Haha! Well, at least you're honest!

What's the problem? Should we not look at the future? Let's scrap the youth team!

Why?

Great example. Must be owners in charge now. But Pompey's still very fresh in the memory. I mean, if you look lower at the likes of Hereford and Stockport and where they are now to where they've been.

Ha! He said it firmly tongue in cheek mate! On another thread the other day someone put up a list of players we'd brought in and why we'd be crap again this season. The reason for Vincelot was "he was relegated last season"!

Rangers went out of business and dropped 4 divisions. I get what you're saying, but that is unbelievable. It's the equivalent of say Liverpool being in League 2 next season.

Loads of research gone in to that!

You get we're in league 1, right? Not many down here sign stars.

I'm going to be living in Hong Kong from September, so I signed up to it the other day. Also, someone in Thailand talk to me! I'll be in Chiang Mai for the Burton match on September 6th - any advice on somewhere that will definitely play it?

They played Nuneaton last night, yeah? Could be journo's putting 2+2 together there and coming up with 5? Also, Kieran Crowley's the clubs press officer (I think). He does all the matches (keeps you up to date on "the wall" etc).

How the...

No. These games don't count in the league!

Aye, that's the pre-season I was on about earlier in the thread. I noticed Kieran Crowley put it on Twitter earlier too.

They go quite often... So I haven't got that one up my sleeve!

I get what you mean, but it really doesn't affect me like that. It's more when I ask my mates who they've got this weekend and it's Utd, arsenal or Chelsea and then they ask me the same and I reply... Rochdale!

Did you not know we were in league 1?!

Like I said, if you don't want to go then fair enough. But don't come on here and say it's because it's not exciting enough. THAT'S what I couldn't give a crap about. And no, I'm not turning this into a SISU thing, so I'll stop you there.

But that's exactly what it's for. Players know the difference between a competitive game and a match where they are trying to implement new tactics/formations/players etc. To add to that, I'd much rather pre-season went badly in terms of mistakes in matches as those mistakes can then be...

Does anyone actually think players lose confidence from friendlies?

What's the point in debating that when its been said we're not even after McLeod? He's basically saying he's not excited enough so bugger it. What's the point in saying it? I couldn't give a crap, and I'm pretty sure most others couldn't give a crap.
