy

No problems, but I didn't check his allegiances, please tell me I've not just helped a Gooner?

Obviously these are Stoke streams, but it could be a starting place

I don't like to use language on the internet that I wouldn't do face to face.

Although I remember saying "fuck me!" once when corny bought me a pint.

Note to self, don't use sarcasm on football forum.

Already in my diary, looking forward to getting revenge over City for 2011

What Saturday is that?

Referee Quiz

11/15, I'm amazed I did that well, I don't generally care who the referee is

I have always taken my duty as an uncle to subvert my nephews' allegiances very seriously.

In my opinion, my sister has neglected her responsibilities in this respect.

My nephew is a Wednesday fan (His dad is from Sheffield), and has a 1 year old son, is it acceptable that I bought his son a half & half Stoke/Wednesday scarf from a recent cup tie, as a birthday present?

I saw them on sale as I walked up to the ground, and it seemed a natural impulse buy.

True, but AFAIK, 04 and 06 aren't allocated to anything as yet so they may come into use?

Not all 07xxx numbers are mobile numbers, only 071 -075, 077 - 079, 076 are pager numbers (Try buying one now though).

Also 070 are personal numbers, and are charged differently to mobiles.

Also, a tiny number of them (07700 900xxx) numbers don't exist, and are for use in films etc, like 555 numbers in the US.
