29 March 2003

Moribund Sheffield Wednesday scrape a 2-2 draw at home to Watford in the first division but remain five points adrift of the Mariners having now played a game more. With 32 points from 40 games, fans of the South Yorkshire underachievers could finally be facing up to the increasing possibility of second division football at great big Hillsborough next season.

Treacherous narcissist John Oster was the surprise name in the starting line-up as Wales romped to a 4-0 victory over Azerbaijan in Cardiff this afternoon to preserve their 100 per cent record in Euro 2004 qualifying. The Sunderland winger - whose grossly inflated sense of self-worth led him to turn down a move to Grimsby this week, causing two other loan transfers to collapse and all but kill off Town's bid for survival - was handed his first start for his country since 1999 by Welsh manager Mark Hughes. Like we care.
