lunatic38 added 18:23 - Nov 28 my money is on an inspired performance from ITFC (Irish Town Football Club) and our defensive tactics have some success and we will only loose 6-0, i might even push the boat out and we will get one shot on target!

rayman_10 added 18:32 - Nov 28 This is great for me cos my dads beat mate is a millionaire and he owns a box at Chelsea so we went there for the msk zalina game and said we can come back any time we want! Were In the process of ringing him now! It was great cos we got to meet all the Chelsea players (and had a cheeky smoke with Carlo ancellotti) and met the old players such as Peter bonetti chopper Harris and Kerry Dixon and co. But more importantly this time around we get to have a drink with the opposition so should be a great day out, it's not impossible because Chelsea are weak at the moment but they should have lampard Terry and co by then..... Crap! Anyway here's to a good day out COYB!!

bradforblues added 19:08 - Nov 28 PeterMorris - was the Duncan era that bad !! Did he get us relegated like Burley did or like John Lyall did until he left, did he blow a 5 point lead at the top of the table in Feb like Royle did !! Did he spend millions only to see us get stuffed by the budgies !! Put things into perspective - how we'd grab for Duncan's top ten average-ness !!

petermorris added 19:16 - Nov 28 bradforblues... its not the stats - it's the hopelessness of it all. But some of us have been on about this for months.
