I just wish I had put more on it than the £20 I risked in August.

Still - that's nearly half of the next season ticket.

The only team with a worse score than Bolton for red and yellow cards is Blackburn.

Re: Steve Death's Goalkeeping Record

Could be under threat again from Petr Cech. Currently nearly 9 league games since he last conceeded a league goal to Jermain Pennant at Anfield. (792 mins). By my calculations he needs to go another 3 and a half games to get the record which is 1103 minutes. Next 4 fixtures are: W Ham Away Newcastl...

I thought SC was considering this because Charlton are playing at 5.15pm today and have greater recovery time for their game against us. If we compete full on with Liverpool tomorrow I can see one or two players being replaced to freshen the side to enable us to meet a fully committed Charlton team...

Having watched them do us at Anfield and with their recent form, I don't expect anything out of this game.

If we keep the goal difference down to two, I think we will be doing OK.

OK , I accept that the East Saxons of Essex were not the East Angles of East Anglia, but the term is a pretty vague one these days.

I always think of East Anglia as being that bit to the Northeast of London, but I take your point.

I know we are closer to London than Colchester (40 miles as opposed to 54) but this is just plain ignorance, isn't it?
