Bad Wolf

I find our rivalry with Brighton a lot more intense than our rivalry with Bournemouth. I live in Plymouth so delighted to see them promoted. Didn't realise they had been down there since we relegated them. I like how P*mpey call us tinpot for winning the JPT from League One but finishing 3rd in League Two (probably) is the best thing ever...

He reminds me of Morgan when we first signed him.

Remember when SISU were going to buy us and everyone was really optimistic about the whole thing? Then it fell through and we were all gutted? Then they purchased Coventry instead? Cov just got relegated to League Two with a lot of their players likely to leave in the summer and no money to buy more. Absolutely shocking. Be thankful for small mercies because that could have been us!

JWP, Yoshida and Redmond all scoring in the same game?!?! WTF is going on?!

Bradley Wright-Phillips is still annoyed that his record was broken. Didn't expect to see Yoshida play. He's going to be knackered. Martin must either be very very unfit or just gash. I reckon we might see him at some point though. Last chance saloon for poor J-Rod. Repeat of last time please lads. COYR!!!!!!! (It's definitely a derby)

Now I'm going to be spending the whole day what future failed Arsenal manager Eddie Howe does eat for breakfast. He seems like a Frosty's kinda guy to me.

Not surprised about any of this. It's good Gabbi's injury isn't too bad. As someone else on here rightly pointed out, we beat them comfortably at their ground without him. That means we'll probably see J-Rod at some point in the game, maybe even Ollomollla. Getting toward last chance saloon for poor Jay. As soon as I saw Yoshida involved with Japan on Tuesday, I knew there was little chance of him playing. Sounds like a fair few of our players should be looking at this as a huge opportunity to show themselves off.

Literally came on here with the intention of bumping this thread (or a similar one) up. I saw a statute the other day, That is Ted Bates, I heard someone say. I laughed and laughed and then I said, Why the small body and the massive head, The massive head, The massive head Why the small body and the massive head. Ah memories.

Puel gets way too much stick. I really like him. In a non gay way you understand. Good bloke, good manager.

I'm really looking forward to this. It's not just another game at all. It's nowhere near the same level as our derbies with P*mpey or even Brighton for that matter. But it's still a derby.

Very close to being the finished product but not quite. He needs a session as our under study. There must be a line between being out on loan and not in contention and being fIrst choice. I'd like to see him, next session, playing the cup games and filling in in the PL if and when needed.

Didn't play badly just lacked urgency.

We're not actually playing that badly. We just look like a team that has nothing to play for. Frustrating thing is, I've seen Spurs play a lot better than thks.

Skatesmuff 2-0 down at home to Stevenage.

My local ground is Home Park and their stadium announcer has so much more enthusiasm than ours. I don't think it's his fault though, I seem to remember Matchday Uncovered for the Sunderland game showed he wanted to jazz up the announcement for our eighth but they said no just do it as you would normally. I did wonder if being a bit more happy clappy was a lower league thing but if I remember rightly it was the same boring ****e when we were in League One.

Should be other way round it's at OT. So far so good!

1-0 up, Sims pounces on a United player's mistake. Very strong line up from Saints.

Morgan scores for Everton. 2-0

Bournemouth 1-1 West Ham Everton 1-0 West Brom Hull 0-0 Swansea Fonte at fault for Bournemouth's equaliser and gives away a penalty five minutes later. Skatesmuff winning, Eastleigh winning. At worst, a mixed day for us so far both practically and personally.

Wehey, he's won! Well deserved, congratulations.

37% now.

It'll be sad to say goodbye to J-Rod but I just don't see him returning to his 2013-14 form. I think Gabbi's arrival and Austin getting closer. Plus Long and Gallagher as back up, will spell the end for him. It'll be sad but he'll always have a special place in our hearts but no point keeping players just for sentiment or we'd still have Hammond, Harding and Chaplow playing for us!

When was the last time we did that? Anyone know?

There's a group that a Skate friend keeps sharing stuff from on Facebook. Pretty much just an anti Saints group. Usual pictures taking the **** out of our JPT (one of them even said it's more embarrassing to win it than compete in it and not win it...Typical Skate logic). Also the usual crap about them being bigger because they won 2 or 3 trophies 70 odd years ago. But they're now planning to put their phone lights in the air in the 87th minute of their next game (the minute we conceded yesterday) to mock our tribute to Markus. They're genuinely horrible little ****ers aren't they? I'm not even sure why I'm surprised considering the time they jeered all the way through the minutes silence for Ted Bates years ago. Hope the pathetic b*stards stay down there for a long time. Disgusting little club. Also...They all seem to be irritate as well :/

That's two of our ex players that have talked us up to their fellow countrymen. Goodo. Just thought, Bertrand made his Chelsea debut in the CL final, didn't he?
