It’s biblical level rain here. Just got a lift home and not seen so much flooding on the roads for years. I think it is worse than last year’s Bolton game with the comedy swimming goal. I very much doubt any side in league one has better drainage, but even ours won’t take it if does not stop...
100 per cent agree. yes geography is a typically a core part, but the fans are also core to this. I suspect you would struggle to persuade Palace and Brighton fans they do not have a derby/intense rivalry.

I am not trying to see anything. I deliberately couched my question in neutral terms to ask for your insight. It is possible that he is trying to do both, that he has a long held hatred from Dewsnip and that at the same time he is trying to put Argo off their stride.
Gonna be a testing day or two for us. We are either going to lose another manager, or he will be committed for the rest of the season until Everton come calling.
