Peterborough 5 Bolton Wanderers 4
I forgot my ticket so had to pay to get in, thus making it £40 to see us lose to a League One team. Brilliant. Zat Knight played for England. How this happened I have no idea. He's an embarrassment
-
Rovers 1 Wanderers 2
Don't want to put a dampner on this but I'm going on Saturday and my two previous Dougie games were Barnsley and Brighton, in which we were shite. So I apologise in advance for the turgid 1-1 draw
-
Fa Cup
If they beat Bradford then I fancy Brentford away. Three reasons: 1) You can stand up in the away end. 2) There's a pub on every corner of the ground. 3) I live 2-3 miles away

What We Reading
The Corner is an excellent read, you end up forgetting that it is documenting real life. The Rebus books by Ian Rankin are personal favourites, I also got into reading James Ellroy. Even though he. Writes sentences. Like this

East London.
Agree with Garrp, great place to live. No Tyldesley, but still pretty damn good
-
What Time Were You Home
Got into my house in east London at 4.15am. I was leathered

Car Parking For Wembley
My dad used to park at Stanmore and we got the Jubilee Line down to Wembley. You might be best checking that the Jubilee Line is running that day first though. PS Can't remember how much it cost

Biggest Disappointment
Deano at Wembley Carling Cup final (getting a train back to Sheffield with a train full of non-celebrating Boro fans was surreal and sickening) United equaliser just after Sir Les made it 2-1 at the Reebok The Barry Knight Rioch leaving (the manner of it, I was 11 and didn't realise that he would actually just fuck off after getting us up) Aaron Wilbraham scoring just after we'd come from 3-0 down to make it 3-3 at Stockport

No Black Armbands, No Minutes Silence For Nat In The Prem
It is strange the way they decide minute's silences though. I'm sure I've been at games at the Reebok where there were silences for Martin Aldridge and Jimmy Davies, two young footballers who died in road accidents but had nowt to do with us whatsoever. Also, wasn't there a Premier League-wide one for Ken Bigley? His death must've been tragic for his family an' all, but just being from self-pity city shouldn't automatically mean a minute's silence

Nat Lofthouse OBE - RIP
RIP Nat. How he was never knighted I don't know. He was, is and always will be Bolton Wanderers. Let's do him proud

Day 4 Final Test
I haven't been to bed yet. Today is going to be a write off. Just hope they can do it in next 20 minutes. Brilliant bowling and fielding

The Time Has Come
Just answering the question, that's all
-
The Time Has Come
Elmander against West Brom. Three days ago (four depending on if you read this in the morning) HTH
-
Day 4
Bar two days in Perth (and maybe the first in Brisbane) we have been so much better than Australia it's almost embarrassing. Fucking brilliant
-
Day 1 - Perth
He looks all kinds of rubbish. I'm tempted to stay up til 6 then reassess
-
Day 1 - Perth
I agree with that KP. Referrals aren't supposed to be used for marginal decisions they're meant to be used for shockers. If teams only had 1 then they'd only use them if they were 90%+ certain they were right. Strauss cocked up in 1st test because he was too eager to use them
-
Day 1 - Perth
I agree that it would have been given out every day of the week before the referral system (and with good reason) but when you're the opening bat and potentially 30-odd for 4 I can see why you'd refer that decision
-
Day 1 - Perth
SJM, A&T are all about the beer lad! Straight in the club after the match then up to Far Pav in Atherton. Or that's what it used to be, at least. This is when I went purely as a spectator/drunk though
-
Day 1 - Perth
Not sure KP, I thought he was outside the line. Only by centimetres, but I reckon he was. But because he's a massive twat I think it's the correct decision
-
Day 1 - Perth
Apologies for the language. I really hate Shane Watson
-
Day 1 - Perth
Done it again! As I posted Finny did him. Fuck off Watson you massive cunt
-
Day 1 - Perth
Ah right, I bet you'll have faced a few from likes of Sammy Nick and PB then. Does Brooksy (Sean) still play for you?
-
Day 1 - Perth
I'm 26 SJM. Played from 9 until 18 but didn't really play after 2002 when I went to uni. still know a few people there though
-
Day 1 - Perth
Matt Prior behind the stumps today reminds me of me in my days as a junior at A&T
-
Day 1 - Perth
Only slight gripe is that Jimmy isn't making them play enough. Damn, no wicket. I'm losing my touch
