A recommendation, if you haven't seen it Glory, true story about the first recruited black regiment in the American civil war. One of my favourites, and follows the reality faithfully, drawing on the diaries and letters home by it's commanding officer. Film4, 9pm. I am left wondering how...

I'm driving to Wigan tomorrow, can fit 3-4 people in. Message here in the first instance, then someone can explain to me how to PM. I went to the ground after work for my tickets, missed closing. The lady explained that you can potg tomorrow, but it's cash only. So that's what I'm doing...

Sorry if this has been asked before. We must have a fair few musicians on here. Anyone not currently committed to a project fancy getting together for a jam sometime? I'm a basser, my best style is classic rock but more or less happy to have a go at anything.

Sorry for the late notice everyone. I'm driving to the game today, if anyone wants to go you're welcome to climb in.. Im in Bispham, leaving 12-12.30 at latest

I haven't seen any TV coverage qt all, no highlights nothing yet. So all I have to go off is they looked two decent shouts from the West. What's the view of anyone who's seen closeups / analysis? Or was the ref just invoking EPL Emergency Rule No1 - to give a penalty, the Premiership team...

This has been absolutely the right decision. The BBC have gone to some kind of re cycling programme. There was a real danger that, with the game called off, Alex Scott would have to try and fill in for three hours or more. Scary stuff.

Anyone else there tonight? I've seen them a few times now, but Jeez that was very good.

I think his recent games have gone under the radar a bit. Start of the season he was a regular part of a rather pedestrian and laboured midfield, and he (probably rightly) made way for a good month. Starting with his sub appearance at Oxford, I think there's been a noticeable difference in his...

I can't add anything to what's already been said, well played the whole team, great win. So unfortunately rather downbeat, or maybe just realistic, but it needs paying attention to. We fell foul twice yesterday of the ridiculous new rule about kicking the ball away. Two booked, and with...

Amol Rajan taking over from Paxman tonight. Good choice that. I like Amol, knowledgeable bloke, good SOH. For any cricket fans he's written a really interesting book called Twirlymen, labour of love about the history of spinners. Great read.

Just got in, switched the TV on. Still on the channel I left it earlier, and there was what appeared to be a 50/60s crime drama called Dial999 on. Only several seconds after switching a newspaper headline appeared - Another Big Fur Snatch. Fortunately I'd already passed the i button and seen...

It's just happened in the Utd Brighton game, we had one at Brum yesterday and there's probably a double figures number of them somewhere every weekend. This business of the linesman not flagging immediately. Crazy rule. And to cap it all it's Chizzy's main bugbear too, so palpably time to...

Just watching Griff on the One Show. Always made me laugh, so when he announced a tour I thought I fancy that, let's see where he's on. For anyone else of similar mind who hasn't looked yet, the "British tour" doesn't seem to get any further north than Hemel Hempstead.

The team gives its all every week, love Mick's general laid back enthusiasm (if that makes sense), he's starting to get our more creative players involved. Maybe it's been an issue for a while - I wasn't really counting - but in Mick's games to date the number of even half chances, let alone...

I'm fairly certain you once said you don't read I/net stuff, but who knows, maybe someone will show it you. We've just created more, and looked a decent threat, in the last 15-20 mins of that game than we have in the other 3 3/4 of your games to date. Admittedly the situation was forced, and...

Hate postponements. Throws the whole weekend out of kilter. So I've been for a walk, and let the memories flood in. From the side of the pitch: A little bloke who sold programmes, universally known on the Paddock as Rolf, seemingly because he had a beard. Always gave everyone a cheery thumbs...

Assuming it is him of course. He will arrive with a huge and, more recently, fairly justifiable preconception of being just a long ball midfield bypasser. Our first two games back last year were a harsh and quick lesson in how the Championship had changed since our last go. Coventry showed...

A group of 4-5 blokes I heard underneath the West at half time. God knows where they came from, but they appeared to be enjoying themselves. I think someone posted recently about groups travelling to games from the continent, looks like this was another. I'm no linguistics expert, I'll guess...

Basing this on who we currently have fit, plus the likely additions of Rogers (now confirmed) and Bowler. MA seems to want to play 4 at the back if at all possible, so in CC's absence Lyons into RB and a combination of Marv/JT/Hubby and Hubby/Dom almost picks itself right now. We have 4...
