Miffy

Were gonna make so much noise, the BBC will go into melt down, televisions will explode and our fishy friends will flap like a skate on a matlow.

Travelling from Hedge End, about 5 miles. I could be me:D

Why? It would mean automatic relegation and leave them potless for their season in the CC. I don't want to see them go bust, just drop to their rightful place in Div 2. This would help them get there.

Skates are a biological hazard.

How huge is huge?

6 so far. (5 wins, 1 defeat)

For me, football is a journey to be enjoyed. We have just re-started our journey in the right direction. I am in no great hurry to get to the PL, I want to enjoy the scenery along the way. JPT Winners (2010) League 1 Champions (2011) Carling Cup Winners (2012) Championship Champions (2013) FA CUP Winners (2014) Qualify for Europe (2015) Whats the hurry?

Does it?

That answers my question.

Are we losing?

I am in the "depend on the circumstances" camp regarding pitch invasions. I felt the one against Sheff Utd when we escape relegation was right. When we were relegated - wrong, away win at MKD - wrong. Home victory against MKD and a passage to Wembley - maybe right? I does act as a bit of an antidote to the sterile environment that modern football is cultivating. Goading away fans from the pitch -stupid and wrong.

Ivan Golac nutting an opposing player (I can't remember who, when or what team) but I really laughed. I was only about 14 though.

About 4 inches in Hedge End and still falling heavily.

Only 12? (I count Dodd & Gorman as one) It felt like more than that!

Does anyone know how many managers (and caretaker managers) we have had in the last decade (since 1st Jan 2000)? A list of them would make interesting reading, but my head hurts too much to try a draw one up.

I had never heard the term Phyrric victory before. Just looked it up, I quite like it. This forum is most educational!

....and I thought there was a stairway to heaven?

Just looked Hartlepool up on the map....flippin heck its a long way, over 300 miles! Well done to everyone who made the trek up there. Rewarded with an excellent result.

I completely agree that the current state of football is unsustainable and will significantly change in the coming years (maybe not 5, probably more like 10 IMO). Link the financial instabilibility with two other topics on this thread (European League and bored mid-table PL fans) and it seems inevitable. It seems likely that we will end up with a two tier system of a European Super League and and English League. It will be interesting whether SKy would be as interested in investing Millions into a 'new' premier league that doesn't have the big 4 or 5 clubs. If not then the landscape of true competition could return. I for one would welcome it.

Do they still burn tar barrels down your way? I've never fully recovered from the experience 15 years ago. It would really add to the excitment of the match though.
