A fortnight ago a St Pat's supporter e-mailed us with an idea, one we intended using until it escaped our memory. Just as well, really.

"Dear Planet Football, Just a suggestion for your number of the week. It's a number that proves how Bohemians are the capital's `fourth club' - 8,389. That's the number of days since the end of April 1978, when the Gypsies last won the league (indeed it wasn't even in my lifetime as I'm 17!). Yours sincerely, A N Other". In fairness, he did sign his name, but after yesterday's events we haven't the heart to name him. Congratulations Bohs. "Alan"? Gutted.
