Played. Yes we've talked a few times (last time at the MCFC game v Blackburn) but we didn't chat the other night. You doing Preston v Forest next week?

I read that as well. I demand nothing less than a gold encrusted owl on my viz.

I think getting your pictures seen is the biggest part of the challenge, much more so than shooting a quality photo (though I don't mean to suggest the latter isn't important). Putting myself in the shoes of a picture desk editor at 4:55pm on a Saturday, would i want to go to a reliable website...
