Indeed, Scunthorpe had no fans to stir so the last comparable preview I guess was the now infamous Tranmere one. And chances are I bet there are a few scousers still checking in to see if they were unfairly victimised so just for them: Eh, Calm Down, Calm Down. There you go !

But anyway onto Doncaster. As ever with these previews I spent many hours researching them this afternoon and came along a fact that I knew nothing about. Legendary 70s singer turned mormon Donny Osmond was named after Doncaster Rovers. Mr & Mrs Osmond were massive soccer fans and named their children after teams or famous individuals. Little Jimmy was named after Jimmy Greaves, Donny as explained was named after Doncaster Rovers whilst Marie was named after little known Fulham star of the 1950s, Portugese born Reggie Mari. So there's a simple fact to share with the people down the pub tomorrow and make yourself look a bit of a tit in the process.

I have to say that I am not looking forward to this game. We have only been beaten three times in the league this season - Huddersfield from Yorkshire, Doncaster themselves from Yorkshire and Yeovil in Somerset where co-incidentally I had a roast beef dinner with, you guessed it Yorkshire Pudding. It doesn't bode well really does it?

That aside though its hard to say a bad word about Yorkshire. Or is it the Peoples Republic that they call it? Indeed I will not say a single bad word about the place. Other than it smells and everyone talks funny and walks around in cloth caps. I would also ask if it was so great why is Darren Gough living down Sarf and doing girly things in ballgowns on television and why did Michael Vaughan have to captain England to spend less time there? Still, I suppose there's always Sheffield, mmmmmm. Not.

But are they any good as a football team. Well they've beaten Aston Villa this season (who hasn't?) and someone else from the dire football servings of the Premiership and next week they are playing Arsenal. Someone did point out that they will have half a mind on that particular game but I don't believe that half a Yorkshire mind is actually that big. Mind you its probably bigger than your average Tranmere fans (got another one in there for you boys!)

The upside of them playing Arsenal means a bumper crowd as you could only get a ticket for Swansea if you bought one for Arsenal proving that we are indeed the massivest club in the whole world.

Onto the team news. Bayo will not feature for us because he is back in Nigeria following the death of his grandmother leaving X-Factor finalist Paul Connor to line up alongside the goal droughted Lee Trundle. (Four games mind - pull your finger out Lee!) Roberto the magnificent and Macca will both play some part before a suspension and with many of our squad on a tightrope to stop a one match ban it will be interesting to see what Dermot Gallagher f s up on this time around.

For the home side they will have eleven players on the pitch all arguing over who will swap shirts with Thierry Henry in midweek. Clue for them: go and buy your own as it will be an Armani one he is wearing in the stand!!!!

For those travelling to Yorkshire have a safe trip, enjoy the game and bring back some points with you. And for those eating up there remember that in Doncaster Yorkshire pudding is just called pudding.

Have a good one!
