FA cup weekend

Wigan 1 - 2 Chelsea

We've been knocked out of the FA cup at the 4th round by an understrength Chelsea team. Not a surprise really, but at least we managed a goal. The pitch was a mess as usual (what is happening with the vare stripe across the length of it!) I'm surprised we've not been reported over it yet.

Also a busy Friday down at the JJB. We signed Marlon King for i'm sguessing 5 million. I'm not sure whether he's good enough, but we're just going to have to see how he goes. We certainly need a goal scorer. Fulham are reportedly going to come in with another bid for Scharner, which will probably see him go, to get the King money back in the warchest.

Derby 1 - 4 Preston

Now this is the one that i went to. My thinking being that it would be better watching Preston get beaten than Wigan. How wrong was i!? Preston ripped Derby apart and went in at half time 3-0 up. Derby we're very poor, and shame on their fans for booing Claude Davis en masse. Yes you may think he's shit but it's hardly his fault, maybe you should be making your feelings known to Jewell who's picking him week in week out. In the second half Derby seemed to wake up slightly and put a bit of pressure on, Rob Earnshaw scored to make it 3-1 but then Preston got back on top again, and just before the end got a penalty which Mellor put away.

Went to see the flat on Saturday morning, but wasn't impressed. It was very very small and every single surface was white. I know landlords have to have a sort of neutral decor but i felt like i'd walked into a mental ward! The c0mmunal area downstairs was full of rubbish too bags of empty beer bottles and cans. Quite obvious that the other 3 flats we're occupied by students, rather than the "young doctor and 2 girls" the estate agent stated.

The search continues....
