Thanks AJ, has taken me over 6 years to get there [:)]

Only Rusty with gloves on today.

[AJ 1,218]

Doesn''t look like live text is working on the bbc site today.Leeds are one up, Howson after 4 minutes. Interestingly, Beckford has started for them.

At Carra Rud, it sounds scrappy midfield battle at the moment.

Thought one of their''s had gloves on too!

OTBC! A shot from Lappin [:)]

[quote user="Big Bad John"]Lambert awarded ''Manager Of The Month'' for League One, Wes Hoolahan awarded ''Player Of The Month''.

.... Has the curse been put upon us?
[/quote] 

Hoolahan was third in the League One Player of the Month...won by Beckford and Ricky Lambert was second.Haven''t heard that our Lambert was the winner of Manager of the Month so don''t think we''ll be cursed somehow!!![:D][;)]

Holty - yesssssssssssssssssssssss [:D]

[AJ 1,218]

Nelson and Doc sound good at the back. Nelson has had good distribution, whilst Doc has just confidently won the ball back and taken into midfield to build an attack. Good stuff.Hoolahan twists and turns on the left, lovely cross into the middle and Grant Holt rises to nod easily past the keeper from 6 yards at the back stick.Simple goal, well created.

[AJ 1,218]

That''s why Exeter are near the bottom. Awful defending, Holt unmarked, brilliantly measured cross from the left by Hoolahan who did all the work for Holt. Neil Adam says "I could have scored from there!" which tells you everything.Hoolahan is a god.

Leeds goal came from Jonathan Howson who bangs one in from all of 22-and-a-half yards.Midfield battle has turned into a Hoolahan masterclass!

[AJ 1,218]

10 minutes gone, Norwich 1 up [;)]For those in doubt, Lambert celebrated that goal like crazy!

[AJ 1,218]

Holt gets a half-chance after a counter attack but slices his left footed shot a little bit wide.

Saha had the ball in the net at The Emerites, but it''s ruled out for offside.

[AJ 1,218]

Exeters first attack ends with... offside.

Nice to mention Norwich have had 3 consecutive clean sheets. Carrow Road is a fortress again.

[AJ 1,218]

To further my last post, Everton are indeed now one up away at Arsenal.Leon Osman with that one.

Scunthorpe winning at Derby. Puts the scum down a position.[:D]

[AJ 1,218]

Exeter break, Russel Martin caught out, luckily Darrel Russel blocks

Apparently pies of the month competition at a Scottish club. The Burns pie sounds good with whisky in it. Perhaps we ought to get Delia to do something like this for us...

Certainly be warming on a day like this

[AJ 1,218]

Norwich seem to have stopped playing productively. Lets not sit back guys! Forster claiming everything our way at the moment.

[Titch 0]

Afternoon everyone :)glad to see we are already one up!

[Dr. Ink 0]

Wycombe have the "better of play" at Leeds, according to Sporting Life, 5 shots to 2. Come on Wycombe! 

[AJ 1,218]

And a good goal too Fuzzy, but we''re sitting back now, we need to push forward!

[Trent Canary 0]

BBC live score is terrible. I really miss sky sports news [:(]

[Woman in the Stands (WITS) 0]

How much is the cold going to impact on play, especially at the later stages of the match?

[Gus 0]

LOL @ whoever said ''Scunners and winning at Derby, puts the scum down one''. Clutching at League 1 straws is of no use my friend. A win at Exeter is firmly expected, anything else is a slip up!

[AJ 1,218]

Russel Martin getting beaten again. I worry about this man, he isn''t as solid as Drury yet.

[AJ 1,218]

Hooley plays a lovely ball to Holt who waits too long to shoot, and lays it off to Lappin who can only lash a deflected shot straight at the keeper. Lambert duly has asks Holt why he didn''t shoot himself...

[Trent Canary 0]

Sammy Clingan with a goal for Coventry.Every league game in England has a goal so far [;)]

They may be lucky and miss the afternoon snow if you look at this

[AJ 1,218]

Arsenal have equalised thanks to Denilson and Sammy Clingan has put Coventry 2 up at home to Barnsley.

[Woman in the Stands (WITS) 0]

Lots of highlights for FLS later then. BBC may regret shortening it, not

[AJ 1,218]

Drury wins the ball back and crosses in to Chris Martin, it''s a little high but he gets something on it and it hits the defender and goes over the top. Goal kick given though, hmm...

[Excited Canary 19]

Lambert duly has asks Holt why he didn''t shoot himself...

A bit drastic commiting suicide...

Cold makes breathing harder and more painful. Also causes muscles to feel heavier during exercise when very cold. Just wondered what effect it would have on them, even though they''re fit professional players
