I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt after the whole Murphy thing, but you're an idiot.

What are you talking about? It's not rocket science, but it's also not Football Manager. You know we're a third division side with next to no money, right? Loans are a lifeblood for this level, and 'rejects' is a moronic label that you could apply to any player who's left a club. Players...

I regard a captaincy as a meaningless platitude in the vast majority of cases, but you do get the odd case where it seems to gee up a player with the sense of responsibility. Baker's definitely one of those.

Which has-beens and dropouts is he relying on at the moment? Moussa's hardly a reject.

You haven't lived. One time I nailed a 7-10 split, and long story short; I'm not allowed in any Megabowl ever again.

Adrenaline takes over, I can't blame someone in the heat of the moment for going a bit mad. It shouldn't be a yellow card unless they're timewasting.

Had a look on a few of their forums, they're not too enamoured with him by the looks of things.

I'd have preferred home second, because at least then you know. This could be a case of job well half-done but it's still an anti-climax.

Left Blackpool away early a few years ago. Kyle off for elbows, freezing cold out in the open on the bleachers, they go 3-0 up as we bend over. Fuck that for a game of soldiers.

I know the Ricoh can be quiet, but it's not filled with the undead.

I think Clarke just needs a few games to get going. He seemed to be strong and his positioning was there, just a little less sharp than you'd hope.

When we equalised, I couldn't believe that we were still sending people forward for Adams' big punt from halfway, I was expecting either we'd count our lucky stars and go for penalties, or be kicked in the teeth as Preston countered. Worked out nice.

I assume the injury helped us as he looked really unsteady, especially when not dealing with Baker's shot at the death.

I know they were saying that Westley's teams do this kind of thing and they probably did encourage him to lie down, but their keeper was definitely hurt in some way as he pulled up when taking a goal kick a minute or two before.

We had one guy screaming at Murphy to be sent 'back to Scunthorpe' due to conceding two goals that were clearly the result of deflections. Also, Leon Best wasn't a lazy waster. It's that kind of thing that sees players with ability hounded over limited huff and puff merchants.

Do we know which leg is at the Ricoh or is that decided later?

When Elliott Ward was our penalty taker I used to put a few quid on him for first scorer which paid off a few times, bookies never seemed to cotton on that he was our nominated taker. What a time to be alive.

I remember the talk at the time that Ranson wanted Robins in over whoever was in charge at the time. I was completely against it, who's Robins? Just one of Ray's old pals I bet, not a football manager. I think I dismissed Messi and a Ariel Ortega tribute act at one point too. This is the only...

They did show the entire game live on one of their channels, in fairness.

I'd try that again.
