Country wide tenuous links. My Engineering Manager at the factory I ran in Blackpool married the sister of Mark Lawrenson's first wife. When she was Lawro's ex-wife, she became the partner of my dad's boss's son.

Anyone around in the early seventies will know that 'we hate Luton' was in vogue way before any involvement with Palace when they later inherited the 'hate' mantle. Wasn't it a Luton game where the 'bootboys' had to remove said boots and go in the North Stand in their socks?

We are at home on Oct 7th (well, on or around). Obviously club are treating it a walkover.

Do the fixtures tomorrow come 'travel-booking ready' for August? Or will they still all be 3pm Saturday and we have to wait longer for the TV companies to have their dibs, before we can make real plans?

My Arsenal ticket arrived this afternoon, posted on the 5th. Accompanied by another envelope with Newcastle in, posted on the 9th. Each was purchased in the first hour on the first day they were on sale. First in, last out, appears to be the case

I am old skool, so: I'd walk a MILLION miles For one of you goals My Ev-an.

Reading also employed that thug Kermor**nt that effectively ended Liam Rosenior's career.
