I called my cat Paul Robinson because I got her the day Paul Robinson done that mental goalkeeping error in Croatia - I thought she was a bloke until the vet said she was a bird so I called her Joan, she ended up getting called Joan-Paul, she died last year and I miss her loads

Just received yet another email from the “Collective” urging/pleading for me to vote now in the 50.01 Vote. They seem to be getting desperate – realising that they won’t reach the 50%+ turnout requirement. They should have thought about that before they “massaged” the membership numbers - forcing an opt out rather than an opt in. Much as I love the Club I am not prepared to participate in a “Collective” Industrial & Provident Society vote to determine whether they should exercise a 50% or 75% majority – either of which allows them control to continue usurping the interests of the 5000+ true fan owners. But I am looking forward to the game tonight!!!

Iran will not play in the World Cup.

I’ve always loved this Country Joe & The Fish song from Woodstock… [Link] and it’s a poignant moment for him to take leave of the world… :(

OTD - my first football match - a birthday treat for my 10th birthday

My new copy of When Saturday Comes has arrived this morning, including an article celebrating their 40 years in print this month. Their highlight from 2002 is about WFC... "The FA commission managed to conjure up two arguments for the move that should astonish most football fans. Believe it or not, one of the most important reasons for the decision was that "MK provides a suitable and deserving opportunity in its own right where none exists in south London". Savour that concept: the suitable and deserving opportunity. In one glib, ignorant phrase the commission has swept aside more than 100 years of football clubs trying to advance themselves by actually beating their opponents and winning games".

Leave somebodies up [Link] it not only gives you a chance of a quick break but it affects the opposition's corner routines if players have to stay back.

Sparta - Reminded me of this [Link]

My mate and I went by train to a midweek Southern League match at Romford in the 70s. Got there a bit late, and the bloke on the turnstiles said Romford had just missed a penalty. We were singing Dickie Guy's praises until we got sight of the pitch and realised that Romford were playing someone else, not the Dons. It was a cup replay which had taken precedence over our league match.

Just read that a Barcelona fan arrived in London to travel to St James's Park, Newcastle...... but ended up in Exeter instead. 😀

BBC are running poll on whether Igor Tudor should be sacked. I voted NO but it's presently 80/20 in favour of YES

Beat you to it OI.

OI - I spotted that literally after I posted the link on here

Rob - I like the comment underneath. Maybe I should second it!

OI - guess It's Finally Over - [Link]

Trigs - Sadler to Northampton and Nolan to Walsall. Simples!!!

RIP Country Joe McDonald

Walsall sack Mat Sadler. They sit 3 points off a play off spot but lost to Salford last night.

CW - only if Spurs let them, as they will be under contract.

CW - thank you

DO-most of the better ones will leave so the wage thing wouldn’t apply to them

Sol Campbell for the gig, just needs to remove that phone to accept it first/

I would have thought that the fact that their wages will be halved next season if they go down would motivate the Spurs players sufficiently!

We had two cats called Vinnie and Womble.

I had 2 cats named Fash and Vinny
