As we approach the halfway point in the League One season, more or less nothing has yet been
decided and with each passing week more questions are being asked of which more or less none are
being definitively answered. No matter which we way we choose to interpret this league table, it
makes for extraordinary reading.

Year Flashback: Paul Hart Out at QPR- Ex-QPR Stuart Wardley Still Thriving in Football
- Thirty-Six Years Ago: QPR Knocked Chelsea out of the FA Cup!
The departure of Owen Coyle 12 months ago has so far proved to be too big an obstacle for
Burnley to recover from. Since the Scot left for the bright lights of Bolton, the club has slipped
from its short-lived stint among the country's elite and back into the Championship, and an
underwhelming first half of this season led to Coyle's successor, Brian Laws, being relieved of his
duties.
The club has announced that Andros Townsend has joined Watford on loan until the end of the
season, after spending the first part of this campaign at Ipswich. He has previously had loans at
Orient, MK Dons & Yeovil.
Townsend impressed during his Spurs debut in the FA Cup third round game against Charlton,
scoring our first goal in the 3-0 win.
Rotherham are the visitors this Tuesday night as Boro look to continue where they left off on
Saturday. The games are coming thick and fast now as Boro effectively begin their Christmas period
after the original fixtures were postponed due to the poor weather at the back end of 2010. This
game was initially pencilled in for the 8th January, but our 3rd round tie against Newcastle meant
that the game had to be put back.
On a day when elevation to the Premier League became even more enticing after the sacking of Andy
Gray as a pundit by Sky Sports, the Reds welcomed Bristol City to the City Ground on a chilly rainy
evening. Our visitors were competent whilst unadventurous, opting to defend their 0-0 draw and hit
on the break.
After Tuesday's thrilling comeback victory at Blackpool, Manchester United return to FA Cup
action and to the road as they face League One promotion hopefuls Southampton on Saturday
evening.
On Tuesday night at Bloomfield Road, United were down 2-0 with under 20 minutes remaining. But
three goals in the late stages, including a brace by Premier League scoring leader Dimitar
Berbatov, handed the league leaders a 3-2 win and a five-point lead over Arsenal at the top of the
Premier League table.
United travelled to St Marys' to taken on Southampton on Saturday in the FA Cup. The Saints are
currently just outside the automatic promotion places in League One; in case anyone needs
reminding, that is the third division of top flight English football - but anyone who didn't know
which one of these two clubs was the current Premier League leaders would have struggled to tell
you.
