      My heart says and wants a 1-0 victory with the winner in the 83rd minute to avenge Colin Bell’s heart breaker in 1971 at Maine Road.

      My head and BetFred business mind says 3-0 City :(

        Gary Caldwell ‘gets’ the way Roberto wants to play as much if not more than any other player we have. Okay, he’s prone to the odd Bramblesque balls up and lacks a bit of pace but he’s also capable of nicking a goal or making a killer pass, like the other night. And, most importantly, he’s in blue and white and we should all be behind him.

        Scharner’s the one that makes me have kittens when he’s passing it around the back :unsure:

          It must be just me then.

          I thought Espinoza was very good last night. :unsure:

          My man of the match. But he’s definitely no left back :unsure:

            I expect nearly everyone who queued up actually enjoyed it. We dont get the chance to look forward to something very often and anything you can do to make the experience more enjoyable is worth it.

            Christmas wouldnt be half the fun (it isnt fun but thats not the point) if you could have it tomorrow without the anticipation.

            Id rather have the memory of being in a queue for 5 hours getting cold and remembering what it was like to finally get to the front and hold the ticket for our first FA Cup final than tearing open an envelope when it comes through the letter box.

            I’m sure I read somewhere that you’re a solicitor and I guess this post proves it, falling just short of ‘I rest my case’ ;) . Are you sure you’re a solicitor and not a barrister? :)

              Here’s a translation….. B)
              However, the emergence of Jordi Gomez closed out the match. The Spanish, who managed the pace at important moments of the crash, the second and final provided both signed by Callum McManaman in the absence of a quarter of an hour.

              Fantastic! :lol:

                I had a great day Saturday (as everyone did) and I had a few little bets as I usually do on Saturday. I had a nice treble in with Bolton, Doncaster and Notts County winning with a return of £104 from a fiver.

                I also do a lottery win style accumulator and I never usually get even close. I put £1 on the following:

                Arsenal 3 Norwich 1
                Southampton 1 West Ham 1
                Millwall 0 Wigan 2
                Everton 2 QPR 1

                It works out at around 5000/1 and I missed out because QPR didn’t score :(

                    In his autobiography, DW talks about his respect for the minors.

                      Jordi’s in the cup game at Goodison was very special.

                        Alcaraz was my man of the match, his slide tackle in the box in the second half was risky, but perfect timing made it a brilliant tackle.
                        He has certainley made a difference along with Scharner at the back.

                        Man of match by a long way I’d say[/quote]

                        I’d find it hard to disagree but Kone pushed him close.

                        I agree with most of what bigroy said earlier. The turning point of today’s game was when McArthur replaced McManaman.

                          A man goes to the doctor and says ‘Doctor, I want to be castrated’. The doctor is flabbergasted and asks why on earth he would want to be castrated. The man is insistent and says he’s made up his mind and wants to go ahead with the procedure.

                          The doctor reluctantly grants the man his wish and the man is sent for the operation. About a week after, he’s released from hospital and he’s in agony. He’s walking down the road with a dressing gown on, walking very gingerly pushing a frame with a drip attached and he sees another man walking towards him doing exactly the same.

                          When they finally meet, he says to the other man ‘Looks like you’ve had the same operation as me’. The other man says ‘What, circumcised?’ ‘Shit,’ the man says ‘that’s the word I was looking for’.

                            Accept it – you can shout “Wigan’s Turning Blue” all you want – it may well be. But the rugby fans really really really do not give a toss.

                            Most of the rugby fans that I know do give a toss. They really don’t like the fact that the football club is eroding the ‘Wigan is a rugby town’ tag at a fair rate of knots. Fact.

                              I’d be quite happy to get a trip to some remote part of Europe …

                              Not what I had in mind, but I’ll take it.

                              Inverness (who will hopefully be in the CL) or Dukla Prague (who probably won’t qualify at all) would be superb for personal reasons.[/quote]

                              I used to have a Dukla Prague away kit. I got it for Christmas. It was all I wanted.[/quote]

                              Not my European team of choice, I was more of a teenage armchair Honved fan.

                                Ill reiterate my comment – which was lost in the middle of a cyber row:

                                Hang fire with your travel arrangements for the time being lads.

                                There could well be an official train option in the pipeline…

                                Sorry but disrupt the cyber squabble too, and I know this is a ‘how long is a piece of string?’ type question, but how many people do you reckon you would get on an official train?

                                  ‘Go and have a look at the size of the shit I’ve just done in the bathroom!’, I said to my girlfriend.

                                  ‘Er, no thanks,’ she replied.

                                  ‘Please, just one quick look,’ I said, ‘You won’t believe it, it’s a good two pounder.’

                                  Shaking her head in disbelief, she pinched her nose, ran in, looked down the toilet, then ran out and said, ‘There’s nothing down there, you must’ve flushed it.’

                                  ‘No’, I said, ‘It’s on the scales.’
