BWP scored on his debut, then seemed to just get progressively worse over the next 3 years. Also David Connolly at Oldham last year. Remember it well, I was there. Came on as a sub, then broke through 1 on 1. Sent the 'keeper completely the wrong way from a challenging angle. Thought we'd found an absolute gem there. It's a shame because he's probably the best finisher in the club, if only he wasn't stuck in the treatment room all the time.

I think you're on fairly safe ground there.

Stern John for me. Turned up for pre season training claiming he wanted to earn a new contract. We offered him one when the takeover went through, then he f**ks off to Palace. The worst bit was he blamed us saying we took too long to offer him a contract. Don't like Phillips or Fuller either.

Personally I'm not that bothered about it either, but the whole thing just seemed so half baked. The anniversary has been built up to an extent in the media and with the sash shirts, then when the actual dates turns up it's a complete none-event.

These guys have got the right idea.

Anone else think the 'celebration' of our 125th year was a bit naff? I'm sure it was a memorable event for all the kids involved and I don't begrudge them that, but as a spectacle for the fans... I was hoping to see a few old faces. Perhaps some of the '76 Cup final team and the cup if they could get their hands on it.

Great win! Really should have been another of our 5 goal hammerings but nobody told Guly that. Excellent all round performance, although there is still room for improvement. Jaidi is just too slow and a side which isn't complete gash will embarass him soon. Lambert still isn't firing on all cylinders, but it will happen for him eventually. Keep him in the side. Davis - 6 Not much he could have done for their goal and had very little else to do. Still looks a tad flappy. Great save first half. Richardson - 8 Is starting to look much more comfortable and sharper. Jaidi - 6 Good in the air as always, but feck me he has the pace and agility of sap running down a tree trunk. Fonte - 8 Class defending and a well taken goal Dickson - 6 A couple of decent crosses but gave the ball away a fair bit. Needs more games to prove his worth. AOC - 7 Didn't have a jaw dropping game, but worried them with his pace Chaplow - 8 MOTM Ran the midfield and edge Hammond because of his goal. Lucky not to get a red for a 2 footed lunge second half. Hammond - 8 A strong captains performance. Lallana - 8 Took this p*ss all afternoon Barnard - 8 Industrious and scored a belting goal. Lambert - 6 Just doesn't look like scored. Decent assist though. Subs: Guly - 6 Well taken first goal, but fluffed a 1-on-1 BWP would have been proud of. Not all that effective. Holmes - 8 Had an excellent game. Think he took the free kick that lead to one of the goals. Connolly - n/a Didn't really have time to make much impact.

Still not as bad as Kanu.

Sanctuary?

Only driver change so far is Williams dropping Hulkenburg for Maldonado. Bad move IMO. I'm guessing they were somewhat forced into it by financial reasons having lost their sponsorship from RBS and Air Asia, but Hulk trounced Maldonado in GP2 in '09.

Stuart is such a w**ker

A large onion keeps most of them in. The problems start when you get home and remove the onion. Make sure you have plenty of paper towells, it's like Krakaota going off.

Actually the world is getting darker. Global warming and all that.

So we're definitely signing Antonio now then. Seriously though, this is pretty crap news.

I'd have said yes, even without knowing those two facts.

Wotton Pulis Forecast Holmes either needs to deliver something or go because we've seen feck all of him in over 2 years.

Great shout. Something a bit 'Rachel Stevens' about her.

You beat me to that one. Talk about not playing to your strengths, some of those girls are like a midget in a high jump contest.

Mercedes F1 driver Nico Rosberg.

My faves, most of which have already been covered were: Beattie shutting the Skates up after they had booed the minutes silence for Ted Bates. Beattie at West Ham, winning it in injury time then a big pile up into the net. Rasiak at Derby, just for the emotion of it. Pahars vs Skates Pahars jumping into the crowd against Liverpool Kenyne Jones, always good for a few somersaults. Channon, obviously Skacel, always thought his celebration was odd, but kinda cool Walcott vs Stoke. McQ grabbing him and dragging him back towards the Northam.

Actually I've changed my mind about Petrov after seeing his reaction to Alonso giving him the fist. Swerving towards him, then calling him a w**ker.

I'm actually delighted with this. Firstly because I've liked Red Bull since they were Stewart, all the way through the disappointing Jaguar years, then Coulthard's stint with the team. Vettel... I'm undecided. I always quite liked him, but he really acted like a tw*t in Turkey. Was really p*ssed at him when he wiped Jenson out at Spa when it was looking so good for McLaren. Overall though, asside from Red Bull's favouritism and the finger, he aint bad for a German. I think I like him more for just not being Alonso/Ferrari. Also good to have variety with a new WDC and Red Bull having their first WDC/WCC too. Been a great season though, after it all looked so bleak in Bahrain. I wish McLaren had been a bit more competitive, but for a neutral I'm sure this year was great. Good Points The McLaren partnership - Everyone saying there would be squabbles and Jenson would get his arses handed to him. In reality there seems to be a decent harmony and Jenson has very much kept Lewis honnest. 5 excellent wins to, including the best of the season at Spa. Kubica - Really taken that Renault places it didn't deserve to be (sorry Ponty). Hopefully he can get a win next year. No driver dominating - 5 different winners and the Championship leader didn't win a race all season. Really amazing stat. Belgian Grand Prix - It was brilliant. Michael Schumacher - Arse handed to him by Rosberg, never even got on the podium. Damon Hill giving him a penalty in Monaco was the icing on the cake. Up yours you cheating craut w**ker. Kobayashi - A very solid debut season. People said he was overhyped after last years cameo, but he has put in some decent performance Bad Points Ferrari - I don't care what anyone else says, I hate it when they fudge results like they did in Germany. Massa - A waste of a very good seat. I've never seen why people rate him at all. Pay drivers - Petrov and Yamamoto just aren't up to it. Hispania - Been a bit of a farce. Bahrain, Barcelona et al - Absolute borefests. There were probably a couple of others that boring, but they hardly stuck in my mind. Red Bull Favouritism - You can see why, being an Austrian company, but Webber seems like a smashing bloke and deserved so much better.

Crap grid if like me you don't want Fernando winning. Let's hope he retires.
