GasGoesMarchingIn would just like to point out that this was a massive game for us, massive. We may have taken more to London than they average at home but something something something Chelsea Carabao Cup, 4,000 on a playschool night. So that’s us put firmly back in our box.

Well that were bloody lovely. While the kids were all tearing into their presents (We do it a day late in my house) the only gift I wanted was three points. Nice to see Watford were in a festive mood giving us an own goal. That’s the best all-round performance I’ve see from us since at least WBA in the cup last year. Funny how things change, when I looked at our festive fixture list after that frustrating night at Ewood, I didn’t see us picking up a point in our next three games. OTIB

Forest don’t care about Notts though, it’s Derby they hate.

Sure Swindon fans will love that given events of a few years ago. But FAMILY CLUB!

City win and Scum lose - Merry Xmas everyone!

They all went impressively quick. But just wait til you see how many Matty Taylor’s Snake Army are taking up to Bolton tomorrow! Toughsheet’eads.

He really is. You can almost see the confidence leaving his body after that sloppy error for the goal. infuriating as we had made a pretty decent start to this game.

8,924 - that’s a bumper allocation, is that more than we got at Man City for the semi-final. In fact, is that the biggest official allocation we’ve ever received, aside from Wembley or Mansfield on last day of 2013-14 season? Can't wait for GashGoRunningAway piping up on W Ham forum to inform them they took 4,500 to Stamford Bridge and could have easily trebled that if it wasn’t for Mercury being in Retrograde.

I think we will sell out our allocation - chances to go to the home of a European trophy holder don’t come around very often, and the way things are going, there’s zero chance the likelihood of doing so is going to increase any time in the near future.

Oh dear, does that defeat put an end to the turd gobblers’ hopes of grossly inflating their following at Wembley for another campaign? In other news, I noticed today a Scum fan who has our rainbow badge as his profile pic on social media, the insinuation being of course that “gay” remains some sort of deeply wounding insult in 2023. Or perhaps I’m doing him a disservice and he was “converted” by his cellmate, as this individual spent a spell inside for his antics with dA gA sHIT sQUAD.

Still in business apparently!

Jon Lansdown is an arrogant, deluded Bellend who thinks he’s always right when all the evidence points exactly in the opposite direction.

Worst Tom Robinson Band Song ever…

We three Gas v Orient are, Stuck behind a ruddy pillar, Gone is Barton, Sheedhead Martin And an own goal most bizarre.

Yep, Barnsley S. Yorks. Spent two years there as a student.

Elsewhere, Rovrum 3-0 down at HT. The two South Yorkshire clubs look doomed already.

Sunderland my favourite. Great arena, great fans who are passionate yet welcoming in my experience. Also enjoy Exeter although never been there with City. Worst - Wigan. Soulless arena and their new-found wealth and comparative success had attracted more than their fair share of numbskulls bent on aggro by the final day of the 2000-2001 season and walking back to the train station from the stadium was a bit of a run the gauntlet job.

Oh God, that self-praise over their turnout at Reading was truly nauseating, conveniently burying the fact that for their previous fixture less than 4000 of their mutants could be bothered to show up for a home game. No wonder they fixate on away followings so much.

Last time they got 14,000+ at a guess would probably be the late 1970s.

Once again, City women draw a crowd that the Gas scum could only dream of.

The fact they thought they had salvaged a point through turncoat Martin makes it that much funnier. Agent Hunt the difference against the Gas Hunts!

No monopoly square, but the Scum do have their own version of Cluedo. Spoiler alert: It was Miss Scarlett, in the Mansfield End with the tent spike.

Spot on. We inevitably get sucked in to the “Will he / won’t he be a success?” debate but it is incredibly infuriating we even find ourselves in this position. Just goes back to the point that the Lansdowns keep making hiring and firing decisions that appear to show a laughable lack of judgement, but somehow those they bring in always carry the can while they have zero accountability and keep on making these ropey decisions with impunity. If Manning turns out to be another Dean H their position would be untenable considering there was next to no serious clamour for Nige to fall on his proverbial sword.
