I'm with Whitters on this one: if the Super Saddlers get to Wembley again then I will be there again. It was a dream to see us at Wembley, and even though Smith picked players out of loyalty rather than form (Mantom, Bradshaw), and our big players (Sawyers, Bradshaw, Mantom, Cook) didn't perform, I still enjoyed the experience. And a win at Bramall Lane is not to be sniffed at. UTS.

... and so will I. I had a great weekend last time and would quite happily do it again (even if the football was a bit of a letdown :( )

A win is a win. Progress - WhitneyIn! :D

What inside information do you have that says it isn't going to sink further? :wink:

So you don't question that we will get to the final? :D

The pound will sink again when article 50 is triggered. I don't know whether that will be before or after the final.

Of course, it could also go down any time the government says anything about implementing Brexit.

Edit: Or if anyone says anything about Brexit. Francois Holland = $1.18 :shock: That is rock bottom (for now).

If Bakayoko's diving header had gone in (1.04min) instead of rebounding off the beaten keeper's legs it would have been a splendid goal. Very good movement from Baka, and he's certainly pushing for a starting place in our next game.

Have to say that looked like a very good performance and the strip was great too.
