Whitey Grandad

Chicken and egg, innit. I know a lot of regulars who would have gone otherwise but they're not going to sit in the corners when they're used to a top-class seat.

Playing football is the same whichever game you play. Professional footballers are contracted to play cup games as well as the league. Playing a game is much better than just training. Players have bonuses for various competitions. What would happen if your contract stipulated occasional weekend working and callouts, would you refuse?

Stands were closed so you couldn't buy tickets for them

Blimey! And I thought I could hold a grudge...

Yep, I've moved on. It's dealt with and filed away under 'never to be forgotten and brought out on every conceivable occasion'. It's my feminine side but with extra hormones.

It depends on the colour, if they're amber then it's put your foot down to the floor.

Horrendous, hideous, ghastly, atrocious, take your pick. Woeful is probably about right.

We'd sign you up but how are you at head-butting?

Good practice for when they can move to Tescos. It'll save all that travelling.

Er... three defensive errors in quick succession

Much more than I ought to be and I'm quite surprised about it myself. Our shiny new MP has lost some of his gloss, it's like having a new car and then it gets a big dent in the side or a girlfriend who has broke your trust, you can forgive but you will never forget "Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it 'Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again"

Yeah, but remember to pay him after the job 'cause wiping all that grease and melted cheese off can take forever.

Was that before or after they cleared the table?

Sunderland also missed a couple of easy chances, it could easily have been 3-0

The cup also has higher prize money, plus the extra gate receipts.

There's no capacity on the tracks, they're already at maximum.

And the psychological boost that comes from cup success

Good idea but last year's winners should get some sort of handicap. Maybe they should play some extra games in some other competition and have to travel a lot?

Angry is not the right word. I am quietly seething but now is not the right time to do anything about it. I have a long memory and can bear a grudge to beyond the grave... ... my time will come.

What really annoys me is when you let them through first and they ignore you and stop just the other side in dreamland wondering what to do next.

I am of an age that holds the door open for anybody following. Every once in a while I get a thank-you. If I don't I even have to say it for them.

There's a classic political statement if ever I saw one. Used for any situation.

Long way to go yet.

You need to wear a badge saying 'Baby on board'.

From the report it would appear that she is not obviously pregnant being only five months gone.
