Just watched this week's University Challenge on iplayer. Leeds United were mentioned in one of the questions! Gotta be a good sign..I have a sneaking suspicion that The Fat Controller is going to lead us to a glorious victory down at the Cottage. Didn't hear any mention of Fulham!

SCENE: Lord's Cricket Ground Home Team changing room. Middlesex are second in the table. It is nearing the end of the season, and they are playing the team above them (at home, obviously.) This is their big chance to make a massive push towards the title! Middlesex are going to bat first.

Don't know why, but I've been thinking a lot about Tony Currie recently. For those who are too young to have seen him, he was a 24-carat footballing genius. In fact, I would put him on a par with Pele and Messi in that they are the only other players I have seen who possessed a surreal quality of

We survived the transfer window! None of our young fabulosos were filched by Norwich! Most of the talk concerned Byram and Mowatt, but I am astonished that nobody made us an offer we couldn't refuse for Lewis Cook. Now we need to get ussens into the top 6 by Jan 1st, or it'll all start again.

Not sure if I am banned from this list or not, but I'm so excited about yesterday I've decided to give it a go: The most expensively assembled side in the division were given a complete footballing lesson in the first half. At halftime, I was thinking It will probably all go rugby ball from now

I saw him score in the FA Cup. It was v Oxford IIRC and I joined a mate who had wangled an invite for some package involving lunch in the Captain's Lounge before the game. As we were finishing our meal, Ridsdale came round and he happened to mention that he had just come from the changing room
