6 points from the last 30 for Deadly.

33,000 at Boro. Biggest crowd in the Championship this season apparently.

Derby. Bloody Hell. Brentford in the play-offs.

Watford chuck away the title in the last minute of injury time.

We've already got a club anthem. Don't know why they don't play this pre-match, it's got a great sing-a-long chorus:

They were one of the top four supported clubs in the country in the mid-70's, when Trevor Francis first started playing for them and Villa were in the Third Division. It comes down to lack of trophies in the end. If they'd won what Villa have, they'd probably be getting the sort of crowds they do now.

"With one eye on the future, the group hope to get supporters behind a single chant pre-kick off, which could replace or complement the music which currently greets the players as they walk out of the tunnel on to the pitch." I think that having a club anthem would help kick start the noise before a game. Dim the lights pre kick-off like City and Chelsea do and play a montage of old footage from the White Horse final, to Bruce and the boys, to the Euro aways, etc. on the big screen whilst playing the club song. If the whole stadium looked like this, it would be quite impressive:

20,000 Days on Earth. The Nick Cave documentary on Film 4 last night was pretty good. This is one of the final scenes with a kick-ass rendition of 'Jubilee Street':

I think they need to win tomorrow to avoid officially being the worst team in Championship history.

Before the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley, they played 'Delilah' for the Stoke fans. Then we got some turgid shite by a band no one had ever heard of. It was them.

It's a matter of time before Pearson chins someone at one of these press conferences. Pat Murphy is an arsehole. For him to accuse anyone of bullying is laughable given some of the 'interviews' he's conducted with managers in the past.

Interesting listen. He has a knack of saying the right things about the fans. There was even some uncharacteristically intelligent questions from the supporters at the end.

Home to Huddersfield on Saturday. Could be tasty.

Which criminal?

The account of her 'final' hours is in that Guardian link above. Apparently the whole process got as far as her saying goodbye to her kids before they reprieved her.

'Fuck 'em' comes pretty close.

Nigel Pearson's latest meltdown: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32527129

One of the people who was due to be executed yesterday: "According to Sky News, Mary Jane Veloso, who was arrested in 2010 after arriving in Indonesia with 2.6kg of heroin, escaped death after a woman suspected of planting the drugs gave herself up in the Philippines on Tuesday. Her temporary pardon may lead to the cancellation of her conviction."

It's a token gesture designed to make people think they're actually doing something productive, when what they're actually doing is rubbing out a few foot soldiers instead of the generals. If they really gave a shit, they'd do the job properly.

Shooting a few couriers won't change that. How many of these countries are actively involved in stopping the trade at source? Either they can't or they won't.

Their ground isn't in a better state. Doesn't look like it's going to be completed any time soon.

Not sure which one's worse Rod Hull's Rovers or The Wurzels City song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCZBWSj-Yzk
