I hate football. I've been flying high since Tuesday night but after yesterday I will be thoroughly pissed off for a fortnight. Expectation levels are to blame.

Cruel sometimes isn't it.

'remember where we've come from' is a line spun by twats who feel they are superior to other fans

Was about to say that in a different format, its a statement that the fans are not expecting success, that they are rooted in the past and history of the club and appreciate everything, these fans are still struggling with the idea that we've changed and the concept that winning & success is what our owners, management and ourselves should be expecting of our team.

To make you feel better, my Sunday league team won 4-1 against the team just ahead of us in the league table today, despite their average ge being about 15 years lower that our. We're now in second, three points behind the leaders, but with a game in hand.

I think we are the best team in the league in the last 5 years, no?

2011 - third, but same number of points with Chelsea
2012 - title
2013 - second
2014 - title
2015 - second
2016 - fourth.

The only ones that came a bit close are United.

Thanks Noolie, that was a good effort........but it's a bit like giving a tramp a peanut and thinking he will no longer be hungry.

It did put a big fat smile on my face. Thought it might be contagious.

Well, it did make me chuckle.

But that's remembering it.
Not fucking using it as an argument.

This is it. I love thinking about Gillingham and Blackburn away. Brilliant memories. But Terry Cooke isn't playing for us anymore so we can't keep saying that to defend not winning!

Great points

Drawing at home against poor Boro side would've been disaster in most years during our history. That was absolutely abysmal and ther's no way to sugar coat that.

19 shots 78% possession ok we are wasteful, abysmal is not what I watched some of the football 1st half from Stones starting it was a taste of the future for me it is amazing, without a killer goal granted.
