Jeez Webbie, my goal difference is going to be even worse than ever after those results.

You tried that optimise service? don't know what that's like, but it's supposed to be fairly quick, as for using it for bit torrents, dial up is slow, but it gets there, but best done over night...

As for the U's...well kassam needs to pull his finger out and sort the side out before buggering off to where ever, need a decent manager that'll win, or get sacked before we drop any further down the poo.

I stole that little play on words from webbie. He's sent me a bill for it.
Yes it seems wee robbo was upset with the ref who sent off a hearts player last week for the same thing. He has a fair point. It's either a rule or it ****in aint, one rule for one etc doesnt cut it.

I see that another hun has appeared in the Locker Room. They're in first place for the first time in 14 months and they think they've won the league already.

Robbo is proving to be a bit of a loose cannon with some of his post match comments.

The blues have got their noses in front of the other team and the blues have pulled five points away from the other London team.

*Takes shoes off and bangs the floor*

"Oi ! Matt - what do you think about that ?"

Who's Robbo ? The one on the BBC Football site (also on Five Live) ?
Or somebody else ?

Have we rolled out the Tottenham end of season dance joke yet ? Or are we waiting for them to be knocked out of the FA Cup...

Footie Prediction League - have relegated CitySimon from the league - he hadn't done his in ages. Also will delete MisBish if she doesn't do hers next week.
Which will leave Mr Jambo_Hearts nearer to the bottom of the table.
Come on Tony. Pull yourself out of it.

_> On a final note: I hope that just because you can't frenquent your local because of work commitments Manc that it doesn't mean you'll do a Scotch03
and disappear all together.
You have every evening and every weekend to get the rounds in.

Don't make us come over there...

Who's robbo?
John Robertson
Second highest goalscorer in Hearts history and considered a legend among the maroon half of Edinburgh.
Frequently known as "The Hammer of Hibs" because he raped them on a regular basis. Yours truly's all time favourite player and current Hearts boss.

As we've seen with American TV shows - first the move then the cancel.

Richard Gough - new boss at Livi.
No coaching experience:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...on/4043875.stm

Jim Magilton - new boss at Oxford ?
As a Player-Manager, no coaching experience.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...wn/4051345.stm

I think I'm going to bang in my CV at Wolves.
I have absolutely no experience of coaching a football team so therefor I am more than qualified.

Meanwhile at the other end of the scale - Looks like Walter Smith is in there for the Scotia job.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...ls/4053193.stm
He is up against coach who does actually have experience of running a footie team. The only problem is with the SFA and if they will scrump up the price of a flight to and from Manassas to Edinburgh.

And finally....

Having trouble what to get the missus for Crimbo this year ?
How about the:

A mobile phone and vibrator in one.














I'll get me coat.

Could be interesting, but to be honest, never heard of him...so someone who knows the club a bit more from way back when, when was he at Oxford and the like?
