She left me after finding out I'd been sex texting another girl. Turns out it was actually a bloke as well who was 50. He was shocked though when he found out I'm not Vernon Kay.
Anyway back onb topic. I reckon we need to get into their forwards quickly and starve them of Field position (basically stop them scoring early) for the first 20 mins and then we'll be able to build from there.

It is also better than the 1st, 2nd and 3rd etc rounds. But you ultimately win the same at the end - the centre of a doughnut.
In fact, IMO, if my team are not gonna win the cup I would rather go out early rather than end up playing a few extra games that ultimately prove to be fruitless.

I think it is basically a prediction of how climatic conditions will develop in a specific area. HTH.

Have to disagree. This season is about showing progress after the dross of last year. A close defeat in the CC semi final against one of the better teams, a 6th place finish and one play off victory would represent a decent year.

Surely a longer run in the cup presents you with more opportunity to watch your team?

It also presents the situation where players could be getting burn-out at the business end of the season where it matters. All I am saying is that if my team did not win the Cup, I would rather go out early than play a few more fixtures before going out empty handed.
[iObviously[/i I would rather we won the thing!

| Quote Phuzzy="Phuzzy"...so by that definition Tomkins is no good either. And I think the same goes for Burgess. Interesting idea you have there. And for the record O'Loughlin does have medals, or for that matter, International caps (surely the best marker of whether he's rated amongst the best this coubtry has to offer or not!)
And as for:
What a crock! And you are the one criticising someone else for not knowing the difference between fact and opinion! The mind boggles!'"
Well said. I completley agree with you.

Completely agree semi finals can take a lot out of teams due to the intensity of the game and its even worse getting beat in a final. I'd rather go out in the first round than be beaten at Wembley tbh. There were other factors but it didn't do Huddersfield any favours in the league and it was all a bit pointless given nobody remembers a runner up (except opposition fans using it as ammunition to gloat, another reason its better getting knocked out earlier). The timing of the cup is such that any big injuries can impact on the playoffs. If you end up winning the cup of course these issues become pretty insignificant, in fact judging by the comments from Wire fans before the Wigan game you'd think they'd won the double last season, they must have thought it was by one get one free (as with their players it would appear  ).

Thank you very much!
Back to the game...
I think it will go one of three ways. Either we'll win, you'll win or it'll be a draw... and that's a fact!*
*Unless the match is abandoned! (Damn, I was so close to posting an actual fact there!  )

| They must be on their way over.
Must say I'm looking forward to tonight's game. I hope we're more competitive than the Saints debacle. We ought to be.
