Also Sheep Shaggers (no offence Si Pie) v Slave Traders on S4C (sky channel 134).

You do get the Welsh language twaddle, but the interviews are in English :) Hopefully John Hartson (studio guest) can't speak Welsh either.

edit: Hartson can indeed talk Welsh. Booooo.

I know the weather is shit and the game is on the tv but how sad it is to see so many empty seats at Football matches these days.

Pompy equalise in last minute.  Own goal.  Completely undeserved.  Still, I get an extra half hour of football.  Which is good.

And Pompy get the winner after 30 mins and 30 secs of ET.  Weird game, football.  Coventry lead for an hour.  Pompy for about 10 seconds.

The grounds are too big. If Coventry had stayed at Highfield road that game would have still had a decent atmosphere.

To be fair, I think everyones fed up with the cold. That extra 30 minutes in the cold last night must have been torture for everyone involved.

Plenty of empty seats at Liverpool tonight. Also, Newcastle managed less than 16,000 tonight. It's cold though and it is Plymouth - that'll only attract the hardcore!

I thought the self-appointed "best fans in the world" would sell out any game.

Agreed-one of the biggest myths in football,that.

Yeah, they are only averaging 42,886 this season - poor support.

Do you know these things off the top of your head?  I bet you're really fun at parties.

I'm not denying their support is pretty good - but you would have thought the best fans in the world would have turned up in greater numbers.  Unless the full title is "best fans in the world, unless its cold, or its only Plymouth, or if something else gets in the way".

I'm the life and soul.

Newcastle not having brilliant support is as much a myth as them having the best support.

The barcode clones are obsessed with losing their season tickets. Home League support - brilliant. Support in Cup competitions - mediocre. Away support - very good.
