KK the 2nd

Both. Very ****ed off at the moment but I know that on Tuesday night I will be totally up for it. Roll on Tuesday! By the way we are still long odds on for promotion - 1/5 - West Ham are odds against - 11/8 Keep the faith!

First penalty and sending off decisions were truly awful. Temporary and unjust reprieve for the DSBs.

Chaplow had a few poor touches last night but was creating acres of space for himself and pulling their defence all over the place. He would have stayed on if he wasn't on a yellow, in my opinion. As for Guly I was surprised he played so deep last night given we were 2-1 down but assume he was following instructions?

as a ruler it is a rule in my househould

Best to wait until the day of the race - the odds will be better as the bookies will all be looking to outdo each other on the day. Take the best early price available and/or link with the special offers - paying 5 places, money back etc. Worst thing to do is to leave your bet at SP (starting price). Most of the online bookies will pay the SP anyway if the price you take is less.

Mine as well - in fact still is a hero! An amazing feat to excel in two sports. Great memories and thanks to the OP.

Jump down turn around kick him in the b*ll*cks, Jump down turn around kick him in the head Ohh lordie kick him in the b*ll*cks, Ohh lordie kick him in the head Dougal is our leader, Dougal is our leader Harry Roberts is our friend, is our friend, etc Not very pc in those days

Are the skates trying harder to lull us? 1-5 beats 0-3?

Sorry and thanks guys! In the Uk for this one and just jumped on the end of the thread but hoping to get hooked up to wireless in France. I'm aware sky go, iPlayer etc don't work abroad so here's hoping this will work.

Saw this outside a pub ... Pub staff strike likely ... Make sure you are fully topped up! Thought was quite good.

I love go a wandering through the Milton Road,I love go a wandering through the Milton Road, .... and if I see a Pompey fan I'll kick him the head and if I see a Pompey I'll kick till he's dead. To the tune of I love to go a wandering and in the days before segregation. Ay ay ayay Martin is better than Yashin, Ron Davies is better than Eusabio and xxxxx are in for a thrashing. We got Tommy, Tommy, Jenkins on the wing, on the wing, We got Tommy etc etc

The pitch was awful and made life more difficult. Blackpool are no mugs and deserved the points though. No excuses against the DSBs next week. Ricky back, a perfect pitch, good weather forecast ... COYR!

I can't iPlayer to work abroad ... any tips?

Listen ... we'll bounce back. Blackpool are one of the strongest teams in the league. We had an off day. We missed Ricky (rested so he score at least 5 next weekend). The pitch was a f@cking joke. The lino was carp. We had about 50% of possession. On another day we might have got a draw or fluked a win. Get over it and bring on the DSBs.

What's he up to these days? In a strange way, I sort of miss him, like a pantomime villain, with his rhino skin and smug smile throughout all the abuse. Swing Lowe ....

Oi! KK legend status should not be questioned! Reflected a fantastic era. Much though I love Kelvin, not sure he's there yet?

Should be good. Anyone know when the tickets go on sale for this?

Not that unhappy - set back for another promotion hopeful and they'll still go down

When Sunderland got promoted? Maybe an omen?

Kamara's ok but I agree with you re Merson ... total plank

More of a leg end than a legend but good luck to him.

Bruce Springsteen does a slow version of OWTS ... do for me.

I think BS is right ... with RL upfront they would be well clear. Should take it as a compliment. Also agree with Colinjb ... mind games at play here

Are they dead yet or are they just resting? Anyone remember the dead parrot sketch from Monty Python ... somewhat reminds of the situation down the road The cast: MR. PRALINE John Cleese SHOP OWNER Michael Palin The sketch: A customer enters a pet shop. Mr. Praline: 'Ello, I wish to register a complaint. (The owner does not respond.) Mr. Praline: 'Ello, Miss? Owner: What do you mean "miss"? Mr. Praline: I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint! Owner: We're closin' for lunch. Mr. Praline: Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this parrot what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique. Owner: Oh yes, the, uh, the Norwegian Blue...What's,uh...What's wrong with it? Mr. Praline: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'E's dead, that's what's wrong with it! Owner: No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting. Mr. Praline: Look, matey, I know a dead parrot when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now. Owner: No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable bird, the Norwegian Blue, idn'it, ay? Beautiful plumage! Mr. Praline: The plumage don't enter into it. It's stone dead. Owner: Nononono, no, no! 'E's resting! Mr. Praline: All right then, if he's restin', I'll wake him up! (shouting at the cage) 'Ello, Mister Polly Parrot! I've got a lovely fresh cuttle fish for you if you show... (owner hits the cage) Owner: There, he moved! Mr. Praline: No, he didn't, that was you hitting the cage! Owner: I never!! Mr. Praline: Yes, you did! Owner: I never, never did anything... Mr. Praline: (yelling and hitting the cage repeatedly) 'ELLO POLLY!!!!! Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your nine o'clock alarm call! (Takes parrot out of the cage and thumps its head on the counter. Throws it up in the air and watches it plummet to the floor.) Mr. Praline: Now that's what I call a dead parrot. Owner: No, no.....No, 'e's stunned! Mr. Praline: STUNNED?!? Owner: Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was wakin' up! Norwegian Blues stun easily, major. Mr. Praline: Um...now look...now look, mate, I've definitely 'ad enough of this. That parrot is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not 'alf an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein' tired and ****ged out following a prolonged squawk. Owner: Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the fjords. Mr. Praline: PININ' for the FJORDS?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that?, look, why did he fall flat on his back the moment I got 'im home? Owner: The Norwegian Blue prefers keepin' on it's back! Remarkable bird, id'nit, squire? Lovely plumage! Mr. Praline: Look, I took the liberty of examining that parrot when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting on its perch in the first place was that it had been NAILED there. (pause) Owner: Well, o'course it was nailed there! If I hadn't nailed that bird down, it would have nuzzled up to those bars, bent 'em apart with its beak, and VOOM! Feeweeweewee! Mr. Praline: "VOOM"?!? Mate, this bird wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it! 'E's bleedin' demised! Owner: No no! 'E's pining! Mr. Praline: 'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!! (pause) Owner: Well, I'd better replace it, then. (he takes a quick peek behind the counter) Sorry squire, I've had a look 'round the back of the shop, and uh, we're right out of parrots. Mr. Praline: I see. I see, I get the picture. Owner: I got a slug. (pause) Mr. Praline: Pray, does it talk? Owner: Nnnnot really. Mr. Praline: WELL IT'S HARDLY A BLOODY REPLACEMENT, IS IT?!!???!!? Owner: N-no, I guess not. (gets ashamed, looks at his feet) Mr. Praline: Well. (pause) Owner: (quietly) D'you.... d'you want to come back to my place? Mr. Praline: (looks around) Yeah, all right, sure.

Even more of a dilemma to my mind would be ... If Saints win = Go up as Champions, Coventry go down, Pompey stay up A draw or loss = Go up as second, Pompey go down, Coventry stay up What would you go for?
