Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan

I don’t think I remember Tomlins early chance but I do remember squirming whenever Glenn Murray and whoever else was up front with him was attacking our end. Ran us ragged in that first half. I think we were above them in the league going into that game but we were only a few weeks away from that 10 game (?) run of defeats that firmly dropped us in the shit.

Yeah 2-0 Crawley was Bonfire Night 2013. That result was a bit of an upset as well, only our second win of the season. **** me 2013 was shit.

The game that O Donnell got chipped from the half way line Brighton were by far the better side in the first half, looked dangerous every time they attacked. 2nd half they just sat back and just mopped up every attack we made. I wasn’t shocked to see them go up that season.

I can’t even remember what I was doing last night let alone how many we took to Millwall 3 years ago I think the original comparison on last years game was fine, I’m reasonably sure we had a train to get us back to Bristol, I was just pointing out it wasn’t before Christmas.

Agree.

Between Christmas and New Year, think it was a Thursday night? Probably not, especially on New Years Day with 9k going back up to London next weekend. Correct, Chipping Sodbury tunnel is flooded. BTM services unaffected.

Best thread of the year and it’s arrived on 30th December.

Lost against Forest 1st game, beat Palace 4-2 midweek when Baldock signed, beat Cardiff the following Saturday lunchtime to take us top of the table for about an hour. Lost to Barnsley the following match. The rest of the season was just dogshit and yes, did include Blackburn beating us at home.

I do like Vicarage Road, smart looking stadium.

On the night of their hilarious attempt to sign Clarke-Harris, wasn’t he the guy who laughed at a fake account in his name that had posted that the deal had fallen through….10 minutes before realising the fake account knew more than he did?

I thought that, but they’ve obviously got their info from the Premier League website that says he started at Swindon and moved to us.

Thought I recognised him from somewhere. “Has anyone ever told you that you are a disgusting, pus filled buboe who has all the wit, charm and self possession of an Alsatian dog after a head swap operation”

But only managed 400 to Fleetwood on a Bank Holiday Monday earlier this year. Presumably the other 10k were down the road riding donkeys on the beach.

Wouldn’t be the last time we ruined their Christmas. I arrived, pissed, just in time to see the net bulge in front of the Atyeo when one of their donkeys scored, 3 goals in the second half put it to bed and even though one of them hoofed the ball into the net we never really looked in danger. Their fans were silent as per usual. Went back into town afterwards to get even more leathered.

Yes, Lukaku came on as well.

You could point out that in the grand scheme of things, taking a few more to a closer away game on a Tuesday doesn’t trump the fact that we’re averaging 1800 away this season whilst they are on around 1100.

I know

Totally agree. Like most I’m grateful to Nigel and appreciate the hard work he did here under difficult circumstances but it’s really important to support the team during a game. NP won’t hear any songs about him but Manning will and I don’t see how that will help us get the results we all want.

I’d swap the word ‘shame’ with the word ‘disgrace’. After all the money LJ pissed down the drain I can understand the hesitation to splash ridiculous amounts of cash but Pearson had earned the right to a decent transfer kitty. A few quality additions after the sale of Alex Scott could’ve made a massive difference to our season.

Which would’ve been a fair assumption based on recent form. Keeping an eye on their in game stats on Bet365 you’d be forgiven for thinking Plymouth were playing Man City if it wasn’t for the scorline. Either way they’re doing really well with their new manager which makes our draw there look a decent result. Hope I’m wrong but my gut feeling is that they’ll be above us by New Year’s Day which is bizarre considering how far behind us they were a few weeks ago.

Can you put a tenner on us to go down please.

No one’s celebrating you pr1ck. What kind of reaction do you expect exactly? “oh well, another defeat, never mind”.

Really? We were 13 points clear 2 and a half weeks ago. When QPR win tonight we’ll be 5 points clear with over half the season to go. Not good is it?

It’s like when Dougal ‘won’ the rigged charity raffle on Father Ted I bet he didn’t claim it straight away because he was holding the ticket upside down as well. ”Number ELLEEVVEN” Anyway, that’s his wages paid for the week.
