You don't get a point for losing 2-0

Preferred it when they were down by the docks.

Luckily I don't have any shares, so I can't and hopefully their vanity will ultimately drive them to the wall. I can see it being a prolonged process.

But surely there is a shortage of clubs worth buying? I do not understand what the business model would be if UWE is dead. On the footballing side they are a long way behind us and have little chance of approaching anything like our support base - particularly in a city where apathy rules; I am not sure how they start to break even, let alone turn a profit. They are limited in off field activities, although I would have thought revisiting their old student accommodation plans may be a possibility. They may find someone who will invest on an emotional basis, but on a commercial basis? I am not so sure. (Although I might have said the same about Bournemouth...........) They shouldn't go into administration yet as there are a variety of things they can do, but none of them do anything but buy some time. Their best bet, if nothing comes of the appeal (and even if they subsequently got some investment) may be to turn themselves into some kind of part time community super-club.

Their grounds for appeal are that they wear the envied Blue & White quarters, are (with good reason, I may add) called the Pirates, sing a dirge about a suicidal prostitute called Eileen, have the best support in the country and they shouldn't have been relegated anyway because Wycombe cheated.

Didn't they take out the Wonga loan partly to fund the original case? If so they will struggle to refinance that and fund an appeal. One of these days their board will wake up and find they are trading insolvently. They are just digging a deeper & deeper hole for themselves. It is hilarious.

Oh yes, how is your sister?

Jet tries stuff others wouldn't and indeed couldn't, when it doesn't work he looks a dick, but when it does - that is what I pay my entrance money for!!!

Yeah man, they are groovy.

Wallace is a Millwall fan who has done time for football related violence.

He was a pain on here as he couldn't take an opinion different to his own. And god knows what game he is at sometimes, one in his head I think.

You do keep banging on about the Ayling incident, but at one of our corners Smith should clearly have been awarded a penalty. Maybe the ref was evening things up or maybe he just wasn't very good. If the two teams had decided to start niggling against each other I have no confidence that the ref would have been able to control it.

He wasn't that good a ref though. I wouldn't want him for the Swindon game.

Well you are wrong. And I apologise if I was not clear about it.

I am well aware of that. But they did actually play in the same game and so comparing the two players in the same role against the same team was possible. And the ball stuck up front better when Wilbs came on. I would say Wilbs has more to his game than Smith does.

Parked 10mins walk from the ground. Back at the car and on the M1 in no time. It IS a weird place. Everywhere is identical and Swindon fans must get roundabout envy when they visit..............

Yes I probably would, but not at the finish. Overall I thought we looked the more dangerous and accomplished of two very good sides and I was disappointed we didn't win. Little was a little below par, but I thought Bryan had another great game. It was interesting to have Smith and Wilbraham playing in the same game; the ball stuck up front much better once WIlbs came on.

It was right in front of us. No way a penalty. The foul on Smith at the corner was a stonewaller though!

Yes, the singing section was ok on and off, but only really came alive when we scored.

Awful ref. But in the end who cares (apart from Fleetwood )? Well done City. This season isn't doing my blood pressure any good. ...

Doesn't seem very windy now. I was looking forward to a Fielding hat trick and a Freeman goal direct from a corner!

The chances are they are aren't one step away from Wembley..........................

Are we sure he didn't say something about Kent?

I am sure I have read in threads about people doing it quite often. Not sure why it is suddenly an issue.

Yes the ref was very poor, but that doesn't excuse all the chances we squandered. We should have been out of sight by half time and it was the same against Crawley. We have gone completely off the boil up front.
