Finally seen the highlights... You couldn't see from my angle how fucking good Teddy's finish was. Why is he not our striking coach??

I just think football should always be football, no matter the occasion

It was a fun occasion, if anything it was nice to see a Premier League ref showing they arent robots, it made for a fun atmosphere - there's been enough negativity this season, without us turning a celebration into a serious event. Do you stricly enforce rules at childrens parties for a living ?

With the showboating, personal battles and pride at stake, and clear enjoyment in the play I wish that was modern day football. The alternative is the dross we've watched for the last 9 months.

My Ledley King Testimonial programme arrived today, sent to me by Cliff & Joan Jones. There are three autographs inside it but I have no idea who they are so will have to work that out, as well as Cliff autographing it himself. They also sent me a postcard pic of Cliff, also autographed, one of their match tickets from Executive Box 39, a ribboned ID card for The Centenary Lounge and the King of The Lane guest list with all the players' names on it. I will really treasure these items: I only expected a programme and wasn't sure if they would be able to get any autographs.

They are off on hols today so I'm really pleased they managed to post it before they went globe-trotting.

I may scan the programme page if I can't work out who signed it as someone on SC may know the signatures.

Well we're not talking about a children's party here, we're talking about the beautiful game. I'm just confused why Webb thought he had the right to all of a sudden have a kick around, I'm sure it was not planned that way. And how did it come to be that a fan would become the linesman? I was left a little confused. I'm not a kill joy I swear, I just like order to things.

Can anybody decipher the autographs? Cliff's is obvious!

Got them all now. John Pratt, Cliff, Martin Chivers and Tony Galvin (not Tony Parks as I thought at first).

Sucks to be you then because your post has an uneven number of characters. 373 to be exact so you may want to edit your post.

Gotta be a troll. There's simply no way a real person could misunderstand things so monumentally.
