Isn't it great to see the likes of Vokes, Boyd, Gray, Barton and Keane wering Claret & Blue? And ironic that Sam now plays for Stoke whilst Pieters (making an appearance soon), is now one of our back 4.

Well done Buxton and Bobinho, well deserved.
Ralph can we see the end of season Ancien League please. Just so we know where we stand if we manage a draw.

Indeed or as Clint Eastwood would say " You've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' "
Good luck in the next round to whoever is the flukiest in this one

A good turn out already which proves how popular STB is, even with no "real" football, folk are logging on just to play.
We even have a cheerleader in the form of Bosscat

Maybe it is because you are an easy target and keep reacting, why not just ignore.
