Thrice or Fource shurely.

It's like the 80's all over again. I'm getting a wedge and sticking the Bunnymen on the record player.

I've been playing the Bunnymen ever since. Not constantly of course.

Shame about Manchester City falling away. I thought at least they would give us a run for our money.

The City game was a belter. Haven't actually seen much of City this season, although I never thought they would really rival United, Arsenal or Chelsea this season... I may be wrong. They're still up there and they gave us a good pasting.

Just for the record; Poulsen Agger and Bendtner are all Swedish players

Agger is a quality footballer.

Too fragile though.

So Manchester United do it again - cheat and get away with it that is.

That tosser Gomes was at fault of course as you always have to play to the whistle.

- LOCKER-ROOM WISDOM -

A YOUNG FOOTBALL PLAYER RECIEVES THE FINAL ADVICE BEFORE HE JOINS THE FIRST TEAM.

COACH: Well Martin, tomorrow is the big day, nervous?

MARTIN: Not as much as I would have thought.

COACH: That's the perfect amount. ...Ok son. I always have these little one-on-
one's with a young player before he makes his debut on the first team.
It's a good chance to talk about the things you won't read about in
The Football Manual.

MARTIN: You mean dirty tricks? I know most of them already.

COACH: I'm afraid it's a little more complicated than that. More like science in fact.

MARTIN: Science?

THE COACH PRODUCES A LITTLE SPORTS-BAG. HE THROWS THE BAG TO MARTIN WHO CATCHES IT.

MARTIN: What is it?

COACH: A welcome present. Open it.

MARTIN OPENS THE BAG AND PULLS OUT A PIANO STRING.

COACH: Ever heard of the Gillardi Guidelines?

MARTIN: Sounds like a new GPS system.

COACH: Gillardi is a professor in Maradonatics at the University of Inter-Milan.
Let me demonstrate some of his ideas... You have just sawed
an opponent in half and the Ref is fuming. What do you do?

MARTIN PUTS HIS ARMS OUT AND ASSUMES THE CLASSIC
"I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING" POSSISION.

COACH: Not bad, now let's have a look at Maestro.

THE COACH TURNS ON THE OVERHEAD-PROJECTOR AND A PICTURE OF MARADONA IN THE SAME POSSISION APPEARS ON THE SCREEN.
(ALTERNATIVELY A LARGE PHOTO)

COACH: You see the difference?

MARTIN: It looks like he's about to cry.

COACH: "It looks like he's about to cry". Not many people know this, but
Maradona always played with a piano string tied around his testicles in case
he needed a dose of sympathy from the man in charge. That's the
level of dedication we expect from our first team players.

MARTIN: Ok now I'm nervous.

COACH: Why? Yank the string - Cry a bit - Get the ref's sympathy - Easy.

MARTIN: And this works every time?
COACH: Except when playing United. We couldn't get sympathy at Old Trafford if
we cut off our balls and handed them to Fergie in a velvet bag.

MARTIN LOOKS IN THE BAG AND PULLS OUT A RAZOR.

COACH: Always shave your legs before a game. Women love it and I don't hate it.

MARTIN: Good to know.

MARTIN PULLS OUT A JOCKSTRAP AND SOME PAIN-KILLERS.

COACH: Be sure to wear a cup and eat some painkillers before the game. The other
teams always rip into the new guy like wild animals...
But most important of all - Remember to have fun out there!

I see that the foreigners are trying to ressurect this bloody 39th game!

Why can't you stop tampering with it? It's great how it is - although I still prefer 22 in the top division and 11 games played simultaneously on a saturday afternoon.

So how the f**k is it going to work anyway? Each team plays 1 game in a foreign country? How do they decide who plays who? And who would want to see Blackpool play Wigan in Singapore?

F**king leave our game alone!

Tonight was the biggest match in the history of my local football team: FA Cup First Round: Rochdale v FC United. I had to come to this game, so I came all the way from Aberystwyth for it. Rochdale are four divisions above us. It's being shown live on ESPN. Somehow we're 2-0 up. Dale bring it back to 2-2 and FC score the winner in the 94th minute. Was definetly the best game of football I've been to. I was stood in front of ESPN commentator John Champion who was commentating on the game. When we scored the winner in the 93rd minute, I stood on my seat, so was face to face with John Champion. I shouted 'Yes John. You liked that didn't you John. Yeeeeeeeesssssss!!!!!!!!!' What a night.

Oh dear. Not F CUM.

If they really wanted to make a point they should've had yellow and green as their colours - not red.

'Last minute goals are the best goals' has certainly been proved this weekend. Last night at FC United with Michael Norton's 94th minute winner against 4 divisions above us Rochdale in the FA Cup was one of the greatest moments I've witnessed in football, but today wasn't so bad either with my hero Park Ji-Sung scoring a late winner against Wolves, his second of the match.

Did somebody say unbeaten in the league?

Also enjoyed watching Tottenham get brought back to Earth

You're a jammy lot of bastards aren't you.

Still three points behind and we've got a game in hand. Oh - and a much superior goal-difference.
