Hi Edgar, Please tell us who "we" are--I rarely watch the sports news or buy a paper so I do not really know. Could it be Cardiff??

Hi Edgar

I take it you mean your home town team. Bear in mind you're only there due to alphabetical order, joint top with Brum aren't you. Be nice to se a team from Wales in the Prem, one from Scotland would do too

Yes Marian, Edgar does mean Cardiff, as mentioned on another page on the forum recently.

thomas 1. Cardiff are top because of a superior goal difference of 7 compared to Birminghams 4. Also Cardiff would still be top because they have scored more goals.

2. If it was on alphabetical order as you suggest, doesn't Birmingham come before Cardiff, B before C

Thank you for explaining the finer art of the league tables to Thomas. Saves me having to do it. I always find it amazing at the attitude of some sports commentators at their anti-welsh bias. For instance, last week on Sky Sports, they kept mentionng the "if Birmingham win today they go back to the top" I bet they never mentioned the same yesterday about Cardiff. They may have done, I don't care, I was at the game getting myself another sore throat, but believe me, Cardiff at the top is no fluk.. Apart from a lapse when Luton scored, Cardiff "murdered" them!

Don't knock it Marian. Reading were the best side I saw last seaon. Let's hope we join them next season.

Hi Robert and everyone--well I had a feeling that Edgars team would be Cardiff---but when I come to football talk. I only read with half an ear---if you get what I mean

You see Edgar, we forecast correctly about the Hatters, and so pleased that Cardiff got the result.

Good luck to Reading too Marian.

Thanks for that Lena and Hatty. And they were on "The Championship" thiis morning and were the featured match!

Edgar · Post by **Edgar** » Sun Sep 17, 2006 4:29 pm

Hatty!!!!!! This keebord can't spell. Sorry Harry!!!! That's you talking about "The Hatters"!!! (And me forgetting to preview my post

)

ROBERT M. · Post by **ROBERT M.** » Sun Sep 17, 2006 4:31 pm

You'll just look like a Hatty with your wig on Harry

Lena & Harry Smith · Post by **Lena & Harry Smith** » Sun Sep 17, 2006 7:08 pm

Edgar, these keyBORDS do play up and Robert the only Hatty we can remember is Hattie Jaques, and she didn't wear a wig. Can't see any resemblence yet, maybe because i'm laying off the takeaways while i'm out.

I was a regular at Luton matches in the Seventies when David Pleat was manager, accompanying the Steins father while watching Brian Stein and Ricky Hill who I coached
I missed The Championship this morning Edgar,

due to a slow crawl home on the M4 from the West Country and then watching the taped Maria show till 2.45.
Got to catch up with the newspapers.

I was jokin there peps (not too well tho), im well aware of how goal difference works. I said before the season began and I still think it, the 3 teams to be promoted will be Brum, Soton and Coventry. But you never know........
