“Drawn to Success”

Old enough to have sported the HNA tee-shirt ‘back in the day’…we scraped promotion based on draws iirc.

2002 was it?

Which is obviously further forward than we were this time last year.

yes, and?

C’mon Ginge, you can do better than that

I can barely understand a word he says tbh……maybe that’s the players problem too?

Add Portsmouth to the list, even if it took employees not being paid in full, supporters monies, players playing unpaid, latterly an American businessman and some land that Tescos bought. Wednesday will be ok….large and loyal support, lots of up-selling of associated branded goods. For us and for ma...

AthleticoSpizz ^What’s Martin Allen up to these days?^

He's a referee assessor. No really, he is.

Lighthouse Wasn’t sure which cup game to attend. Decided on Farnham v Sutton. .

sounded great and a biggy for Farnham, any idea of the attendance figures Lighthouse?

...don't want to steal Lh's thunder but Farnham's TwiX states a record 2,300 sellout.

thanx

Wasn’t sure which cup game to attend. Decided on Farnham v Sutton. Apart from about 20 minutes before half time it was a terrific game. Farnham will feel gutted about missing glorious chances at 1-0 and 2-1 and conceding at the death. Sutton looked poor defensively and Farnham will be at the top en...

Wareham bang-on script

Once were Biscuitmen

RG30 Sheffield United for me. The matches between 2002-2007 were box office stuff.

Yes the one where their sub was almost immediately sent off still amuses me.

Keith Gillespie after 0 seconds of match-play participation…still a Prem record I believe….been done to death here…..and rightfully so

‘Tips hat’ to the Wet Sham and Sheff U coming togethers. For me Derby feature quite highly (for good and bad reasons) that away game when we “weren’t worthy” of playing on their hallowed ground…..the 2006 5-0 pummelling we gave them pre-champion confirmation celebrations….another thrashing dished ou...

Louisiana Day?…meh

106 Day could be a decent thing……half-time parade of the squad, but probably won’t amount to much in reality….bring them on as subs in the third minute…..show the kids how it’s done etc etc

Shit, I didn't realise we played last night until I noticed this thread had got to 4 pages. Up for the cup, I guess. pLOLastic ( :wink: ) (Happy to agree with Clyde here) Write this cup off as a non-entity by all means, but nearly 9k at Cardiff didn’t last night. Didn’t Sunderland face Portsmouth i...

Based on how highly my ST ‘Skate’ work colleagues rated him and what they told me of his qualities and capabilities, I agree with you here Hound.
Either start him, or at least get him on sooner.

Pezzolano sacked by Watford ( )
7 points from their last three games

Clyde1998 Feels like it’s going to be a bigger crowd than last week, although that’s not a high bar to clear.

Winston Biscuit Rangers pick up an important point against Falkirk in a relegation 6 pointer

….and as sure as night meets day, the ‘Champions elect’ scab a win with a penalty and an injury time goal
