I wonder why Jon hasn't replied to my e-mail that had stated I was sorry for posting a spoiler in the wrong section of the forum.

Historical Football Facts
"In 1982–83, Blackpool finished four places from the bottom of the entire Football League, their lowest-ever ranking in the competition, and were only saved from relegation to the Alliance Premier League (now the Conference) because the re-election system voted in their favour." (Thanks to Wiki)
How about Southampton? They finished 2nd in the top league (today called the Premiership).
On the basis of one game, I wouldn't exactly say you were towering over us Damian.
but you probably are

Most families have more than one Jon, so you were lucky to get an answer having provided so little information.

Argh - this is driving me nuts. I log on excited that there's a new message and it's just one damn word. A useful or perhaps relevant sentence might please more people, Jason!

I want Chris to know that I'm a very genuine person, and I don't mean to make Jon unhappy!

I agree. Please don't take offence Jason but I suspect that what happens on this forum is a miniscule part of Jon's life. He has probably, like the rest of us, forgotten why he's supposed to be annoyed with you.
So, please take off the hair shirt and stop flogging yourself.

Is this the official "post your result against Blackpool" thread? If so:
BURNLEY 2 BLACKPOOL 0.
Thank you.
