He came from the other side of the family, but no he never showed any interest when I was young.

Thank God you had your Grandmother..its hard to get interested in sport without someone leading us to them. Is more interested in the arts?

I've just checked the data, and I wonder if this could be a "Year without a Winter"? We've had only four days where temperatures have been below 10 Celsius (50 Fahrenheit) so far, and today it is currently 54 degrees (measured at 9:50 am).

The average is only 7 Celsius (45 Fahrenheit), and we haven't had any days below 50 in December so far.

The mystery continues!! You are lucky though to have a talent many would love to have. You are unlucky in the sense that you are under pressure to do something with it.

Useless info 101

My Dad was an hardcore rugby league fan, he died the year before his favourite team Leigh got to the first and only Cup Final so far. My Stepdad who always reminds me played football and actually played against Gretna of the Scottish 1st Division before they were in the Scottish League's, never be able to keep him quiet if they get promoted and play Celtic in the SPL.

Now what chance do Gretna have of being promoted?

FWIW...Leighs biggest attended match ever was against Wigan.

Good chance top of the league by a handful of points as well, both when Leigh and Wigan were non league teams as well. Wigans highest home attendance to date is still when they were a non league team which was against Hereford in the FA Cup when over 27,000 watched the game, don't take the wiki page on as most football fans think that the game of football was created when the Premier league and sky sports came about.

ukhotstove · 12-05-2006, 02:22 PM

If you look at alot of non league teams a few will have Wigan as their highest home crowd, Wigan were like the Chelsea and Man Utd of non league football years ago.

bababui · 12-05-2006, 02:35 PM

Are you excited at all about tomorrows Man U v Benfica match? I am. It should be great watching as both teams will be desperatly needing a win.

Let the Man U whining begin on the alleged 'hand ball' incident...great match so far against Benfica

ukhotstove · 12-07-2006, 12:42 PM

Thankfully they overturned the Boeteng decision, imo Mark Halsey the ref should be demoted for a few games as it was one of the worst refereeing performances I've seen. How you can send a player off who firstly gets attacked from behind by Lennon then gets assaulted by Zokora and Chimbonda is beyond me, but yet Lennon wasn't even booked nor was Chimbonda when both should have been booked at least, Zokora did get sent off so the ref got one out of four right.
