    Only saw the highlights on M.O.T.D., but thought Town played really well, especially in the 1st half.

    And don't worry, we've all been walloped by Arsenal, I remember a game back at Maine Road when they were 4 up against us after 20 mins 😱

    Off topic, a bit, but Arsenal's new ground is by far the best I've been to, anywhere. Certainly recommend a visit to footy fans whoever you support.

    I'd love to go there. I was sort of following the game onTown's twitter feed, they went in at half time 1-0 down and I didn't check for a while so I looked thinking they might have got an eqaliser to find they'd shipped three goals in four minutes, game over.

    Now on to Everton on Saturday, will we see a new manager bounce. Rooney warmed up with a hat trick, that's not looking good for us but UTT

    Good luck to your team if playing in the cup over the weekend. Unless you are a MK Dons supporter.⚽⚽.

    WOW,  glad  I  was  not  at  Blackburn  for  the  FA Cup  game  against  Blessed  Crewe  Alexandra  today  !!

    Sounds  like  it  was  much  too  harda  game  for  a  gentle  soul  like  yours  truly  surprised

    Never  the  less  T'Alex  are  still  in  the  cup,  even  tho'  the  replay  will  start  11  against  11

    What you need for the replay is to get the ref to send two Blackburn players off a bit earlier then you'll have a better chance. The Alex did look dead and buried at 3-0 down so well done to them for coming back to draw👏👏👏👏

    Keep the faith⚽️⚽️⚽️

    Don't  need  to  assail  them  at  all  Trellis  mate  laughing

    I'll  just  wear  the  "Motorhomers  essential  gear  for  visiting  the  Amenity  Blocks" 

    Now  that  really  should  reduce  them  to  'giggling  jelly  state' !!

    Hibs V Celtic today.  Celtic will thrash their Edinburgh rivals and wipe the smile off Lennon's face.---  Possible score Celtic 5 -- Hibs 1

    Celtic must have felt sorry for poor old Lennon continually leading Hibs to glorious defeat  and took the foot off the gas to make the poor guy feel better. Otherwise Celtic would have blitzed them.5/1. 

    Celtic still maintain their record of over 63 consecutive games in the Scottish league without defeat. Few teams can get near total. So a bit of tactical play just to maintain that record without humiliating Hibs is quite acceptable.

    What a win for City 😊😊😊😊😊

    We have more than the vital 40 points now, so should be safe from relegation (been there far to often).

    Away at Swansea on Wednesday, then home to Spurs next weekend. 

    No easy games!

    Obviously  you  ain't  in  the  same  division  as  poor  old  Crewe  then  Pliers  --  most  teams  think  thats  a  very  easy  game  !!

      Ask  them  there  Lanky's  on  Tuesday  evening  ( Weather  permitting  !!  I'm  told  the  'Teeny  Ones'  have  built  snowmen  on  trolleys  to block  off  one  of  the  goals  --  bet  they  start  at  the  wrong  end  yell )

    Another great win for the Terriers. They'd not scored a goal away from home since the first match of the season and they go and score 4! Ok one was clearly offside and one was a softish penalty but we've had our share of bad decisions go against us this season so we'll take a bit going our way.

    It's a roller coaster of a season so far a few highs (beating Man U) and some very deep lows. Still we are fans so we follow our team shuz 'ow.

    We're having a rest from the greedy league tomorrow. It's the magic of the cup, so it's off to Bolton to see the wanderers. A banana skin looms.

    I'm guessing a certain Nottingham  Forest supporter will have a broad grin on her face right now!

    Well done Forest and cue Arsene's usual whinge about refereeing standards! wink

    M,  he  was  not  close  enuff  to  see  any  hypothetical  refereeing  slips,  too  many  fans  waving  meat  pies  in  front  of  him !!

    Certainly  hope  Pauline  was  there  to  enjoy  the  fun,  it  would  have  made  her  immediate  area  about  10  or  so  degrees  warmer  !!

    We've  not heard from Pauline for a while and when we did she seemed to be a bit down in the dumps with Forest 's form or lack of it. Sunday's result should have put a smile on her face, it's always nice to beat the holders. Town did it a long time ago when Wolves were the holders and we were in the old second division. Also we were just Town then not Terriers.

    UTT Rog.

    PS it was a big mistake taking the GS to Bolton on Saturday. He's now got a taste for the away match experience, 90 plus minutes standing and singing.

    Glad you both enjoyed the game, 4th round draw tonight, my fingers are crossed for another home tie, but I expect your grandson's hoping for another exciting away trip. I still remember my 1st night match, as a young kid, many years ago. Pure magic. 😊

    Stop  those  reminiscences  please  Pliers,  you've  reminded  me  of  midweek  matches  with  Wednesday  2:30  kick  off  --  before  flood  lights  --  needed  torches  to  find  our  cup of Bovril  !

    It must be a Grandad/Grandson thing in our family. I remember going to see our village team every other Saturday with my Grandad, standing in the cold and wet under a leaky  lean- to tin roof we grandly called the stand. My first trip to the old Leeds Road was with him to see them in the final of the Barlow Cup against Marsden. We went on a double decker special bus and if I remember Bill Shankley presented the cup, sadly to Marsden.

    Managed to beat Bristol City, so we're off to Wemberleeee for the league cup final (or whatever they call it now). Really enjoyed our trip to Bristol, a very good atmosphere and the game could have gone either way until the last minute.

    Not sure if we should take the 'van to Denham for the Wembley game, the weather can be dodgy for towing in February..... might book travelodge or similar for a couple of nights, as we did for Bristol.

    Need tickets first though 🤔
