Great. Hopefully this means the good run will continue, UTA

If Brighton and Cardiff lose, and Birmingham win, tomorrow, does it suddenly make it a 'lucky' award or does the jinx disappear?

- Oh yes - and you've met God have you? Good friend of yours is he? Let's hope he's wearing blue and white tomorrow!

Claude Back and Cabion fever have it right - there is no such thing about a jinx! Do a quick Google search on 'regression toward the mean' if you don't believe us.

MSN columnist Matt Holland asks who was the easiest player and who was the most difficult to referee?
"Well, funny Matt should ask that question as he's probably just looking for a name check as he was a real gentleman on the pitch, but the best was actually Gianfranco Zola. I was once a fourth official when France was cautioned for diving, which was just ridiculous, and she just got on with it and gave his name and took it with good grace.
Anyone else spot the mistakes? haha

On another note, Just wanted to say what a disgrace a significant majority of Millwall's fans are. Aggressive, foul mouthed scum who go out of their way to "prove" themselves regardless of who is around them, woman, kids and the elderly. They think they are hard and threatening, but they are just morons who must live in the gutter and want eveyone to hate them. Ally clubs have their hard boys, but few like this rabble and fewer still that would show so much dis-respect for children, woman etc. Apologies in advance to any decent Millwall fans reading this, but many of your fans are just pond life (and thats not even fair to the inhabitents of murky green, stagnant water!
