Australia, just like Eurovision?

There's surely no way they'll shrink it back to 16 teams... which means either carry on with this 3rd place madness, or expand it to 32 teams - meaning we could have fixtures like Malta v Macedonia next time out...

It's not exclusively live on Facebook - it'll be on Sky & the Sky Sports app (which I think is usual) and Facebook.

Is that right? Surely even at 1-0 it's possible that the third place teams in D, E & F can finish with better records?

Ironically the OP answers this question himself... The money goes; you've given it on the basis of trust that they will complete the walk/marathon/whatever. If the kids have to walk door-to-door twice just to get the sponsorship, the walk will fast become more than 5 miles. Plenty here will...

No, but do twist my words out of context if you like. There was no mini-power-battle with any stewards, cock-waving or otherwise. The stewards in the North (or at least in N1D where I am) were perfectly happy to let us stand all game. Again, the general consensus around me was that they'd...

Slightly odd statement given that we were standing for the 90 minutes...

I'm honestly not sure if you're genuinely questioning me, or making a sarcastic reply because the standing/sitting point is so obvious. Assuming you are being serious: Yes, really. It was the first time I've stood for 90 minutes at the Amex, and the consensus around me was "we have got to...

It's all about standing up vs sitting down. I can't believe the atmosphere on Monday would have been so good for so long had the stewards made the North Stand sit down. What the best way to achieve it though? I'm sure the answer will be that the club can't just tell the stewards to leave us in...

Unlike Boris's complete non-truths on the Leave side of the debate?

Burnley have £9m Andre Grey, Sam Vokes, and will surely splash their new riches this summer. What about signing Ashley Barnes if they look to offload him...? (I'm half joking...)

No real feelings either way on either side, but looking ahead to next season I'd be far more confident of us finishing above Wednesday than above Hull, so for that reason hope Hull go up.

Hull, Derby & Wednesday (do we still :lolol: now?) are still missing from that list, though Derby will obviously join it this time tomorrow. Once the 24 team list is complete it'll be interesting to see where they have us. Away from winning the title, we're 9/2 for promotion next year - roughly...

Then play it over THREE matches, and the highest place team is home in TWO of them. Extra revenue, plus there is no worry over 46 games boiling down to 1. We'd all love to play Wednesday over 270 minutes, right? (At least we'd have Dale back for the final if we made it...)

What a day. Huge pitch invasion afterwards where I bumped into Dick Knight and couldn't think of anything to say other than "I love you". Then the drive back to Southampton soaked through - Hiney I'm guessing your car might just about have dried out 12 years later?

The "advantage" is solely that the second leg is at home. The decisive game where we know what we need in the last 15 minutes will be at home, plus any extra-time or penalties would be at home. That's it. To give a real advantage it should be a one-leg match, with the highest place team at...

It's been about a 3 all week, but this morning suddenly I'm on about a 7. Will probably be an 8 by tomorrow morning, and a 10 by 7:30pm. As Morpheus said, "he's beginning to believe".

Honestly? I'm not sure it will make a material difference - it won't lead to war. It surely won't make us more safe - we aren't in the Schengen zone anyway - and one (small?) negative effect will be that we will no longer have the European Arrest Warrant. NCA figures show roughly 200-250 wanted...

In the team news, 60 minutes before kick-off on Friday.

What would constitute a bad result for both sides? A narrow 1 goal win for Wednesday probably isn't great for either us. A mass brawl leading to 4 red cards (and hence suspensions for the final) would be a disaster for both - so clearly that's what it'll be. Right??
