Maidstone Owl

It's very congested in the top half, the points distribution beyond Coventry is such that they're all beating each other. Oxford binning off Ipswich Friday night, proves the point. However, nothing would give greater satisfaction than another play-final comedy day.

The kid has something about him, for sure. Good coaching and him keeping level headed, a good Championship player/career will make.

There is something cringeworthy about grown men fighting, outside of professional boxing etc. Let's hope the aggressor is charged (and banned).

It's done now. On we go! It's going to be a (VERY) good Friday!

I hate to suggest this, but I think the swine-beasts will make second place.

New chant? I guess the band would go and ruin it! Remember, remember, the 5th of November, Gunpowder, treason and plot. I see no reason Why gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot. Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, 'twas his intent To blow up the King and the Parliament Three score barrels of powder below Poor old England to overthrow By God's providence he was catch'd With a dark lantern and burning match Holler boys, holler boys, let the bells ring Holler boys, holler boys God save the King!

They are just not that good. Our side last season wasn't that great, but would have easily beaten PNE yesterday. That's what I was trying to say. Same as Millwall, they were beatable. We had the better chances v Millwall and v Preston, and that's with our ruined, threadbare squad.

What's all this "Blades" crap on here? Seeing a lot more of it of late. I appreciate many of us don't dislike them as much as they dislike us, but come on! You will NEVER, ever, hear a Pig/Blunt give us the respect of "Owls", or even "Dem Owls". It's Pig or Blunt, and also not sure where that Tufty crap came from. Chief Pig, Wilder Beast, Owd Ham Face and other names make so much more sense.

The kids have most likely seen their wannabe "Rocky Dad" throw punches before. Probably knocks their mum about etc.

The stewards are probably on around £12/hr. Probably not worth receiving a broken nose/assault. Just pretend not to see the incident, also save on a load of paperwork/filing report. Take the money and go home. The yellow jackets are a mere box ticking exercise/satisfying Elf n Serfty.

There will be a lot of walk ups today.

Preston are not all that. This just goes to show how pizz poor the Championship is this season!

It's going to be a good day! Good morning everyone.

Morning all, are we all well this morning? Got a good feeling about the result today!

You have the last laugh! He who laughs last, laughs loudest!

McNeil surely earned a starting place for the game against Preston, with his good performance and near misses last night. Thornton needs to be given a game in the centre of the park, what have we got to lose? At least a half/60mins. But don't ruin him as we have done 3-4 other kids.

What's going on here? Well if that is the quality of opposition in the top 6, God help the Championship/EFL. Utter dogshyte! That aside... anyone noticed this? Charlie McNeil and Baz give each other the archetypical "we did okay/lads slap/embrace" but when HP Sauce approaches Baz, he is met with a somewhat "cold" reception? All is not well? Tactics? Something else? Baz playing injured/constant injections? Something doesn't look quite right.

Let's just be thankful it wasn't 6 or 7-0, because it could have been if the Piglets' players hadn't wasted so much time rolling around etc.

Afraid to tell you, you are wrong. It's all about securing the largest 'pence in the pound' return, for the creditors and the creditors only.

Sadly, I have to admit to feeling the same. Some players put a very abject performance in, despite the terrific build up and atmosphere inside the ground, to begin with at least. Basically, Wilder did a job on us. Just a shame we didn't play them in the opening 8-9 games.

Joking aside, WHY is this allowed? If you walked into Trafford Centre, or Meadowhall even, dressed like this - you wouldn't get too far. And before anyone says "he can dress how he likes on a public street", he isn't on a public street. That section of the Lepp. is private property/unadopted highway/footway (i.e. the Council/public does not own it). An Intimidating, menacing, mess. Are the Police actually okay with this? So could you stand inside a police station car park/forecourt, like this? Private land. Genuine question.

Exactly. Yesterday was the mark of a decade of Thai ruin and neglect. Let's not kid ourselves otherwise, if they were actually any good - that could easily have finished 5 or 6-0. We wouldn't have lived it down for decades. As it is, it will be forgotten about in a season or so. Their celebrations at the end were cringeworthy.

Does that explain why they celebrated like they had just won a play-off final at Wembley? Oh, wait

You know Cooper can't dive/save to his left? I know a GK coach for a Champ side who told me such. Just smack shots into the bottom right corner and he will struggle. Overrated. That said, it would have been nice to see him make a few saves, at least. Ho-hum.
