Why do I hate him? Can someone remind me? I just said hello to him in a book shop in Kenilworth but couldn't shake the feeling that I have some deep seated dislike of him because of something he said or did to the club. Can anyone enlighten me?

I think he's just bitter because we beat him in the League Cup final.

He really dislikes us too, not just the LC final but from his days in Brizzle, always putting us down when he was on HTV/Points West.

Bobby Gould really doesn't like Swindon and he's a bitter, washed up, useless cunt of a player and manager. He also applied to manage the Town more than once and never made the short list.

I'd like to echo Chalkie's thoughts.

He's still bitter about '69, and he has managed both Brizzle clubs, and we've turned him down every time he's applied here.

Didn't he apply for the managers job when someone was still manager but onthe verge of being sacked.....Andy King ?

Wasn't that Mel Machin?

He probably did too but I remember King complaining about Gould doing it.



Sorry I can't mention his name without saying something: stupidfuckingandykingwhatacluelesscunt.

I remember he was the co commentator when we were live on TV vs Oxford a few years ago in the cup.  We lost 1 nil, it was a shit game and he spent 2 hours saying how great Oxford were and how shit we were.

That's why I hate him, have done ever since.

Good to know that my dislike of him isn't irrational. He lives in Kenilworth so if I see him again I'll ask him if he remembers 1969.

Fact is Arsenal used the Swindon defeat a turning point,most of the Arsenal players went on to get double winning medals a season or so later...dont think Gould was part of that though.
Bob Wilson has said more than once that the Town defeat was a catalyst for a more determined effort in later matches.
Gould is one of those managers who couldnt connect with the fans of the teams he managed...let alone opposition fans.

He's fairly popular up here in Coventry from what I gather.

Well i should imagine he was sent there.............often.

A fate worse than death itself...especially if you're a lorry driver, the roads around the city are so bad you need a 4x4 in places

Go there often.....to be fair the motorway ring road helps when delivering to the City.
Must say though the people are very friendly in Coventry.

WTF are you doing in Cov?

Say hello to Dave Nellist for me if you see him.

I live here :(

p.s. the people aren't friendly enough to employ me sadly

I heard its becoming like a Ghost Town.

good work

Errrr.... I sort of gathered that.. it was more a question of why? It doesn't stgrike me as somewhere you'd go on a whim.

My girlfriend is at the University of Warwick. Fortunately I don't live in Coventry, just outside

coventry used to have a great nightclub called 'the eclipse'
it got demolished and flats built i think.

That's Coventry Poly int it? I've been there a few times.

Nowhere near Warwick is it?

The old Polytechnical is now Coventry University, Warwick University is based on the outskirts of Coventry at Gibbet Hill...but still nowhere near Warwick :)

That explains why my several memories of the place don't match up at all, it's because they're memories of two completely different places!

I thought your GF was in Sweden?

no, she's from Norway originally

Lots of people come from Norway.

Not that many.

Fucking hell, you must be as pre-historic as me to remember that place arriba. I never actually went there but heard great reports of it. I think i've still got an old LTJ Bukem mix tape from there in 92, sad cunt that I am!

went there loads of times.changed its name to 'the edge' then closed a couple of years later.
had some top nights in there.
