The All Not-So-New 2017/18 Weekly Punt Game

[Craig White]

i've told you to stop messing with the space/time continuum, duke, it's not fair on the rest of us! :)

the game in question will be played on thursday coming (29 feb) - this game has been postponed from this weekend till then because the same two teams will contest the english league cup final tomorrow, and you couldn't expect those poor underpaid, overworked footballers to play two games in two days!

[theDuke]

Ah well...just ignore me then..what do I know about football...ermm?!!! :)

[Craig White]

"what do I know about football...ermm?!!!"

boom :)

[theDuke]

I'm no fan of any of them!!!

Wrong shaped ball mate..remember....i'm Welsh.....ish! :)

I wonder how many matches will actually get to be played, with all this snow about?

Amusing to see Peterborough Players grabbing snow shovels to clear the pitch, with Steven Taylor's frantically leading the effort, just so they could finish their match against Walsall...and they still won! Bless him! ;-)

Really excited about tonight's match, Spurs v Juventus. Got a Golden Glory and Poacher's Choice earlier on, (smashed the Poacher's unfortunately when I dropped the carrier bag on the floor). Still, getting a Chinese takeaway, and a replacement bottle and come 7.45 I'm good to go. Come on you beautiful Spurs!!!

oh yeah! obviously running parallel to the mighty killie's meteoric rush up the premiership (currently getting nosebleeds in FIFTH place, and now looking odds on to be in top 6 at the split - all down to stevie clarke, and what he's getting out of a squad of players more used to battling relegation - kudos!). anyhoo, it's not a sprint but a marathon - it's just i'm marathoning your asses into the far distance just now! :)
