Legod Third Coming

Touché!!

If Lambert had injured, or Fonte, or Seabourne, or Hammond, or Morgan, etc that could easily have been our line-up. It needn't have been, it was. What are you, a closet Gills fan? I don't give a stuff now that we can't get promoted. If the manager thinks he can learn something by playing the bloody tea lady in goal, let him. How are we supposed to know whether Martin can cut it? Ask him over a cappuccino? It's not like the manager hasn't proven he knows what he's doing! Let him get on with his job. As for fans travelling there in the mistaken belief we would win, welcome to the last 35 years of my life.

I believe Paul Weller and Pete Townshed were once members, but alas they have been put off by the numpty community...

We were weakened? Are Liverpool every time Torres is injured or rested? Are United when Rooney makes way for Berbatov? Are we not allowed more than 11 first team players now? Should we start with 9/10 when one/two or our normal first teamers need a rest? Gillingham were't given anything, then won. They're unbeaten in eight games at home. A week ago they beat Leeds 3-2, did they field a weakened team as well? How about when they beat Huddersfield 2-0 or Millwall 2-0? We're far too arrogant for this league and it will come back to haunt us if we don't appreciate that other teams will try to win as well... I'm not saying we can't/couldn't have beaten Gillingham but this idea we rolled over or are not allowed to vary our team is at best naive. Worse, we have people who just assume Gillingham are crap ergo everyone must beat them. Well tell that to the teams currently in the promotion places... It's amateurish in the extreme not to know teams strengths and capabilities. Wise up young man.

If you end up bottom of the league, fighting for survival it's because you are crap, not because one team or another fielded a weak side on one day, when you had 46 games of your own you could have won...

How did Norwich win the league then?

"We are, what you say, underdogs".... Yes Steve, that's right, the Dutch coined the term underdogs specifically for clown English managers to use the phrase when in Holland... What a tit.

Are you retarded?

You would but you would only have yourself to blame... What if we had played a blinder and lost to a last minute disputed penalty? Same outcome. Teams need to rely on THEIR OWN PERFORMANCES. It's pretty bloody simple.

what the feck is wrong with Steve MClaren... "always we were 1 and 2" "we only lose 2 games"... The man's a fecking idiot. Either learn Dutch or speak English man.

But you could equally say we should have lost at Norwich... it's all relative. We simply gave every other club 10 points and a 10 game start... to achieve what we did given that is a bloody miracle really.

Fans go to dead rubber and expect us to play our first eleven and give it our all after a season of winning a trophy and giving it our all to narrowly miss play-offs... hmmm... Of course, the very fact that we now travel away more in expectation than hope is perhaps something to be grateful for?? It's not as if Pardew played eleven apprentices is it? Has anyone actually seen the starting eleven? ONE new player - ONE. The rest have all played throughout the season. Mills has been excellent. Martin has a great game by all aco****s. James has to prove whether he can play in the middle. The rest play every fecking week (Connolly would if fit quite possibly). And Lambert's not allowed a rest?? This is so typical of our numpty fans and their bigoted views... oops was my microphone still on...

If you went to the theatre at the end of the 12 month West End run and found that the star was totally knackered and a very promising understudy was playing his part then it wouldn't be a shock would it? As for the other teams, maybe, just maybe they might have been better off worrying about games THEY were actually playing in? OR is it our job now to keep them up??

We had a bad start. Since October 1st we have been good enough to finish second. People talk about a stutter forgetting we played 8 games from 9 AWAY from home and achieved better results at places like Wycombe, Exeter and Millwall than most other clubs around us...

I'm only happy when we win.

They might still have lost, would that have made you happy?

1. They were nice chairs. 2. They were available. 3. He had the the money... That's three reasons already and I haven't even started thinking hard yet.

It was hardly experimenting was it? The line-up included plenty of first teamers... And by the sounds of it Martin had one of the better games. Let's not forget Gillingham's record at home, or Tranmere's... BTW how does our result at Tranmere compare with Millwall and Norwich!? If other teams were relying on us, too bad. No one did us any favours.

Why, how many have we won out of our last 10 games? We now have a pre-season, new signings and a promotion campaign on a level playing field to look forward to. Get a bloody mistress or something. Cocaine? Anything to cheer you up for gawd's sake... We lost to Gillingham? Who gives a s h i t, I'd rather go 40 miles there than to bloody Tranmere or Hartlepool!

You could have stopped at the first sentence to be honest.

That's ok, look at Chelsea, how often do they get beaten?

Thank you my friend for a very encouraging report... What a difference from every other season in my memory when we've worried which of the Big Clubs would come in for our players. Finally we are a BIG CLUB - who would have believed it? And the best bit, we seem to be the only ones who know it!!!

Touché mon ami, touché... (But really, if you were ambitious you would make Barca an offer for Messi and Xavi with an Iniesta chaser...)

Two pints of what the opening poster is drinking please.

There's always one Liberal bleating about 'proportional representation'...
