We need the ones who can't count.

What is :smt039 Code? And welcome back Mr 5 Posts.

Hence the puck. God it's so difficult talking about a sport you know nothing about.

field hockey is what the Canadians call it.

You're welcome to my lefty Ovation, if it's still in one piece. Never play the thing. Would flog for £100 (£450 new and should be as new condition)

'Land hockey'?

That way it's easier to see the puck.

Always look on the bright side...

You're surely expressing this as a hope rather than a fact - at least as far as the CCC is concerned.

Nope, it's a free lunch. But I always worry that someone is busy sending all the card details to an identity thief in Bangalore.

I would hate to be accused of being an optimist, but Poortvliet has had to build a team, tactics, morale, etc., from the wreckage of last season's team. It's not surprising that this began to really shine through in the WHU game. But in the end, who knows...? You may well be right.

Just a small thing: could we get rid of the stars? They seem so wussy on a seriously serious 'main board'. And to illustrate this lecture I hereby award this thread 5 gold ones.

That looks a slightly stronger team than the one at SMS, especially at the back. But still....

Yeah but where is it all? A bit too quiet round here at the moment. Not a soul to wind up.

So did I, and it registered immediately. My guess is that a crispy fiver is now safely in the hands of a nice Indonesian computer hacker.

It feels so much better to be the underdog again. I hope we see a lot more of this kind of over-confidence from the opposition in the next few weeks.

I find this equation of anti-Lowe sentiment with damage to the club really tiresome. And do you honestly think that those who say they'll boycott SMS amounts to more than a handful? I think you are seriously mistaken in over-hyping this. Success on the pitch will bring fans back in the sort of numbers that will make a difference - not pro- or anti-Lowe feeling.

Didn't stop me.

Anyone who can feed their family and run their car for a fiver a year shouldn't be mocked at all - they're a bloody genius. I want to know how it's done.

It's not personal, it's business (ie Lowe won't cough up the fiver)

Think you'll find that scooby's boss is a little way down the road, near that tall ugly mast thingy. He has pots of money. Sundance on the hand is about to disappear, I can state with authority.

Quite right. I was only three or four from the 'post of shame' - my thousandth. Only death and taxes are worse.

Which leads me to think we might be the Arsenal of the CCC, but could also suffer the same fate, tailing off as a lack of depth in the squad starts to tell. Hope not..

Apparently it's related to how annoying you are. I lost more than 300. I expect Bournemouth will be down to 0.

If you want to pursue it but are anxious about the legal fees, you could chase them with a county court summons issued under the 'small claims' legislation. This is procedure which actually prohibits lawyers from being in the courtroom with you. And it scares the bejesus out of big companies.
