    I've not got anything to say, it's just that I needed to break the silence as the suspense was killing me.

    RE: i'm glad someone did

    Over half an hour of silence on the BBS, less than one hour before kick-off. I don't know about anyone else but I'm too nervous to do anything. Apart from drink beer. And wait.

    I can't even get commentary down here as even the BarnsleyWorld stuff doesn't work properly over 28.8k dial-up so it's here and/or the BBC Sports Interactive thingy. I'm not sure whether that's better or worse.

    Now that is unlucky

    To lighten the mood a little here is a very poor joke copy and pasted (i take no blame for it) from some random site</p>



    Two men were sitting next to each other at a bar. After a while, one guy looks at the other and says, &quot;I can't help but think, from listening to you, that you're from Ireland.&quot;
    The other guys responds proudly, &quot;Yes, that I am.&quot;
    The first guy says, &quot;So am I. And where about from Ireland might you be?&quot;
    The other guy answers, &quot;I'm from Dublin, I am.&quot;
    The first guy responds, &quot;Sure and begora, and so am I. And what street did you live on in Dublin?&quot;
    The other guys says, &quot; A lovely little area it was, I lived on McCleary Street in the old central part of town.&quot;
    The first guy says, &quot;Faith and it's a small world, so did I! And to what school would you have been going?&quot;
    The other guy answers, &quot;Well now, I went to St. Mary's of course.&quot;
    The first guy gets really excited and say! s, :And so did I. Tell me, what year did you graduate?&quot;
    The other guy answers, &quot;Well now, let's see, I graduated in 1964.&quot;
    The first guy exclaims, &quot;The Good Lord must be smiling down upon us! I can hardly believe our good luck at winding up in the same bar tonight. Can you believe it, I graduated from St. Mary's in 1964 too.&quot;
    About this time a woman walks in to the bar, sits down and orders a drink.
    The bartender walks over to her shaking his head and muttering, &quot;It's going to be a long night tonight.&quot;
    The woman asks, &quot;Why do you say that?&quot;
    The bartender replies, &quot;The Murphy twins are drunk again.&quot;</p>

    Well, it certainly killed 30 seconds

    Perhaps I should have read it more slowly.

    I see Borussia Munchengladbach are winning. While we're on poor jokes, I assume you know the one about the most unpopular man in football? The bloke at a Borussia Munchengladbach game who shouts "Give me a B" . . .

    Never heard that one before

    But I could imagine it. A bit like the occasional lone singer you get in the east stand who I remember a few matches ago turning to the crowd and trying to get them started for ages, arms in the air and singing alone. After getting no response he just shoulted &quot;oh **** ya then&quot; and walked off.</p>
