I think a lot of us thought that goal that wasn’t against Blackpool was going to end up costing us. Well, that’s not looking like it’s going to matter now. Right, that’s the positives out of the way …

Was this game another “free hit”? Cheers Deano.

Thinking about players who played for both clubs: Marcus Stewart Nahki Wells Andy May Phil Jevons Andy King Junior Bent Kasey Palmer That’s all I can think of so far … anymore? I wasn’t aware Marcus had played for City, thought it was just Rovers? He went there later in his career to a fanfare of “he’s coming home”, “welcome to Bristol” and he supported them as a lad. Didn’t really work out unfortunately and think he went to Yeovil after a year or two.

Any significance in the fact that Town have amended their badge in both their Twitter & Facebook pages? It looks like we've sold the dog. View AttachmentThe terrier spirit has certainly disappeared this season.

Welcome old bean, Magic Rock is great or The Sportsman near the station. I work in Bristol, great city, just got home. Hoping we stay up as I always enjoy a trip to Ashton Gate, usually with a few colleagues. The Memorial and Whaddon Road won’t be the same. Had the pleasure of chatting with Scott Murray briefly last season - top bloke!

I remember when we treated Swansea like prime era Barcelona at home and some of the Kool Aid drinkers on here celebrated the 0-0 draw. Fucking idiots 😂 “Kool Aid drinkers” is brilliant! 👏🏻

I’m on a train to London as I’d arranged to meet a mate. Totally forgotten about the league cup final, plus it’s Spurs v Chelsea. I’m expecting my arrival to be something akin to how my Grandad described being in the second arriving at Arromanches! At least you’ll have avoided the Newcastle trains, if you went from Leeds or Wakefield? (well, avoid the majority of ‘em) It’s like that film Gremlins. They just keep multiplying out of nowhere when there’s alcohol involved!

Because DH approached him. Everyone knew or suspected he didn’t have the money to run a Championship football club (and that’s before Covid hit his businesses), but he was a convenient stooge for Hoyle to get money out of the club as it wasn’t worth what he wanted had he just tried to sell it. PH isn’t blameless, but he should never have had the chance to run the club in the first place. Where was the due diligence? Just an inconvenience. Why didn't Hodgkinson say no? If I sell you a car that you can't afford to run, is that my fault or is it your fault for knowing in the first place that you haven't got the money? If you’re claiming to be the custodian of the car and want to ensure it’s run properly in future, then yes you have to take part of the blame.

I’m just hoping Burnley aren’t mathematically promoted or champions by the time they play our fellow strugglers otherwise they might be “on the beach”.

Possibly because, after all his businesses collapsed, he is "potless"? Strange how he comes out of this with no abuse directed at him... Because DH approached him.

Hoyle is the “custodian of the club” in his words. We’re now headed to League 1 owing him £50m. He refused to sell last year in case we went up, but refused to back the manager, sold the best players and didn’t fund replacements. This wasn’t mentioned to the 16,000 season ticket holders, of course. His previous deal was to give the club to someone without the money to run the club as long as he got all the money from player sales and parachute payments. Cheers Deano, what a hero!

I don’t mind MacAnthony as he has since said that basically he was pissed and regretted that and apologised. Both he and Barry Fry have been very complimentary about our club. He actually talks a bit of sense. The t-shirts probably would have wound us up if it was the other way round too. Fair enough. Didn't know he's since apologised. Still dislike Peterborough though. And seeing them go down was enjoyable if only because it pissed off Adrian Durham. Agreed. Hate them with a passion, but more for 1992 than Daragh. And Durham is obviously an absolute bellend!

Our situation was completely different though . It resulted in Peterborough getting relegated , which was quite acceptable.. Definitely. Especially after Darragh MacAnthony's disrespectful remarks about us after they beat us in the League One play-off final a few years before.

It was a good job Barnsley were so thick that they were happy to go along with playing out a draw, which suited Town, not seeming to realise a late Peterborough goal would have sent them down! 😂

There is one positive. We would have been absolutely walloped today had Fotheringham still been in charge which wouldn’t have made our goal difference look very pretty. Are you missing a winking emoji? We did get absolutely walloped, so assuming you’re being sarcastic.

The trouble with Warnock signing players is he can turn a rough diamond into a good footballer, but not every manager can. Bullock was great for Town (admittedly under Horton too for a time), but not for anyone else.

It’s going to be crucial in the run-in. The home games and the six-pointer at Cardiff are our best chances of points after disastrous results against fellow strugglers in the last month. Coventry and Bristol City the next two at home, like Birmingham comfortably mid-table probably not much to play for, are huge. After that, Norwich, Middlesbrough, Blackburn and Sheffield United are trickier before Reading on the last day with hopefully nothing to play for. Burnley, West Brom, Millwall, Watford, Swansea, Sunderland away aren’t going to be easy.

Cardiff at home to Reading tonight. That’s fairly winnable, but hopefully not. If they lose, they’re 4 points ahead but we’ve two games in hand. Looking at the table, there’s not many teams we can finish ahead of now. At my most ludicrously wildly optimistic, and assuming Warnock is some sort of genius, I can only see us getting 45 points max.

Said in his press conference: "I've seen the players as a priority. I said to them I was sorry I couldn't be with them last night but I was at a jazz club in New York and it was a better evening." 😆 I fuckin' hate jazz, but I would have rather been there too. The only genre of music where those on stage are having a far better time than those in the audience!

Simply recreate the day by burning £200 and getting the family to throw punches and bottles at you whilst calling you a fackin caaannntt! Watch the goals on Soccer Saturday and feel miserable.
