Wigan were also above us before we beat them. And Brum come to that. Apart from us v Burnley, there's only one other club in the top 10 whose wins haven't ALL been against lower placed clubs(Forest v Leicester being the exception). Blackpool v Reading is only temporary as they'll probably go...

"The Leatherhead Lip" if memory serves. In fact I've checked and it seems to be a cornerstone of their history - their messageboard is called "The Lip". Well I never.

Embarrassing defeats by the Nigels are part and parcel of a rivalry that will continue without us one day but will be taken up by our chidlren and our children's children. Never mind their posh degrees and middle-class liberal leftie tendencies, mine have learned to despise the Nigels "with a...

Sorry, hun, we're all out of tea and sympathy. I think we might have a lorry load of schadenfreude available though.

Seems a pretty random spread at the moment. Pet Rescue clear favourite but still looks like a lot of guesswork going on. The odds are reflecting bets taken in a very sparse market. No general discernible trend apart from Dan, Dowie and Dyche being market leaders. Those odds suggest nothing is...

Mark Rylance - Jerusalem. Fabulous play and tour de force by MR Adrian Lester - Henry V with modern uniforms, suits, Jeeps and TV crews at The National just after 2nd Gulf War. That should have been compulsory for anyone pro-war. Brilliant. Alan Alda - Glengarry Glenross. It was a bit like...

Sky seem untroubled by links with SkyBet Championship, Team Sky (bicycles) etc. Product placement is now allowed in UK television. I think it's only Auntie that tortures itself with the need to be unbiased. Everyone else does what they want subject to Ofcom rules and regs.

Talksport is still owned by Ulster Television. Obviously. All their major shareholders (more than 3%) are investment funds as listed in their accounts. So talkSPORT is independent, hard though it is to believe. Mind you, given that the radio stations generate only about a 10th of UTV's £120m...

Mickey Rooney There's a few surprises on this list ... http://www.deadoraliveinfo.com/dead.nsf/viewdocs-nf/oldpeople?OpenDocument&Start=1

Fat finger syndrome here too. 1,353 visitors = nearly 14 per post. My life could have been very different if I'd realised how interested in me people are. Oh well.

Poppies never had leaves when I were a lad so they can't have become commonplace until maybe 60 or more years after WW1. It is some sort of latter day urban myth that there is some tradition attached to the orientation of the green bit. A bit like the idea that feet on equestrian statues tell...

Why would anyone consider a replay? There's umpteen defenders and the goalkeeper staring at it and they didn't make a fuss. It's no different to a goal being given when a player is offside. The officials made a mistake, that's all. Or is there an increasingly perverse value system where "he...

Odd ... BHA not in the list. Then I noticed it's 6 months out of date so checked out the FA site: http://www.thefa.com/~/media/Files/TheFAPortal/governance-docs/equality/football-v-homophobia/football-v-homophobia-leaderboard.ashx Sussex FA and Lewes listed but no BHA. All a bit peculiar...

Annexation of the festival without acknowledging the original is naughty. Or it would be if it wasn't for this ... http://www.thegreatbullrun.com/photos/sample/ Or this ... Making the claim without checking your source material is however very very naughty.

Mate of mine was playing 5-a-side at lunchtime. Silly sod is now in A&E in Whitechapel and missing our biggest game since Hereford :shootself Thing is, I have his ticket which he won't be using ... anyone in need? :ascarf::ascarf:

I still loathe them with a passion, mind Chrystal Palarse :D

I'd go down the route of discourse theory (Foucault)and apply it to identity formation. Bound to be friction where different identities rub against each other. Current Palarse (spelling compulsory in the BHA discourse) identity requires us to be 'plastic' and/or 'tinpot' or their identity...

Using facts is cheating but no other team has failed to score more often than Palace this year (10 times in 21 games). To be fair to Bright, statistics like that can be misleading. They're not that bad - only Derby, Leicester, Forest, Birmingham, Peterborough, Barnsley, Charlton, Watford...

They only need one point to be guaranteed so no odds offered. We're currently favourites to win the play-offs with SkyBet: http://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/championship/championship/to-win-the-playoffs - BHA 100/30 - Nigels 4/1 - Udinese 4/1 - Leicester 9/2 - Bolton 6/1 -...
