Good afternoon.
First item of business has to be a big well done to BMJ for a last minute winner against the lonely mob from Woolwich.They rarely register on my radar, but the spectacle they made of themselves last night deserves a special mention. The must all had emanated from the same petri dish, surely?
They’re playing Fulham (badly) and are singing songs about us and that time expired handball queen Terry Henry. Then they get beat. You couldn’t make it up.
Elsewhere the Villa were well and truly shat on by the Swansea; 0-2 indoors. 3MP bojangled a brace in at Blackburn, Norwich firmly stamped a question mark over Neil Warnock as they won at Loftus Road and Cheatski snatched 3 points at Molineux.
So the Baggies tonight then. Let me blind you with some science. Their away record is better than their home one. By some way. They’ve played 9 games away. Won 4, drawn 2 and lost the other two other games that were then played. By them. Away from home.
Aside from the fact anyone’s mood must improve driving out the midlands, I think it’s as much to do with their support geting stuck in. These things count. I bet if Blackburn had beaten Manchester United at Ewood Park there’d still have been Kean Out flags being waved.
Looking at where their goals came from – of course, like most sides the answer is – inside the penalty area. But 17% of the Baggies’ net bursters came from ‘the right channel’ according to our friends at EA Sports. So if any of our coaching staff see this gem of information. Sort it out!
Looking at how we can make a difference you don’t need an MA in Looking At Things. Our defenders need to keep it tight, no mucking about playing at wing-backs and Luka Modric needs to dominate the game. His vision, tenacity and sheer quality is what is required in order we distinguish ourselves from what are an out and out second rate side.
Prediction? We’ll win by a single goal. That’s an awful way to carry on, I know. But as much as I would like to say we’ll give them a walloping of all times – that’s ambitious.
I’m having a bit of Raging Kaboul at 6/1 – Anytime Goalscorer – with our friends at Boylesports.
Team for Cheltenham:
Cudicini
Corluka Bassong Dawson(?!) Rose
Falque Kranky Livermore Pienaar

Three Massive Points.
But Good Old Tottenham. The only thing worse than being one-up, you guessed it.
And keeping our own unique statistical record tight; must have been at least 15 (fifteen)corners tonight !
COYS !
And nice prediction Harry H !
The 3rd best news of the night is the choice of Chris Hoy as referee for the Manchester v Manchester FA Cup tie on Sunday. ITK`s have assured me he has been to Specsavers over the hols and now has 20/20 vision. Still reckon each side will have an early bather. Had to work, completely missed tonights game, happy with the 3 points tho`.
Those illegal brothels can’t function without a manager eh, Razspur? :silly:
Yer right Billy, the girls really keep in shape, they know their place, when one goes down there`s always a real pro waiting to take over. They can play in many formations and man marking is second nature, some go well beyond the regulation 90 mins, no complaints if i have a couple on the bench and they`re usually happy to play at the back, all in all a good nights work.
Keep up the good work, fella! :cop:
Been watching the Modric vid at the top for about 2 and a half hours now.I still dont get it,not sure what is the end ,the beginning or the middle.? :hae: :silly:
A mate of mine just got back from travelling across London on the tube. reckons he was laughing his head off at Fulham Broadway and again at Ar5ana1 cos he reckoned there was a Spurs fan working for London transport keep shouting on the tannoy “Mind the gap,mind the gap”
Tee Hee.
