probably. but then again, the championship and league one promotions were brilliant fun and football will never be what it was when I was a kid - the gap between rich in poor in the league matches the gulf in rich and poor in society and there would need to be a revolution to turn that around (e.g. for breach of the FFP regulations Man City are deducted 30 points, wage cap on players, player draft type thing or something aimed at the quality of the academy, 8 home grown players in the first team every week or you're docked points - that sort of thing). I say probably as it depends on the quality of our next generation - If Targett and Reed can replace AL and LS, and we can ship out Osvaldo and get in 2 decent attacking options for big money then we could match this year. So, not a "yes" (though that's how it feels emotionally - makes me feel sick to read the BBC news site at the moment), not a "no" as you'd be mental to think we're about to break into the top 6, but a "who the eff knows" at the moment. Btw, if MoPo goes to Spurs, would it make sense to take Sherwood in return - I think he's got something about him (something ****ing frightening ;-))

if only there was a thread for this

"does your wife know you are here" I'll still clap him, he's my age so his retirement makes me all sentimental

His goal against Wimbledon that sent the crazy gang down was special. It also won me 250 quid!

Eweleaze Farm - it's superb, though also described as a middle class refugee camp due to it's wood fired pizza oven and yurts

To be fair, I'm a happy clapper who hates all the negative ****s on here but I agree with that

****ing hell that is hilarious

those answers were brilliant - refreshingly honest and not put through a PR machine

ah, yeah, that was it - give me a chance mate, I was probably ****ed

best bit about nottingham was the leeds fans scoring against man u fans and the cheer that went up from every fan there

i played in Nottingham, remember Ski getting his mouth ripped open (ouch) and can anybody forget my backheel against aek athens? i have :-)

is DC still married to Beth? a saintlist romance to warm the cockles of the heart. yolly still going? i joined the list 91/92 while at Uni - they were fun time with less WUMs

I had a ticket, but had childcare issues so tried to buy 4 in the family centre to no avail (on Friday morning the ticket office said that they had 43 left, all in the Northam). So didn't go...

Totally love this day, and it's touched with a tinge of sadness for me, not only around Marcus but also it was the last game I went to with my mum before she died of cancer (she went into a coma and came out to see us in the Championship, but didn't make it through the premier promotion season). It was a bloody brilliant day out all round, and given I also saw us lose in the ZDS I expect to see us win the FA Cup in about 10 years.

having just seen a bunch of pompey lads behaving like ****s at Schipol (and getting threatened with arrest by gun toting policeman - that was amusing), it backed up my normal "let them rot in the conference" thoughts

nah, look for the young Tiger Woods and you'll spot him (sorry Phil :-))

Bloody hell, get a sense of perspective!

JD Fives in Eastleigh so a much higher standard than the fishy few

I've played footy with Gareth. top bloke, very clever

So, to clarify, they voted to drop Russian as a language about a day before the Russians decided to roll in to Crimea with unmarked troops and used this a one of the reasons. Worth watching RT & BBC at the moment to try and form a balanced picture.

I'm looking forward to next season with 15 new players to replace everybody that's leaving

I'm reminded of a major plot point in REAMDE by Neal Stephenson at the moment (a great read)

do it

i know, it must be a sign of the apocolypse - ha ha oh

Barker is a computer science grad so he wants a 2 match run in decimal.
