So i'm very drunk right now,

However i'm on 6 threads out of 6 if we win this!

1-0 town is my prediction!

COYR!

Nice one Suggs, if we win this I might very well get your username tattooed on my arse.

Tight game, either we'll sneak a 1-0 win or it will be 1-1.

Gone for a 3-2 win

Fingers crossed for a good performance.

Port Vale 2-0 Swindon Town.

No doom and gloom... Just can't win 'em all.

I've gone for 2-2.  Complete guesswork, as ever, with us.

a 1 1 draw I think. which would be a useful point to take is into cup week

1-0 Connell.

Would love Connell to grab a couple

Thank fuck for that.

2-0 win, connell to start please.

With the advers wonderful piece about Wes, I think we will go 1-0 down within 2 mins, then come storming back to win 3-1

2-0 win for me. Ritchie and Jervis.

6-0.

Tough game. Would be happy with a draw.

Vale will concede, so I reckon 1-0 to STFC...

Our match preview:

http://thewashbag.com/2011/11/04/match-preview-swindon-at-port-vale/

Got a feeling Magera will start today, therefore he is going to score a hat trick.

Three-nil Town, no problem.

 Season defining game....always a difficult place to go, a positive result and it's onwards and upwards, a loss, and we're back to square one.

 Have we enough collective mental strength?  Will di Canio see fire in the eyes, or glazed, blood shot vagueness?

 

2-1 defeat.

0-4 to the mighty reds

COYR

2-1 Town, Keroooosh and Ferry to score

400 odd town fans

Reckon a 1-1 draw.

Tough game and our record at Vale Park isnt great either. Im calling a draw witu both sides recent form

I'd be happy with a draw.

After last weeks lack of goals I hope we start firing again.  Tight game but a 1-0 Swindon win.  COYR

Draw would be a good result.

1-1.

Need to win this if we're serious about automatic promotion.

Starting to drift behind the top 3 a little.

2-1 win

If we dont win today we'll struggle to get back in the play offs for another month.

Swindon Town: Foderingham; Caddis (capt), Flint, McCormack, Ridehalgh; Ritchie, Smith, Ferry, Gabilondo; Magera, Jervis


From twitter.

Ooh, Gabilondo returns from the dead.

I like that team.

Ritchie, Smith, Ferry & Gabilondo was my regular midfied in championship winning team on FM, so I'm happy with that.

Magera will come good. Just gotta get him fit.

Strange that Gabilondo and Magera start having not featured at all in recent weeks?  With Jervis and Magera up front, it could well be long ball tactics?

Can't see us getting more than a point at best and think we may concede today.  

If I'm proved wrong, I'm with Reg on it possibly being a defining point.  We could also do with those above dropping points.

3 strikers on the bench.

Devera, Risser, Montano, Kerrouche, Connell.

I'd say with Gabilondo instead of De Vita, it'll be get the ball out wide and get crosses in the box.

and no keeper

We'll get caught out soon.

I like it too, apart from Magera. Hope Gabilondo does well and is still about for my next trip up

Like the sound of the team, Magera will come good and when I've seen Gabilondo hes played well, going for 1-0.

Good to hear Simon Cox gets a start today for West Brom. Is it his first Premier league start?

You do realise it's Port Vale we're playing, Not Arsenal at The Emirates?  :hmmm:

Radio Swindon pointing out that the pitch at Vale Park is very wide, so playing two wingers makes sense really.

Di Canio has a scarf on! how long till the board cash in on the "Di Canio scarf"

Hmmm commentary not working on player for me.

Is player fucked for anyone else?

Working for me.

Me too

Me too. Connell must be kicking himself.

He would only miss...bdum tish  :doh:

Me too, but annoying key tapping has been in the background for last few commentaries

Mine's working now. Weird.

Hereford 1 Crawley 0

I was talking about Connell, not Magera  :D

That's the live text bit. You can mute the sound at the bottom of the box.

Gabilondo has started brightly it seems

Oooh, working now.

Oh my   :-[ Thanks Samdy

Don't worry, you're not an idiot. Took me ages to realise what it was.

Smith miskicks a clearance and vale shoot just wide

Megera out jumped by a smaller player.

Ritchie has done that for the past 2 games.

Lead boots

Ricky Shakes scores for Ebbsfleet Utd.

Magera screamer

FANFUCKING TASTIC

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL.

Magera.

Magera!!

GOAL.

Started, and finished, by Magera!

1-0!


Magera!

MAGERAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Magera scores

Czech mate ahahaha get in :)

Fucking YES!!!!!  Magera goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal

Ha. My Magera bashing worked. 1-0

Magera do toho!

It's hard to say how important that goal could be: if Magera is the player those at the club think he is, this could be the launching of his season...

Yesssssssssssss!!!!

GET IN THERE!!!

Fucking have it. Nice one Lucas

Get the fuck in!

First goal. Brilliant.

Now do a Fjortoft.

Lukas...It's Lukas !!!

:)

He he. Great news

I was trying not to say that!

Burton winning.

Wovers 2-0 down at Accrington...

Buckling under the pressure etc. etc.

Muff 1 up against Morcambe

Half time. Take that!

Pox 1 down.

Southend lead Pox 1-0

As it stands we're up to 6th, above the pox.

Above them on goal difference as it stands.

Magera oh oh oh oh Magera oh oh oh oh

Lets hope PDC gives a positive half time talk and not a bollocking. We need these 3 points. With Morecombe and pox losing, we have to take our opportunities 

back where we belong (for now) above the scum

Are they the half time entertainment?

I like Vic's LUKASCH! when Magera scored...

Steering away from the radio today, as I'm convinced I'm bad luck.  Moved away from SSN for a few minutes and we must have scored during that period.  Lovely surprise when the half-time scores started to come in.  Magera starting pays off.  Come on Town, let's hang on to those 3 points, particularly for those who've travelled up.  It's pretty parky out there, so they must be bloody freezing!

Penalty!

Penalty Town, Magera fouled

Kennedy not on the pitch...Kerrouche seems to be taking it (On for Jervis I think)

penalty to town!

Penalty!

KEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH

Two-nil.

Kerouchhh to take!

SCORES!

Kerrouche puts it away.

GOAAAAAAL.

Kerroucheeeee is on fire!

GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice.

Just as it hasnt been mentioned, Gary Rose said Gabilondo ran into the area to set up Magera.

Convinced we would have beaten Bradford last week with a genuine threat on the left for 90 minutes.

Get in!!!!!!

Come on! lets keep that clean sheet now!

Get in Kerwoooosh

If the results in league 2 stay as they are we go above the scum.

Yay!

Was that Kerrouche's first touch?

Think it was.

Maybe, but it's always easier in hindsight.

The good thing is that Paolo isn't afraid to change the team if it needs changing.

Most people have praised De Vita's contribution on the left, (although not so much against Gillingham and certainly not against Bradford).

Paolo obviously thought the same & has replaced him with Gabilono. What with that & Magera's contribution so far he's looking like a genius at the moment.

Our first pen since the opening day of the season...

I think De Vita's been an extremely underrated part of our success this year, and I can see why he's been in the team ahead of Gabilondo, but if nothing else Gabby is an impact player and surely you should have that sort of player on the bench?

2-0 sweeeeeeet (this is a delayed reaction)....

De Vita lost it after Di Canio praised him after the Plymouth goal. Started trying to come infield all the time.

From the South stand I was shouting at him to use the space on the touchline last week, so not exactly hindsight.

He did have a purple patch for a few weeks I have to admit. Even started winning headers.

Cornaaa

Must be nearly time for another one then.

Streaming the MU v Sunderland game from my sat box to my lappie, it's a tad boring to say the least

Pox next few games :

Crawley Away
Cheltenham Home
Morecambe Home

They could be mid table by Christmas !!!

scum scored

And so they score pretty much immediately, good job guys.

Bugger !!

I meant it was easy to make the decision to drop him after the two games last week.
It would have been a much more difficult call to do so after the Plymouth game.

Fucking hell, commentators are laying into vale today

Timlin with a shot which went out for a throw-in, apparently.

Bodin puts Torquay 3-0 up.

Not liking this pressure.

Nice to hear Magera got off the mark. I've not seem much of him but there is something about him that reminds me of Jan Aage Fjortoft :hmmm:

How your tactical nous continues to go unrecognised in the professional game is astonishing ;)

Scum losing again

Sounds like the perfect time for us to go up the other end and nick a third.

Tire them out and catch them on the break!!

Southend beating the scum 2-1

Risser for Smith.

Amazing to see Southend doing so good, when they were so awful at the County Ground.

They had no strikers (and no Timlin :) )

507 Swindon fans there.

Alan!

Not much time for him to get into it

he doesn't need much time to make an impact!!

(please score now alan to prove my point)

Excellent following.  Fair play to them all  :clap:

Commentators cunningly suggesting Ritchie gets himself a soft booking so he can be suspended for the JPT game.

3 mins added time.

Flint for MoTM or should Magera get it??

Get in! a win and 5 clean sheets in a row!

FT.

2-0.

5th clean sheet.

Job done.

GET IN!!!! 3 MORE POINTS ON THE ROAD

Cracking win, well done to the lads.

Top result, just what we need to keep a good run going.

Get in, great result!

Onwards and upwards. Happy days!

Superb result.

Predicted 3-0 but I'll settle for two I suppose.

Great result!

Where are we in the table now?

6th above scum, I think.

that'll do nicely.

All good

6th. 3 points behind Cheltenham in 3rd with a much better goal difference. One place above the yellow bellies 8)

Bloody brilliant.

Remember Micky Adams spouting bollocks doubting Di Canio and all those 'foreign players' at the start of the season?

Easy now. Still early days, but for the moment, yes, he is wrong!!

And Vale striker Tom Pope's midweek comments about Di Canio being in cloud cuckoo land! Andy Scott and Steve Evans learnt the hard way, now so have Adams and Pope. Don't disrespect Di Canio! :D

Would love every team in the league to carry on doing the same!

 :wotjump:

Adams (below) said: “It’s his first job and I think everybody in football knows how important it is to get off to a good start when you begin as a manager.

“Don’t get me wrong. He has a wealth of experience and I’m sure can get over what he wants.

“But the first club you are in charge of can either make you or break you.

“Since he arrived, Swindon have had quite a turnover of players, including a number of foreign boys. It will be interesting to see how they settle.

“His reputation will help him at first, but players can work you out very quickly.

“They soon decide if you talk a good game, or if you really can impart your knowledge and develop a pattern of play.

“The one thing he will find is that this division is relentless.

“In the first few months when you are playing twice a week, with no time for recovery, it can be a real test. A lot of the foreign players will find that alien, and it will be an eye opener for him.”

Take that all day long.

Well done Swindon, keep it up.

And for all poxford fans  :smugfu:

Quite reasonable to be fair. I'm sure it has been an eye opener for most of them but they seem to coping pretty well so far :nod:

Just had a funny feeling about today.  Always delighted to be proved completely wrong.

Was going to post this earlier, but didn't want to tempt fate until after the final whistle.
 :D
Well done Town!

Micky Adam's comments are a bit more reasonable from I remember, probably got mixed up with Terry Brown who seemed to have a pop at Paolo aswell. A chance to make him eat his words on Tuesday coming up though.

Typically superstitious football fan  ;)

You are gong to hate me now....


we are going up.....


FACT! 8)

Paolo...its Paolo!

Love the bloke and he will have them up for next weeks encounter against a team unbeaten for 42...should be a cracker.

Chris Wise sounds like he's rather unsure of Magera's English, which then turns out to be perfectly passable.

Anyone know if tom pope is on twitter?

Fancy doing some baiting to pass the night shift

Can I suggest tweeting "Cuckoos 2-0 Tits"

Im stealing that

So my 100% record of matchday threads continues!
Huzzarh!

And a win away from home. Lovely.

Losing 13-2 at futsal wasn't amazing however.

the circus from cloud cuckoo land!

Will I book a tattooist for you Ginge??

Bless him, he does look a bit simple.

http://www.port-vale.co.uk/page/ProfilesDetail/0,,10381~35472,00.html

Ol' Pope obviously believes what his coaches tell him.

I doubt any scout or coaching staff member will say to their players "erm good luck chaps, they're pretty good."

Man of the match vote: http://thewashbag.com/2011/11/05/man-of-the-match-vote-swindon-at-port-vale/

Would be a bit cheeky if I voted as I wasn't there. Would give my vote to Wes for another clean sheet

He looks like Mater from "Cars"

I may have missed something, but what has Tom Pope said ???

"I heard Di Canio talking about the way Bradford play, saying they are very physical," said Pope.

"But he's managing in League Two – if he doesn't want to see physical 'in-your-face football' he should go back to Cloud Cuckoo Land where people wear tutus and dance around each other.

"At this level it's about working hard and putting plenty of challenges in.

"That's the top and bottom of it. If he wants to think his players can't be kicked, he's in the wrong job."

:D

Fantastic.

That was bound to come back an bite him on the arse. What a knob.

Changed it for you

Enjoy your weekend Mr Pope  :smugfu:

Well played town !!

Just read PDC's post match comments. He seems to have an obsession with legs.

Just got back to Royal WB from Vale...we didnt do anything great to win the game...we did what we had to...if Port Vale are one of the favourites to go up I don't know where that puts us because quite frankly I felt they were poor and created nothing....Great support again from our fans, above the scum and kicking on once more #STFC

3 points, Magera off the mark, 5th clean sheet in a row but more importantly the natural order of things has been restored with the yellow filth looking up at us again.

Sums it up perfect.

those are some momentously idiotic comments

Heh! heh!





Prick  8)

Back from the game, as routine an away win as I've seen for a while. Controlled the game from start to finish, Vale had a few half chances but we were so comfortable.  Few player performance thoughts:

Gabilondo - Absolutely superb in the 1st half, the pitch was very wide and this played into his hands as he had a lot of room to terrorise the right back. Key part in Magera's goal and was our main attacking force.  Faded out a bit in the second half.

Magera - slow start but as soon as he scored he grew in confidence and was excellent for the rest of the game showing all the attributes you want from a target man. The class started to shine through.

Flint - another towering performance, won everything in the air and was there to get us out of a couple of potential dodgy defensive moments 

Jervis - fucking dreadful, dying on his feet by half time. Saw on twitter he said he had the flu so that would explain the performance

Big Wes - I can't remember the last time I had so much confidence in a Town keeper. As per recent games he did everything asked of him.

Ridenhaugh - didn't put a foot wrong at back and seemed to have a very good understanding with Gabby going forward. Here's hoping the new Huddersfield manager doesn't want him.

Thanks...things are looking rosey.

We did what we had to do today. We matched them physically, closed them down very quickly, which stopped them playing and severely limited their chances, whilst we took our chance and the penalty with clinical style.

All the ingredients needed to get out of this division were on display today. Fucking good win against a side who could easily have kicked our arse if we'd let them play.

Wes in goal was confidence personified. Very big steadying influence at the back.

Flint immense as usual. Ditto that for McComack, Caddis and Ridehalgh

Smith got through a lot of work even if some of his passes were wayward.

Ferry his usual busy self and made some good, perceptive passes that caused havock at times.

Gabilondo a real threat, but faded due to the sheer amount of work he got through. Tore them apart for Magera's goal.

Ritchie was mediocre by his high standards. Didn't shine, but contributed well enough.

Jervis was lightweight. Not his fault if was ill though.

Magera took his goal well. Always neat and tidy for such a tall player. Will deffo be a big threat if he can keep his confidence levels up. His two-fisted gesture to the fans showed what it meant to him to get on the score sheet today. Looked like he'd finally shaken the monkey off his back and played like it for the rest of the match.

Still early days, but the signs are all there that this side are capable of causing problems for anyone.

For me though, the defence is now so solid and confident with Wes between the sticks. Gotta sign him or someone like him in January if we're going to be in the mix - or above - come May 2012.

Weird one today. Port Vale looked like they could play all night and not score - they had chances but Big Wes was in the right place at the right time. Gabilondo and Magera came in and played well, thought Caddis and Ferry were very good (as per), Flint and McCormack were composed and in control against Marc Richards.

Jervis didn't have the best half but I despair of those who booed him. Ridiculous. Kerrouche was awesome :) .

Can't see why Palace would want to end Foderingham's loan when its going so well. Chances are that they'll extend his deal with them in January and with us to the end of the year.

I've little doubt Montano is a skillful player, but let's send him back and get Bodin back. Both cover the left and can play up top.

 

I believe Foderingham is out of contract in the summer, so come January it is definitely worth chucking some money towards Palace and seeing what they say...

Bodin isn't good enough to get in our squad - yet. Not sure he ever will be, but if he's going to improve as a player and have half a chance of making it in the game, he's better off doing it out on loan as the expectation levels here are too great and our cuntish element will just ruin him.

He's never played for us with the confidence to know he can create and score goals in league football though. We hadn't got going when he was in the side this season - so can we really judge? The best guide is what he's doing now.

Sadly this isn't good news for us.

http://www.southlondonpress.co.uk/sport.cfm?id=41518&headline=Eagles%20eye%20Christmas%20talks%20with%20keeper

Still no reason we couldn't extend the loan for the rest of the season though.

As long as Julian Speroni and Lewis Price are at Selhurst Park then we will make the most of Wes Foderingham.
 
He's out of contract at Palace this summer isn't he?

Can only go on what I've seen of him. He has ability, no doubt. He's not in the same league as Keroosh, Connell, Magera, Gabilondo etc though.

Granted, he's scoring goals at the moment, and good on him. Elliot Benyon scored goals in the same place as well though.

I wouldn't swap any of our current players for either of them. Would you?

For Montano, yes. See exactly where you're coming from but the loan was put in place to develop him. Let's get the new improved version before we write him off...

Just saw the goals on the FLS. Nice finish from Magera! Looked like a fair enough penalty decision, and neatly tucked away by the flaming Algerian.

very solid away performance.

caddis' defensive positioning/marking in the 1st half was all over the shop, but in the second half vale didn't look create anything dangerous despite having lots of the ball

gabi had two or three superb runs in the first half, and worked very hard in the second. we really could have done with him against bradford last week to open the game up. behind him, ridehalgh is an excellent defender and they were never a threat down that side of the pitch

good to go into a couple of cup games with a well deserved league win in the bag

I have also just seen the goals on BBC FLS iplayer. Nice play by Gabilondo, who I have always thought should have more opportunities and agree with a previous poster that he could well have unlocked the Bradford defence. Nice finish by Magera also. Cool calm and collected penalty by The rrrrrrrroooooooooosssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhh.

Embarrassingly have a look at Timlin's miss for Southend V the Scum on 58.49 mins of the show. Cupid stunt, I bet he got some stick for that.

He played well again though setting the winner up....and he seemed to enjoy the winner a little more than his team mates.

That was amazing. one on one with the keeper and it ends up going out for a throw in  ???

He did play a nice through ball for their winner though in fairness.

I believe that as he's been signed as an 'emergency loan', the maximum he can be loaned for is 3 months. It's interesting that Palace are letting him play in the FA Cup next week, meaning he'll be cup tied, so they might be open to offers.

Whats palace's financial state like? I know they had no money recently, but not sure if they've been rescued

Jordan was bought out last year. They're not exactly flush, but not in danger of going under as they almost did before the buy out.

Just thought I'd add my comments about yesterday's game.  Prior to the game I had concerns that Port Vale, having lost a few recently, would offer a physical threat & prevent us from playing our game. Whilst we didn't show the fluency that I saw at Burton, Cheltenham or Macclesfield we were the better side. Gabilondo was a constant thorn in their right side & they never looked at ease against his pace or trickery.  His shot early in the first half deserved a goal & brought an impressive save from the Vale goalie. At last we saw what I was hoping for from Magera - a physical presence to supplement his subtle flicks & lay-offs & he deserved his goal. He also won us the penalty & Vale didn't ever look certain against him. Ritchie & Smith didn't have their best games but were competitive as ever.  Smith's distribution was somewhat haphazard but he broke up Vale's midfield passing & never let them gain the ascendancy. Ferry played well without being outstanding & was always available to take a pass or hustle the opposition into either making a mistake or pass back to defenders.  The result was that Vale never really got a grip on the game to threaten the Town goal with any real prospect of scoring.  Foderingham did everything that was asked of him & looked very assured.  I reckon he must be thinking that League 2 Football is a breeze playing behind this defence.  Flint was dominant & Caddis & Ridehalgh were solid in defence & able to get forward to add a threat down the flanks. However I was yet again impressed with McCormack.  His reading of the game is top notch & his play is another reason why our defence is proving solid. He showed some crucial tackles, timely interceptions & then played some good passes out of defence to initiate further attacking moves. His move back into defence has been highly significant & he looks like he was borne to it - I'm reminded of the time when Cloughie made Dave Mackay's switch from midfield to defence.  I may be over-egging the pudding but he could be that influential to our season. All in all, a very satisfying day out in Staffordshire.

Finally, a word about my fellow Town fans - your support was magnificent.  Well done.

Well done all who went.

I eagerly await the match on Tuesday night.

Was Crispy kicked out?

That don't count..............

Nice report, Prof.

Even though the parallel drawn between Dave MacK*nt and Alan McCormack is astute, talking about that useless tub of lard as a decent defender for those who frequented the County rather than the Baseball still grates.

MacK*nt 's comic rating of his importance as a player ahead of Stan Harland was the beginning of the end of the golden generation.

Being a canny Scot, he saw what he was doing, sold Rogers and jumped ship a few days later to ensconce himself where he could take credit for the great Clough's work.

I hope Alan McCormack stays around and develops as a defender because he's becoming a great 6.

Hey, Red Rag - I share your views of the legend that was Mackay.  Frankly, he was a disaster at Swindon what with breaking up that great team.  Getting rid of the 'Don' was an act of sacrilegious vandalism.

However I do think that McCormack is doing a great job in defence & I hope he continues to influence the development the relatively inexperienced Flint & Ridehalgh for the benefit of Swindon Town.

Fair play to you too for being one of the 500-600
.
I need to "get over it" when it comes to MacKay.  I quite like to keep the flame going though - not the only one to judge by the John McGinlay posts.

Alan McCormack's transformation from an unpretentious, tough tackling midfielder into a key central defender has been inspirational (or lucky given that PDC had to take some gamble due to injuries/supension).

Good tackling takes judgement, timing and a little attitude and he has brought that to defence.  I was really concerned about the aerial nature of defending at first but he is good at general defensive headers.  Not yet sure about one on one defence against big strikers but even if he's no Flint, just being in the right place to challenge can be a whole lot better than the alternative.

Glad to hear these good performances continue and yes you may be right as to his importance to developing others and the campaign as we wouldn't have come away with so many points lately had we been conceding as earlier

Our STFC at Port Vale match report is now up on the new look 'The Washbag'...

http://thewashbag.com/2011/11/07/port-vale-0-swindon-town-2/

Thanks Mr Washbag. Do you know if was De Vita definitely rested, or was he carrying a knock?

I saw Gary Rose tweet something about a change due to injury, assumed it was De Vita, but it may not have been.

Ahmed Abdulla picked up an injury so that rulled him out of making the bench.

As for De Vita, I just thought Gabilondo was preferred due to the wide width of the Vale Park pitch. To be honest De Vita could do with a rest given the amount of play this season...

De Vita tweeted back to someone saying it was tactical.

Ta both.

Agree he needed a rest.

Went on saturday and agree with all said on here port vale were very poor and although we weren't brilliant deserved to win.

One thing that annoyed me though was a stupid song some of our fans were singing about vale fans going home to rape a cat? I think that's what they were singing and it was truly cringeworthy!

There's got to be some sort of hidden banter in there somewhere? If not that is probably the strangest football chant I have ever heard

I randomly got chatted up by a guy wearing a Port Vale shirt at work tonight!
When I mentioned I was a Swindon Fan he apologised and scuttled away!

"You're going home to beat your wife" was all I heard.

Just a reference to them being northern (well more northern than us) i think.

No idea where you got a cat from although I may be wrong.

"You're going home to rape your cat" was sung quite a bit in the second half, we were quite central behind the goal and heard it lots....
I told my daughter they were singing about them going home to "feed" their cat  :hmmm:

Rape your cat? WTF? thats a bit juvenile and pathetic.

Robbie Williams?

Clayton Macdonald - Port Vale Defender was in court today charged with rape. Probably a reference to that.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-north-east-wales-15312837

Still doesn't quite explain the cat part.

Haha, thats quality. More surrealism please

Im going to have to take credit for the cat song I'm afraid. Drunken memories of seeing a cat on the way to the ground.  :beers:

I really do think that I missed a trick whilst growing up watching Town through my younger teenage years.  I wish I had been more like the cosmopolitan Crispy, he sounds so cool singing songs about cats whilst being really wasted.  Way to go dude!

He's an inspiration to all of us.

*Old Man alert*

Crispy sounds like the sort of kid you just couldn't fail to hate.

(no offence crispy :) )

Tell em to fuck themselves crispy, shitfaced is always the best way to watch football, it's boring sober, I know, I did it once.

What's the song Crispy?

It's not for me but if a group of teenagers want to stand in the ground (preferably the other side to me) in various incapacitated states and sing near-the-mark ditties about current affairs then so be it.

Some fat ugly cow behind me on Tuesday was talking about that song.

You managed to meet Crispy then?

Fair play to Vale stewards letting one block of people stand up throughout the game, the other block had the quieter supporters who wanted to sit.  Everyone was a winner.

Cheers babe, I wasn't going for the cool approach but since you think I am, give me a shout and you can come and suck my left bollock, I'm only up the road in Lavington.

Why the left one?

Perhaps he means there's only one left ?

He had one removed to emulate Hitler.

 :D

Looking forward to seeing his movember effort then

Because the Right is reserved for making cameo appearances at EDL meets.

There are places you can go to talk about sexual abuse. Just because they're bigger than you, doesn't mean you have to take it.
