City 1-1 Chesterfield. Ideal result so far in terms of points being dropped but would love city to start losing a game.
P Boro 1-1

This has been mentioned elsewhere, repeatedly, but worth putting here for amusement's sake.

Pox lost. Badly. On the telly. With everyone watching. And they played like shit.

I've recently come in,turnedon Soccer Saturday, and I noticed in red the scoreline and just laughed.

I think not! Still no less funny mind.

Peterboro' now 2-1 up.

Apparently Shitty should be down to 10, after Flint pushing a Chesterfield player over, like Pritchard did at Trashton Gate last season...and he didn't even get spoken to by the ref.

Highlights here for further amusement -  http://www1.skysports.com/watch/video/9512873/cambridge-utd-5-1-oxford-utd

Pikeys 1-0 down, down to 10...and Peter Taylor sent to the stands.

They're really not very good at football, are they.

Wouldn't give them the steam off me piss

Dave Beasant ( 55 ) on the bench for Stevenage v Carlisle  :eek:

Shitty 2 - 1 up now ffs

They've just shown the goals and the interview with Appleton on Soccer Saturday. How he's got so many managerial jobs, I do not know....even though he's doing a wonderful job at Pox.

Yeovil getting dicked 3-0 at Port Vale

As it stands, the Pox are back in the relegation places.

Pish now 3-1 up  >:(

4 - 1  :crash:

Chesterfield equalise v shitty

Chesterfield equalize again.

Why is Karl Robinson one of pundits with Jeff Stelling?  Sky serm to have a bit of a thing for him.

They're giving them the thrashing we should've done.

Sky adore Franchise. They're the embodiment of their philosophy of modern football.

Marvellous  :D :D :D

Him and Derry from Notts Co there commentating

Bollox Shitty last minute winner

Bloody City just grabbed a winner at the death.

Yeah fucking wankers.

Pretty sure Jeff wants to kiss Robinson too. Sky do have a massive hard-on for everything Franchise, probably because if everything in the football league was franchised they'd have a lot more control over it and make a ton more money.

Friend is a Bristol City season ticket holder. His mate couldn't go today so I took him up on the offer of a free ticket. Blasphemy, I know.

Anyway, both sides had a handful of handy players. Luke Ayling of City would fit well into our back three.

However, both teams are stereotypical League One top end teams. Few decent players but the style of play is to mix it up. City fans panic when the ball is passed back and it is usually knocked long by the keeper or defenders.

No reason why we couldn't finish above both. Nothing to fear.

Encouraging.

I don't think there will be a run-away leader this season.

Don't know about anybody else, but I'd love to see us up against a decent PL team in the FA Cup.

Would rather it was someone off-form like Newcastle. Reckon we could do a number on them.

Man United, at the County Ground. That'd be hella interesting.

I did say decent!

Spurs would be ideal - especially at The Lane

1--1 terrible defending

Sorry, deleted my post saying Preston were losing as the fuckers had equalised :)

Yes thanks for that soapy tit wank

What's with the bloody drum?

Preston 2-1 up now. Cuthbert conceded the penalty, he's fucking filled out a bit.

Ok having a nice big stadium until it's on TV about 20% full.

Dunno about Deepdale, more like Sleepdale except for that stupid wanky drum!

Cuthbert is a carthorse.

2-2 now.

COME ON ORIENT

Exact percentages aside this is applicable to pretty much all L1/L2 clubs, isn't it?

Looks like he's on the traditional Sweatie diet of Irn Bru and deep fried Mars Bars...

FT 2-2 good result.
Home game dropped points.

Great result.

They're no 5 points behind us and on the same number of games played.

Got to win tomorrow to make it count now.

Must win game.

I thought the same...

Another excellent result.

I hope the pitch is covered as it's a hard frost already in Highworth. Snow tomorrow morning too.

Good luck to Yeovil at Preston. Hoping they get a draw out of this.

Visiting fans get a free pie and hot drink which is nice of Preston.

That is nice. And good value PR given it probably cost them £400-500.

Still 0-0

0-1

Quite an unusual story.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30884482

Going to be so happy if that stays the same.

Still happy with a draw. Ecstatic if it stays 1-0!

Preston are going through their blip aren't they?

If they fail to win (big if), the leading pack of 4 starts to look more like a pack of 3.

I'll agree in 45 minutes  :)

Apparently the deal was available to first 100 yeovil fans
Judging by a pic just seen on twitter there looks to be about 20 there

I got a free pie a Fulham. True story.

Fair play to any Yeovil fans doing that trek on a freezing Tuesday night when on paper they might have expected a battering.

Come on Yeovil  8)

Saved it for the cod and sausages, maybe?

1-1. Ebanks-Blake.

PNE piling on the pressure predicatably, sounds like Ed Hadwin commentating.

4 minutes of added time.

1-1 ft

1-1 FT

The boos are 'ringing round Deepdale' apparently  :nod:

All over 1-1

 :D

7 points clear of 4th.

Eek.

Shows you that games in hand don't mean owt on paper.
Orient and Yeovil at home and pne pick up a point.

Great set of results!

Great result.

Our old mate Thor will be kicking his whippet . . .

And double the goal difference...

2 draws wasn't it?

 2 points, but yes, it's always better to have the points in the bag

Tuesday is date night in Preston.

As history tells us Reg.
The late 70's with Shresbury, Swansea and Watford.
Missed out with games in hand.

MK play their games in hand in the next 7 days. Let's hope they slip up as well.

Oops, yes, for some reason I thought they had lost to orient!

Another good result for us tonight with Sheffield United only being 1-0 down after the 1st leg in the cup. Means they'll play a full strength team next Wednesday for the 2nd leg so hopefully be a bit drained for our game on the Saturday.

Sheffield Utd perfect result v Spurs tonight. They will hopefully bust a gut in front of a full house next week just before we travel up there.

Nice too see good old JMac up to his usual tricks as well, brought back some bad memories (dodgy sliced clearances and handballs).

Thought we had no money.

The squad have flown out for sunnier climes for a spot of warm weather training.

Nice one!

I was thinking about this t'other day....remember another squad that did it (when I say remember, can't recall which one), just that we turned to shit on return.

Can't see this lot quaffing copious amounts of San Miguel, though.

For young lads they do seem very sensible and focussed.

Maybe that's because there are no bitter, gnarled old pros to lead them astray

Got a feeling it may have been Bobby Smith's 79/80 side....so yes it was probably more R and R than anything else.

Swindon Town FC ‏@Official_STFC 25s26 seconds ago

BREAKING: Town's League 1 clash with Bradford will now be played on Tuesday 24th February 2015 with kick-off at 7.45pm. #STFC

Nightmare, clashes with War on Drugs gig at Brixton. Ah well :(

Excellent . On earlies that week.

So where have the team flown off to?

Spain seems favourite.

Not sure how much warmer it is there, though

What's everyone up to Saturday then? (Thought I'd start things early)

Mine includes cinema and a meal with the mrs!

Going to Cheddar Gorge, I think.

Off to watch Slipknot / Korn in Cardiff it means I can leave at lunch time park up at the hotel and a few sherbets whilst watching Soccer Saturday. Only pain is getting up early Sunday morning to get my lad back to Cirencester for 10:30 KO

Decluttering the flat!

If anyone on the SW London region wants a 3 seater leather sofa, feel free to come and collect it!

At a 1 year old's birthday party.

Actually thinking about it that should go in the "annonying" thread. 

There is fuck all point in a 1 year old having a birthday party, they havent got a clue what going on!  It's purely for the parents benefit so they can replenish the toy supply.

Not so much non match day but the day after (match weekend) I have to go to a birthday party at my wifes bosses where we will be watching the 82ers vs the Hammers as a predule to the actual party.

I and my wife will be the only ones out of 12 guests that are not shitty fans.

Also I am driving and its 25 miles away so I can't even numb the pain with beer, I will be cheering for WHU.

Cheer for shitty! The further they go in the cups, the better. (Obviously not to the extent of actually win any trophies).

I'm going to the West Ham game. If we're signing up to the notion that more games is a good thing for Swindon then I hope I witness a draw.

The 82ers don't play until Sunday, and then they've got the JPT area final 2nd leg next Thursday, followed by the next league game the following Sunday.

It'll be nice if they get a replay, as that would probably be the following Wednesday.

Anyway, I hope playing on the Thursday/Sunday works as well as the Prem teams in the Europa League.

This would be the best outcome for Swindon and also for me, I cannot bring myself to cheer on shitty but I wont feel guilty/smug if its a draw :)

I've only ever managed a slow rise from my seat and an even slower clap whenever I go.

Practicing my polite applause as we speak ;)

Been watching La Liga and Copa del Rey this week (end) and its not overly warm in Spain atm.  Seville on Sunday night 10 degrees C....so I'd imagine one of the islands.

Correct. It's Tenerife

Isn't that where that boxer got stabbed in the leg?

Franchise sign Devante Cole as replacement for Afobe  :hmmm:

And their manager gets a 4 match touchline ban for insulting a bradford player referring to his nationality.

Yah

STFC Store ‏@STFCStore 6m6 minutes ago

515 sold for Sheffield Utd so far. Currently it is all ticket for this fixture.

--

Loads available but I think I'll get mine today.

Cold spell forecast for next weekend. I hope it doesn't snow.

The weather is pretty up and down next week I think, cold one day, mild the next etc.

Already booked train for Sheffield so hope next week isn't too cold!

Almost forgot it was fa cup weekend so add that to my earlier list of things this weekend, oh and a cold!  :badmood:

Anyone else getting a bit twitchy about Jack Stephens

Nope

The risks of the loan market are clear so there's always a chance they're recalled.

Unless they want him playing in The Championship, I can't see Southampton recalling him this season.

Unless, of course, we may be buying him!

If he'd been shit, maybe, but then we wouldn't want him...

Another energy sapping replay for Sheffield United and Preston perhaps?

Franchise winning 2-0

Pox 1 Exeter 2

soapy tit wank

Bollocks Pox equaliser

Barnsley are hopeless so the result at Franchise was never in doubt. I'm more hopeful that Franchise will drop points at Scunthorpe, providing they can find a keeper!

Scunny signed luke daniels the other day

Pox only 4 points off the drop zone and Dagenham have a game in hand. Pompey also only 3 points off relegation.

Okay, good news.
