Does anyone want to join a sort of CCN mini-league? I’m not always a huge fan of these things, but this looks excellent.
As far as I can tell it’s free. And, the good thing is that it’s a bit more complicated than the usual ones, so things like tackling, blocking shots, accurate crossing, etc, etc, all count towards scoring. It looks really good, and, if nothing else, it’ll give Colin an easy data source for his stats work!

Drop me an email at richallen7 at yahoo dot com if you’d like to play. I need the email addresses to send out invites.
Cheers!
I just got a survey from the club. Here’s an excerpt:
With a bit of luck everyone else will answer this way and this abomination of a trend can be terminated for ever. I don’t know why it started or what they thought we’d gain from it, but I really do hate it. Do we not cheer enough when we score? I think we do.
If they want to americanise the football experience I suggest experiments in lighting. You know we have those electronic ad boards now? Well why not, for night games, just before kickoff, switch off the floodlights and make the hoardings glow green for a bit?
No, I see that this would be rubbish too.
There was another question about clappers. I said they were good but I regret it now. I did think they helped against Birmingham, but in the early season matches against Bolton I think it might seem a bit weird, like kissing someone for giving you a polo mint or something. A bit over the top.
Anyway, no to goal music. That’s the message to take from all this.
