Re: Football
An incredible game, Eddie! 10 man City were dominant in the second half & bossed the game, but sometimes dominance doesn't always win you games. Wigan rode their luck & had one chance late on & put it away! As a neutral, I thoroughly enjoyed the game...Unlike my Brother, who is a Man City fan!

Wednesday, Wigan, Brighton and Leicester for the FA Cup Semi-Finals. You heard it here first.

Have you been on the Red wine again, John?!!!! To be honest, though, it would be nice to see that happen. It would make a refreshing change!

I’m hoping for a miracle: West Brom playing in the Premiership next season. Some hopes, eh?

Re: Football
It's looking very doubtful, Eddie. I don't think Alan Pardew was the right choice to take over from Tony Pulis. There's still time of course but the Baggies need a couple of wins and quickly.Eddie Muir wrote: I’m hoping for a miracle: West Brom playing in the Premiership next season. Some hopes, eh?

Re: Football
I agree totally, John. Three points today against Huddersfield at the Hawthorns would be a good start in their fight for survival.

Oh dear! Another defeat for the Baggies! Sadly, the Championship is beckoning.

Re: Football
It really is a mixed bag of emotions for you, Eddie. The delight that Brighton are doing well, but incredibly distraught that West Brom are doing so badly! If the Baggies could string two or three wins in a row, then they've got a good chance of regaining some belief & confidence to claw their way back up the league. Sadly, though, they've not any one who can drive them forwards at the moment. It's a big ask, but I hope they survive to see the Prem next season.

Re: Football
Thanks, Number 6. Great result for Forest today.
It’s certainly good to see Brighton doing well in the Premiership.

Re: Football
Cheers Eddie! I'm still in shock of us actually scoring goals! Yes, it's great to see the Seagulls doing well in the Premiership & I hope it continues. They've done really well this season.Eddie Muir wrote:Thanks, Number 6. Great result for Forest today.

Re: Football
Rod Wallace is injured now so the Owls have no less than 20 of their first team squad out. We made no subs in Saturday's game because only one of the named subs, the goalkeeper, was actually fit to come on. We've got no chance at Swansea in the Cup Replay tomorrow night.
