It appears he can read my posts hence his comment or read my quotes when posted by other posters so what is the point of the IGNORE function;)
I helps to alleviate the feeling of helplessness of having to wade through yet more vapid nonsense in my experience. Maybe you shoud try it.

Nah I enjoy the banter.
Imagine its 1966 and you are a 6 and a half year old kid and England has just won the World Cup and you are living in Lancashire. You are no more than 30 miles away from the following clubs Preston North End, Blackburn Rovers, Burnley, Bolton Wanderers, Blackpool, Southport, Liverpool, Everton, Manchester City & Manchester United which would you choose?

I have a soft spot for Accrington Stanley.

I did a dissertation on Non-league football finance some years ago and of the 3 club's involved Accrington were the guys who really bent over backwards to help me.

My local club Aldershot Town were the most dissapointing.

I don't like sacking managers who have got a team off the bottom of the table and taken them to Champions league football once and to the brink of it again. But he should be gracefully persuaded to take a little restful time off before he's appointed to the England job.

No it's a home game.

A routine 3-0 drubbing of Stoke puts Toon in 4th for an hour or two (at least).

No pressure 'Arry. :)

Edit: over the last 6 matches they've racked up an aggregate score of 13-1 for all the points. Not bad eh?
