I think even I know the answer to that one.

She does know a bit about footy, a big Man U and Ryan Giggs fan. I seem to remember he came on Countdown to present her with a signed shirt to mark some achievement or other.

She is a cracking sort and a maths genius to boot.


Me you and you know a bit, but do we get a crack on TV? It's beinghotism!

Obviously how she looks is mainly why she's there plus she was on Countdown with Jeff Stelling.

Give her her due she isn't an airhead and she does know more about footy than your average lady.

Yes, except I prefer my ladies being ignorant and uninterested where sport is concerned. Nothing worse than watching sport with a woman who spends most of the time asking stupid questions and interrupting my viewing experience.

Legendary Brazillian captain of the 1970 World Cup team Carlos Alberto has died.

That side was just so awesome.

The question is who will go down? There is bound to be at least one big name club doing so when many non-household names in the Championship are performing well.

I suppose now is a good time for a League One side to get promoted this season on the basis at least one non-household name is bound to overshoot.

The way forest are playing and all the problems of the pitch, i can see us going down. Wigan along with us at present. Blackburn seem to be in as much trouble as us, but they still beat us last week. Warnock will get Cardiff safe. Burton seem to playing the right football to avoid going down. Its incredible that they are 2 points above us, and one of there better players could not get in our team, and is on loan there :facepalm
