Monday 456 - The Visigoths invade Spain and Portugal.

As a Spurs fan, I think I can speak for the fickle majority who, having been screaming for Jose's head yesterday, are now convinced after a home win against West Brom that everything is in fact rosy again, and we will now go on a run that will see us completing the quadruple this season.

Sunday 437. Battle of Wallop.

Saturday 875. - King Charles the Bald becomes Holy Roman Emperor.

Friday 919. Battle of Langshan Jiang, which sounds really exciting - 500 dragon ships using gunpowder to ignite petrol to make flamethrowers on the Yangtze. Sounds like a real-life Battle of Blackwater (for Game of Thrones fans)

Jonathan Woodgate was appointed to the coaching team a few days ago... he's currently the favourite. As a Cherries fan I'd much rather Lampard get it than Woodgate.

Thursday 1266 - Battle of Benevento.

That'll teach me to submit my team more than 24 hours before the deadline!

Every day's a schoolday. Wednesday 1273 - the establishment of the Whirling Dervishes.

Tuesday 999 - Olaf Tryggvason's Norwegians lose the Battle of Svolder, resulting in Norway being conquered and split between Olaf the Swede's Sweden and Sweyn Forkbeard's Denmark. But I'm sure you knew that.

Monday 777. Death of Waermund, Bishop of Worcester.

Sunday 696

Saturday 999

Will be working out my team over the weekend.

Friday, let's go for the classic Columbus sailing the ocean blue, in fourteen hundred and ninety two. 1492.

Thursday 1683 - wild boars were hunted to extinction in the UK.

Wednesday 1718 - the death of Blackbeard

Tuesday 1327. Death of Edward II, coronation of Edward III and start of the period when England was actually ruled by someone called Roger, which was news to me!

Monday 666

Sunday 1111. Deaths of Cadwgan ap Bleddyn and Iorwerth ap Bleddyn, princes of Powys.

Saturday - 1389 (Boniface IX becomes Pope)

1453 - the Fall of Constantinople.

Thursday 1739. The War of Jenkins' Ear.

Wednesday 1493 - the year that da Vinci made the first drawing of a helicopter.

Looking at my team, and the most chosen list, I need to be hoping for Dick van Dyke and Betty White to die. Which makes me a bit sad.
