Jago

Very minor point Dagger but I have mis-spelt no 23. He should be Elliot Coster (not Costa). Clearly a proper London costermonger heritage rather than a coffee making dilettante - which would surely have ruined our pub-team image once and for all. Amended - just as well, as the Costa coffee at Wembley meant you needed a mortgage to get it

Hi Tony. Two more please: Russell Clinton Martin Clinton Also - please drop "Baby Jago" from Eddie Wheeler. Many thanks John Thanks John - and please pass on my thanks to Joe The Geordie, the leader of the Newcastle branch of our supporters club.

Thanks for doing this Tony. And as it seems I'm contributing 😉 I'd better have a copy or two. So please reserve 4 named copies as follows: Eddie Wheeler (aka Baby Jago) Elliot Costa Joe "The Geordie" Trotter Luke Binda Many thanks Jago

An utterly fantastic day. Actually the win over Notts County was the big one for me - as it was SO unexpected and it got us to Wembley - but I'm still pinching myself after yesterday's performance. The culmination of a huge amount of work by the team, the management, and all behind the scenes. Thoroughly deserved: I'm so happy for everyone, especially Colin and Ken. I genuinely never thought I'd live to see this day. And I'm quite old. Let's hope we can keep the squad together and kick-on next season. And keep a goodly number of those new (or returning) fans. I'm really quite co

Aha... Thanks for the extra payment. You know who you are!

Obviously you will all have been following the excitement of the Play Off Final on last week's thread, so not too much point in re-stating the outcome. But for those who need reminding it was the expected canter for Urchin Queen in a one-sided "match" against Dinamo Urchin who is still wondering how he qualified in the first place. (Final score 11-4 for the stats nerds out there). So a big welcome to the dog-eat-dog world of UPMINSTA for Mrs Jago - which means all three of the Jago clan are now pottering about in the top division (*subject to rule 3.5). Accident? On merit? Fix? You

I popped over yesterday and just want to say well done to all involved in organising this and the enthusiasm generated at the stall. Fabulous stuff.

Me again. Actually yes, I do have better things to do, but just to confirm, the final score was LADY JAGO 11-4 DINAMO URCHIN. URCHIN QUEEN WINS THE PLAY-OFFS. Well Done Mrs Jago - that's all three Jagos in the Top Division. Which is only right. I'll bung a "closure thread" on the forum tomorrow as apparently I have better things to do now. And actually Dinamo, yes I feel your pain in the real world after tonight's late Villa equaliser (not that it would have changed the prediction league result).

UPDATE - It's now LADY JAGO 9-3 DINAMO URCHIN after the end of the Milk Cup final. The only surprise is that Dinamo has managed to get 3. So it's a big welcome to the elite for la belle dame sans merci (SUBJECT TO RULE 3.5 etc, etc)

I'd have managed somehow. Fortunately I can leave my powder dry for a future occasion as you've truly excelled yourself by going 5-0 down after today's first three games. And can only catch up by a max of 4 in the next two. Your only hope is that the League Cup Final gets cancelled or abandoned, and Chelsea win the women's Euro match. But then you'd still have to rely on West Brom beating Villa. So I'd crack open another botle of rioja if I were you. Or get yourself to Wembley and dig up the pitch. PLAY OFF FINAL HALF TIME SCORE (after 3 matches)

Good news Luke. May I suggest some rocking chairs and a couple of tartan blankets for the draught? (The wind not the Guinness). Some of the guys up there are getting on a bit.

That's the thing about the Hatted Urchin. You never quite know what you're going to get! Keep it up Mr Hat.

On the week that the official FA Trophy Final (YES – FINAL) Hornchurch FC shirt was unveiled, it’s understandable if your interest in the normally “captivating” Prediction League play-offs is not at its normal fever-pitch level. But you’d expect the remaining competitors to take a passing interest wouldn’t you? Actually – no. Frankly a very poor attempt across the board... Dinamo top scored with 7. Yes. SEVEN. Pathetic. None of them even noticed that the Dungannon game was played on Friday night so missed the opportunity to scoop a full house. (Well actually Wivenhoe may have notic

A rather dull final week as it was nearly all stitched up last week when the congratulations were dished out to Mr D and Blackballed. I mean they're both nice guys, but I feel one week of being nice to them is enough, don't you? Though Blackballed did cement his Golden Boot with another impressive 13 goal haul (and another weekly G Boot award). At this rate he may well stay up next year. The only movement of significance (and I am talking in relative terms!), was Ozz holding his nerve to leapfrog the enthusiastic, but ultimately "not quite good enough" Mysterious Nick for the final pl

OK - so no Mr Hat and no miracle for Lord Upminster, but here are the interim scores and tables with one fixture (Tot-ManU) to come - it can all still change - gosh the excitement.
