They came across like they were already celebrating a win before a ball had even been kicked in their pub yesterday, somehow I can't see them having the same atmosphere on Tuedsay.
I think it's because they give it all this more than most fans going into a match... then completely fail to deliver. Like yesterday for example, local newspaper articles banging on about us being the McFranchise, promises of a 'hostile atmosphere' and some of the most enthusiastic outpourings...
Imagine the prospect of all three of you in the same league someday, somehow I think the forum non-City/Rovers/Swindon population would vanish within hours.
Surprised to not hear it today but thinking about it if we could play you every week I think it'd actually be really entertaining. Both games we've had with you have been some our best matches this seasons.
Fans were on top form for a change, we outsung the 'hostile crowd' that was promised...
Because doing my best Uwe Rosler impression, we know how to beat them and thye seem to do the same to us every time. They get forced to come forward in numbers and attack, we run through them and make the situation even worse with each goal. It's like us with Chesterfield, Swindon just aren't...
Surprised you even found anywhere to drink there. Pub next to the ground took nearly half an hour both times to even get served, two drinks wasn't enough for today. :dry:
It's worryingly easy to predict though and an unusual curse of having a game with two sides that play good football in their case. Whenever Swindon have to come onto us and attack in numbers, we always seem to open them up and then counterattack without fail through the gaps (usually on the...
As predicted, Swindon can't beat us. Great match and gives me hope that if this fixture gets repeated at Wembley we might as well consider ourselves a Championship club. Semi final opponent will mean everything now.
That's probably the only consolation I'd take from you winning on Saturday, that at least we get to be neutrals sitting back and watching WWIII kick off between you lot and Bristol City on here.
Much as I usually disapprove of it, this would be one match I'd find thoroughly entertaining if some of our fans let off several pyro right in the middle of Swindon trying to do something to grab the camera's attention.
Us to come back from behind yet again and win 2-3. Should be fun either way but I really can't see this ending in anything but a win for us, you're one of those sides we just don't f*** up against, even last season when we were beyond shit and with half the squad on sick notes we still won at...
Good job our 'marketing' department has been reigned in from last season's madness. We've almost gone a whole season without releasing another 'are you ready?' sort of video again.... :lol:
