    Really obscure request ... find me this book!

    Okay, I have only the vaguest, crappiest memory of the book, but for whatever reason I'm trying to find anything to do with a Treasure hunt/puzzle-type book from the early 90's, which I assume was aimed at older children. It was similar to Kit Williams' Masquerade...

    Blayney 8 - Some vital saves. Mayo 7 - A good, solid return to the team. Butters 7.5 - Largely untroubled by an uninspired Hull side, comfortable in the air. El Abd 7.5 - Strong, powerful, improving every game. Reid 7 - Much improved in his (more) natural position. Frutos 6.5 - In and out...

    Stereophonics ticket available

    Incredibly late notice, I know, but as I'm not able to now go, I have a spare ticket to the Stereophonics at the Brighton Centre tonight ... if anyone wants it, PM me & I'll point you in its direction. Cost £27 - not likely to get that, but any contribution would be handy. Ta.

    I thought most of the players were actually fairly reasonable yesterday, albeit burdened with a rather odd system. Blayney 6 - A bit slow off his line on occasions, could have done better with the fifth. Reid 4 - A nightmare all round. Butters 8 - Strong in the air, held a patchy back line...

    Henderson 7 Reid 6 Butters 7 McShane 7 Hart 6 Frutos 6 Oatway 5 Hammond 6 Carole 6 Robinson 5 Knight 7 Subs: Kazim-Richards 7, Jarrett 6. Hard to get too excited about that performance, rather half-hearted, and some dreadful tackling. Ho-hum, still a point.

    Mail - Ardiles to replace McGhee ...

    I'm prepared for a "fixtures" if this is elsewhere, but buried in the Mail football supplement is this bizarre story ... Ossie Ardiles, the Argentina World Cup winner who became a Tottenham folk hero, is poised to return to Britain this week as manager of Championship strugglers Brighton...

    Shaaban 7 facing a never-ending tide in the first half, but made some decent saves Harding 7 caught out in the first half a few times, but improved Butters 6 stuggled against the pace of the Wigan strikers, gave away a lot of free kicks Hinsh 6 put under immense pressure, did his best but also...

    Robinson 6 - nothing to do. Cole 6 - got forward well, but sloppy and careless. Brown 5 - looked shaky & hesitant. Carragher 6 - sound enough. Neville 7 - supported well, occasional threat up front. Lampard 5 - game passed him by, very quiet. Gerrard 7 - tried, did okay, but not as influential...

    Yelldell 5 - Half the player of last week; nervous and error-prone, gave away the second goal and sliced his kicks. Mayo 3 - Appalling performance, gave away first goal, played a part in the third and passing was consistently woeful. Butters 6 - Sound, but over-ran. Virgo 7 - The pick of the...

    I sincerely hope SCR are wrong about the team ...

    They are suggesting it is 442 with Virgo going back up-front - WTF! He's just played his best game of the season (unsuprisingly in his position), Knight was exceptional again and the formation looked good - why change it? McGhee seems to be unable to resist the urge to tinker with the team...
