Yeah the points deduction caused a lot of uproar at the time, not so much the fact that we got one, but the way the Football League didn’t action it straight away and left it hanging over us if we went down. Administrators were threatening legal action as they believed it could put off potential buyers. That didn’t happen of course thankfully but we did miss out on the playoffs as a result of the minus ten. Lord Mawhinney was the fucker in charge of the Football League at the time, he had the “honour” of being presented to the team before the JPT final kicked off and was roundly booed. Back to West Brom they’re fuming apparently as they’d been working directly with the EFL for the last 2 years to ensure they stayed within their means with regards to PSR, and whoever the EFL appointed has missed something that led to the breach. If it is a points deduction and it leads to a relegation that will drag on for a while with appeals. By all accounts we got Fellows at a cut price as they had no choice but to let him go. Not that it feels like we’ve had much of a bargain so far.

Got a decent applause from the Northam/ Itchen when he came over to take a corner, shame he was quietly taken off at HT, didn’t get announced in the ground. Who is our match day announcer by the way, so fucking cringey, sounds like Mr Tumble. Still can’t believe he had a year in Turkey and came back still bald.

It’s criminal really that we lost to them away. If we don’t make the autos I’ll look at that and Oxford away as the two games that cost us.

£100 to a charity of your choice from me if this happens 🤣

Chelsea away penultimate game for Spuds, can you imagine 🤣 10 years since they officially stopped them winning the Prem too.

I’ll be fucking raging if the skate cunts survive due to two teams point deductions!

Set your satnav for fourth way or Hannah close, right by the ground, I normally park at one of the businesses here, they’re just off the main approach road to the stadium and when leaving you get the jump on the official pink parking multi-storey so you’ll be back on the North Circular in minutes.

Every man and his dog was asking the same question at the time, how could everyone apart from multiple managers see how bad Baz was. Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction and the notion that he was a pricey young signing from Man City that was being instructed by someone higher up in the club to start games isn’t all that far fetched.

Not seen it before, but this city kit is fucking awful!!

Yeah the place is costing them a fortune, apparently the club still owe the owner about £90 million on it too and can’t afford to pay it back. £15 million a year just to run a training ground as a league 1 club is not sustainable at all.

Foxestalk does make for similar reading to here earlier in the season. A lot of similar characters and gallows humour. A lot of them convinced the club will go under within a couple of years which seems slightly OTT but I guess they have a better idea than me.

The stats from the game suggest the skates were getting battered as well. So fucking annoying. They should be gone really but have got lucky with some last minute winners.

Dunno if many others saw it, but talking of shithousery, Captain Jack offering the ball to their time wasting keeper during the celebrations for the second was Partridge levels of great banter. What a goal from Leo, shades of Pahars against the skates also in front of the Northam.

Fuck it’s cold at St Mary’s. Let’s see what Tonda can do when we’re up against a bit of adversity. A reminder amongst all the talk of making 2nd or storming the playoffs that things aren’t always going to go our way.

Great result that, to think most of us would have been happy with a win. Why oh why did the two skate games coincide with our shit runs of form. Would love to be playing them this month.

How the fuck is that a goal kick?

That pace from Larin!

Larin! Fuck! What a turn

That first 20 minute performance feels like a long time ago

Sounds like Parkinson crying about refs the other day has worked

Some have even suggested going for Gary O’Neil 😂 their delusions know no bounds.

Just like it was on Friday funnily enough. Not sure that result does the skates any favours, gives their manager a stay of execution which is a good thing as we don’t want them getting a new manager bounce. Skates have lost their best CB for 3 games now too.

I remember the 2003 draw getting its own little lunchtime slot on BBC the Monday after the quarters, and it was done by then England manager Sven Goran Eriksson. Now it’s fucking Joe Cole stood at the side of the pitch drawing balls out of a bag like some half time competition.

The numbers in the fa cup draw, and possibly league cup, are based on what number you were drawn out of the hat in the previous round. Saints Arsenal was the first tie drawn in the quarter finals, then Chelsea Port Vale 2nd and so on.

Fuck sake. Never mind, was nice while it lasted.
