You'll have to try harder than that Tony. Sent you a pretty pointless PM the other day btw. Just ignore it. I know you're swamped at the moment.

There's a great sporcle quiz in the football corner. Did pretty well. Funny what age does to us. The 90's ones were easy. The players I missed were mostly over the last couple of years.

If you mean you sent that PM (two actually) to me Next Door, yes, I will be replying, probably today. It did not seem pointless at all, particularly one matter you mentioned. I'm about 10 days behind at the moment.
I never got those you sent me here, via your I-pad, of course......;)
Not quite how I dreamed it last night Posted by Jac35
UL! Watched 2nd half. As a nuetral (and having watched my fair share of 10 man teams beat 11) it became fairly obvs that it wasn't their day! Also the amount of passes they put astray was woeful. Personally, think QPR are a better addition tho! soz. On better news...I'm still reading your diary. Gl

I disagree with this. It was a tight game but the only team that looked like scoring (even when it was 11 aside) were Derby. QPR's goal was their only shot on target.
As for QPR being a better addition.........kinda agree but their "big" names are mainly well past their prime.
Unlucky Paul, I can empathise cos I was at Wembley when Hull beat Bristol City 6 years ago in the playoff final. Been all downhill for us since then. Difference is you have a young, genuinely talented and well drilled team. A real credit to the manager and the fans. Nailed on to come up next year mate. Footy sux sometimes but you can be nothing but proud of the way your side played......

disagree massively!!! a daft foreign owner with a manager who can only cope when millions are thorwn at him and a bunch of failed premier league players who are overpaid are a better addition to the prem than a team who have played excellent football all season and on knowhere near the same financial resources, i think not, derby are a proper football club, well supported and were by far the better team today and over the season, crying shame that today.

yeah was pretty much along the lines of what I was trying to say.............but you put it so much better haha
Just about recovered from yesterday. By far the worst I've ever felt after a game. We played pretty well but for once just didn't have the final ball. We've scored for fun this season but never really looked like it yesterday. As we got to the last couple of minutes I was saying to the guy I went with that we shouldn't take any chance and just get to extra time. Then we mess around with the ball in our own half! I'm convinced if we had gone to extra time we would have made it. We were spreading the play constantly and they would have been knackered. In all fairness they defended terrifically well. Pity that Martin had a poor game for once. Trying to stay positive about next season but I fear we could potentially lose the whole of our midfield and then we would essentially be starting all over again. Thorne, who I thought was very good yesterday will not sign for us now. He's already stated that he wants Premier league football next season and he's definitely good enough/ Bryson is at an age where he will want to play in the top league. I'd be very surprised of no one took a punt on him. Goal scoring midfielders are hard to come by. Hendrick and Hughes will also be looked at by Premier league clubs. It's all very well saying that we don't need to sell but when they want to go, that's pretty much it these days. Martin also may be in demand. Lower Prem clubs might take a chance on him. 20 goal men are hard to come by.
First time I've been to the new Wembly. Absolutely stunned with how good it was. Actually thought it was more impressive than the Nou Camp.
....
Need to get a break in tourneys this month. Had a ridiculous pot in a £10 B/H this evening with about 30 left. Interesting play from opponent lets say. Pot was for huge chip lead at that stage. 2 mins later and the button mins. He's done this every button for the last hour or so. I find 10's in the small and shove my 15 bigs. "Oh lovely, he has KK!" So didn't even cash in that.
Anybody else find that the player who has sucked out on you at some stage is often the guy who eventually knocks you out? Like this one tonight. He'd minned earlier and I'd 3 bet AA. He peeled, which was for 40% of his stack and then shoved the 10 J 2 flop. Snap time. He has 10 8 and gets there on river. Pokers bollockks sometimes
....
However, in other Jac news. I've had a bash at the SNG promotion this last week. After 9 games I was on 103%. Thought I would consolidate by playing dyms for the rest of my games. Won most of them and ended up on 82.4% for my 15 games. Should hopefully be enough. Donttelmum has had a stunning return from his 15 games and so he's locked. Also a friend of mine with a few games to go has over 100% at present. He should make it as well and so it could be a interesting game if I hold on. Always find it tough when you play against people you know. Well, I do anyway. Been on the same table as CPFC a couple of times recently and he's enjoyed knocking me out of both tourneys with his usual flat with mid-pair against my big hand and then flop a set. He's really quite annoying. Would be nice to bust him from the SNG final if he does get there I fear it would most likely be the opposite as usual though with him tapping in "ul mate" in the chat box and me through gritted teeth writing "nh mate, tid"

Good luck today, Paul.
Now lets see how much you know about your Team - name these players.......
I never got those you sent me here, via your I-pad, of course......;)
