Although I can see your point, doesn't the fact they are pulling in crowds of 20,000+ mean that there is more of a taste for the game up there. Based on the figures we have, that would mean 1 in 5 Blackburnians was heading to Ewood for home games. Brighton with 250k+ and Sussex with 750k+ and...

I'm probably way off the pace on this but wasn't the away end at Peterborough due to be demolished last month? I'm sure I saw the Barnsley fans on the terrace at last Saturday's game. Does that mean there's a glimmer of hope that it will still be there when we go there after Christmas or have...

Ha, ha, I must admit I thought it was for real at first. Looking back: Donny - 98th minute winner Peterborough - they squandered loads of chances Cov, Derby, Forest - how the hell we've nicked nine points from nine I'll never know That said, you've got to be in it to win it and we clearly did...

I used to donate and I used to really enjoy 'giving something back'. Then I got diabetes at the ripe old age of 22 and that was the end of my blood donating career.

I think you're right about third tier football but I'm quite hopeful we won't see the fourth division again in my lifetime. Really need to capitalise on the so called JCLs and ensure they maintain their interest, get their kids interested etc and we could see the Albion sitting with a...

I hope for: Rounds 3 and 4 - crap lower division sides at home so I can try out the north and east stands. Round 5 - Premier League relegation fodder who will play their reserves as they have a big game against Wigan the following week. Quarter finals - Decent Premier League side at home...

Yup, we're sixth after a good start, a disastrous run and four battling wins from the last five games. We've got a manager who knows there are deficiencies in the team and has said he will look to address them in the transfer window - this says to me that the side is only going to get stronger...

Only thing more enjoyable than a resounding 3-0 home win is an absolute mugging 1-0 home win! We'll play a lot better than that and lose thios season, in fact we already have. Oh well, three point is three points and we showed a lot of character not to buckle completely. Forest may be down the...

I think I'd almost be happier in a Group of Death - we were quite good in a tough group in 2002 and bloody awful in a supposedly easy group last year. Whatever happens I predict elimination on penalties in the quarter finals.

Couldn't this be quite good for us, though? Surely if we draw Poland or Ukraine then the hardest opposition we'll face will come from Pot 3? That said, there look to be a number of potential 'Groups of Death' and a fair few potentially more straightforward groups too.

Good result against possibly the worst ManUre side I've ever seen - they couldn't even take throw ins! If this is the future at Old Trafford then a lot of City shirts will be sold in Surrey over the next decade. Zaha looked brilliant mind - wonder when they will sell, January or June?

In most cases I'd agree with you but Pompey v Southampton is so one-sided in terms of trouble that I fear we'd see the slaying of 3,000 Saints. Most rivalries seem fairly even in terms of how nasty each set of fans in (even us and Palace) but Pompey v Southampton could quite literally be blue...

I could only find this link. I guess it would have been longer than six seconds if he had scored. But he didn't. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBej_6NpuI4 Re the other link from the Millwall end - what's with the empty seats in the home stands? Was there a fire drill?

I guess at the end of the day if you sign up to something then you're going to fight to keep it, aren't you? Not an exact comparison but if you agreed to pay £400 for a season ticket then the club said: "Actually, it only gets you into 20 games, not 23, you're going to miss Palace, Pompey and...

I think in Eastbourne's case, with the current set up their three seasons in the Confernece National was the best they could hope for. First season they were very comfortable in mid table but the final two seasons were a real struggle. They have talked about having another crack in five years...

*shrugs shoulders* You said those last 17 words, not me. Let's all hope you don't dip out on promotion by two goals, eh, because there were at least three more on the cards for you lot today. you're on a good run but you're five clear, not 15.

Did we really have 42% posession today? Not too shabby really when you consider it was 12 v 10 in terms of players for over half an hour and we were 2-0 down with a potential tanning in sight. you need to push on a really hammer teams in that scenario if you're going for promotion, sonny, and it...

He started likening a spell of possession they had to the time Leeds took the piss out of Southampton for about eight minutes in the 70s. I suppose it was like it in the sense we didn't touch the ball but it was very different in the sense they were functionally passing it around their back four...

Two dodgy pens and some poor defending for the first. Not exactly disastrous but then again we were never going to equalise if we never had a shot. Fair play to them, they would have gone up the season before were it not for their points deduction so they're even more in the winning habit than...

Pipe down love, you don't even follow the best team in Manchester. Trouble with the Glazers? Get that green and gold campaign going again - bloody effective, that. Hope you enjoyed your glory years and have been nice to all the fans that are happy to fill the seats you've left. ManUre -...
