That's one of 3 Miah, the second I don't know and the 3rd is final salary so should be ok, I hope. At 53, it's alarming and may mean early retirement plans have to be looked at again even though my plan was to go at 60. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All relative isn't it, I suspect there are Premier League teams fans who look down on your lack of success and other teams fans who can only dream of third tier football.

Agreed, I wasn't looking down on you or your team though, well, not this time. I was actually feeling the pain for you and your like.

That's the great thing about football though, every success is relative, our last minute promotion against Dagenham, or your last minute win against Manchester United, would have meant just as much-if not more- to us than an umpteenth Champions League to a Real Madrid fan. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt very much that it was because he was upset, probably more due to the fact that he's a massive Sag nause who has continually revelled in any misfortune we've had for years and years. He clearly knew that the opportunity for anyone else to give him some grief back would have been taken and relentless, and he knew he wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

FTG Bless him...thinking a week later the piss taking will have died down and everyone would’ve forgotten about it You’re absolutely spot on, it gives me a very smug feeling inside thinking about all those Sagheads and what they must have felt after spending most of that season telling US we were definitely going down. All those times they celebrated us losing league matches in divisions above them against teams that would’ve put 10 past the Sags had they been the opposition and not us. Sag nause indeed, many workplaces have more than one...I never tire of telling them how much I find their relegation to non league hilarious. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of them actually go and see that rubbish (& I don't count slipping Bob the gateman a fiver to get in) Not many I suspect judging by the sell out crowds at Turnip Patch Tent City. It's like the window lickers who phone in to Radio Bristol after the match and give an opinion on a game they've not seen but listened to on the radio. "It was definitely a penalty Geoff from what I heard on the radio, stone wall" Comedy gold. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
