Why would you want that?

Counting our local derbies as Bristol (x2), Reading, Cheltenham and Oxford - when was the last season that we didn't have one?  I'm guessing the 1993/94 Premiership season.

Because he doesn't want the only local club that can still play us to go up.

Oh, you had them in mind

Since when have we never won local derbies? I recall us beating Bristol this season.

True, but not Rovers or the Pox.

Bloody typical that the year C*ty are bottom 3 that Portsmouth bale them out with the points deduction.

In general, we play poorly in local derbies (speaking as someone who actually goes to games). Our record against Cheltenham isn't the best and we've had some good beatings from Rovers, not to mention the Pox results.

I'm looking forward to playing, and beating all the players that jumped ship as soon as possible after last year.

Me too. I reserve a special kind of hatred for Alan Sheehan. The detestable shitcunt.

True, we used to win plenty. I guess it's more in the last 10 years or so that we've struggled for some reason. We just don't seem to be up for the fight, perhaps because we consider ourselves superior to the likes of Oxford, Rovers and Cheltnum? Whereas we're usually up for it against City (because we're the smaller club?).
