The wind-up bumper car, Nathan Jarman, just wouldn't stop running, wouldn't stop flicking, but did stop to flick open his bottle of champagne.

Here's Mr Counterintuitive riding over the Wolds in a cape of concern and a hatful of herrings. Despite three goals conceded Bennett and Stockdale didn't seem to do anything wrong, but for two sublime turns and a fall it's Nathan Jarman, who tried very hard from first to last.

They did nothing positive, they just got in the way: Tom Newey and Nick Heggggarty showed why Mr Re-Newell is desperately seeking Susan, a left-sided utility player probably sat in that executive box with lights out.

"We have to eradicate the nervousness that spreads in the last 10 minutes when we are ahead in games."

"We put three up front and we showed a bit of character. We went down to 10 men and had to play three at the back, but we kept three up top and had a go. It's great to come this distance, particularly with the fans coming up, and give them something to cheer about going back. It will do us a world of good because it is the first time we have shown real character."

They were nothing but two old blokes in the handcart of hope. They didn't bother having a goalkeeper and just kicked the ball in the air towards Lee Bradbury. And that's it. I'm not going to waste any more of my life thinking about them, for there was nothing to think about.

Mr D Foster (Tyne & Wear)
For those in the sweepstake: 28 minutes for him to get the ironic applause. He spent the first half wilfully inciting the crowd with one-eyed pettiness. The sending-off was internally consistent, if only because he'd rather arbitrarily booked Guyett before. With two-eyed pettiness he gets 4.101.

We may have avoided victory, but we also avoided defeat. C'mon everybody, the place was really shaking from the bare feet slapping on the floor -€“ three goals is three steps to heaven!
