West Ham Wigan could play at Sincil Bank. That should avoid any crowd trouble. Not sure about Newcastle and United though. But seriously... Aston Villa v Blackpool Blackburn v Arsenal Bolton v Fulham Chelsea v West Brom Liverpool v Wolves Manchester City v Sunderland Newcastle United v Everton Stoke City v Manchester United Tottenham v Wigan West Ham v Birmingham -- Goalie of the Century

It's as if it actually reads 'the BBC no longer has the kind of prestige or finances to influence the scheduling of major tournaments'. > Without even looking I pronounce Ben the winner. That's just crazy-talk. Ben can't win the ODFC. It might not have any rules but if it did, that would definitely be one of them. > (Did he actually post an entry?) He did. And it was quite possibly the worst ODFC entry I've ever seen. 'Ben the winner' indeed. Next you'll be saying 'Ben in a loving relationship'. -- Joe "I am the fat puddin', but a single puddingness" - Vicky Conlan |
