Slightly off topic but the promotion chase in League Two is very interesting - all the automatic spots have been decided but everyone from fourth down to 14th still in with a shout of a playoff place.

Hollow head - five successive defeats and not yet mathematically safe. Wouldn't that be something...

I was so nervous during the game, removed myself from her as I just didn't know what to do with myself. 

I hope that's a typo.

Apologies if I missed this earlier in the thread but how many did we take up there today?

An attendance of 14,000 reflects pretty badly on Blackburn - I know they are protesting their owners but this was a huge game for them.

Ipswich all over Newcastle.

Blackburn With Darwen - it's life, Jim, but not as we know it.

It was hilarious. I bet St Andrews is a toxic place to be. 

After the delight Bluenoses took in Villa's demise last season Villa fans will be looking forward to the Second City Derby on St George's Day. 

Will be a very tense affair - policed of course with great humour and the laid back attitude synonymous with West Midlands' finest...

Toon losing - get in. "We're a big club!" 

W***ers.

We're coming to your place a week next Saturday to do Blackburn a favour 

We like confirming our Championship status against your.

Well done City, great way to bounce back from a couple of abject defeats.

Bristol Derby in the second tier next season?!?!

Joking aside, we won't go up and it looks like you may just survive. Disagree about the comments that DC has taken us as far as he can, he's the man to keep taking the club forward and he has a very bright future as a manager. 

If we have a Bristol Derby in the Championship next season then all things considered I won't complain (much). You lot have annoying knack of rallying to reach the playoffs against the odds (07 springs to mind!)

That was before the competition was bastardised. Fair play to our city rivals and the fans of other clubs. There is absolutely no comparable here to our turnouts before the competition got ruined - indeed I'd go as far to say the lower the turnout the even more impressive. 

Totally - need to see the bigger picture here. This competition makes a mockery of the game. 

And Leicester fans thought it couldn't get any better than winning the Prem...

What an absolute pile of festering nonsense...

Must be strange your team playing a game against u23 team . Fair shout to fans across the country for boycotting it . 1400 in attendance not much of a boycott. 

Oh, I think the boycott has worked and a good thing too...

461 at Wimbledon
392 at Fleetwood
950 at Chesterfield

These are paltry attendances and send out a strong message - hopefully the EFL will have a long, hard think before they further try to wreck the integrity of the pyramid.

EDIT: Swansea's starting XI had squad numbers which added up to 340 more than the total attendance for their game at Wimbledon.

For those who are still chewing their nails, the BBC website began the Hillsborough match report thus: "MK Dons' relegation was all but sealed..."

Oh, and here's a useful analogy to our situation - Manchester City could still win the Prem if they win all of their games and Leicester lose all of theirs. Anybody see that as even a remote possibility?

Staying up.

Hugely disappointing and a lot of work needs to be done if we are to cut the mustard at this level long-term but MK Dons haven't a prayer of catching us now.

Too early for Xmas Carols?

Foo-King Useless last lost out on the Feast of Steven-age.

No Pisspot Trophy for the Gas this year. 

They must be concentrating on...

is there a competition they're still in?

BBC Sports Personality Team of the Year next month...

Bernie Bresslaw as Rovers, because they're absolutely MASSIVE.

Thinking about it, the threat of administration follows Dopey around

Good point. once he's finished with Rovers, a move to Swindon would do very nicely. Then Cardiff and Plymouth.

I hear Salisbury tourist board is worried about a drop in tourism from thick silly sad sags

Boycott merely temporary. They'll be back (in their "tens of thousands", obviously) soon enough when Rovers go belly up and have to start from scratch in the Wessex League like Salisbury did this summer.

Ben Cuthbertson I wonder who the CEO of Sainsburys supports? City? Wycombe?

I wish their FB page would update with the result, I was going to give it a like, cheer 'em up a bit.

Meantime, we'll have to do with this:

Chris Kelly Believe gasheads. Believe that tomorrow truth and justice will be in our favour. In god we trust. Forever gas.

Yes, I've trawled through it once or twice. Sturgeon did OK last night...
