Well I am not English so the local rivalry doesn't mean that much to me. Off to Sheffield for last match of the season. 3 pts = promotion.

Yeah, fair play. Liverpool and United supporters from these parts calling each other Mancs and Scousers, etc. in cringing to say the least. They really don't see it though. And, like your situation, Liverpool fans here hating Everton and United fans hating City (until recently) is pretty sad also.

That will be a great occasion on Saturday, having been in thrid spot for so long. Stevenage did ye a huge favour at the weekend. Can't see Wednesday slipping up now.

I would travel a lot with a crew to games and we regard ourselves as supporters. The people you mention that regard themselves as Scousers and Mancs are they people you see watching games in the pubs or in the workplace? Strange carry on for people to regard themselves from cities that they ain't from.

Well spotted. They were 5 points behind at one stage with Sheff U having a game in hand as well. And they say comebacks only happen in Division One (Premiership). Happens in Division 3 (One) as well. Much down to Dave Jones for the unbeaten run.

Every possibility they could slip up against Wycombe (Gary Waddock the manager) because it's football but when they equalised in the last minute against Walsall, I said to myself that might be a vital point.

Going with the missus and a young cousin (a Man U fan) and meeting up with an English Newcastle fan who wants to see how Niall Ranger is getting along (on loan from them). Strange, the Owls only major honour in my lifetime was the 1991 League Cup yet you have to go back to 1969 for Newcastle for the Inter City Fairs Cup. Whatever about Wednesday, the latter is a club which hugely underperforms considering the support.

Also on Soccer Saturday yesterday morning Stelling mentioned Hartelpool's smurfs

My favorite is how they dressed up as Smurfs, Oompa Loompas...and Mexicans ;)

I think Di Canio should stick to football management. Next Wednesday manager perhaps?

Enjoyable day. Surprisingly without huge tension as Gary Waddock's Wycombe were poor enough. Keith Tracey played well (on loan from Burnley) but suffers from the Andy Reid over eating syndrome (by his own admission). Possibily the highest crowd ever in Division One not involving a Sheffield derby although perhaps Leeds beat it during their stay there.

So far nothing to fear coming down from the Premiership in the form of Wolves and Blackburn (very poor last night). Think I would prefer Bolton rather than QPR who have money to also be relegated although I don't like Mark Hughes.

I was at the Crewe v Cheltenham playoff final at Wembley yesterday, one of the best games of football I've seen in a long time. And a superb goal from Nick Powell to start it rolling.
