From a BBC article on Sunderland's plight. That other lot from north of the river must be finding it strange that they'd mention the biggest teams in League One for comparison. Must be to make the drop look less painful for those poor Sunderland fans...

They are always complaining about not getting national recognition, and here it is their time has come.

Keep everything crossed, they could still go down..! 

Highly unlikely, of course... but more possible than making the play offs..!

...and I seem to remember that it was practically impossible in 2014, as Mansfield got of the team coach and realised that nobody had even bothered packing their teams kit..!

Sorry, not even theoretically possible. Even one fixture between the teams on 47-50 points would scupper your theory and I really can’t be bothered to check. Even if there isn’t one you’re talking about 20-odd results ending up exactly right, not just a couple.

I didn’t even notice that, that’s brilliant.

Tinpot;

Plymouth Argyle set to complain about Bristol Rovers over pitch issues in the Central League

Part of the pitch was hired out until 2pm, which was only half an hour before the 2.30pm kick-off. It meant the Pilgrims’ players had to wait around for a while with nowhere to warm up.

I know! I wasn’t seriously suggesting that they’d go down..!

Just highlighting that their “play off push” is currently nearer relegation, than the play offs..!

I was in Asda yesterday and saw a 30 something Sag dressed in full kit. I was so tempted to ask him if he was on lunch from McDonalds....but knowing their supporters he would probably have tried to go all Tote End about it so I didn’t bother.

Was up on the Downs last week on a sunny afternoon buying an ice cream by the Sea Walls. Saw a sag with his shirt on looking upstream towards the Suspension Bridge. In the background the Lansdown Stand was glinting in the sunshine. I wondered what his thoughts might be as he stood there on top of the cliff?

Probably something along the lines of "hmmm how can we scab that stadium for free from those Gert teds"

Probably “oh look. You can see Trashton from here” just as his mum told him to stop Day dreaming and dribbling Mr Whippy down his chin. To which he probably responded with a punch to her nose and a good feel of her breasts.

I must ask one of my gas acquaintances how many points that would be worth.

Probably thinking,I bet the sheed's wish they had a real football ground like us,quickly followed by a lot of thumb sucking and muttering of obscenities under his breath as he dragged his knuckles along the ground,back to his carer.

Look out for reference to 'these people' a 'Mr Singh' and of course how if there was ever any instances of racism at the Mem.... (which we all know there have been).

They really are a throwback to more bigoted times.

Who the hell is Mr Singh?

Is he some kind of famous local talent spotter in North Bristol?

Yes, don’t you just hate that...

You’re standing there, pointing and laughing at a Saghead, reminding them about how hilarious it is that they dropped out of the entire League....and they suddenly turn into a massive, blue, Swedish furniture store right in front of your eyes.

Mr Singh is one of my long standing customers, a very nice man from Kingsdown.

Maybe be start shopping in Sainsbury’s. Won’t see many of them in there. Wonder why that would be .

Bless them. Listen to a Rovers fan is like going for Sunday lunch with a bigoted grandparent, who doesn’t quite get it, but is at least trying..! 

Which is kind of ironic, when going to the Mem is kind of like visiting an 80 year old, whose struggling to get themselves out of the 1970’s..!
