At least it distracts you from the disappointment of last night and quite probably the season before wilder leaves citing that he didn’t get the players we needed
It’s all heading back to square one whilst we lose fry in the offing

no need to hijack this thread with your rants. Go lie down.

Oh and by the way where's my £20 ? I've been waiting over two years for you to settle your bet.

Morning Ex Footy legs, I wont say much on your post, as its about this day 1979, but one thing I'll say is i'm confident we'll have a really good season, we conceded very late in a game we should have won comfortably, if we had led playing awful football & backs against the wall stuff then yes I probably would agree with you

You can hoof this back up at the end of the year

Gutting to see that line up full of young exciting talent and fast forward a couple of years and they've all been flogged to pay for a new sports hall and a holiday home in the sun for Charlie .
Absolutely criminal

I was there with my father and grandfather. Looked great going 3 up, but was a bit worried when they got a second - until it was disallowed.
Great win. Shame the team was dismantled at the end of the next season

checked out the second divisions results great to see Chelsea, West Ham, Newcastle and Sunderland all in the second tier can't see it happening again any time soon!
