True, but nobody makes it look like they're trying to throw a game quite like Newcastle United!

Apparently the player who failed the drugs test is Mutu, of all people.

Perhaps he was cheering himself up to get away from the fact his career is in the gutter at Chelsea.

Edit - Upon seeing todays newspapers, I've just realised perhaps that wasn't the scoop I thought it was!

not so smug now are ya Mr Mourinho

Plus - hats off to the much maligned Igor Biscan

Corking goal - candidate for goal of the month IMO. Yer solo-efforts are OK but I rate the team-work oriented ones - great cut-back by Warnock and a I-do-this-every-day-in-training-finish from the Igor the Great

All this is unimportant compared to the fact that FOREST WON A GAME.

Yay!

Good goal too!

Unimportant.
Leyton Orient are top of League 2
First time we have been top of anything other than the yellow and red-card league for 12 years.

Coca Cola League 2 is the old Nationwide Division 3, which in old money is the old Division 4.
Confoosling stuff this isn't it!

A draw at Leicester last night keeps us ticking over. We should have beaten them though.

Football imo is wonderful because of the characters. One genius doing the rounds at the moment is QPR manager Ian Holloway.

Here are some words of wisdom from the great man.

All of a sudden promotion for this man looks a necessity to liven up the Premier league a bit. Moaninho is not proving to have the long-term manager entertainment value of Ranieri.

Along similar lines, I liked Kevin Keegan's quote from the weekend: approximately "Another clean sheet. We defended well today, which is most unlike one of my teams. I'll have to do something about that."

great, those ollyism's... i have a whole book of Cruyffisms his logic and speech are just as brilliant and difficult to follow as his playstyle

and we won against Maccabi Tell Aviv yesterday! Great atmosphere in the arena, they were a bit crao, but fun fellows for a beer afterwars..i swapped my scarf with them

forza ajax!

Much as Gordon might not want to hear this, Blackburn were absolutely shit today. Chelsea weren't even all that good, but Blackburn really were appalling. They need a massive arse-kicking if they're going to stay up this season.

Bill Nick dies and Tottenham lose.

Not a good day for Spurs fans

Good day for 'transitional' old us. We should have won it and we did - easily. Starting to look a bit more solid and team-like, too. Even Djimi Traore doesn't look too out of place.

Two nice goals, too. Screamer from Luis Garcia.

Baros *so* deserves a goal, though.

Leeds lose against Brighton and have two players sent off too. Awful.

And then my other team Hereford lost too. Fuck!
