Norwood's on Fire
You know, after the way our seasons have fizzled through March & April in recent years, I'd probably take just having a chance of something on the last day, even if it ultimately ended in disappointment, that being said I will deny ever making this comment + the whites are going up

What a difference a week makes
Hopefully I will perform a similar volte-face on Tuesday

Until it's mathematically impossible I should hope so too - mind you even then a quick dip into administration for someone and the odd unregistered player and .................. where there's life there's hope!

Norwood's on Fire
In 04-05 we had a good side (Iain Hume, Ryan Taylor, Paul Hall, Mark Rankine, Gareth Roberts etc) and were challenging for promotion all season. Basically it was between Luton, Hull & us for the two automatic spots.
Well Hull beat us at our place in March to pretty much nail us in for 3rd place, they cemented this on Easter Saturday. We were 2-1 up at Chesterfield and they were 1-0 down somewhere (I think it was Doncaster, might just be making that up). It was about 4.50 and all of a sudden you're thinking, well, we might still catch them...except that both Chesterfield & Hull scored last-gasp equalisers and that was that
Well anyway, a couple of weeks later I was on the Tranmere forum (won't post there naymore, too many Birkenhead ****heads) and I see a thread, "Hull go into administration!"
So I opened it, and all there was was a link with the same title, I clicked on it and am taken to a news site, that does indeed have the headline "Hull go into administration"
So my phone is in my hand straight away, I was dialling one of the lads pretty much there and then, and then I realised that actually it was one of the Rugby League sides that had gone into admin (I think Brumby supports Hull FC, so he might be able to confirm) and an awful, awful trick had been played on us all

BARNES OUT
Can't get over how much Gomes looks like The Count from Sesame St.
We had him a few weeks ago, he sent off one our players after really early on and then spent the rest of the game giving freekicks to us and booking Notts County players.
I have seen us muck up promotion many times that I'm still not totally confident but that was always to get into the Championship. Think we have everything needed to get out of this division, just want to keep this current from going and not be taking it to the last couple of games, I felt ill enough watching us hold on against a 10 man Bury on Saturday.

Oldham V Leeds, it's like a lower-league version of Everton-Bolton for me, there is no real winner
Hey dav, I'm free of all avatar debts, we play you in a few weeks. I got the dates mixed up earlier in the thread and IIRC we've already agreed to a bet in principle - still on?

Yeah 4sure. What was it again?
Have a nasty feeling about tonight, and its not just the kit. Would be more confident if it was at Leeds. Should have gone really, was playing football till half six so didn't think i'd get back in time but could have just about made it in the end.
