Wilson on rivals' games in hand
           

  ‘POINTS make prizes, not games in hand.’ A footballing corruption of one of the more famous TV catchphrases, and one which Town boss Danny Wilson has on
  the tip of his tongue.

Stupid fucker-they dont need to win 'em,most of them are already above us!

Exactly my thoughts. We're the only side in the league that has played 30 games and we're in the bottom 4. Got another re-arranged game on Tuesday as well. Gulp.

Wilson - “I think our performances of late have deserved the results and if we continue like that we’ll be ok.”
Old proverb - "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome".

Indeed, do you think he's trying to take the heat of the players by acting the complete bopard?

And if our Tuesday record in the League this season is anything to go by, that's more or less a guaranteed defeat.  1 win, 1 draw and 5 losses. Gulp again.

Obika and Benyon up front is our last throw of the dice.

Ha, ha just read this piece and it's a bit of a classic of Adver-ese:

The 51-year-old has spent the week trying to keep the dark cloud generated by dissenters and gloom-mongerers away from the Swindon training ground

Mongerer? A person who does mongering? It's monger, as in (appropriately) a person who mongs

he’ll certainly have to play his cards right to steer Swindon clear of safety in League One

Pretty sure that's not what you meant. Although it is what we're currently doing, so maybe it is, in which case the whole things going swimmingly

I know it's petty, I'm just trying to cheer myself up by picking on underpaid local journos who've had to dash off copy in no time flat without time to check it properly. No-one ever said life was supposed to be fair
