The sad part for me, Paul, is that you will be keeping him until the end of the season rather than only until the end of this month ;)

I know....won't be the same though, him not being a Palace player...Still good luck to him, I wish him well....Sad thing is I might have to follow Man U for a little while.

Would have suited me if Wilf went to United straight away too.

I'm hoping he now has a dip in form....starting next Wednesday. In fact I'll be happy if he scores a couple of own-goals. :D

Decided to go to today's cup game.

Odds are 7/2 against a Town win.

Not good enough for me, given the way we've been playing. Besides the local bookies' odds are always slightly worse for a Town win....I assume that's due to the number of win bets they receive?

Reduced entry of £10, all areas - unreserved seating. May take the opportunity to sitting in the posh seats for once. (Not the real posh ones - they are padded for the hospitality guests).

A much improved performance from the Terriers today...first half so-so, but a good display in the second albeit against an uninspired Foxes showing.

The fact that Pearson felt the need to bring on his big guns midway through the 2nd told it's own story. Despite that, we had a couple of good chances to take the lead before we won the penalty from which we scored. Leicester upped the tempo after that, but still had only 2 chances all game (both from Wood), one of which was saved, one which was scored.

I'm tentatively looking forward to the Palace game on Weds now! :D

Forest didn't turn up did they Moby. I'd heard they thought it was an away match so the fans played lol.

Might as well have done for all the use the first team were.

According to Watford's biased version of the game we basically had nothing of note to worry about and the Hornets took their foot off the gas in the second half, saving a little for Bristol City on Tuesday no doubt.

A rare treat for me today. A televised match (terrestrial tv) that I am actually at home to watch. A bonus that it's liverpool.

Most of the ITV Champions League matches this season seem to clash with Tuesday night home Town games.

Half-time and 2-1 to oldham.

Same old L'pool failings...just not tough enough. Both goals were awful defending. :(

We weren't at our best yesterday and were lucky to come away with a draw. We didn't help ourselves by fielding some of our pensioners and molehills on the pitch hampered our Brazilian style of football. It's just lucky that Romig's forwards should have gone to Specsavers otherwise it would have been more embarrassing for me than it is!! We'll have to finish the job off at the King Power.

Got to say though, Romig's lot played well. Why don't they do it every week?

Mob's crew of illegal Italian immigrants are getting a bit close for comfort!!

Seems a tad generous R unless you mean we'd have to pay someone to take him off our hands. Pepe Reina must be seething watching this lot!

I think I sneakily agree with you John. No time for Suarez myself - but then again, if he played for us!!!

It's one of those things isn't it - you put up with him because he's pretty good and he plays for you - if he didn't he would get a slaughtering - such is football :roll:
