Please don't say EPL "Premiership" is bad enough without having to North Americanise it. Anyway, my picks for promotion are Man City and Coventry (automatic) and Bradford (play-off). That said, I think Wolves, Brum and Sheff. Utd. (and that hurts) will be there or thereabouts. Going...

Good ref shocker exclusive The wee Angelo. Don't know if he does Metro games any more, but he certainly does games in Burnaby. First class. Sensible decisions, and a good sense of humour. It is probably too much to ask that our local refs get it right all the time, but it's not too much...

Rumours I've still yet to hear the truth about what happened to Chiasson's team. I was told that they "defaulted the final", but I have no idea about any of the details, other than he was playing for an Edmonton team. Indeed, I was probably misinformed about everything except the team's home...

Cartwheels On the bright side, that kneecap'll at least get him out of some housework for a few weeks. Lucky bugger. I don't suppose there's any video of that penalty.

The miss Captain, Indeed it was. But I'd rather focus on the superb angled run which got me into the space to score. ;) Just like Andy Cole, really. I hear that Chiasson's team had to default the final after losing their keeper to another terrible injury. If that's true (which it...

I, too, was 16. The lumbering oaf who managed to hit the bar from 3 yards, and then just about to manage to miss, after having half an hour to control and shoot. God, I was happy after that goal went in. 10 mins extra time would've killed me. My abiding memory of your performance was that...

Reffing There's probably another thread devoted to ref-bashing, but my comments relate specifically to the refs in Kamloops: I saw some of the worst refereeing I have ever seen this past weekend. No sense of humour whatsoever. In some games, it was a tribute to both teams that the matches...

So who's going to be relegated with my lot and Forest? I'd like to say Sheffield United, but I can't see it. Palace'd be nice, though.

subs I have to admit that when I first arrived on these shores the notion of unlimitied subs was somewhat ridiculous. However, since I have now experienced both 'systems', if you can call them that, (as player and coach) I have changed my tune. As a coach, I would be first to admit that...

Yes. And I'm not looking forward to it. Going to be ugly.

Had to leave early, so I didn't see our boys lose to the Germans. Jonesy, what the Hell went wrong? What's that? ... You missed a target man up the front? ;)
