Here's a little video compiled by my son (who was Trevor Morley's Breadknife, for those who remember). Sorry about the advert but it's worth waiting for.

We've got Payet!

The Mitre, Buckingham. 9.5/10

Five well kept ales, five TVs, cheerful and entertaining West Ham supporting landlord. Best pub in town.





But then I do own the place.

Anybody mentioned Len Goodman yet? Apparently a lifelong fan even though he voted off Pixie Lott on Strictly last season.

I know I get depressive about these things, but my money's on 1-0 to Astra or 0-0 meaning we go out. After the struggle we had last week away I can't see a win.

<Sigh>

The OS says only comments and updates will be given online tonight. It's back to Radio London for a commentary by the look of it.

Where's the purple FA Cup shirt? And why are the keepers in identical strips??

Think we did at home v Aldershot in early 90s in the cup - although technically I think we were the away team and it was a venue swap

Quite right - they swapped to the Boleyn in January 1991 as they had very limited capacity and they appreciated the gate money. We won 6-1.

Cracking result and £5 on at 8-1 to win - why I did that I can't remember but happy days and my week starts here!

Oh yes, still here.

No ticket for me either, so far. We should have a good few watching on Saturday in the Mitre.

Better that than the confrontational mess that happens now. Give them a proper way to resolve a problem and calm everyone down.

PS thanks Sicknote, quite right.

We don't need extra technology on the pitch. There is sufficient hardware already recording every Premier, Championship, Cup and international match, and all we need is a fourth or fifth official who is watching the same coverage that we are at home. A quick discussion on the radio and the ref is mu...

I don't think I've ever quoted the Mirror before, but this made me smile:

They are, in fact, over-vuvuzealous.

No, really?

Fate has seen the charismatic Diamanti chose the same No 32 shirt as the Argentine, though only because it is the date of his wife's birthday.

32nd of which month?

I think we'll need all the support we can get . . look forward to seeing you!

UKRAINE - ENGLAND GAME 8th OCTOBER

I have booked this game and will be showing it on two screens.

A few thoughts after a great night in the best atmosphere for many years (in a second round Carling Cup match, let's not forget) We dont know the repercussions yet, but if it turns away players, investors then congratulations mugs. The regrettable 'pitch invasion' by 50 or so idiots aside, last nigh...

No feeds that I can see at the moment.

Well not much of a shock really. A tragic end for him and for us.

And i use Footyonline.tv as well never let me down :thup: Aren't Sky missing a trick here - if they offered this service on a reasonable charging basis I reckon we'd all pay for it and get better quality (not that it's bad now or so I've been told ;o) ) - this 3pm nonsense has got to stop. Also it'...
