Correct, although I think it was a little bit earlier. Around the time we lost 3-0 at Sheffield Utd they either beat or drew with Southend at home on a Friday night, I remember the Slags I work with over the moon that we were DEFINITELY going to be swapping divisions at the end of the season. More superb predictions from the blue few...and they wonder why we take the piss out of them so much?

After the Sheffield Utd defeat, when we were apparently doomed to relegation according to the Sags, we won 26 more points that season. Rovers only managed 12 points in the same time period. I think they ended up getting relegated, but I’m not sure? Edit: just looked it up, it wasn’t Southend they played, it was Burton who they beat at home.

Unbelievable. They really do have this mindset - it`s bizarre. They would be happy to fail provided we failed in a bigger way. Most of them would die happy if they were one point ahead of us, even if it was in Conference South at the time. I often use this analogy - if a City fan came across a s*g drowning in the canal and offered his hand to help the s*g would rather pull him in with him than let him help him out. 5 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
