    You need to see how things work on Cricket-Match-Special.

    On there, I have the reputation of being somewhat of a Jinx.

    .......and I thought Carlisle might just beat Ipswich.........

    Now, if only the Tractor Boys had signed some of our old players in the Summer - strange none of them ever wanted to sign for them, isn't it ?...........

    I went to Swansea v Barnsley last night, it was a great experience to follow up on my visit to the Liberty last weekend to see their game v West Ham.

    A very impressive team, Swansea <ok>
