Look, man! Fabianski saved a penalty shot! First in his career? :P

Bundesliga sewn up, then?

Oh, I don't think it'll be as convincing as Liverpool's title. ;)

I know, it`s only going to be for a couple of hours, but please indulge me -

 

Tottenham are top of the league, and it`s the first time ever that we have been top at this late stage of the season (8 games! He he he).

We are soulmates, Simon. We both won a championship in 1961.

Meanwhile, in the Scottish Premier League the competitive light burns as brightly as ever.

I'm not surprised by the score. Rangers were this close from winning in Portugal on Thursday.

Rakow 0 Wisla 0 A draw with league leaders, away from home...I'll take it.

In 1995, I famously proclaimed to friends that we were so far behind the big clubs that we would not win the league in my lifetime. So...horror of horrors, do I actually want to be wrong? I don't think I need to worry too much about pride-swallowing just yet, but I have to admit that it is more likely with Jose than it was with Christian Gross.

Indeed! Jose could just be the man to pull it off.

I wonder who has the deadliest duo? Or which player has the best goals and assists record? I kid, I kid, we all know :laughing yellow guy:

Northampton knocked out of the FA cup by Oxford. The penalty call, which led to the game winner, was Hors-feathers. :finbar:

Alas, I missed the game (I`ve been drawing all day today). No good comes from a game where Northampton are the "overdog".

No, but in a twist of fate, the house I want to buy in Scotland is placed equidistant between Perth (St Johnstone) and Dundee. So it could become the Simon derby, if I can sell my house first :sundog:

I should've wrote "hard R." Although, when I watched the tv show "Bread", the characters sounded almost Scottish, even though the series was set in Liverpool.

That was a sorry old show; I like Scottish or Irish accents, but most English accents hurt my ears and Liverpudlian is particularly nasty. I was born in the fancy-schmancy part of England (a few miles from Windsor Castle) so speak what is called received pronunciation/ or BBC English. I have a Scottish sounding surname though, so I reckon I can move up there and claim strong roots to the area without locals running me out of town on a rail.

And of course the French changed the pronunciation of English words after 1066, right?

Now that we're back in Poland, Lewandowski's wife revealed the secret to Robert's success. Lactose-free and Gluten-free diets. I'm surprised he's still alive. :P
