when the lads claim a famous victory, you get on the wrong train but it doesn't matter cos it's not a workday and you buy "Match" for the Nobby Solano interview, notice that they are giving away Merlin stickers, think of how you never got any Toon players in these things when you were a bairn, open the packet with a real rush of nostalgia, expecting David Beckham or Michael Owen but finding that there are black and white stripes on that shirt and, feck me, it's only Super Aaron Hughes. Cosmopolitan also tells me it a Wahay Orgasm day for Geminis so there's more to come (so to speak). Ps. I should say, I;m still slightly pissed from yesterday.

You know this is all the pay back for my car getting done at Villa don't you - so just be bloody grateful!

Hi Dougal - it wasn't all good news was it? I mean what about the loss of your mobile or haven't you noticed yet? I called your mobile a short time after Leeds and was amazed when it was answered but it wasn't answered by you. Fear not - it's in safe hands and I've emailed you the details.

How bout a draw, Mackems booed off the pitch, and much moaning from their webcast, and MobilePhone there to watch another fine *snicker* performance from the Brazilian wannabee. Heh.

The Mackems were sh*te today. As an (uninterested) outsider, I couldn't tell which team was at the bottom of the league. What got me most was the diving and whingeing from the Mackems. Arrogant barstewards expected to get everything and when they didn't, they couldn't cope. (Almost) made my day. Still, it was nice to see them humiliated. Wudda been justice done if Windass had scored instead of putting it wide. Straight from the Bruce Grobelaar book of shooting!

Talking of Grobelob, has anyone read Patrick Collins column in the Mail on Sunday about him. What a nasty piece of racist rubbish our Zimbabwean friend is. I trust he gets banned from the game for life worldwide.

I laughed at the Mackems. They couldn't handle the pressure. As for the record attendance at the SOS, they never made a noise - not that they had owt to sing about.

It would have have been great to see Windass score, but I feel that the Mackems would have won if Windass scored. They would have raised their game and probably increased the tempo. As it was, the match never got off the ground.

The macums attendance was part of the multi-ticket scheme, they play MANU shortly and to get a ticket for that one they had to endure the lowly Bradford. As LR would say "you've only come to see man United"

Oh - you mean the majority weren't season ticket holders? Fancy that.

Thanks, Jonno. I also missed out on news that one of my best friends has had her baby, too. Notwithstanding, I'm always going there before travelling to games as it's obviously lucky.

My Cup runneth over: Aaron Hughes in this week's "Shoot".

-- Anonymous, January 22, 2001

You keep mentioning Aaron pet, but I reckon it's Moses we probably need...

-- Anonymous, January 22, 2001

Well, we certainly cudda dome with Moses in the derby last season. Would be nice if Divine Intervention dealt the Mackems a heafty blow in a coupla weeks - they deserve it.

LOL, Jonno. He comes across really well: will summarise later.
