GATE 17: April update bulletin

THE LEAGUE ... OUR BREAD AND BUTTER

Top of the league and having a laugh ... well almost ... The title is still ours to lose even after a thoroughly disappointing weekend which saw Chelsea get beaten by Sp*rs and Manure scrape a Fergie time winner against City at Eastlands. With just three games left it certainly is squeaky bum time. Next up on Sunday are Stoke City at the Bridge. The smart money's on Super Frank to add to his amazing goal tally

FA Cup

Chelsea are Wembley bound again after brushing aside the limp wristed challenge of Aston Villa 3-0. Carlo's men will face Avram Grant's Blue and White Pompey army who surprisingly beat Sp*rs in the other Semifinal.

JOKERS CORNER

Emile Heskey’s wife wanted him locked up – she had had enough of him so she went to the police and told them, “Please help, my husband has been hitting me.” The police gave the following advice … “Don’t worry. Just carry a goal post in each hand and he’ll never hit you!”

GATE 17 SUPPORTER OF THE MONTH ... March

Mark Walsh

Friend of Gate 17, Mark Walsh started the RECLAIM THE SHED campaign to have away supporters seated anywhere else but the Shed ... what a great idea ... I have much sympathy for it ... I just hope Eddie Barnett doesn't move them to Gate 17 :-) Top row of the West Stand is about right I reckon, then at least it doesn't look as embarrassing when the away team doesn't take up its allocation, which seems to be happening more and more often these days. Why not show your support for the Reclaim the Shed campaign by joining the Facebook group.
