Your best 'press' in my opinion.  The point made about the number of deaths when it shut down being smaller than when it 'reopened' particularly cutting.  I watched the game (£9.99 via Now TV) and it felt like I was watching somebody play a computer game.  I wont' be paying another £9.99, but I'm institutionalized enough to care about the results and 'maybe' watch without paying.  Like you say, it's just the games that get in the way of enjoying being a fan...

As for the performance, I think we need to play 2 up front to score enough goals to get the wins to stay up and play Jack more centrally.  Unfortunately I don't think we will (stay up), based on last night's game.

That's because the host server people are pissing about. It should have been fixed a week ago.
