I'd be happy with most of them at home, particularly no.10.

 

Avoid 4 or 7 and I'll be happy. Even 2 at home wouldn't concern me.

 

Still, need to beat West Brom a week Saturday first!

I'd be happy either drawing Burnley (and stuffing the dingles 5-0 again), or Bolton ( then we can repay Dirty Diouf for his cheating dive last Monday).

Why are they called the Dingles, Zag??

[Zagreus]

Because Bumley is near the Yorkshire border, and the famous scuzzy family from Yorhsire in Emmerdale are ... the Dingles. Slightly stupid, inbred - that sort of thing!

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

A-ha! I did wonder if it was an Emmerdale reference!!

 

Do they refer to you as the Battersby's!!?

[Zagreus]

No - simply, "The Bast@rds" !!! It's safe to assume that there is no love lost!! :-)

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Haha! Nice!

 

Well, can't see you having too much problem getting a result there - perhaps we'll meet you in the Quarters. Preferably up at Ewood as our record in Lancashire this season is second to none!!

[Zagreus]

Yes, it would be nice to have a home tie after we beat the Dingles. What do you think of the two new Notts Forest acquistions? I've been a big fan of Andy Reid for a while now - I think he'll be a good signing for Spurs.

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

I don't really know anything about him, to be honest. Looks a little chubby, though if he turns out to be the new Gascoigne or Rooney, then not a problem!

 

I'm presuming he'll be playing on the left-flank. We've been playing Ziegler there of late but he's a little lightweight, very young, and homesick too if reports are to be believed.

 

He won't feature tonight, but reckon we may see a bit of him against Pompey on Saturday.

Turf Moor is a bit of a craphole. Very depressing stadium.

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

It is when you go there with a shitty non-league club and lose abysmally.

[YELLOW]

A bit like you guys at Bristol City then.

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

And Stockport.

[Zagreus]

Yes, might have been posted before, but here is Turd Moor.
