I kinda view American owners with some level of suspicion. I can't think of one that's been good for any club, although most are only interested in the Hollywood end of the pyramid. The fact that Pompey are in the depths might flush this guy out as ambitious. Portsmouth is a wonderful city and...
What Carlisle need, to kick start their spluttering campaign, is a fixture against that most grateful of Samaritans, Mansfield Town.
Oh wait, hope is just around the corner our Cumbrian friends!
Plymouth deserved the win because they weathered the storm out until we simply ran out of ideas. Our powder puff forward play has ensured that we'll probably end the season as mid-table rather than as a play off hopeful.
Argyle will go up and I'm glad of it, because not only are we regularly...
Adams clearly is a massive whelmper though. Quite frankly we smashed the living bejesus out of you in that first half, creating numerous chances where the Janners looked a sorry lot. The only reason that it wasn't an embarrassment is because we couldn't hit the walls of Jericho with a double...
We played very well today. Streets ahead in the first half and should have been out of sight. However, we have the cutting edge of a foam mallet and blew our chances (which are also blowing our weak play off aspirations too).
Plymouth did what the better sides do, year on year, when they play...
We've struggled for years because our shirts clash with pulled down buildings, several decimated industries, unemployment, slate grey skies and now a ridiculously loud and oversized old unwanted scoreboard!
When will we ever catch a break? Bah!
Probably at least 4-0 Stags, with the last twenty minutes involving several tedious rounds of Olé, Olé, Olé, whilst we all chuckle and dream about having a pint of brown ale with our chippy tea.
It was a very disappointing spectacle and we seem to have lost any of the swagger and confidence that had been built up. Mentally we seem a fragile bunch. Though we shaded the game and probably deserved the points for our huffing and puffing.
Newport showed plenty of fight and were very...
From behind the goal of the away end it was almost impossible to know whether the chances at the other end of the field were decent or not. We certainly shaded the first half, but Grimsby were easily the better side over the ninety.
You're going to have a blip though; Donny and Carlisle have had theirs too. You've a nice points gap to fourth and nobody has the consistency that the top 3 have had to suggest that someone will emerge from the pack. You're just having a bout of pre-promotion anxiety that only clubs in your...
I prefer that to be fair. I think we've just had a month of being flat track bullies, who aren't actually all that. If we finish in the top seven then we'll have earned it and are better than this fan actually reckons we are.
Like I've just commented on another thread, Donny and Plymouth are home and hosed; if Carlisle, Luton and Pompey don't take third and the play off then they'll never go up. The rest of the division really is that average.
I thought it was a very average looking team beating a very poor looking team. A poor advert for a decent crowd. The sort of performance from us that would have had the usual suspects going to town on the likes of Adam Murray and Paul Cox and their managerial abilities.
There's no way that this...
Everybody associated with Mansfield Town ought to be embarrassed tonight. The team were dreadful - a shadow of the side that they have been and not nearly as good as 'jumping the gun' fans have suggested.
The manager has to have a long look at himself. Even the Grimsby press suggested to give...
My mates sister was a teacher at a Comp in Grimsby. Rutland Street was indeed a shit-tip (she lived in a flat in the newer block down one end) however, she'd previously lived in a Salford high rise, so Rutland St was up town living.
As for JD, yep, we ended up there whenever refused on the...
