To be fair he was about 8yds out, on the full volley and just hit it as hard as possible towards the goal, looked a lot more spectacular than it was technically good.

If we achieved Europa next season that's 3 Windows down the line and a sign to players of where we are going. There is no too early to get into Europe. Saying that I don't expect it, I hope we'd be in with a shout though come March/April.

PSG being allowed to back date their sponsorship to Joan of Arc ?

Grealish been mentioned ?

A bit meh really. They deserved it over the two games and I'd rather they'd got beat, not enough that I'm that bothered though. They'll be interesting to see next season should they go up, what can they afford etc ?

Nigel Batch, Grimsby keeper early 80s.

Is he any good ?

I don't think anyone is underestimating their wealth and ambition but you may be overestimating how quick we can build under FFP. I personally don't see us too far off Wolves and West Ham currently (saying that I'm a little surprised Wolves have had as comfortable a season as they've had). We know investment will be there and we have a more sustainable plan than West Ham because of the level of backing so we have an advantage there especially for out if contract and near end of contract players. I'm looking at next season without having to look over our shoulders and hitting March thinking we are in with a shout of a spot in Europe

Great picture. The tele angle made it look like there was a question of climbing but that shows it was clean.

Off to the stripey side of Madrid apparently.

Scunny fan on the radio yesterday saying they only made 2 changes from the previous weeks draw with Hartlepool so hardly wholesale changes. Maybe they are bottom because they were poor and have poor players?

You've seen him quite a bit this season, taking your Gashead hat off (I know you'd love him for next season), do you think he's ready for the jump to the Championship should he get another loan offer (assuming NUFC see him developing on loan) ?

On that scale, in this country, as a regular thing not a one off ?

I think a few clubs will have been looking at ours and it will be copied. It can only help the atmosphere and spectacle at games.

Might be an era thing but I echo all of that. I mentioned you earlier in this thread as I'm sure it was you who also mentioned both red and blue of Merseysides spiteful habit of being great with other fans till they have them massively outnumbered, was it you ?

Surely the thread title should read "Elliot Andersn wins promotion for Bristol Rovers", he did get the decisive goal like..

Pandering to Brexit sympathies on the planning committee by getting rid of the MEPs room.

Seaham hall was rumoured as the bus came through Walker on way to SJP.

Been on the pitch twice, at Huddersfield and Grimsby, promotions both.

N dicka.

Better than a lot of the ones who didn't get away stories.

Back then they weren't so big, few wanted to buy them and the Government wouldn't give a toss if they disappeared. Neither is the case now though.

It wouldn't have been slow. According to Bruce Buck they were weeks away from defaulting on Eurobonds and likely faci g administration.

Lacked any consistency did Jinky. Unplayable on his day but those days were pretty sporadic.

From my one game I played I'd recommend practising your throw ins so they are legal and have your score cards ready for Disco's diving. (It was Disco wasn't it ?)
