Not football related but I've just read on Owlstalk we're having a minutes silence for Adam Johnson, I didn't know who he was, or what happened, so looked him up.
Horrified to read what happened to him at the Ice Hockey last Night.
RIP Adam.
Being Banned from Hillsborough is a Blessing!!
Seriously, although it should never have happened nearly £30k as been raised now, something good as come out of Bellend's actions.
Great response BUT we shouldn't have to be doing this, just when I thought we'd reached rock bottom, these 2 come along and drag us down further.
Thoughts are with the Lowery Family.
That being our best Performance so far, (which I agree with) shows just how low the Bar has been set.
It's going to be a long season for both Clubs, surprised how bad Boro were (although improved vastly in the 2nd half) I still think they've more chance of staying up than us.
Plymouth away
They're great at home and easily beat twice us twice down there last season.
They're coming off the back of a great Comeback win, we're coming off the back of an awful performance and home defeat in a South Yorkshire Derby.
Not sure how the Bookies have us down as favourites...
We got completely dominated in every department from 1st Minute until the last.

We were awful but that's probably taking away from their Performance.
Well played Barnsley.
Great News
I'll alway have a soft spot for the Abbey.
It was my 1st ever away match, back in 1983 in the FA Cup we won 2-1 and went onto reach the Semi Final.
2nd Visit 1993 FA Cup we won 2-1 again but improved one and went onto the reach the Final.
On the basis of continued improvement, I don't...
Expecting a tough test from our close neighbours.
Hopefully it'll be a good game, played in a decent atmosphere.
If we play to our capabilities and can stop crosses going in down our left hand side or properly defend the crosses, we should be strong enough for 3 pts.
Never too Confident with...
Hearing Barnsley have sold just over 2.5k.
EDIT - Just seen above so it's true.
Surprised at that, thought they'd have brought more with the relatively "cheap price" and their hatred of us.
From memory they always used to bring plenty prior to Chansiri's ridiculous prices for these type of matches.
None of us are too Big for League 1, that's why we're all here. (Yes, I know you don't mean it literally)
All those named have Potential to go much higher and historically have been, but that means nothing Now.
I guarantee more than one of these Clubs will come a cropper against one of the...
Around 1200 MK tickets left.
They'll all go Tomorrow when they reach General Sale, rumours of another batch to follow, can't see it Personally.
