does that mean its on TV or that Sarfend/Tarn have decided to play wi out a crowd?

 

The latter nt

 

RE: Bit thick & not well

OK love we've got a spare Friday night-fancy a trip to watch Sarfend</p>

who are they playing?</p>

Barnsley-or is it Burnley-I always get them mixed up</p>

no ta I don't think I'll bother -let's just go to the pub</p>

more to the point will we get a dodgy last minute equaliser this time?

Cannot believe BFC agreeing to this, their share of the takings could end up wi them taking a nett loss

 

here's the specially designed new away kit

 

You forgot

Kenny Everett style hand for Coulson to score wi

 

Atleast..

We could be the first team into the 5th round

 

Or

the first ones out?

 

you forgot............

a draw means we are both in the hat!

 

Picky picky

still thats statisticians for you
