Aye, hadn't realised W Ham have such awful fixtures.

Think that's how it works. My local club Blue Star are in the NL2 play offs and that's how they work in that division by all accounts.

An unbelievable 40 years to the day since we beat Carlisle in our promotion season. Think it was Easter Monday? Carlisle were also contenders for much of that season. Saved a pen then broke upfield to score at the other end. Happy days. This from nufc.com: 1984 Carlisle United (h) 5-1 (2-0) Division Two P38, 73pts, 3rd/22 Keegan(12,54), Waddle(39), Beardsley(73,77) Coughlin(80) 33,458 Vandals broke into the ground before this bank holiday game and sprayed slogans on the pitch related to an ongoing criminal trial. A claim of broken glass also having been scattered was found to be false and after the offending slogans had been painted out, the match went ahead as scheduled. Kevin Carr saved Alan Shoulder's penalty and also a follow-up shot with Keegan heading United's third seconds later as play rapidly switched to the other end of the field. Victory and favourable results in the games involving rivals Manchester City and Grimsby Town meant that promotion was in reach - United having a seven point cushion with four games remaining.

Aye, remember him being at Cosy Joes. The cheek of him, given how he hates the mags so much. Strangely didn't see him wear his FTM shorts in there though. I once got forcibly manhandled out of there for drunkenly giving him verbals. Dunno if he still gets in there like as getting older means I have rare night's in town these days.

Can't stand either set of fans either and certainly agree with you on the arrogance matter but Man u spend almost whole games trying to wind opposing fans up, certainly ours. Scousers are a peculiar bunch. I like the city. Stayed there many times and the people, in every day life are generally decent. Then they turn into cunts when it comes to football.

There simply isn't a set of more arrogant, antagonistic set of "fans" in the country.

So...Chelsea finish 6th, us 7th and Manure 8th we'd need Citeh to win to give us even a Conference league place?

Aye, forgot to say, in the event of them finishing 6th and us 7th. Suppose IF Cov make then we'll know who we need/want to win the final when it comes around.

Confused with all these permutations. Does that mean if either Manchester club wins the cup then 7th is enough? Damn it, can't even enjoy a potential Cov giant killing.

1-1 HT. Looked like a pen for Aberdeen just before the break. Think I reluctantly need anybody but Aberdeen to win the cup so my Scottish team, St Mirren have a chance of Europe. Currently 5th going into the post split fixtures.

I was thinking the same.

Unbelievable performance. Remember thinking they must score this time, but no.

Who are Spartans playing? Think it's across town to watch Blue Star at Blyth Town for me.

Obviously want us to have as great a chance of European qualification as possible but can't bring myself to be sitting in front of the box cheering on City/Arsenal. Ordinarily would like them and Liverpool to be beaten into oblivion, even though they're English.

Mate has been to Morpeth to watch his local team Worksop. Heading home now has said there's an overturned bus on the other side of the A1 with what looks like South Shields fans on board. Hope everyone is ok.
