    Team for Saturday

    Did Clingan run over your dog or something? This nastiness towards him is pathetic. An achilles injury is nasty.

    Late kick off

    Phew. For a minute then I thought you were suggesting we try to get the KO delayed on Saturday... Or shall we save that up for next time it can affect Sunderland in any way... Might be a while but, hey, what's 35 years in the bearing of grudges?

    Dream on happy Hammers. No favours done for us at Bristol so nah, nah...nah, nah, nah.

    have you got your season ticket yet?

    If there is no income the club would fold in the summer. Is that what you want? If all those who say they love the club, if all those who travelled to Old Trafford in 2007, if all those at the Chelsea game ... bought a season ticket...maybe we could persuade prospective takeover buyers that the...

    John Clarke OBEse what the fuck are you?

    I stayed and clapped the players because I think they have been shafted by SISU too. Star players sold and not replaced, too few senior players, teenagers still wet behind the ears. Unlike others I think they performed poorly not because they don't care but because they are bruised, beaten and...

    Fisher's comments on CW yesterday

    Without wishing to credit or believe a word Fisher is saying we may be better off with fewer kids but a bigger squad. Pains me to say it but will Bigi, Christie etc cut it in Div 3? We may have to sacrifice one or two to bring in a few experienced scrappers in the mould of Wood, Hermann and...

    So why is there no new kit for next season?

    That shirt would be more likely to stop me going up than the team's performance. It is a 1960s kids T shirt. Grown men should be laughed at if they wore it. A cyclist's shirt, at best.

    So why is there no new kit for next season?

    This is not a very good wind up. Nobody will take this seriously. That's a photoshop monstrosity. One obvious mistake you made is that the badge reverts to the previous one next season.

    Sunderland

    Now you're being daft. I think they had telephones and radios in 1977 and would have been kept informed of the score from Sunderland. You may have overlooked that Coventry were 2 nil up and trying to win the game. Bristol City came back strong and both teams tried to win the game until the final...

    Sunderland

    Holding a grudge for 35 years is understandable if there had been any cheating. At the worst there was a bit of gamesmanship. I was there in 1977. Simple facts 1) Sunderland would have stayed up if they had got a result at Goodison 2) No cheating took place. 2 teams cannot be made to play to...

    Keogh speaks...

    Agree he is player of the year but awful today and form on the slide for the previous 4 or 5 games.

    Keogh had a shocker today, embarrassed for him and his mistake for the penalty was a disaster. Open your eyes. He is a great bloke, an honest trier but a limited player. Our player of the season by a mile... But not today.

    Keogh speaks...

    Good lad but awful today and vastly overrated by our fans who love blood, sweat and tears. Not knocking him but the hero worship is tad embarrassing. Grown men chanting his name when he was sent off for a disastrous cock up that cost us any chance today. I like him but remain bemused by the fan...

    Do the players really care??????????

    Our players care as much as any other team's. They are 1) running on empty...emotionally and physically shattered, many have been playing with injuries. 2) stretched to the limits of their ability... Few are good enough for this division...the kids are not ready and the experienced players are...

    Last two games I want to see the youngsters.

    Sick and tired of people blaming the players, especially Clingan, who has been harshly criticised. 1) the squad is too small 2) there are not enough experienced players 3) the kids are very raw and not (yet) good enough. 4) our strikers are not goalscorers. These are facts. The squad, as a...

    It could have been different ?

    Agree. The criticism of Clingan has both baffled and angered me this season. Way too much has been expected of him. I, for one, think he has had lots of good games and few poor ones. I watch him and don't see what people want from him. Consider the facts: He has been surrounded by kids He has...

    what will Saturday bring

    Block 23, row AA, seat 20 will shout vile abuse at every player from 3 until 5. We have such lovely fans

    Guess the attendance - Milwall+Doncaster

    So we agree then? Midlanders, in my experience are moaners. That's not the same as apathetic, BTW. I know for a fact that the opportunity to moan will be welcomed by some. Lots of posters on gmk are gloating already. It doesn't mean they are not disappointed. Quite the reverse. They just have an...

    Guess the attendance - Milwall+Doncaster

    I didn't. I said they love to moan. You should sit in block 23, some start during the warm up. One guy screams abuse at Clingan when McSheff gives the ball away. He spent one game slagging off Gray all second half when he'd been subbed at half time. I could go on. Spoils the enjoyment of many...
