Another win for Lincoln tonight puts them 13 points (and a massively superior GD) above Bolton in third. Looks like they've got one foot in the second tier, for the first time since 1961.

I was in the Geordie fans bar in Dubai when it was 5-0 against Spurs in the same period of time. They were getting a bit lively.

I'd play our best team. There's no point weakening just to keep players available for Coventry, which isn't an especially important game. Wrexham, Derby, Bristol and possibly Preston are the six pointers we need to be winning.

Winner stays on?

The point is that taking a panenka is somehow perceived as trying to be too cocky and that one saved is worse than any other penalty saved or missed. It isn't.

This isn't Saints specific but having a panenka saved is not an embarrassing situation. I'd much rather a player did that than smash it wide or over the bar, where there's literally a zero percent chance of scoring.

It looks like he went and booted that blue 16 for no reason at all, the guys wasn’t even pushing and shoving. Looked like a complete d*ck move to me.

One day the work experience kid is going to stick the balls in the microwave for a bit too long and it’ll be like that bit in Home Alone where he grabs the door knob.

I’d say that came from matey behind taking a flying leap onto his shoulders and slamming his head into the post, rather than a punch. Proper lump that though.

We once bet MK Dons four times in a season, I doubt we’ll ever eclipse that as an achievement.

WTF was that?!

It was a red all day long and why would VAR be 'worried' that a big team would get knocked out?

I applied to that show. Told them I had an unstable personality and a strong prejudice against Swedish lingerie models. I never got a reply.

Imagine being 1-0 up, getting a man sent off on '38 and thinking, "right, nothing silly. Let's just see it through to half time and... oh fudge."

At what point do you start calling this WW3, I wonder? If you include USA, Israel, Iran, Lebanon, Yemen, Russia, Ukraine, Venezuela, UK, Azerbaijan, Sri Lanka, all the gulf states, Cyprus and the Kurds as all being involved one way or another, there's quite the Royal Rumble going on.
