Bath City beat Clevedon Town and progress to the next round of the FA Cup. I had the pleasure of filming the match.
Leeds beat Hereford and move even closer to promotion to The Championship.
Newcastle lost to Blackburn and move even closer to relegation to The Championship.
I know it may be a little sick to laugh at the plight of The Toon Army, but as a Leeds fan, having to put up with taunts from every other supporter in the country, it amuses me.
Up until now, I thought Leeds United were the most farcical club in football history (and that includes the fictional club, Harchester United). Newcastle have now proved me wrong.
Bath City today start their FA Cup campaign and the long road to the final at Wembley.
Along the way they will come across the the giants of Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United City. They must, however, start the competition with a game against the European superpowers, Clevedon Town.
You never know, we may be seeing these scenes in May…
Apparently, the odds of winning the jackpot are 76,275,360/1, but seeing as we have 28 tickets, its cut down to 2,724,120/1 (unless my maths is very wrong!)
My own team also do a weekly syndicate for the National Lottery. The odds of winning that AND the Euros are 3,813,768,000,000/1 – a number so high, I don’t even know how to say it (although it probably involves trillions). Even so, I think we have every chance.
He received an email which read:
"Dear Friend,

I’m off to bed in a minute. I’m hoping I will have a better nights sleep than yesterday.
Last night, Dennis Wise (my hamster, not the manager/odd-job man at Newcastle United) decided he would redecorate his cage. This involved destroying his mini-house, tearing apart the newspaper on his floor and kicking food, sawdust and shit everywhere.
All this went on at 2am and greatly disturbed my sleep. It’s hard to see how such a small animal can make so much noise, but he most certainly did!
Right now, my feelings towards Dennis Wise (the hamster) are similar to those of the Newcastle United fans’ thoughts on Dennis’ namesake… I don’t like him very much.
