Not sure how Blackburn can lose and draw 0-0 on the same day, but otherwise nicely done Dave

Slight typo at the bottom with Blackburn losing and also drawing with Wolves. Don't know whether you can get it altered now.

Thanks for pointing it out. It'll be altered soon and until then imagine it says "Wigan and Blackpool both losing".

I expect to see all three Wigan, Small Heath and Blackpool and see Small Heath go down due to mighty trashing :) which affect goal different :)

I have to agree with your misgivings about the fancy dress phenomenon, but it seems to have assumed the status of tradition now.

I saw the Arsenal protest.  Suppose it must be a pain having to pay an extra 6% on those London prices.

Arsenal stopped pretending to be affordable to working people long ago. It's an upper middle class football-themed entertainment  now and bollocks to them, frankly.

Cant agree about the folly of wearing fancy dress Mr Woodall -

It seems to have gained some momentum in recent seasons and whilst some of
the costumes are slightly bizarre you can't help but smile at the antics of the
regular away support -

As for what I chose to disguise myself - it certainly fooled quite a few of the boys
& girls that I know quite well -

Maybe you will enter into the spirit one year Dave - when we really do have
something to celebrate ?

Good article Dave really enjoyed it you are right Dave what if Ancelotti had gone for Bent instead of Torres just does not bear thinking about.

The only fancy dress I saw was some football team I didn't recognise parading around in claret and blue.

Edit: I mean black :-[
