Like your avatar, I was looking at the original in Southampton Art Gallery before the Walsall game, found it more appealing than the Warhol stuff! Didnt realise that Lowry had done stuff outside of Salford.
SaintBobby Posted 28 May, 2011 Posted 28 May, 2011 Are Huddersfield the Trotters? Thought they were the Terriers?
Window Cleaner Posted 28 May, 2011 Posted 28 May, 2011 Are Huddersfield the Trotters? Thought they were the Terriers? Aren't Bolton the Trotters ?

yorkie Posted 28 May, 2011 Posted 28 May, 2011 Personally don't have any preference today... Huddersfield tomorrow preferably as it's another close game in a Yorkshire town. Swansea tomorrow as we owe Reading big time - they are a local club for all you lot down south to go to! As for the big one at Wembley - just want to see a feast of football - but with all the hype it's bound to be sh*te. It's all going to end up Messi for Giggs I Imogen!
Deppo Posted 28 May, 2011 Posted 28 May, 2011 I'll be supporting the Gooners, the Hammers and the Globetrotters.
Seaford Saint Posted 28 May, 2011 Posted 28 May, 2011 I will at the game, I will be cheering on Reading....wearing a Reading tee shirt....no way would I wear a Reading footy shirt. My presence at Wembley is on the insistence of my wife who is a Reading fan......
Deppo Posted 28 May, 2011 Posted 28 May, 2011 I think that they should do away with the semi-finals and have all 4 teams competing in a Royal Rumble style game. The game will be played on a square pitch with a goal on each side of the square. Each goal is assigned to one of the 4 teams. Each team have to defend their goal and score goals in each of the other 3 goals. The first team to score in all 3 goals without conceding is the winner. If they concede, then they are reset and then have to score in all 3 goals again. It would mean that teams would then go and defend another team's goal if a team looks like winning. There would be all sorts of interesting tactics. The game could last 5 minutes or it could last 5 days.
Winnersaint Posted 28 May, 2011 Posted 28 May, 2011 Have lived and worked in the area for over 30 years. Our daughter was born in The Royal Berks I find it hard to dislike them much. Grudgingly I'll be rooting for Reading even though in my eyes they will ALWAYS be a third or fourth division team, plus they gave us Branfoot.
Hatch Posted 28 May, 2011 Posted 28 May, 2011 I love the Play offs. Best games of the season. Don't care who wins League 2, Huddersfield for League 1 and Reading for Championship. As I live in Berks and my oldest was born in Reading.
Mattio Posted 28 May, 2011 Posted 28 May, 2011 (edited) Trying to use up my credit on my ladbrokes so I can stop using it for pointless bets, so I have.... Manchester Utd, Palermo and Scotland - all to win 80/1 £1.00 Barcelona vs Manchester Utd Half-time/Full-time 25/1 £0.50 Barcelona vs Manchester Utd First goalscorer Lionel Messi + Barcelona win 2-0 28/1 £1.00 Barcelona vs Manchester Utd First goalscorer Park Ji-Sung 275/1 Barcelona win 3-1 £0.50 Swansea vs Reading Huddersfield vs Peterborough Stevenage vs Torquay 20/1 Edited 28 May, 2011 by Mattio

Is this game played with just one ball, or could it be a candidate for a true multiball system?
suewhistle Posted 28 May, 2011 Posted 28 May, 2011 Gulls, Trotters and Swans please. It's weekends like this when its great to be a sportsfan. Yep, my local teams tournament. I hope to get a few minutes against Juventus ladies tomorrow!

Dr Who? Posted 28 May, 2011 Posted 28 May, 2011 I had AFC Wimbledon, Torquay, Huddersfield and Reading back when the playoffs started...so come on Torquay, Huddersfield and Reading.
SNSUN Posted 28 May, 2011 Posted 28 May, 2011 to ggogo uupup. Dad's a Turkey fan. I think it'll be Stevo, Posh and Swansea though.
Dr Who? Posted 28 May, 2011 Posted 28 May, 2011 Have a soft spot for Torquay as it was the fist game I went to, and used to go there on holiday every year with the parents. So I really did not think they would get to the final and if they go up even better. I went with my heart on this one. I do not want Reading to go up, but just had a feeling they were the form team and on such a good run, like Huddersfield, who I do want to go up!
SNSUN Posted 28 May, 2011 Posted 28 May, 2011 Erm, stupid phone, sounds like I've got a stutter! Of course I meant that I want Torquay, Huddersfield and Swansea to go up.
Thedelldays Posted 28 May, 2011 Posted 28 May, 2011 to ggogo uupup. Dad's a Turkey fan. I think it'll be Stevo, Posh and Swansea though. into wham are we..?

1976_Child Posted 28 May, 2011 Posted 28 May, 2011 (edited) Come on Stevenage! Be nice to see them get into division three for the first time in their history. Torquay are a bunch of inbred westerners so they can suck my balls. Peterborough to win. Nicer away venue. One of the prettiest towns on the circuit, good pubs and restaurants. Made some friends up there this season, nice people - not that Udders aren't. Reading to beat the Welsh. Enough said. Although it would really **** off Cardiff which is always good sport. Edited 28 May, 2011 by 1976_Child
alpine_saint Posted 28 May, 2011 Posted 28 May, 2011 dont give a sh*t about any of them except Huddersfield to beat Posh. dont like Ferguson, also we want CMS if Posh dont go up. Wouldnt mind seeing Barcelona destroying ManYoo too.
Minsk Posted 28 May, 2011 Posted 28 May, 2011 I had AFC Wimbledon, Torquay, Huddersfield and Reading back when the playoffs started...so come on Torquay, Huddersfield and Reading. The 4 I would like to see promoted as well.
Badger Posted 28 May, 2011 Posted 28 May, 2011 Torquay. Huddersfield deserve it and I hope its a truly crap weekrnd for the Ferguson family( although P/boro likely to be weaker opponents next season for us). Swansea - having lived in Reading for several years I can't believe that sh!tty tinpot club of Elm Pk could be above us in the league.
Deppo Posted 28 May, 2011 Posted 28 May, 2011 That sounds absolutely mental. Is this game played with just one ball, or could it be a candidate for a true multiball system? 2 balls. Or 4. Or 1. I haven't thought that bit through.

I do recall watching something where you had to score across the street into a little hole in the wall, you would have something like 200 a side and you had no rules. What box office entertainment watching blokes beating **** out of each other.
benjii Posted 28 May, 2011 Posted 28 May, 2011 This has been absolutely woeful. It was relatively "end to end" and thus sort of entertaining, but then so are most school boy matches.
trousers Posted 28 May, 2011 Posted 28 May, 2011 Stevenage now in the same league we were in last season
RonManager Posted 28 May, 2011 Author Posted 28 May, 2011 Torquay blew that. Loads of chances, but all falling to Zebowski, who contrived to mess up every time.
SuperMikey Posted 28 May, 2011 Posted 28 May, 2011 Well done Stevenage, back-to-back promotions is a great achievement whatever league you're in. Their CB Michael Bostwick would be a good signing! Released from Man Utd in 2009.
Spudders Posted 28 May, 2011 Posted 28 May, 2011 I have a Stevenage, Posh, Swans treble going on. I had Torquay, Huddersfield & Swansea as a treble. Always a dissapointment when it's blown on the first game!

Swansea - having lived in Reading for several years I can't believe that sh!tty tinpot club of Elm Pk could be above us in the league. I used to go and watch Reading when I lived there and even went to the playoff final against Walsall. This was 2001 and they were the small club that you went and watched if Saints were not playing! We will catch them and could swap places with them next season, or end up above them again next season.
trousers Posted 28 May, 2011 Posted 28 May, 2011 I had Torquay, Huddersfield & Swansea as a treble. Always a dissapointment when it's blown on the first game! But there's always the comfort of knowing that the next two won't win either... ;-)
RonManager Posted 29 May, 2011 Author Posted 29 May, 2011 So today we finally bid farewell to League 1. If you see what i mean.
SaintRichmond Posted 29 May, 2011 Posted 29 May, 2011 Aren't Bolton the Trotters ? No, Rodney and Dell Boy are
RonManager Posted 29 May, 2011 Author Posted 29 May, 2011 I've never seen Old Trafford looking so blue.
