Anyone care to venture a guess as to which three matches are be featured on Newton Heath and Guests The Premiership tonight? I have the advantage and can reveal that one - no doubt the half-hour "Feature Attraction" - was a 0-1 encounter between two usually red-attired teams (and I notice that Taggart forgets about his media boycott when his team's just won), and was by all accounts boring as f*ck. The others feature teams from North Laaahndan, one the current media darlings and the other like that castle in Monty Python and the Holy Grail: in England but full of Frenchmen.

I'm not fecking watching. I'll wait 'till Goals on Sunday on Sky. It's come to the sorriest of sorry states when I start to wax nostalgic over Mark Lawrenson and Trevor Brooking.

I"m thinking 606 should be renamed the Spurs radio hour, since Littlespur seems to be finding every conceivable opportunity to bring them up. Got in a mention for a Spurs supporter thinking they should buy Kevin Phillips in the middle of a Mackem having a rant about how they've only won 7 league games since last January.

Only mention of us so far was at the top of the show when he stopped himself from speaking our league position. ;-)

Good job I was lying re. not watching it: looks like we're going to be the big match featured at the end.

Mind you could almost hear the commentator creaming his jeans, describing ManUre's "green shoots of recovery", as supposedly evidenced by their flukey win in Smogland, and Taggart's subsequent "beam in the eye" and "spring in the Step". As if the dour sod deserves affection.
