THE LAST MATCH
Well we all thought we would get hammered but in the end we put together one of our most spirited performances of the season to gain a draw at arguably the best team in the division!! SG got his tactics right, putting 5 in midfield, maybe, just maybe there is something other than 442 in him after all!!
Lee got another goal, we definitely need to improve our scoring record from midfield and defence so that was good to see. It was also good to see Buxton swing in a great cross for the Lee goal, something we have sorely missed while he has been out. Has Buxton played well enough to get a new contract, probably not for me but you never know!!
THE MATCH - SAT 25TH APRIL 2015 12.30PM UK TIME
Ok, so at the start of the season this is probably the fixture that we most look for to see when it is. Was surprised to see it as the last home game of the season when they came out. Is this a rivalry or even a derby match? Whatever you think, this is always a game we want to win, probably because a lot of their fans are scum, probably because they travel in good numbers to S6 and almost certainly because of the Kirkland incident a couple of years ago. Of course any L**ds fan will tell you their one and only rival in Man Utd, a team they haven't played in the League for 11 years and where the rivalry is completely one sided!!!! Deluded as well as scum!!!
In our last 10 home games against them we have scored 6 twice so it would be nice to add another to that list!! Our overall record against them is W30 D24 L35, so fairly tight but in their favor. Certainly they are there for the taking having lost 5 on the trot and the whole club seems to be lurching from issue to issue - fun for all of us to watch!!! Remains to be seen how many players decide they are injured this week!!!
CLASSIC MATCH
Only really one to show here, definitely a classic but not in the sense of it being old as it was only last season but it was such a satisfying win after the problems the season before!!!
POTENTIAL LIVE STREAMING SITES
Each game I will post the links to the websites anyone mentions on the thread. That way its easier to find the potential threads rather than scrolling through all the posts on the thread to find the ones where a link is posted. Lets see how ths works.
Cricfree Football - stole this one from Larry on the Rangers board.
http://pilkalive.weebly.com - this one was mentioned on the WBA forum.

OTHER GAMES OF MILD INTEREST

Reading v Brentford
Rotherham v Norwich
Wigan v Wolves
Bit of a top v bottom for this weeks games, will all the supposedly better teams win or will some bottle it???
THE TEAM
Does the team pretty much pick itself at the moment due to injuries? Will Westwood, Mattock, McGugan, Semedo make returns?? If all goes to plan I would like to see:
Westwood
Buxton Lees Zayette Mattock
Isgrove Melo McGugan Maguire
Bus Lavery
THE BIG MANS LEAGUE
Owlkev
Southey
Wereham
Stateside
Imre
Thurnscoe
Offshore
St Charles

Attendance as per usual for this one. I am led to believe that they will sell around 4,000 tickets for this one and it is the last home game of the season, so bear that in mind when predicting!! Please also predict the time of the first booking for either team, closest wins and this time no copying!! Obviously add your result predictions as usual, copying is allowed here.

Well Maddix said it wasn't easy!! for getting 4 results right and for getting all 5 correct, so if Owlkev is to be caught in the final 7 games someone is going to have to get all 5 right at some point!! So four up for grabs, a number of you can still win the BML this season and overhaul long time leader Owlkev!!
THE MUPPET LEAGUE
I am letting SG out on parole for this one on the orders of DC so that he can prove himself or hang himself!!!
Time for DJ to be brought back in here for this game, its not as if he has anything else to do anyway!!
All others are out on bail!!
THE FISH PIC
It would appear our new owner is not only a rich guy but treats his employees well!! Here is a photo of hard working fisherwomen taking a well earned break!!
KATE BECKINSALE TRIBUTE PIC
The nice little video version is back, so hopefully she can writhe in ecstasy watching us win this one!!
This thread awaits the Meggo of Statesides choice
