  1. Not by that lot. These are people still who bring up the 9-1 from about a century ago.
  2. Possibly the eruption of joyful noise when Villa scored on Sunday. The place had understandably gone flat and it seemed we were merely playing out the last few minutes of the season. I barely celebrated Gayles goal because i just didn't think things would change at Villa park. The rest is glorious history.
  3. Didn't know you used public transport Mike. Is that with your magpie mover? Seriously though, it's one of those games we can hopefully just soak up and enjoy without any real stress. Not like we're still trying to avoid the play offs. Winning the league would be the icing on the cake. Hoping for a Brucie bonus at Villa Park.
  4. http://lightandaperture.typepad.com/.a/6a0120a8c93777970b01348502a4ae970c-pi Surprised people go to the lengths of banners and planes but one look at that pic reminds me that they deserve all the stick they get.
  5. This. Being out of the top tier is something you just have to put up with and hope we get back up quickly. Thankfully we have done that. Suppose i enjoyed it until we looked like we might throw things away in the last 3rd of the season, or so it seemed at least. The final table will look better than i expected it might only a few weeks ago.
  6. Can just enjoy the day next Sunday. Whether or not we go up as champions isn't much to worry about on the last day but it would be fantastic if it all falls into place. Very ironic that Villa could provide some happiness after we've suffered down there in recent times.
  7. In the words if that great philosopher barry Scott, " bang! And the dirt is gone. " Hope they go bust/ languish in the lower divisions.
  8. You just know that the next s**t storm is always just around the corner and liable to hit this club at any time.
  9. If carlsberg did other results...
  10. exactly how I feel. Just been made naturally pessimistic over the years.
  11. Think I worked out if we draw our remaining games and Huddersfield lose just one we'd be up. Wish they'd just get it done though. Anything can happen with this club.
  12. Villa away could be a big problem for them on the last day of the season, if things are tight at the end. Would be quite ironic if Villa helped us in any way after having a big hand in sending us down twice at the end of 2 seasons.
  13. Great advert i have to say, despite what it's trying to sell.
  14. They're simply worse than the teams above them, although Boro are doing their best to match them just now.
  15. Aye, was reliving the story of the geordie invasion of Leeds Road to my daughter during last nights game. Geordies up the floodlight pylons and everything. And that city game when we all expected a hard game. The 5-1 at home to Carlisle when we saved a pen at one end, turned around and scored up the other end immediately. Fantastic. was there, was surprised that as our first league visit there since. How far is the new ground from leeds Rd? Was carlisle the game that had writing on the pitch? remember the away game at Carlisle on NYD when one of our fans ran on the pitch and had a swing at the keeper- Thomas? Not far from Leeds Road. Didn't go yesterday but drove down for a friendly some years back and drove along Leeds road approaching the new place. Think that carlisle home game had a chance of being called off because of the writing, pleased it wasn't. Wasn't at Carlisle but i'm sure i've read it was Thomas. Was there the season before when Howard Gayle was standing in for an injured KK. That was my 1st away game. Didn't even bother me that we lost 2-0 at the time. Was just so thrilled to be at an away game as a teen.

  17. This is it IMO. Gone this year. Can't see them making up effectively 7pts AND finishing above 3 teams to stay up. They've had some miraculous escapes but can't get away with it every year.
  18. Quality that. What memories! What a season after so many years of crap.
  19. Read that Nakhi Wells is doubtful for them. Bit of a help if so.
  20. I think looking over past seasons you rarely fail to go up automatically with 90 pts so hopefully 6 would do it.

    Remember that Birmingham result because shocks were real back in the day, not like the cups nowadays with weakened teams etc. God I sound old.

    Altrincham away at Birmingham?
  23. Think fans of all the clubs in that east midlands region, Derby, Leicester, forest have a high percentage of a**eholes among their support. Just from my experience that is.
