    Big game this and a big test of our promotion credentials. Nervous. I would take a point if offered that now.

    Main issue is that when I throw my socks and pants towards the laundry basket at the end of the day, the amount I get in tallies with the goals we’ll score the next day. One item = one goal etc, all three is three or more. I missed them all last night, so our best hope is that it’s a 0-0 bore fest.

    Could it be reminiscent of those scenes sports-laureate Alan Partridge ruminated on after witnessing a bucolic bare-knuckle bout?

    "two men fighting, as I saw in the barn that night, naked as the day they were born. Fighting the way God intended. Wrestling at points. I don't know if you've seen Women In Love? The marvellous scene by the fire? It kind of resembled that."

    Tough game but fancy us to have too much for them.

    1-2

    Have you ever tried the pants overhead kick? You can also make it a two stage move where you flick them up over and catch, then turn and 'shoot' into the laundry basket.

    Yes, I have a lot of time on my hands sometimes.

    There is far more here about men casting off their clothes than I expected on match day…

    The 1996 CL final was infamous for being settled that way. Crazy times to "make The Game more entertaining," they had Diana Ross improbably taking penalties at that year's World Cup too!

    The key part for me is that one of the pairs of socks got caught on one of the legs of said basket, so it'll be interesting to see if that tallies with hitting the woodwork, or if it counts as a goal. We'll know by 5pm.

    It’s an old man thing. It’ll come to you one day, if you are spared.

    I think you’ll find the ref blew up for an infringement & therefore you have to go again. Ps. Don’t **** it up this time.

    Well 4-4 last time and that was when we ...
    a) Didn't have Downes, THB or Fraser
    b) Didn't have Edozie, Aribo, Charles, or Alcaraz v2.0
    c) Had McCarthy in goal

    I'm worryingly optimistic, a confusing emotion
