Can see where the FCUM fans are at, but surely anything but a full withdrawal from the competition is just pointless posturing. All or nothing.

Either those three or my missus would kill me. We've done a Cup semi final and it's a far less lethal proposition.

Yet after four schoolyard standard replies still no reasons why Paul Cook should waste his thoughts on Mansfield Town...

Thought I'd visit this thread for obvious reasons, but I'm left a little bewildered by it. Firstly, why would Cook want to get one over Mansfield? He beat them with a third team on his way to a Wembley final and saw them as just another outfit that finished below his own when winning the...

Blimey - that's one random thread title. So Scunthorpe. In a weekend of local derbies I guess this kinda counts but, well, nah. Scunny have always been one of those outfits that don't elicit any real emotion; we win some, they win some, no hoolie-thuggery to speak of...it's all pretty tame...

Well Saunders' gamble seems to've paid off. A side cobbled together from crocks, kids from Ilkeston Town and Wednesday's development squad (honestly, it's true!), others considered L2 standard at best and with a proven performer benched has bought him a week's grace at least. And who knows...

We're clearly the most charitable outfit in the league. Wigan not living up to their hype? Here's three late goals to kick things off. Colchester struggling? No problem, have another two. Blackpool forgetting what a '1' looks like next to their name on the coupon? Hey presto! And you're...

Respect as always to Keith Hill. He's worked a minor miracle getting a club with Mansfield sized crowds to where they are and pretty much snuffed us out yesterday. But Christ it was dull. A terrific save from each 'keeper in each half but other than that I could've stopped in the pub.

I was referring to the initial tackle which was weak from our bloke. Having now seen the goal from another angle you're right, though - excellent one-two.

Two ordinary sides, I thought. We enjoyed possession but lacked the quality to capitalise whilst gifting two soft goals. Credit for the finishes, mind. Our right back Talbot guilty for the first and that seemed to effect him for the rest of the game. Saunders is relying on last season's squad...

'We're gonna lose...no, we're gonna lose...but we're shit...yeah, but we're shitter...our fans aren't bothered...hey, our's are less bothered...' Weird stuff. Me? Always enjoy my days out in Sheff and, whisper it quietly, we do seem to be some sort of bogey side for under-pressure United...

So England well and truly roger the much-fancied Aussies then Tairn deliver an unexpected shafting of their own. Who'd 'a' thought it? Far more direct than under Cook but not in a 'hoofball' kinda way. Infact the second half performance made Barnsley look ponderous and uncertain. Still need...

Have PNE lost any loanees for the play offs? Either way I thought them a strong side at the Proact, both physically and technically. What impact grabbing third from the jaws of automatic will have we can only guess. Allied to their record of choking, of course. Walsall showed us the way in the...

If the predicted play off total is accurate, we're sound. Chesterfield FC will get sixty nine points.

Check out this lot! http://www.chesterfield-fc.co.uk/global/contact.aspx Chiefs and Indians? Some would have us believe >adopts Kenneth Williams 'Carry On Doctor' style posture< they're all doing a magnificent job, we're lucky to have such talent at the Club and their only motivation is a...

In 1990 Chesterfield sneaked into the final fourth division play off spot on the last day via goal difference. Then hammered a Stockport side who'd finished a shit load of points above us. John Beck's Cambridge beat us at Wembley thanks to a single Dion Dublin header (from a corner that...

Don't wanna pre-empt owt, but what's gone so wrong at Yeovil? A tidy little club who, you'd have thought, would've accepted their season in the second tier as a one-off and used the rewards reaped to stabilise in the longer term. Yet they're looking pretty nailed-on for a second successive...

The travelling Saddlers were the most entertaining part of the afternoon. Were you playing Chesterfield or Wolves, though? I get the local thing, but do their fans give any kinda shit about Walsall? Honestly? Then what was the stuff about Shrewsbury; Shrewsbury? Really? And the IRA and ISIS...

Us to leapfrog our streaky striped neighbours in the last few minutes of the final game. Be afraid Blunts, be very afraid...

Come on, Saddlers; Bristol are where they are for a reason and two-nil wasn't too bad under the circumstances. Though it's galling to think that all those tens of thousands who suddenly became Walsall fans for a day will crawl back into the woodwork (aka Molineux, The Hawthorns, Villa Park or...
