***************

I fancy Baldock for a brace for a tight 2-1 victory, come on Albion.

 

[MattBackHome]

We're gonna win 6-5.

 

[Rugrat]

We're gonna win 6-5.

Agree ... (Baldock, Calderon (2) Bennett, Tex, Stockdale)

You must have the order of the goal scorers wrong.

Sami would never send Stockdale up for a corner if we were drawing 5-5, shirley? Stockers goes up in the 91st when we're 4-5 down and equalises. Tex then scores in the 93rd. Rookie mistake, my friend.

Concerning the final score though - I reckon you've got that spot on.

We're gonna win 6-5.

I read Sami wants a tighter defensive unit tonight, so I will go for 6-4 rather.

 

[glasfryn]

first time for a long time that I have gone with a draw 1-1
so it will I hope be a good win

Cor - look at those FANCY badges!

I've literally NO idea what they mean for the scoreline.

Could be ANYTHING.

 

[BensGrandad]

I expect to see a much tighter defensive display this evening after S H comments after Brentford debacle

Bugga ... I'm still not quite 100% au fait with the shrewd tactics of Sami.

Thanks for correcting me!

Non-Central 'V'.
Wheel loss.

Edit:

Lower Caps for the 'M' and 'T' for Match Thread.

Wheel really loss.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Great graphics! Have we lost yet?

 

[Goldstone1976]

Well, you learn something new every day. On checking the train times back to Cambridge, I saw that the the last train is at 21:17, which is obviously not going to work. So - a quick look at Multimap to see how long the drive will be, and I see that Ipswich is actually South of Cambridge (well, ESE actually, but South, not North). Who'd have thunk?

How are people who are training up from the South Coast getting back??

 

[Seagull kimchi]

Sexy - we'll cum from behind.

Wheel Loose!!!

Birmingham = 1 goal
Leeds = 2 goals
Bolton = 3 goals
Charlton = 4 goals
Brentford = 5 goals

Total match goals today has got to be 6 goals

OP looks a bit Sky Sports to me.

We'll still win though

 

[Goldstone1976]

Charlton = 4 goals
Brentford = 5 goals

Blimey, that's right. Apart from the last sentence. While it would be mathematically pleasing to continue the sequence, it's already agreed it's going to be 6-5.

[BensGrandad]

Will be leaving Haywards Heath about 3.30 and got good vibes about this game.

 

[dazzer6666]
