Its 2.46am and ive just got in from work, im getting the 8.40 train to darlington. If anyone has my number and is up at 8am give me a call as i have a horrible feeling i might oversleep

1-3 revenge, 3,248

We're gonna lose :(

just got in from work and being stuck on the fucking m6. 3 nil win and im not going I have bunk beds to erect

i cant sleep might have to pull an allnighter

It's 4:30 am and I've just woke up for work.

We will win 2-1.

It's 5.30 and I've just got up, gotta be at work in Wincanton at 7.00am.

Hard, tight game. Think we may nick it. 1-2

Im still at work,lets ring the cunt up.

damn,I didnt say they time before I posted.Im not in with the cool kids :(

Pools 1 - Town 3 feeling optimistic.....mainly as our defence has been pretty strong of late.

Oh, and I'd like to see Monkhouse brought down a peg or two after celebrating his goal like it was the fa cup final winner...

 

I gotta feeling we're gonna smash 'em 3-0 today.

1-2 to the Swindon Town.

I have a bad feeling, but that's good because I'm usually wrong. Unless knowing I'm wrong means I'll be wrong about being wrong. Right?

The only time I've been there was on my birthday.  We lost and I nearly died of exposure/hypothermia.  A 2-0 win today will exact our revenge.

1-0 to the monkey hangers...

Tight game..a 1-0 win will do...cant wait for next saturday...you have another early start next week Herthab!

1-1 draw with Douglas breaking his duck.

Gonna need a Brighton-esque performance to get anything today, so 1-0 to the Town - JP to score.

0-1 narrow win for us

thanks cunts not one of phoned me! Luckily i woke up and have just passed peterborough. Dead fit blonde sitting across the train aisle with a magnificent workmans bum. Good times.

4-0 Town  :nod:

Any win today is a good result. A draw will seem like a huge let down, simply because we're now within touching distance of Leeds. Hopefully we can nick it but it won't be easy.

I love being this nervous for a game. It's massive. Narrow win.

Pictures. Where are the pictures.

I'm feeling confident today. I predict a goal rout.

Hartlepool 5:6 Swindon

Pook Ferry hattrick.

We will not win

Every game's a must win from here on in.

3-0

Austin, Nouble, Pericard

Pericard is injured isn't he?

I have a good feeling about today, a narrow 2-1 victory. 1-0 down, Wilson will Wake 'em up at half time. Nouble to get his first goal. YOU REDS!

Is he? I missed that one if he is ???

On another note. WHOO HOO! Mark O' D is back on the Beeb!

I don't have your number and I only just woke up.

HUFC 2-3 STFC  Ward, Austin and Greer with another bullet header from a corner on the 90th minute to seal the 3 points.

Don't hartlepool have a ridonkolousy shite home record?

That's why they will be especially dangerous this afternoon.

Yes-but that means nothing!Still 1-0 Town,Sheehan.

Hartlepool are going to be more dangerous than a week old doner kebab.

2-1 Town, it will be tight I think today. Hopefully the players will have their minds on todays game and not on next week at Leeds.

It think it will be a close game, hopefully we will have enough to nick it by the odd goal.

On a side note, did consider going to watch Peterborough this afternoon just so I could boo the Shitheads, but just can't be arsed, so will be glued to the iphone/pc checking the score from oooop-north

2-1 town. 2 up then a nervy last few minutes

Lucas in goal.

Ferry returns.

Pericard is injured, ham string.

I forgot a few things about hartlepool, such as the shite view, the cold wind how scary some of the people are round here, it's like another world

The caustic air from the chemical plants on Teeside just adds to the ambiance.

good to see the back four staying the same.

How strong does our bench look!

Same question asked every week, but besides the official site, are there any links to listen to the game?

Its like a good old fashioned lung full of countryside air! :/

For the sake of fuck ::)

Strong looking bench though.

I'll go 0-2 Charlie brace

Andy Monkhouse will play up front against his former club, partnered once again by Roy O'Donovan who scored a hat-trick last time out at The Vic.

does Pericard get injured every 3rd game.

I swear he plays 2 then gets injured, hamstring.

Would he had made the bench this afternoon if fit?

I hate it when people come out with this sort of logic. That's like when we were on our unbeaten run and about to play stockport and people were like "stockport haven't won in ages so they'll win" or something.  ::)

after his role last saturday, yes.

Have you ever been to Hartlepool, more dangerous than a halibut on LSD.

Any more food analogies Crozzer?!

Ace - UB40 - Falling in love with you 8)

At home, Hartlepool have played with all the pungency of a vindaloo, or when losing with all the punch of a biryani.

Losing with all of the blandness of a korma, surely?

Line up as expected other than maybe Lucas returning. Strong bench this week so it's all good.

I can see why Lucas is taking his place back now he is fit as he is first choice keeper but Smiffy could feel a liitle bit hard done by after his recent performances

Smith did hesiate for that Norwich goal he mad the decision to come for the cross but then changed his mind and started going backwards.

He was MOTM at Soton though.

Rolf Harris pre game son.. Happy days

Thats a shitty reason for dropping him though.

Goal wasnt his fault at all.

I'm sure Lucas has never hesitated over a cross, or god forbid let a goal in.

I agree with Lucas coming back in but surely Cuthbert and Paynter should also return to the side if both fit enough to be on the bench.

That is the strongest the bench has been all season.

I think that if the players 'with the shirt' are playing well enough, they should stay in the side and the likes of Cuthbert and Paynter have to be patient.

Mash it up Harry-We all love a bit of wembley up our you know where!

If we win, I'm going out for a few beers tonight. If we lose, I'm gonna stay in and sulk.

If we draw, I'm not sure what I'll do.

Stay in for a few beers?

You should always make room for beer, win lose or draw!

Either go out and sulk or stay in for a few beers!

Have to agree, that's harsh on Smithy. Lucas had conceded 6 in the two previous games.

Fully agree there OST

I would go with all "the blandness of a korma".

Smith has done well since he came in so i can't complain but Lucas is the number 1 and the better keeper so i think it's the right decision to bring him back in.

Using all the squad before the playoffs is what he needs to do, it's no good going into the playoffs knackered.  Hoddle avoided doing that.  have Norwich scored, yet?

I have Jeff Stelling on the tv but muted while I listen to STFC World through the laptop. No scores yet.

Stevenage 1-0 up :D

Luton also 1-0 up :D

So is Luton...

Wovers 1-0 down...

Did he just say Swindon's loss is Hartlepool's gain?

Luton 2-0 up :D

Claude Gnakpa scored for Luton.

GOAL: Shrewsbury 0-1 Darlington: Purcell 8


Predictions, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, or 5:1?

Fuckin great start in the non-league - keep it up. Luton seem to have suddenly found something at the right time.

Any kind of a win up there is always gratefully received, however some slick & confident football & a rock-solid defensive performance on top of a win would be smashin.

Luton 3-0 up :D

Gnakpa goal again !

Gnakpa again?He's becoming prolific

Who would have thought a month ago that people would be saying LJF should keep his place ahead of Cuthbert?

Even more amazing as LJF can only have played about 3 matches at centre back for us.

He's on another hattrick.

So what is happening in the game?

Cuthbert sent off.






Kevin Cuthbert for Morton.

Rovers 2-0 down !

Not a great deal. Sounds like we're the better side though and been having more of the ball.

Rovers two down now :D

Reading bastards again. They teased us first half of the season, then they appoint an ex-Poxford player to manage their team & the twats can't stop winning.

have faith!

I'm currently playing football manager at home, and I'm hoping this is a good omen:

I hope LJF breaks Monkhouse's leg.

Monkhouse struggling......

Monkhouse looks injured :)

They'll bring James Brown on :(

I fucking love it!! I said to kick that cunt out of the game!

Monkhouse still down injured.

Dongs 1-0 up.

Franchise winning

Monkhouse "very uncomfortable" with an injury - hope it finishes his career. He's nearly started 2 riots at the CG (after scoring) for absolutely no reason whatsoever. It's not like we ever gave him major abuse, he's not worth it. Maybe that's why he wanted to start something, his pride was hurt.

Austin!

Nice one Charlie.

charlieeee

GEt in!!!!

AUSTIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CHHAAAAAAAAAARLLIEEEEEEEE

Woop.

WHOOOOOOOOAAAAAHH

Get in !

CHARLIE................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cunthouse is off

Nice on Charlie :)

Stelling's gone very quiet on SS..

Luton 4-0 up now :L

I don't want to tempt fate but as it stands we're third :D

Pox are in real trouble.

I can see Luton winning the play offs if not the league.

did you mean to type it like that? are you taking the piss out of me?

or did we both do exactly the same typo?

Shhhhhhhhh!

Come on  Norwich.

Luton 5-0 up!

I didn't realise Richard Money was Luton's manager until a few weeks back. No wonder they're flying.

Just rewound SSN - just a bit of sarcastic coughing from Le Tissier et al.

Millwall winning.

Millwall 1 up now

Beechio went off for Leeds today, He was out stone cold, Nice to see Austin being in two places at the same time  :D

Luton 6-0 up

Luton 6-0 up !!!!

Money being groomed as our next boss after Wilson takes the England job......

Luton six up. Stop the fight!

No, honest typo.

Luton 6 [SIX] now.

how bad our hayes and yeading?!

6 down after 30 minutes, keep up that rate and Luton are on for 18.

6-0 to Luton :O :L

Before I edited my post, I did exactly the same thing as you!

Afternoon people!  Charlie Charlie Austin then!

Good lad!

anyone know the luton score?

Didn't Hayes and Yeading beat Oxford?!

Even more amusing - Hayes & Yeading won 2-1 AT O*ford just 18 days ago.

It was 0-0 half an hour ago!

6-0 to Luton atm Si.

Are Millwall really 1-0 up? according to Sky sports website it's 0-0

7-0

yes

7-0

Blair Sturrock for Mansfield.

Luton 7-0 !!!

:D

Rooney scores.








For Inverness.

I replied with 41 seconds - how's that for customer-service.

I can't keep up with Luton!!!! Fucking hell!!!

Stockport o.g., Stockport scored.

What in the name of Sweet Baby Jesus are Hayes & Yeading up to??

They beat Pox a few weeks ago...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_conf/8542042.stm

13 goals for Luton in less than a game & a half.

New manager, some guy called Malpas or something like that.

you reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeds!

Rovers have got one back!

ooo  off tthe bar  lucky town

Rovers drawing now.

rovers 2-2

Sweeney shoots, Lucas is beaten, ball smashes back off the bar.

Pox are playing Gateshead, who got beat 8-0 in their last away game...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_conf/8550141.stm

I told you that they were more dangerous than a foo goo fish.

anyone mention rovers are level  ;)

Millwall 2-0 up now.

Millwall 2-0 up

No but,

CORRECTION
GOAL: Dundee Utd 1-0 Motherwell: Goodwillie (38)

I remember Ritchie Humphreys played for England U21's at the CG, maybe about 8 years ago.

Fat cunt playing in the 3rd division now.

More like 13!

haha

Millwall 3-0 up.

Take it thats HT? Whats the summary of the half?

Franchise to win, Pikeys in real trouble now.


SENT OFF: Gillingham, Oli, Second Bookable Offence (42)

Hull are winning!

fucking great

Seems like we're generally quite comfortable, but Pools had a couple of moments later on in the half. A fairly uneventful half with us looking the better & more composed side.

Charlie scored, Sweeney hit the bar, and Monkhouse went off injured.

Flippin fuck, you're right. 1/4/97, 0-0 vs Switzerland, 10,167 there.

monkhouse injured? hopefully a broken face  :D

I remember that game. I chanted come on you Reds and everyone looked at me like a was mad.

I was 7, to be fair.

Ex-Pox player scores both Stevenage goals - he's called Oddbaby or something.

Less than fucking Jake??!!!Thats not ska!

Yemi Odubade.

Oh dear with the Cunthorpe reference, Radio gold there.

I remember watching it on sky and seeing a load of mates who never went to watch the town - cunners

Less Than Jake are the acceptable face of ska for the 20 somethings (from when ska was cool)

i initially wrote out LTJ but thought i'd change it in case anyone got confused

one cunt in scunthorpe!

Ha Cunthorpe! Mark O'D is a card.

Ben Hutchinson just scored for Dundee.

Cheers Ralphy, yeh I know, I was just trying to do a childish wordplay.

Rubbish & Dustbins 1-0 up :D

Fuck. Pox scored.

1-0 OX

Oxford 1-0 up

Luton havent scored for about 15 minutes!!

Strong start to the half by Town. Obviously been told to get that cushion asap.

Did they bother coming back on after half time?

Huddersfield 1 Charlton 0

Huddersfield 1-0 up.

Bloody hell 'Pool are at us!

Luton 8-0 up!

shame, apart from us on the last day have Millwall got any hard games coming up?

super bill

Billy P on for Nobble.

Billy P!

Paynter for Nouble

Colchester 1-0 up.

Colchester winning

Colchester 1-0 up

Millwall play Brentford on Friday

so they will be second before we even play Leeds.

Udders and Charlton 1-1

Charlton 1-1

i mean huddersfield soapy tit wank

.....and Colchester away on the Monday

rovers 3-3

Millwall have to go to Colchester on Easter Monday

if thats as tough as their run in gets, i'd fancy them....

Lampard Pen scores again

Frank Lampard hatrick.

4-1.

Their centre back Patrick Collins did well for us on loan. Good solid defender, just what we needed at the time. Saw his debut, the 2-1 win at Millwall.

Chelsea 5-1 up

5-1 now malouda

They're due a couple of slip-ups. Just have to hope we can take advantage.

nearly 6.

villa arn't playing shit...chelsea are just immense

Millwall 5-0 up.

It's Sam Collins, Patrick Collins was the awful shite defender we had on loan from Sheffield Wednesday.

Pikeys have equalised.

Pikeys and Dongs 2-2.

we need another goal.

Patrick Collins was a proper shitcunt.

fucking hell its all them!

Where's mark marshall when you need him?

Looks like the Hammers could be in for a relegation dog fight, losing 1-0 at home to Stoke.

...and they've got Adam Boyd to bring on as well.

Seems we've lost something since Nouble went off?

We could do with a few extra goals full stop, 2 give us a similar goal difference to Charlton, Colu and Udders.  Could be important come the end of the season.

Could someone please ask Austin or Paynter or one of the others to make it 2-0 please? I really can't handle another nailbiter today!

Stevenage 3-0 up :)

Dont think were gonna catch up with their goal diffs.

and here comes adam boyd

Only 5 or 6 goals

God this is nervey.

we only got 5 in the last 7

Gonna be 1-1 soon me thinks

...and that wouldnt be +5 either would it.

A lot of those 7 have been away from home though and against top teams!

well it will now you've said that, cunt.

FGR 4-3 up now good on em

How long left? Have we been out of our own half in this half?

That's bollocks, he did a steady job. Dunno why the fuck I thought that was him today though.

Just flicked Radio Oxford on for a minute, commentators (including Peter Rooades-Brown) in a state of near-panic - "If we don't score again today we can definitely kiss goodbye to automatic promotion."

Patrick Collins didnt do a steady job he was fucking awful.

Maybe fresh legs in order?

Guess if we beat them 8-0 at their place we might be ok?

although he did alright away at Rotherham in our make shift backline.

Just less then 10 minurtes

No attacks by Swindon,  lets just hope we break quicklu

Town sub to be made  Timlin coming on i think

NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN NOT TIMLIN

Oh feck. Timlin coming on :(

....but not Timlin!

I fucking hate Timlin, Surely Easton would be the better option?

5 man midfield, paynter on his own i guess?

Chelsea 6-1 up

Arsenal 1-0 up

If Wycombe can scrape an equaliser most of the other results are pretty much going our way today!

Oh eck.

Austin off again

Timlin on   Austin off

Maybe my memory is playing tricks on me as I seem to be out-voted. He definitely played well in that Millwall win though, absolutely 100% sure about that.

THAT WAS SAM COLLINS

he was shit

Timlin coming on does horrible things to Dave.

IT FUCKING DOES!!?saflhbasdakldajVaiolhkl a

JFL legend

Chelsea 6-1 up, blimey.

easton on

Easton on for Ward, pack the midfield!

What did he do?

came on in the norwich game and we got a late goal maybe it can work both ways  ;D

Darlo are winning 2-0 !

1 min left

+ the traditional we are winning by 1 goal 4 minutes.

I wish commentators wouldn't say substitutions "waste a bit of time".

My nails are gone.

7-1 chelski

I'm calling 4 minutes of injury time.

Chelsea hit 7?!

NORWICH   YESSSSS

Norwich 1-0

Norwich score!!

Norwich winning.

Norwich!

3! Hurrah

NORWICH TAKE THE LEAD :D :D

Get in Narwich

woohoo leeds 1-0 down

YES!!!!!!!! NORWICH!!!!

NORWICH 1-0 up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't express how amused I'll be if Leeds bollock it up, even if Milwall end up 2nd.

Get in Norwich!

Means we have to hold on!!!!!!!!!!!!

does not like, does not like, does not like, does not like, does not like, does not like, does not like.

Oh lordie that was close.

Fuck me  thought they scored then

Hold on you cunts.

I feel your pain Dave!

Pool hit the post-fucking hell this is torture!

Phew

Morgan's strangled screams make he want to kill him, tell us what's going on for goodness sakes :/

I dont have a cunt to hold on to!!!

Cmon guys, you need to be more descriptive!

FT!

Thank fuck for that.

ALRIGHT, ELTON JOHN, calm the fuck down eh. I got the right player just the wrong first name - ALRIGHT????!!!!

You're not the only one on edge here.  

Yes! Get in!

YAY

Oxford score last minute winner. boo

Leeds have Kandol sent off

Fuck Pox have scored

soapy tit wank at Colchester  

Good stuff!  That will do lads, that will do!

Wycombe scored!!!

THANK FUCK FOR THAT!!!! well done lads

GET THE FUCK IN, that was painfull


Good result

Yay TFFT!I like the fact that we are now becoming lucky!

Get the Fuck in! And Wycombe have equalised at Colchester!

Fantastic result.

Is it full time at Norwich yet?

SUPER WYCOMBE

I love life.

Wycombe equalised v Colchester
Kandol send off for Leeds
Udders draw with Charlton

Game ON!

it is now.

We're 1 point off Lids....

FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have never cheered another team's goal like I cheered when Norwich scored. And Wycombe have just equalised against Col U. And Charlton and Udders are drawing!

Sweet 8)

Norwich FT. Get in!

Kandol, subbed on in the 2nd minute of injury time, gets a red card about 10 seconds later, what a hero.

mess around!!!! bring on lids

That was a horrible few minutes

crap i missed it

PHEW!

Great ground out result. Well done Town.

Good results elsewhere too. Beer, here we come.

I bet WACCOE's gone into overdrive...

they tried to get the ball past Francois and he said, no, no, no

How big is next weeks game now!

A couple of shit late goals elsewhere, but what the fuck can we do about that.

A big 3 points and the so-called big-boys just cannot shake us off. It's not just Austin's goals, how many points has he won us?! He scores crucial goals. Quality aswell as quantity.

Very happy YET AGAIN.

One point off an automatic place - bring on the Weeds.

whereabouts?

Sat in suspended animation through 45 mins of Stelling...didnt talk,darent move.
UP THE FUCKING TOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I did mention that they were dangerous.

Supermarine 2:4 Oxford City

We've got to go to Leeds and just get stuck right into them from the start with nothing to fear. They're going to be shitting it. If we don't get second place so what? If they don't get second place it will be worse than a thousand Hiroshimas.

Get the fuck in :D 8) :) :dance: :banana: :jumpy: :harshfunny:

The race is on - so exciting!

Get in Charlie.

can i please say COME ON BRENTFORD x

I know ..the other results went beautifully for us!

That could be a big banana skin for them

Leeds, Colchester and Milwall all away. If we get 2nd place we really will have deserved it!

Excellent result from Hartlepools and around the league today, couldn't have hoped for anymore really.

Another brilliant performance from Lecs by the sound of it..could he keep Cuthbert out of the team against Leeds..?

If we go ahead, they'll be right on their players backs. If we win, it'll be Armageddon. Come on! Can't wait.

No, LJF will have to play left back as Sheehan cant play.

"With twenty minutes on the clock, Pools' fortunes took two big knocks - firstly the lively and determined Andy Monkhouse was injured in a collision with a photographer on the touchline.

The former Swindon Town man suffered a cut to his knee which then forced him from out of the game.

Just minutes after the incident involving Monkhouse, Pools went a goal down as Charlie Austin struck home.

And there was more poor defending to blame as Austin was allowed far too much space inside the area to pick his spot and shoot low past Flinders."

Good thing is a draw isnt shabby at Leeds now....we dont go there under pressure to win and stay in touch..course i want us to win.

Ha, ha! On radio - "Austin is god, I want his babies" from Charlotte H in Calne. CFW? :)

The best thing about next weeks game, is that we have nothing to lose, we were never ever expecxted to challenge for an automatic play off place, all the pressure is on them!

Wouldn't want to drop him, or move him back to left back, although if Sheehan can't play v Leeds, we might see just that happen.

Flinders left floundering!

That will have to happen.

Damn, good point, I'm obviously not thinking straight.  ::)

Dreaming again.

Flounders can be dangerous if aggravated.

Crozzer-are you a closet Grimsby fan?

What's going on? Has O'Donnell got the shits or something??

Caught flat footed on the goal.

Hopefully the confidence he should have from playing exceptionally well at CB will go toward a good performance next week.

I can't believe we haven't offered LJF a new contract yet. If he keeps playing this well we could lose him in the summer, how funny would that be.

Since Peacock left, yes.

I think they've suspended all contract talks now until end of season so everyone can focus on run-in. But yes, he should be offered an extension over the summer. Really grown on me this season

LJF's been a revelation. I was amazed when he was offered a contract during the summer but it's easy to see why now.

It's all going off at WACCOE...

http://www.waccoe.com/index.php?showtopic=178414

Bates' program notes could be a touch entertaining, I want to go to Leeds now

get in! Shit game but we won. Lads dug in. Man of the match for me darby. Highlight of day i had a fucking foot long hot dog :-)

very pleasing result.wish i'd lumped on it as i said 1-0.
i can see millwall becoming a very tasty fixture indeed

That would appear to be the case.

Well done lads,dug in and ground out a result.

Just seen Martin's goal for Norwich on the counter attack.

Becchio stretchered off early on,with a possible serious injury.

Glad I'm not sitting next to you on the long journey home  :)

Shit me, WACCOE reckon Becchio's broken his neck. Owch.

No Becchio and Kandol will help! I see Beckford played though.

Fuck ???

And they lost Kisnorbo the other week too - out for the season!

My personal highlight from Waccoe, a thread entitled "Did You Honestly Think We Would Fuck It Up So Much?? "   :D

On another note, hope Becchio isn't injured too badly, sounds nasty.

Danny's on

our ability to grind out these results its something we havent done for years, infact since I've been going to football we have never managed to do it.

Any other season and today, Southampton and Brighton would have been 3 1-1 draws.

I also like, "Grayson please fuck off now", "Leeds, as much as I love you, you ruin my life" and "don't worry we won't be in the play offs" :clap: :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Another One "I think a new word "fuckupability" should be added to the dictionary and accredited to this club"

 :D :D :D

I swear this wasn't me!! I was on the phone and didn't even hear it get read out!! Is someone winding me up?

From Wiki, Becchio:

Becchio was substituted early on in the first half against Norwich City after being knocked unconscious after Michael Nelson kicked him in the head. Becchio's head also landed heavily on the ground. He was substituted by Mike Grella.

Also from Wiki, Austin:

On 20 October, prior to a reserve team match between Swindon and Plymouth Argyle, Head of Player Development David Byrne revealed in an interview that he believed Charlie Austin would soon get his chance in the Swindon first team.[6] Austin then went on that afternoon to score two goals for Swindon reserves in the 3–2 victory over Plymouth Argyle's reserves.[7] Austin made his Football League debut coming on in the 70th minute in the league match away at Norwich City on 24 October 2009. On 21 November 2009, Austin scored his first professional goal in only the third minute of his full debut away at Carlisle United.[8]  Jamie's Future Wife wants to have his babies.

God I actually went and checked that then!!

 ::) ::) Fuck me.......not directly affecting us, Rovers & O*ford.

It was definitely on the radio, although yes, I think someone has got a key in your back honey  :)

That was my text asking if it was the mutton vindaloo, when he answered that he wasn't "crapulent"   ;D

Valuable three points and back up to forth

Poole won 3-2 at Fareham
@ leefer Brock won 2-0 at Alton

He wasn't letting on what was going on, wasn't "Crapulent" a character in a Shakespearean play.

This is a good one too -

"possibly the biggest collapse seen in English football"    :D

Great result it has to be said. Leeds is a huge game now. As others have said a point wouldn't be the end of the world there at all. In fact it would be awesome. I think we have it in us to go there and win though.

Surely nobody wrote that down in seriousness?!?!? Chortle.

Hartlepool supporters' view, with rumours that Turner is going to get a vote of confidence next week.

I have never joined the chorus for Turner's head but after that he really needs to take a look at himself. Let's hope he heard the "Turner out" chants and walks soon. At least Keith Houchen was intelligent enough to understand that he had lost suppoerters completely. I wonder with Chris, is he so arrogant that he believes the twaddle he trots out on Radio Tees?
My view of today's efforts:
FLINDERS. just how many times in one game can a goalkeeper hoof a planned clearance onto the stand roof? not many times more than Scott!
McSWEENEY. Started well, bags of pace tried to play football throughout and therefore cut a lonely figure. His main problem is that he isn't a full back.
COLLINS. Truly woeful, given a torrid time by both their strikers and most of their midfield. Rivalled Flinders for hoofing the ball of the pitch
CLARK. No confidence, no skill and on today's evidence no ability either. A centre back pairing to give anyone nightmares.
AUSTIN. Strangely subdued and caught up in the maze of ineptitude and mediocrity.
JONES. One of the worst midfield displays ever witnessed in a Pools shirt. He reminded me of David Clegg today.
SWEENEY. At least he never gives up but that's about all you could say
GAMBLE. So much for the new Jan Ove. Displayed hitherto unseen inability to tackle or pass the ball to anyone in a blue shirt
HUMPREYS. On the day our best player, ran and passed all afternoon with precious little support
MONKHOUSE. no comment
O'DONOVAN. Absolutely desperate. Gordon Greer will never have an easier afternoon. The Irish League beckons
BROWN. Never put a foot right all afternoon. Seemed about as interested as Aston Villas back four.

It does greive me to be so negative but the performance against a competent but far from outstanding team was complete and utter shite

http://www.waccoe.com/index.php?showtopic=178394

At last they realise

Well just got back after a long but ace day.

Scrappy game but we did enough, Lucas looked commanding, back 4 looked strong, sheehan made a few shit passes in the second half but made uo for that with a fantastic header from a dangerous cross.

Midfield decent and as for the attack well you know the story he gets one chance and bang.

Was deceptively windy and that played havoc with the game, fucking great result and about 300 swindon fans there. Bring on Leeds.

It always is at Hartlepool, that's one thing that Wilson would definitely have banged on about to the players, esp having managed there.

Big effort from you and 268 others today.

An exaggeration perhaps?

Seem to be some sensible ones on there for a change.

Although not this guy http://www.waccoe.com/index.php?showtopic=178326&st=0

But fucking hell, if he's actually from Russia then fair play.

Oh dunno mate - I only know Twelfth Night. In my ignorance I just thought he made up an amusing word.

Why oh why are Leeds fans so obsessed with this big club/small club issue any way? The sooner they realise its about the 11 on the pitch and nothing else, the better for them it will be.

No, it's a real word that means a hangover. I remember finding it in the dictionary when I was about ten when you go through that phase of looking up naughty words. Completely descriptive though.

haha, comparing themselves to lazio. that made me chuckle.

First half was pretty enjoyable. They were absolute rubbish and could barely string two passes together. We were the only side who looked dangerous.

Second half they had to resort to any means possible to get themselves into the game, and it became quite scrappy. Obviously you always get the wind comming into it at Hartlepool. Only time they got near the goal was fat boy Humphries long throw ins. Looked pretty obvious that Turner had gone ape shit in the dressing room at HT. He could well be sacked in the next few weeks. Ive been to Hartlepool 4 times and that is easily the most depressed ive ever seen their fans. Barely mustered any support for the team at all, even the 'Turner out' chants were pretty muted. No enthusiasm whatsoever.

We were nowhere near our best, but it was still a victory that could have been more convincing. Word is Leeds were unlucky not to get a draw at Norwich and we will need to 100% on our game next week. Although it has to be said Leeds failed to score again. Our fans have taken a bit of deserved stick in the last few weeks, but the support was good yesterday throughout the match from a small number of fans. There were no grumbles when Austin got subbed (he did look tired), and Billy Paynter got a good reception when he came on.

Quick mention to a few of the players. Lucas, Lescinel, Douglas and Greer were rock solid. Sheehan was good first half but seemed to lose it for a while in the second. Ferry and Mcgovern, did well in a tough battleground. McGovern stuck his head into a ball he wouldnt have put his foot last season with a fantastic show of commitment to stop their man running in on the back 4. Ward not as good as usual but he was still working hard, pitch wasnt great but you cant make excuses.Darby had his best game in a Town shirt so far, some good challenges. Big contrast seeing Darby (one of the thinnest players in the league) up against Ritchie Humphries, one of the fattest. Austin continues to embaress players from higher up the football league. Not just with his workrate, but the accuracy of his passes, his control, his ball retention, his shooting and his running. Nouble seemed to realise he was being totally outclassed by Austin (in every department) in the first half and did step things up, but it didnt stop him getting rightfully substituted for Paynter. Billy came on all guns blazing and went in hard on every challenge. Like I said, I think he was pleased but the fans reception when he came on. Hopefully he will be ready for 90 minutes on saturday because Leeds wont fancy another dose of the AustinPaynter! Very encouraging that our worst player in a Town shirt was the one on loan from West Ham.

Spot on with all that spencer, was similar in performance to the Brighton game, Im liking the fact we seem to be able to hold onto these leads away from home. We play very differently at the county ground, cant wait for next week should be a cracker, if we win at Leeds then im hoping we should get 10,000 plus for tranmere on the bank holiday.

Plus can i reiterate something I posted a few pages back.....

I had a foot long Hot dog yesterday it cost £3 and was just fucking superb! It was called a Frankenfooter :)

Outstanding. Tasty, cheap and a clever name to boot. Worth the trip on its own I would say. In 2004 I went to a game between Canvey Island and Kingstonian and had the most fantastic burger ever for about £1.50. I still think about regularly to this day.

On the subject of the game, it sounds extremely encouraging and the sort of perforamance we've been incapable of putting in over the last I-don't-know-how-many seasons. Reading some of the comments on Waccoe it does sound like they are actually quite optimistic after the Norwich performance in spite of the result so the lads will have to be at the absolute top of their game. I'm sure they will be though and we're well capable of getting at least a point.

I must say I'm very surprised by this, in 2006 I bought a burger at Victoria Park. It was the worst thing I've ever tasted, I only managed 2 bites and chucked the rest. It also put me off buying food from any ground for a long while.

The Diamond burger at Rushden was quality.  Not had a football burger to match that.

Best burger I've ever had was at a Maidenhead game. Cheese, burger and bacon for £1.50. Deeeeelish

They only sell about 10 per game. It was probably a very matured burger!

Stuck up cunt.

That's probably why it tasted bad.

I reckon the roll alone weighed about a kilo, the amount i couldn't eat should keep the local gull population fed for a few weeks.

Ha ha ha

Crapulent is a real word, thanks that's very araldite of you.

I'm shocked that the "official" away attendance is quoted at 269. Looked at least 100 more than that to me.

Cheers...good win for the Badgers.

Yes, agreed. You should've been a fat bastard like me though and gone for the Double-Diamond. I don't think I needed to eat again for a few days after that game. Good little trip that is, they should get back up, at Oxford's expense would obviously be nice.

And a good win for Poole

Nice finish from our Charlie yesterday too

Should be up for Walsall game, Stuart's keen too, but not too keen on a Poole game soapy tit wank

I've always liked the word crepescular, but never really found an opportunity to use it.

There used to be a late night thread nearly every night on here. You could have used it then.

Look forward to seeing you if you make it.

Not read through the whole thread, but has anyone mentioned that Austin went off injured? Took a right kick and was limping when he came up to the fans at the end, hope he's ok for saturday.

plenty of arnica and he'll be ok i reckon

Brilliant... :D

He'll be fine for Saturday. Afterall it's our cup final, he's bound to make himself fit for it..everyone dreams of playing at Elland Road 8)

Just got back from Amsters....that result was the cherry on a fucking beautiful cake!!

Roll on Leeds, see you there.

I have to pinch myself when we play teams like Leeds because it's so rare that teams like us get to play teams of such great stature. Leeds are also my Premiership team and the conflict just kills me. They're just too big for this division and they really shouldn't have to play shitty teams like us every week. I truly hope they can soon get back up where they belong and i can go back to seeing their games from my sofa.

If Leeds were too big for League One, they wouldn't be in it, and they should be honoured to play teams of the stature of Swindon Town.

But they shouldn't be down here with the likes of us, they're the champions of Europe! They must be, they've got a song about it and a website about how they actually won the European Cup even though they didn't.

Deluded tossers.

If we don't take 6k+ then we should be ashamed. The size that Leeds, as a club are, merits the same, if not more, attendance than what we took to Fulham. I mean Fulham have never been in the Champions League (from off the top of my head) whilst Leeds have - therefore by the past exploits alone STFC should have more fans travel to watch and support us for what will be the biggest match that we will have this season (regardless of the fact it actually is a pretty big game for both teams :D).

Fulham is handy, Leeds means going to Yorkshire with greater time and expense.  It's also on Easter Saturday, people might have other things going on over the Easter weekend.  The biggest match of the season is Leeds, then Tranmere, then Colchester, then Exeter............... 

Crozzer, I think you're taking tongue in cheek posts at face value. Don't want to put your nose out of joint, but I think you'll have to take it on the chin

Yes, taking the posts at face value. I have a dislike of the mighty Leeds United, I am afraid they might be back to their best on Saturday, apparently they shaded it against Norwich except for the late goal. 

I don't think Gary Sprake's allegations of Revie's side were unfounded, Jim Barron former Swindon goalkeeper alluded to some funny goings on at Leeds.  When Aston Villa were in the old third division their fans just got on with it and enjoyed the ride.  Leeds will get into the Championship sooner or later but their fans appear to think they are entitled to gain promotion.

Crozzer does tend to cut off his nose to spite his face.

He needs to turn the other cheek or he'll start to raise eyebrows

Paul, stop sticking your nose where it's not wanted or you are likely to get a slap in the chops.

Just remembered something funny, and again it may have been mentioned. A lad at the front started "Give us an S" went through it but forgot the O, so when the what have we got was asked, bar a lot of bemused looks and laughing, KOT did "Dyslexia" clap clap clap.

The BBC have only given us about 50 seconds of highlights this week, and the only one of our chances that they showed was the goal, mixed in amongst about 4 Hartlepool attacks.

No wonder other teams think we're shit!

We didn't really have any other chances worth showing though.

Good, let's hope they carry on thinking that. Maybe DW's slipped the BBC highlights editor a few quid so we can carry on going under the radar :)

I see the Football League Paper rated Gordan Greer an 8 out of 10 performance. Douglas, who was 7 out of 10 got the star man accolade. Figure that one out.

Is Sheehan available to play on Sat or is there a rule that says he cannot play against his parent club  - is he isn't available who will play at LB with LJF playing so well in the centre ?

Sheehan cannot play against Leeds, so Cuthbert will probably be back at CB with JFL at left back.

I'm sure i read somewhere on here that he's allowed to play against Lids. Although there's a high probability that it falls under the 80% bollocks and not the 25% football.

Truth be told...I suspect I probably did. :I'm a complete mofleakin Deak

For anyone who skis, feeling very confident i once went to the top of a mountain to ski a double diamond run. When i stood at the top of it i literally adopted the foetal position and then crawled to another run. I've never seen anything further from a ski run that is actually classified as a ski run. Even now it makes me feel like pissing myself. Just thought i'd mention that for no reason other than the memory it provoked.

Went down a double diamond once, half way down saw the ambulance at the bottom of the slope (er face), with some poor sod being shoveled into it, didn't go down that slope again.

On another note, rumour has it that Clough is being lined up for the Leeds job.

Kind of feel sorry for LJF. As you say he'll get moved to LB with Cuthbert at CB then come the next game Sheehan will go back in at LB and Cuthbert will stay at CB with LJF on the bench. Whereas if Sheehan could play there is a good chance LJF would keep his place.

On another note, rumour has it that Clough is being lined up for the Leeds job.

Is that because all they have achieved the last couple of seasons has been through cheating and they can chuck all their medals in the bin.

As long as Ken Bates doesn't come and steal our manager for the 3rd time

Managing Leeds United is a poisoned chalice :(.

The Legend that is DRS:

A 2 parter......

Friday night in Redcar, walks up to a nightclub and the doorman says he cant come in as he is wearing trainers.

DRS : How about I will race you to that clock on the corner.
Doorman: what?
DRS : I race you to that clock on the corner and if i win you let me in no questions asked
Doorman :(laughs) ok mate no worries
DRS : Right then after 3, 1, 2 3.

Doorman legs it, DRS walks in the club :)

doorman comes in the club says fair play laughs and shakes DRS hand :)

part 2 to follow...

I think this post needs more abbreviations

Part 2.

DRS and friends walking home from said club in Redcar a little worse for wear pass some stables. DRS decides it would be a good idea to steal a pony so he can give kids a pony ride on Redcar beach on saturday morning at 50p a throw. DRS friends actively encourage him to steal pony so he jumps into the paddock(?) and manages to get pony in a headlock before out comes the farmer screaming blue murder and DRS has to make a sharp exit.

And i was wondering why he looked so rough at the game :)

I don't think they would be happy even if they appointed Mourinho, as he managed Chelski.

What am I saying...that would imply that they are a big club !!!

You can imagine the conversation :

Mourinho's Agent : Leeds have approached me this morning about you becoming their new manager.
Mourinho : Who?
MA : Leeds !! You know that club, whose fans think they are European Champions, despite them struggling to get out of League One due to the fact that all the other teams raise their game against them.
JM : Are you having a laugh ?
MA : No. They say they are a massive club, who should be playing Chumpions League football. They did beat Man Yoo in the FA Cup at Old Trafford.
JM : But they play in League One !!!
MA: Their fans say that doesn't count as they are a massive club, who have been European Champions, despite their name never being on the winners list.
JM : Are they fooking deluded? No. Now get me a job at a club that are ACTUALLY in the Chumpions League...not ones who think they should be.

Did i dream it? Or did you tell me he kipped in a Triumph Herald?

Dont worry i think i read it on his facebook.

Fucking nutter
