Well, 1stW, if you must know...! http://www.blofield.net/history.html I''m not the child, by the way (though I do know him)

Grrrr... grrr...

Vince, thank you for the advice.  I think it''s OK just to click Log In as you suggested, though it must have been dodgy yesterday for some reason (and no, there was nothing wrong with the cookie settings).  On another very minor issue, is it no longer possible to view threads in non-''flat view'', i.e. so you can see who''s replying to whom?  I hardly ever used to use it (& probably ended up ''replying'' to the wrong person as a result) but now the option appears to have gone, suddenly and ironically I''m finding it would be very useful to know what replies refer to which posts!  This very thread is a good example of where it would have been handy, so I could see your post underneath as I write, instead of Peter''s which is not entirely relevant.  Am I just being visually impaired or is the facility no longer available?

Hi, this is a very minor problem but I don''t seem to get automatically logged in when I visit the site.  I''m ticking the checkbox every time I re-log in and not deleting the cookies, but each time I return I am nevertheless described as a guest and have to log in manually.  Am I deliberately being frozen out of the message board?!  Generation

Yo Captain Hook, indeed I live & work in Berkshire so quite close (see a previous silly thread about organising orgies there.  Use brewery as midnight venue perhaps).  I used to work for Woodfordes.  Now there''s a fine pint!   Wish you could get it down here. Result: 2-0 to last year''s team. I think it would be interesting to compare this year''s Premiership team to a. the relegated one of 94-95 and b. the class one of 92-93.  Any offers?  Like Hook Norton I''m talking hard numbers here!

Windsor Canary, I''d be up for 5-a-side since I have missed playing football for a year now. 

Rub it in some wolf turd from the zoo and present it back to the club as winners of Worst Supporters award; I imagine it''s the only trophy they''re gonna get for the next century or so.  NCFC Div1 Champions - Premiership Class of ''04 Smiley face debut 

Well, too late now of course for any more speculations, since he''s already gone.  But I agree - at the risk of crying over spilt milk surely it would have been preferable to retain this particular Mr Dependable as defensive back-up, for the day when a couple of our first team players get knocks.  Needless to say, our squad is thin on the ground as it is.  Perhaps that aspect lends some credence to accusations of bust-ups, whether these are true or not.

Please - spare us the brilliant insights from the 606 board!

Ama must be on holiday otherwise he''d have had a field day scything down the negative comments in the past 24 hours since it sank in that we weren''t being handed any fresh talent. Speak, Amarillus: the crowd awaits your judgement!

Definitely agree, Hook Norton (good brewery by the way). Why choose to compare last season''s team, not this season''s?

You''re right, No. 63; though I admittedly owned one of those glum faces there was a secret righteousness inside of me knowing we''d played bl**dy well in the 2nd (credit to everyone including our support), and actually deserved an extra man advantage and a couple more goals than we got against the best team going. In that way the generally bad reception of defeat could be seen a badge of honour for us if you like. As is our ability, (without denigrating our own boys in any way), having said all that, admittedly to acknowledge the opposition''s superiority on Saturday. However, mainly I had eyes only for the yella & green and there were some magic moments from our chaps, particularly Hucks, Saffri and Francis. And all that without Bentley!

You jolly well earned ''em, Cambs! Nice one, a post named after me. Enjoy the game tomorrow, out in the Fens there (unless, of course, you''re luckier than me & will be at the match). Let''s woop some Highbury ars*

Maybe it''s the small size, ruddy colouring & the fact he''s a winger that gets him confused with robins

OK that''s it, Cambs Canary (assuming they''re telling the truth!) has done it and claims the much-vaunted star prize - well done my son. Not one, not two, but three e-cards in your honour (I hope the links work!). Boy, I''m jealous! http://uk.view.greetings.yahoo.com/greet/view?7PJW2V93WZ8ZC http://www.edp24.co.uk/cards/pick.asp?cn=5BTNSERLWK3DKS http://uk.view.greetings.yahoo.com/greet/view?79ZTHGSI7RJTN

Gazza, events may conspire to bring the ''orgy'' to you rather than vice versa, and sooner than you perhaps thought... (cue Dr Evil laughter for 10 mins)

Dirty man, I go by results not effort. Your original poster ID has a pleasingly filthy, squalid ring to it anyway, which is thus carried over to help knock your ''team'' name up into the Europe-qualifying zone. And well, given that I''ve got both scores wrong too so far I can only agree with your final point. Give me your top 5 names, people, or the stupendously magnificent prize is (deservedly) Surreal Madrid''s for the taking. (By the way, I''m sort of hoping one of our webtastic Dungeon Masters will deign to forward the prize telegram to the ''lucky'' winner? Otherwise I''ll just post a link to it here if that''s all right.) On the Ball, City

Gad I hate these glory hunters. Where were you when Canary Boy was in non-league prediction, eh?? Supporting City Angel, I bet, with posters of her all over your wall and constantly wearing her replica kit (& if we follow that logic, presumably getting her kit off every night. Ahem). Well done C. Boy ;-p With your 100% result prediction & my 100% scorer guessing (let''s overlook that second goalscorer v. Palace! As someone else said, City got the score wrong, not me) we''d make a crack partnership (taking Moss Side by storm...)!

Good for you for having a go, Gazza. Don''t worry: with me on there, given my poor knowledge of football you are guaranteed not to finish bottom. I''m doing it just for fun too (but doing okay so far). ;-)

Ditto Norwich, Spawn, but there are still 36 games to be played, and also neither you nor City are currently in the relegation zone! Celebrate. By the way, I''m not going to hold you in any way guilty for Saturday''s result on the basis of your freely chosen Pred. league team name being akin to that of our vanquishers - that road would be childish and unfair, and could lead to irrational mob violence.

Nice work, Morph. Good alternative sources. (That''s a seminal piece of music by Herr Strauss, nicht wahr?) I''m afraid us Philosophy/German graduates'' minds work in rather restricted ways (restricted to logically sound insanity, that is). Look forward to some more nominations.

Please submit your own votes to this address and the winner will get... an electronic congratulations card from yours truly! My choices are as follows. Commended: 8. We are good we will win! (for persistent optimism. But not different enough to poster''s name i.e. identical) 7. Norfolk ''n'' good (for classic status though not exactly original any more) 6. Wot yu doin dere mommy!!!! (for bizarreness, though points taken off for each exclamation mark) =5. Spawnchester Utd, Lyle''s Dirtiest, R''s Bandits (jointly for incorporation of poster''s name or elements thereof) Highly Commended: 4. Borussia Mortgagecashback (for word length and originality) 3. Also Sprach Zarathustra (for inappropriate philosophy reference plus gratuitous use of German) Special Mention: 2. Yellowstone Park Rangers (for originality, detail & Norwich reference; unfortunately ''stone'' part doesn''t quite scan) And the Winner is...: 1. Surreal Madrid (scores highly in all categories: punning, verisimilitude, footballing reference, surreality reference)
