    Ipswich 2-0 up at Sunderland.

    I've seen a few pundits tipping them as dark horses for the playoffs... Could be ones to keep an eye on.

    So who’s the dark horses this season then?

    Luton Coventry & Sunderland surprised last season.

    Ipswich Plymouth Millwall & Stoke very early candidates possibly?

    Any other choice would be a crime of the century.

    Brilliant album and band.

    I regret never having seen them live. Crisis, what crisis?

    Here we go with a bit of name dropping. Unbelievably when they were starting out they played at Cardiff High School on Newport Road. I was in a band that was supporting them. I remember being gob smacked that the entertainment committee forked out £140 for them! Well it was 1970. Two years later, £14,000 wouldn't have got them. Eventually of course we'd be talking much bigger sums.
    Unfortunately, like you I never got to see them in their heyday but bought most of the albums.
    There you are, you can read that to help you sleep.

    Had the pleasure in 82/83 on their crime of the century tour. Somewhere in london, but a bit hazy.

    There was talk of Hodgson joining Yes during one of Jon Anderson's ejecting Teddy from the pram moments. I think he was asked but turned it down.

    Just checked. He did some work with Trevor Rabin and was asked to work with Yes but said no. He collaborated with Trevor Horn in writing "Walls" for the 90's Yes Album, Talk.

    I just cannot believe that! On what basis did they make that decision?

    They must have been watching a different game because apart from his toe poke finish off Ramsey's deflected shot, he was almost as poor as Grant on the day.

    It’s somewhat artificial.
    He got a goal and an assist which is the barometer they use for marking a striker.

    Really bad performance then only a goal and one assist, must do better.
