There is no such rule in the Carling Cup, as the Prem teams would complain and maybe even not enter it.

the fine increases concordently with how many players below the limit you use.

By the rules of the competition, we must play 6 of these players: Crossley Eardley Hazell Gregan Lomax Liddell Whitaker Allott Taylor Hughes Alessandra

Hehe, they're playing each other 3 times this season then!

I think the Carling Cup numbers are done alphabetically, so we wouldn't have got Fulham. The FA Cup, on the other hand, uses the order you were drawn in the previous round to decide your number, so if we lose to someone who then get Man U away in the FA Cup, THEN we can be annoyed.

It's usually cheaper than that

I think there's a case to argue for a few different players to play. O'Grady and Hughes would have the presence to give Leeds' big centre halfs a battle, helped by Liddell's balls onto their heads, but then again, you may say why should we try and challenge them where they may be at their strongest? Maybe it would be better to focus on where they're more susceptible, and get at them with Smalley's pace and Lewis' trickery.

My dad wasn't happy, as he was flattened by the guy to his right who was rushing to taunt the Millwall fans, and he doesn't like standing up too much. So we moved over to L, weren't distracted from the game by everyone round us, and after being fairly unhappy about the goings-on earlier on, he was enjoying the atmosphere created to our left, laughing at the "Sit Dahn Shat Ap!", while still being able to focus on the game, and we had a great view, without having to stand up! :p So while I think people need to help stop stuff being thrown between the 2 sets of fans, as well as calm down about the issue, it really is no bother at all to get up and move to the other side if you don't like it. I suggest that stewards should be told to direct people over to the far right if they complain, and say they can get their season ticket swapped to a new position at the ticket office. Also, I don't like people stereotyping the older fans as moaners who have less of a right to speak their mind as anyone else, be more understanding if you would please. =)

They're both far too experienced to do anything so stupid. But, hypothetically, yes.

I thought it would be useful to see how people feel.

Yeah, we paid £108,000 in the period 1 July 2007 to 31 December 2007, we discussed that report at the time. That means £20,000 1 Jan - 30 June this year.

Funnily enough, I'm not going to Leeds (united) because I need the money for going to Leeds (festival)!

This is a week on Tuesday.

I thought that, but there were absolutely no complaints, so he either got him (Sky Sports news footage makes it look like he did actually), or Rochdale are taking to the Respect campaign remarkably well!

"I take my hat off to Oldhams support last night, they more or less filled that stand and didnt stop singing, backed there team from start to finish, very impressive." They're also extremely complimentary about our 1st half performance. Cheer up everyone, it's never that bad!

Unfortunatley this is what you get with Craig Davies. He was banned from international football for 18 months for spitting at a ref iirc. Wants his head sorting out if possible. Don't crucify the lad over it though please, as silly as the incident was, he's still young and will learn from this.

Another mistake! Tonight's match will NOT go straight to penalties if the scores are tied after 90 minutes, there will be extra time first.

EXPLAINED HERE Incidentally, reserves are playing City's in 2 or 3 weeks.

I don't think it would work for running out, but I think it suits the new walking-out. =) Maybe we can clap along and add some lyrics?

Seriously though, he looks to have improved the 2 parts of his game which were most infuriating. He switched between cutting in and going to his left often, and also seems to have learned how to cross (with both feet!). He caused Millwall all sorts of problems today, and that was even with double-marking him. No doubt he was being watched today, I think we can brace ourselves for some tempting bids.

Also shouted at the ref when Maher got hit on the chest, waving an imaginary card! Stumbled accross his Facebook account, he's definitely a bit of a lad! =D

Why We Love Football!

Is this the 1st troll we've had on OWTB? Remember what it was like on jklatics?! Lets use this moment to congratulate the OWTB team! Also, lets be nice to this City lad and show him some great moments in their history. =) Last meeting between the 2 clubs. Great Goals in City vs Latics games.

You have to play at least 6 of the 11 players with most appearances.

A minute's silence is to be held before every game in what used to be the Conference this weekend, and it started with an impeccably observed period before Barrow vs Oxford live on Setanta. A nice touch I thought. Might be worth going round some forums tonight/tomorrow morning to let fans know the kind of guy they'll be paying tribute to. LINK
