The Onion says it best ...

The classic Onion headline read "Holy Fucking Shit", and never has that phrase been more appropriate. With Aston Villa up 4-1 with 21 minutes to play, Spurs, and Alison, seemed dead and buried. But Spurs, it seems, have some cojones after all, and Alison has ... well, let's just say she has gumption.

The result, then, is that Doc is gone, once again, in the first round, while Alison moves on to the SEMIfinals of the world's greatest CUP competition!!! Here is the box score:

A disappointing result, to say the least. However, congratulations Alison, long may you live in the PREDICTION CUP, which I now forlornly depart.

In other matters, what the fuck is wrong with Liverpool?? Woeful today. I'm starting to believe the rumour that Paco was more influential than most people thought....any thoughts?

Is CT's haul of 9 points last week a record low for the season??

I hope so, that is what I was aiming for.

Wow! I'm just off a flight from Chicago, checking in to the Boot Room as my first port of call, and am thrilled to find that the PREDICTION CUP went well. Sad that Geoff, who seems like he would be a good sport and a generally nice guy, is forlornly departing the whole thing...

That was fun, Nick! Thanks for that.
