Re: Tonight's Football

Past reputations are gradually disappearing as the minions lose their fear of the top dogs of yesterday. Nothing can be taken for granted any more. You need to post this on a Gibraltar football forum TD :D England were far too pedestrian last night. They were well organised defensively but didn't l...

Re: Beware of Grecians bearing gifts. Home v Exeter City, 25th Nov. 3-0'clock.

Let's make no bones about it, this is a game we should highlight with a W against it. If we're on it, we could blow them away and we need to make sure we're at it from minute 1. They're down in the dumps, but any side in this league can be dangerous if we don't treat it right. I'd start with the us...

Re: Its not the Hatters that Matter but anther win on the spin. Bolton v Stockport EFL Cup away Tues 14th Nov 7:30pm

It's a dead rubber Tango. We're already through. BSA thought nothing of putting weak teams out in the cups and watching them get thrashed (6 nil at Spurs anyone?) but I'd rather protect our lot from that. Would love to see Khumbeni, Matheson and one or two others start, but with the experience of JD...

Re: Where no seagulls fly...Home to Blackpool Sat 11th Nov, 1500 hrs.

Be great if we are at our very best for the whole 90 minutes because I believe we'd stuff em if we were.

However, last Monday I'd have taken 4 points from our next 2 games, no problem, so a draw wouldn't be the end of the world.

Big away following, we're in a great run of form, up against Jordan Rhodes and Evatts just won manager of the month.

Huge kick in the knackers incoming!

I really hope you're right Pru. Perhaps I'm still mentally scarred by going to bed one May evening in 1992, all giddy at the prospect of chucking em out, and waking up to find the country voted 'stick' rather than 'twist'. I mean you'd have to be stark raving bonkers to vote for this current lot. De...

Re: No Gooseberries at Shrewbury. Away to Shrewsbury Tuesday 7th Nov 7-45.

Great result. Those of us still willing Dan to come good (that's all of us, yes?) have got to be pleased with his contribution for the 2nd goal. Great interplay and finish from the 3 of them.

^ Hear hear! I only found out today that 'A small Eva Braun' is an anagram of Suella Braverman Amusing but,alas, not accurate. Suella Braverman has 15 letters, 3 a's, 2 r's and 2 e's. 'A small Eva Braun' has 14 letters, 4 a's, 1 r and 1 e. But all is not lost. You can use 'smaller Eva Braun' and be...

Rumours strengthening that Oxford are going to lose manager Liam Manning to Bristol City.
Just seen that. Great news for everyone else but they must be gutted if he does go. Can't see them attracting as good a replacement. Cowleys perhaps?

Paul Warne. Dead man walking? You'd have to imagine so. I think Derby last season were still overcoming the issues they had that led to their relegation. Now given they've had some time you'd imagine they'd be looking to expect a little more than middling performances after a season under Warne. La...

Re: An Athletic sprint down the Valley: V Charlton away 28th Oct. 3-0'clock.

Never in doubt. Good atmosphere down there today DSB? Sounds like a great away performance. If I'm allowed one teeny, tiny worry, its that once again, in terms of scoreline, we were much stronger in the 1st half than the 2nd. I'll take this kind of result each week until May though! Great atmos! Ma...

Re: An Athletic sprint down the Valley: V Charlton away 28th Oct. 3-0'clock.

Is there a ground where we have a better record than we have here in the last dozen or so visits? Sad to be missing it this year but since we finally scored and won at Fortress Adams Park this week, the football gods will ensure we come a cropper at this usual happy hunting ground on Saturday. 0-1 d...

Re: Wycombe and we go: Away vs Wycombe (Tues 24th October 19:45)

I'll probably write more in a bit but here's a quick puzzle for you. To win the penalty that brought our 4th (that's right, fourth) goal last night, Cameron Jerome was fouled by Richard Keogh, who is one of only three players to feature in League One this season who's older than Jerome. (By three d...

Re: Wycombe and we go: Away vs Wycombe (Tues 24th October 19:45)

I was working last night and just checked quickly at 1-2 & the 2-3 stages. Great win and sort of typifies life under Evatt. We go to a ground where we've never even scored before, let alone pick up a point, and we rattle in 4. The flip side to that is we'll probably chuck points away, or look like w...
