It says something about our supporters that the”‘most mundane and beige club in the entire division” average MORE at home than Stoke City.

I’m a bit confused? Only last August they were wetting themselves over the best squad they’ve ever assembled with a certain promotion challenge to look forward to and today they finish the season 19 points behind the play offs and below the mighty Exeter again. Did they get a massive points deduction or something?

UEFA cup winners as well.

Depends which non league ground you’re talking about? 10 years this year.

Yet they all still think they ‘nearly’ sell out every game End of season dead rubber is the excuse today. Add it to the lengthy list of Gas excuses along with Champions League on the box, a bit of rain and Halloween. ”if they play on the streets we’d watch them from the pavement…as long as it’s not an end of season game with nothing riding on it….you ******* SHITHEAD”

I’ve always thought we’re lucky to have a song like Drink up thy Zider associated with our club. It’s a proper anthem with a huge connection to OUR part of the World. Not many other clubs have that…including the Gas.

The only consolation about not relegating Birmingham in 2017 was that Villa fans would’ve hated it. Still remember them celebrating the week before when they lost to Blackburn because it kept Brum in the shit….but…it kept US in the shit as well with Brighton to face that evening. Some Villa fans suggested that their players weren’t exactly busting a gut in their game.

That was Mansfield in 1987. They’ve MORE than paid us back for that day.

10 years this year

Definitely Huddersfield for 45 points, Hull got us to 44 although without looking we could’ve been ok with goal difference (although losing literally every game for the rest of that season would’ve dented that ). In fairness end of February is pretty accurate so your more or less spot on. At the end of this season we’ll know the result that made us truly safe. I believe it will be the Swansea match. Every season I just hope we can get to 35 points+ by Christmas, you can relax a bit, enjoy your turkey and hope that the rest of the season will produce a bit of excitement at the right end of the table. Doesn’t happen too often for us in the Championship unfortunately mate.

Well, 7th March….0-0 away to Huddersfield. But that wasn’t ‘mathematically’ safe at that time, in hindsight we now know that it was but that’s not what we’re talking about. I don’t think people were too worried last season as our performances and results improved consistently from Jan onwards. Something that can’t be said this season. It wasn’t until our 2-0 defeat at Watford that other results meant that we couldn’t possibly go down no matter how the rest of the season panned out. With enough games left in the season, teams below you is irrelevant as is bookies odds. I personally only felt really concerned when the results started coming in later in the afternoon after our defeat to Cardiff. Even then I knew we had plenty of time to sort it out even if performances weren’t promising. Either way Im happy we’ve avoided the embarrassment of relegation this season and I hope LM can prove me wrong next season.

Just saying… We achieved mathematical safety last season on April 15th, game 42 of the season. Tomorrow is game 42 of this season.

Ok, so if people stop saying “top 6” and change it to “top end of the Championship” (which was a term used for where they expected us to be with our squad), would that be acceptable?

They would boast about how many Twitter followers he had FFS Absolutely lapped up his ‘hard man’ image…they spoke and acted like him on social media and then would appear so bemused as to why they were being ridiculed by fans of clubs up and down the country for being throughly unlikable nob heads. All they got out of the whole thing was a 7-0 win against a team of school kids already relegated from the League and a lower mid table L1 finish below Exeter and Cheltenham the following season.
