Lovely story.

Some cracking goals in tonight's Real Madrid v Man City match.

Newcastle's success against foreign teams continued in fine style today with a 4-0 win over Tottenham Notspurs.

Bollocks. Liverpool and Arsenal losing at home have almost certainly given the title to Man City. Well done to Crystal Palace and Aston Villa.

It was predictable, but I didn't think it would happen for another couple of weeks at least.

Some remarkable goings-on at Selhurst park this afternoon.

Nowhere near as remarkable as those at Wembley - but you weren't to know that.

I do like to get an odd snippet here and there into the press. I'm following (on Graun text) the Brighton v Man City match.

Speaking of terrace favourites, here’s Peter Walker, retired chess correspondent to the Ilford Recorder group of newspapers: “You mention the ‘chess-heads’ in your recent paragraph. The real geeky chess buffs may have noted a chess-related link to today’s affairs: the song Sussex by the Sea, played by the band earlier, was written by one Mr. Ward-Higgs, who was himself a bit of a chess player and donated the Ward-Higgs trophy which is competed for annually by British counties’ first teams at correspondence chess - where moves are sent by post! Essex have a very good record in this event.”

I think perhaps we should start a forum competition for nonsense like this... ;)

Poor old Leeds United are suffering at the hands o QPR and now must almost certainly go into the play-offs. Ipswich need only 2 points from 3 games to overtake them.
