*Official* English Football Season 2007-08

[Jungle Jumbo]

I know

Did think it was a bit odd with you being a mod and all... can't have been in a mood for irony last night.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Hahahahaha, Heskey has finally done something of use, hahahahahaha.

 

[GIMH]

And Emile Heskey wins the league for Man U

 

[cpr]

Hmmm, feel like adding Emile to the choice in the 'who'd turn you gay' thread. Could honestly kiss the useless bugger ATM.

 

[headhunter]

Haha brilliant, Heskey you beauty.

 

[roseboy64]

Chelsea giving us the title.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Emile Heskey, I take back every one of those 12,643 times I called you a useless mule.

You gun!

 

[Matteh]

Spent the entire day calling my Leicester fan housemate Emile Heskey everytime he had a shot. Missed them all too.

 

[grecian]

Not there tonight, can't hack the pressure. I also hate seeing other fans happy.

That Setanta girl is ****able, in other matters.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Hull in the automatic promotion spot if things stay as they are. Is one of the great footballing trivia chestnuts about to bite the dust?

If so, Plymouth are the next in line.

 

[BoyBrumby]

If so, Plymouth are the next in line.

Was my next question, actually. Woulda guessed Peterboring myself, but glad it's not them.

 

[Neil Pickup]

We've just conceded the softest goal ever. Said **** a hell of a lot.

Yes, *Ignoring neils comment because I may explode with fury*, I wouldn't have thought the Posh were that big, but geographies one of my many weaknesses.

Actually that trivias been knocking around so long it may have changed, the second biggest, I mean. May be some ghastly "new" town or some growing suburb of somewhere frightful and Northern. Can't be arsed to look.

EDIT: apparently it is still the slime, thanks Neil.

Poole's a bit odd, have they ever even had a League team?

Proof there that franchise should of avoided MK and gone to Plymouth, theres not much of a side there at the moment.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Poole Town FC are in the Wessex Premier League (Level Nine). They are one of the best-supported clubs in the league, though - average attendance of 164...

Highest they've managed is 16th in the Southern Premier League in 1967, which then was the top level of non-league football.

Dudley Town, on the other hand, equally peaked in the SPL - and are now in the West Midlands League (Level Ten)...

In the FA Cup, Poole have reached Round 3 and Dudley Round 1.

**** me, we're playing 3-4-3...

Hmm wonder where WIrral would be if we had been granted city status back when we were supposed to be applying for it

 

[GIMH]

Dirty Leeds 0-0 currently at Huddersfield. Will be kicking myself for Saturday's defeat if it stays that way, as we would have been in with a very real shout. As things stand, likely to need them to lose two and draw one while we win all three and hope Brighton and Walsall **** up (Walsall currently are tbf)

Population of the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral is 311,200 - that would be ninth on the list, between Leicester and Coventry. The town of Birkenhead itself is only 83,729, though.
