PS - that hubby of yours needs hosing down and scrubbing with a yard brush according to his post up the page a bit. That or roll him around the yard in the snow in the morning.

Embarrassing stats for Reading v Wigan and this was before the game finished.

Apparently they've not won at home, except against us, since we beat them at Wemberlee - well give or take a few matches.

Not that we'd ever, no, nay, never, have embarrassing stats like this against us at home.

We're two places higher but still only 2 points above the trap door. Squeaky bum time.

subs- scottish defender who signed on a deadline day, was raved about by some town managers but never got a consistent shot in the team like stankovic, has since gone on to be a solid player elsewhere--Murray Mint Wallace
subs- another player who never quite fit in at the club due to his versatility, left the club and wound up having a few seasons in the premier league as well as an international career, is now playing north of the border--Scott Arfield
subs- probably most famous for a fa cup goal for town and also wrestling a goalkeeper into his own goal and it counting. looked promising on debut, a donkey pretty much every other time after--Alan Alan Lee

well done to those who got them
