I admire the ambition - attempting a hijack on a near 200-page thread.

Yup. Directed by William 'The French Connection & Exocist' Friedkin no less.

Is it better than the original? (I guess not)

You started it with the Reference mate

Anyhow back to Football, Hull City have just about sorted themselves in terms of staying in the Championship for next season. A clean sheet (admittedly against useless Crewe) on Saturday which has been a rare thing this season.

Looks like Forest are stuck in div 1 now. 10 points off the playoffs, 10 points off relegation.

Yes, good for Hull - be nice for them to have another season at least up there, although I'd sooner see them relegated so I've got a Forest match I can wak to next season. Still, so long as this means they decide to keep Alan 'fat useless cunt' Rogers I'm not complaining.

But is the remake worth checking out, or not?

umm, and uh...will Barcelona win the division AND the Champions League?

So Benitez finally told the squad what a set of goalposts looks like, then?

Bloody hell.

With Everton getting 7 in their last 2 games, this weekend's derby could be a good match, with Everton running out winners hopefully

And the Hearts merry-go-round continues:

Quite how they consider being six points clear in second place (there are only two Champions League slots in the SPL) afer drawing with Rangers at the weekend a terrible situation to be in is mind-boggling. If you'd offered such a situation to a Hearts fan at the start of the season they'd have taken your hand off for it.
