Can we Marc Bolton down for Solid Gold Eastleigh Action?

[Lost Leopard Spot]

That's what happens when the BBC is told to chase audience figures. That and creating sex scenes in War & Peace.

Bristol City v WBA should be a good game, given the bad blood between Pulis and Cotterill. And Exeter going to Anfield is an interesting story, more so IMO than Eastleigh coming to a quarter-full Macron, home to one of the worst teams in the Football League.

I saw that. Some Russian general having a shag with the countess in amongst the custard bowls on the table. Disgusted.

I went back and re-read it (well not exactly re read it, but you know what I mean) and NO SEX SCENE. Tolstoy you bastard.

They've also made literally explicit the brother/sister affair which was only implied in Tolstoy's 1,300 pages. Maybe he didn't get round to mentioning it. Or maybe the serialisation follows a formula. Hope it gets the audience it needs, considering costume drama is easily the most expensive thing (per minute of output) that the BBC does - more so than, say, football.

You could reference Deano shagging page 3 girls in the boardroom. Seamless.

^ Totally seamless.

[LeverEnd]

Talking of seamlessness, is it protocol to keep the same thread going for a replay or start a new one? Also do we keep the same ref? I'm sure that used to happen.

I don't know. Ask Jeeves?

[Prufrock]

I f*cking hope not, he was wank. From waving advantage to their being a fan on trying to score, to giving the worst back pass decision I've ever seen.

It might not be quite as tasty an affair now, it's been reported that they've potted Cotterrill.

Anyone going to the replay? Tickets are a tenner and I'm still not sure if I can be arsed.

I'm up for it if you are. I'll send Willster a message to see if he is too.

I'm planning on going (alone). Hopefully there'll be cash turnstiles in some stands so there's no 25 minute snake crawling out of 'Bolton Central'. Can't see more than 5,000 showing up.

We're truly fcuked. Clattenburg is the ref

Normally, that would be bad news. Right now it's no worse that the rest...

He'll likely wield the cards and end up with more players banned. Obviously there are some I'm not bothered about, but it doesn't work that way. It'll be one of the better ones!

Just been on the offish and wait for it ......... tickets are still available. Phew! I was worried that we may have sold out.

No mention of cash turnstiles, which would be bloody typical of us!

I know he did us no favours in the Prem, ut we had him for a home games quite recently (last 2 seasons) and I thought he was miles better than the Championship standard we'd been used to.
