Given the choice for next season of us finishing 3rd and making the playoffs, or 7th and winning the JPT which would you go for?

Given our recent record in the play-offs, a Wembley win.

That said, if you win the play-offs you get a trophy. Wink

I guess the question should be, would you have preferred to have won the JPT this season or lose the play-offs?

I preferred the original playoffs, when the team 'just about good enough to stay up' played the teams 'not quite good enough to go up'.

I'd forgotten about that.  Anyone know why it changed?  It's also a shame they changed the away goals rule, would have seen us through to the final

What did Harlee Dean do?  Apart from spelling his name like a cunt.


He celebrated directly in front of the Swindon fans when he scored at Griffin Park goading us and telling us all to shhhhhhhhhush.

UEFA banning clubs for financial reasons but not for racism.

It would be wrong to ban a team from Europe because of racism. If it's the fans being racist play it behind closed doors, otherwise why punish a team for something that is out of their control? Debts on the other hand are the club's fault.

I think I've missed it.  Are they going overboard with the adulation?  I think he seems a decent chap so I don't begrudge it really.

People I've grown up with (I live in the Welsh Valleys) openly changing the football team they 'support'. The amount of Cardiff 'fans' & new season ticket holders around here makes me fucking sick.

Urgh, I cannot understand changing allegiance.  More often than not, Swindon are dogshite but it just makes the occasional bit of success all the more enjoyable.

If they came from the valleys they probably didn't care about football, they were too busy shagging their siblings/parents/cousins/family sheep.

I'm not quite sure how and when it happened (I guess when he left England) but David Beckham has quietly and bizzarely become one of the most underrated England players of all time. Waddle's tripe the other day about not being in the top 1000 players of the Premiership era was fucking mental, the man finished second in the Balon D'or behind Rivaldo in 1999 and Zinedine Zidane described him as one of the best player he'd ever played with.

More to the point, he busted his gut for England and showed the kind of passion that we always gnash our teeth about players lacking in the three lions and dragged a shit team around for much of the late 90s/early 00s. Sure, he played on way past his prime and yes, he took a lot of easy money in LA. But he is one of the best English players in my lifetime, and no amount of jealousy about his lifestyle, wife or laughing at his lack of intelligence should overshadow that.

Totally agree Nemo.  Beckham was a game changing player who gave 100% for club and country.  There's not many people who could turn themselves from a hate figure in 1998 to what he became.

People who slag him off are quick to overlook the massive amount of work he does for charity as well.

Indeed.

Went to LA for the money and lifestyle too soon. He was only 32 when he signed for them - which in some cases can still be the peak of your career. Lampard, Scholes and Giggs have all played at the top level (at a reduced rate admittedly) well past 32.

if he'd wait till he was 35 before going out there I think more people would have understood...
