Tonight was bad, I always hope that every mediocre performance will lead to them getting their act together for the next game but it doesn't seem to happen. We should spend the 12 million we got for Keane on scientific research into cloning Gerrard as without him we don't seem to have a clue.

I'll get on it. I've been 'Harvest'-ing for the past couple of days and it's turned me into even more melancholic John Mc.

To be fair, the 'English, European and World Champions' - WITH the 'best player in the world' (and eleven players on the field at all times) - didn't have much of a clue against Everton's team bus the other day, either, and they were the home side, too.

what's everyone's favourite Ashley Young goal? Neutral

football doesn't suck! well argyle are doomed doomed doomed so it should do but i'm bored of the championship now and fancy some verbal sparring in the, er, class war derby featuring that great industrial city (plymouth) vs, er, the, er, west country's only posh city (exeter). its been a while!! i also fancy us nicking exeters manager to. though he does need to stop wearing ted baker....

anyhoo reason for post is i'm off to nairobi n surrounding area for a week. i have found out that afc leopards are meant to be home when i'm out there and i'm desperate to go - i've never been to africa before let alone see footie there so does anyone on this forum have any idea how it works for tickets n the like. to date i've not found that info out and whilst i will spend all me sunday trying to find out if any of you can help it would be swell.

sheff wed chairman has gone n published a championship league table based on what he estimates is each clubs wage bill. it means nowt really but it makes yer wonder how some clubs are paying such high wages and, well for me anyhoo, makes quite interesting reading:

I hadn't heard about this before, it's genuinely touching:

"On 19 April 1989 (the Wednesday after the disaster), a European Cup semi final between AC Milan and Real Madrid was played. The referee blew his whistle 6 minutes into the game to stop play and hold a minute's silence for those who lost their lives tragically at Hillsborough. Half way through the minute's silence, the A.C. Milan fans sang Liverpool's "You'll Never Walk Alone" as a sign of respect."

fuck that was a beautful thing. honest even given me own mental experiences in rome, and an unhealthy number of right wing followers, i'd still say italian fans are the best. followed closely by the germans.

we're safe Very Happy ah the fickle view of the football fan. now i'll just have the delight of a walk to ashton gate to look forward to instead. still big thanks to pne for their spectaculer 2 goals on saturday - massive for argyle as it gave reading the incentive to get a result at norwich tonight. nice to 'cos it means that they'll be no big football forum fall out between the argyle and barnsley contingents as we doubtless let barnsely become the 11th - fuck the 11th! - team to win at feable fortress hp.

anyway sparky ffs beat burnley to the play-offs. even after all these years burnley still piss me off and i really can't stand the thought of them going up even if it would mean much hilarity watching them have as many defeats as we'll doubtless have next season!

I hope that you're right, but I doubt that. We have a shit away record, and knowing our tactics we'll probably try to defend 0-0... But oh well, at least we still have everything in our own hands, unlike Norwich. They need to win against Charlton and in that case Barnsley would need at least one point, otherwise we'll go down because of our bloody goal difference... I have a bad feeling about this. Sad We should have been safe weeks ago.

and so this Sunday is going to be the closest and most exciting finale to the Championship in living memory. What is it about The Blades that every season (at least for the last 3) they leave everything to the last day and have to rely on other results to go their way?

So:

If Birmingham win, they go up.
If they draw and we draw, they go up.
If they draw/lose and The Blades win, the blades go up
If they lose and we draw/lose, Reading go up!

Can't wait!

Sorry Kris, but with your current manager and your current captain, I find it quite hard to wish your team well. Razz

Still one hour and a half to go for the big game(s)... I've been up since six in the morning and I'm getting more and more nervous every minute. I wish it was 3:30pm already and this was all over. Confused
