That's important but there have been other benefits. AP has had the opportunity to play some of the 'fringe' players and find out more about his squad. If we do get to Wembley the experience will be very useful practice for the players in case we ever do get there in the playoffs.

... or to boldly split infinitives... (Fowler's 'Modern English Usage' is quite entertaining on this topic) For me, correct grammar and syntax is very important. Anyone who has ever left a character out of a C program knows what the consequences can be. I would never wish to discourage anybody from expressing their views because they felt that they might be 'pulled up' because of their writing, but there are occasions where it can make all the difference.

What he said he said.

I totally agree with you. I also think that it should be "50s and 60s"

That's all right, then. For a moment I was worried.

That looks frightening. Did I see that they couldn't put out a full bench the other night?

Local talk also says that the staff have been 'warned' that they may be paid late this month. Some staff haven't been paid for a couple of months. Some are leaving for other jobs, others are hanging on (unpaid) in the hope that they'll get statutory payments when the ship sinks.

He's injured, according to a local supporter I spoke to this afternoon.

I went past their 'Megastore' late this afternoon. There are big red posters with 'SALE' written all over them. Well there's a surprise.

We have never really controlled the midfield in any games that I have seen this season so one or two proper midfield playmakers would come in very useful. Like you, I would prefer a settled team, but we have lost Trottman and I would rather build for the long-term.

That's wonderful news, Hamster. Please pass on my good wishes to your missus. My wife and I met when we were both 16 and in September we shall have been married for 40 years. Every time I look at her I think how lucky I am and I would not have changed her for the world. We have raised two children and we have six grandchildren and we have two lifetimes of shared experiences to keep us together. Treasure every moment that you have, try not to have cross words with each other, hold hands, smile, remember the important things. Life is short and there's so much to see and so much to learn. The world is a beautiful place, full of beautiful people and it is a privilege to be allowed to be a part of it, especially if you can share it with the one you love. Keep smiling through.

"at least" ??? Isn't that more than the stadium record?

As I understand it, phone calls still work, don't they?

His free-kick against Ipswich was spilled to Antonio.

So, lose the next 4 and win the last 16 it is, then.

"If supporters cannot make the Walsall game, other fixtures can be chosen at the discretion of the supporter." (not available online) Any game before the end of the season, I would say.

Rule 15 (g): "(g) A substitute who does not play in a match is entitled to play for another Club in the Competition in the same season"

and "Thank f**k its Friday" "Thank f**k it's Friday" I saw an advertising sign at Dean Court a couple of weeks ago offering design services. The last line read: "Improve your companies image"

With tickets at £30/£28 it may be a struggle to sell them all. We shall see.

True, although I will point out that the Kop at Anfield is the other end to the away supporters.

Ticket prices must be mutually agreed between the two clubs, so perhaps we can blame the bankrupts for this one.
