Is it really too much to ask for a home game against some third division team just once?

Not the usual away to a PL team shit that we normally get.

Hope it's on the BBC rather than TNT.
I believe it's TNT.
It certainly is.

All at home. Imagine my surprise 
The rehearsal went like clockwork.
 
 
There was one suspicious bit. When Jolene drew the villa ball, the camera switched to some meaningless banter before they drew Newcastle. All good news for round 5, but at that point there was no tie featuring prem teams that would generate any sort of media hype.

Sound like a well run little outfit. Nigel Clough took them up to the English League.
The Pirelli Stadium, capacity is 6,912, record attendance for the stadium stands at 6,746. Have to beat that.
Who has the points to get a ticket?

Won't that go up for this game?

Well you should know! 😆
 
 
July 2010 West Ham XI lost 4-2.
Can't remember much about it or what the team was.
Met some old WHO ers for a drink beforehand.
