Is that the best timed and set up intro to a show ever? On a par with this- A similar line I used last week is the Looe (Cornwall) to Liskeard, known as the Looe Valley Line it has some stunning views and was due for the Beeching chop in the 60's...

Best option I heard on the radio was to sack him after the Albion defeat and get in Sir Alex just for the cup final.

BBC reporter turned up for the game Monday, parked his car and walked into the ground. Wondered where everyone was. True story as told by himself on 5Live.

Appeal failed, as you were. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cd13r56z21xo

A mention at 13:39 in front of an empty Amex. NO. MELLOR DESERVED BETTER THAN THAT.

What's Richard going to bring to the club? Is he going to organise the games on the coach or has 'Buzz' been sacked and he's now doing the boot room quiz?

Facts. Palace are 4 points and 7 goals worse than us with three games to play. Man Utd H, Wolves A & Villa H. If we can pick up a point today they have to win at least 2 more games subject to us not losing by 7 in our last games!

The best election broadcast was when Sky News had a 'behind the scenes' channel that showed everything going on in the control room talking to their reporters around the country.

RIP Spider Minutes applause most definitely deserved Sunday.

Did I miss something? I thought there was snooker Sunday evening but it seems those games are now on Monday. Forgot to watch last night after returning from B'muff so was searching for the results.
