The Football.....

[Dayvo]

Easily done, I would imagine that many (if not most) of the players for lower league teams in Scotland do not live in the town of the club they play for.

And the Pony Express has yet to be introduced into Scotland, thus preventing any means of communication. FFS!

The weird thing is the programme was about them trying to make it a bigger club yet it focused on how it was now. I am really questioning where "Top Top Football" is going and if I can enjoy it (my best $ky Sports impression) Which is why what Leicester are doing is brilliant it would be great if they won it, I would really LOL

They way it is going is the reason Leicester are top of the PL and were able to attract the likes of Cambiasso. If a player demands £100/150/200K a week then any PL club can pay it if they want to, the days of stockpiling players by the top clubs has gone, they can get then same money at Watford, whilst actually playing.

To make our league position more unbelievable just checked the tables this time last year we were bottom with 10 points .What a year for Lcfc

Well done to Leicester, I'd love to see them hang on and win it. Unlikely I suppose, but rank outsiders coming through to win major sporting events is not unknown (Who'd have tipped Greece for the 2004 Euros?).

West Ham were 1500/1 for the title at the start of the season, I did think an unmissed tenner would have been a good idea but never got round to it. You'd probably have got the same or maybe more on LCFC.

It would appear that the option of browsing and looking to see how much tickets are is a bit restrictive; requiring setting up an account and then only for games in the next few weeks. No chance of rolling up and paying at the gate then...

Not an Englandshire peculiarity unfortunately.

If you're committed to suffering the dismal fare on offer at St James drop us a message and I'll pick you up a ticket.

Unfortunately there is a hell of a difference between winning 6 games in a tournament and winning a league cup.

You're right, but upsets do happen in sport. To win the premiership as an outsider you need a good season , obviously, but also the other contenders to keep shooting themselves in the foot. At the moment, that is what's happening. All the big teams are blowing games against lower opposition.

I bet you'd give him money to take your ticket.

Cheers, will do. The problem with our fitba team is the league dinnae issue the fixtures until 2 or 3 weeks ahead so we never know when we have a free week til very close to the time.

I thought playing La Marseillaise before matches was a bit ridiculous, but thats on another level. The idea comes across as 'what can we do to get something out this situation?'

All pish like this does is deflect genuine grief.

And when did Hamilton v Aberdeen become a 'prestigious' fixture?

Hell it doesn't seem ten years since George Best died!

sod the mags, stop off a few miles up the cost and watch the entertaining table topping football that Blyth are playing, you can bowl up and pay at the gate and get to see a successful cohesive team playing in stripes.

outside of the league, the North East is in pretty good health again Gateshead still holding down a conference spot and showing their current status by sacking an ex league manager for having fallen to only mid table. Spartans and Darlo doing very well and both in with a realistic shout of promotion back to conference level. Spennymoor making their way back up after a disastrous owner took them to oblivion.

Blyth are almost a parallel of Leicester over the last 18 months, this time last year languishing near the bottom and a long way away from their final position, our run to the 3rd round of the cup sparked a magnificent 2nd half of the season and we missed the lay offs by a couple of points.

Matlock on Saturday

Comfortable win for Spurs tonight in Azerbaijan against Qarabag or something. Long way to go for a game of footie - 12-hour round flight.

Bring on Chelskie.
