Nah, a draw away at a lower-half team is no good thing. Apparently.

Haha depends on the circumstances mate. We can afford to drop a few points particularly away from
Home.. I didn't think you would beat Crewe today personally, they've been in decent form really for a couple of months now. And as you said, we lost there ourselfs.

I wasn't being entirely serious mate, was merely poking fun at the situation after one of your fellow fans' bizarre comments previously.

A draw at Orient would be a totally acceptable result for you guys and even a defeat would hardly go down as a catastrophic one, such is your lead at the moment.

Why is my comment bizarre? I'm happy when Swindon draw, you're happy when Swindon draw, everyone is a winner.

 

[Agombar stool]

We weren't brilliant today. Neither keeper had a lot to do in a stalemate.

Somehow the ref gave 11 yellows and 2 reds in the least aggressive match you've ever seen.

Disappointed to have drawn but now looks like it's city's title to lose and now 3/4 playing off for the last automatic place.

Fantastic day for Bristol City. They managed to win at home to Rochdale whilst MK Dons and Swindon both dropped points. MK suffered a poor away defeat to Coventry, their away form will be their undoing this season. Swindon are also 4 without a win away from home after todays draw at Crewe. Preston smashed Oldham to make it 5 wins on the bounce and are on a roll of late. Sheff U couldn't beat struggling Crawley but look good for a play off spot. Donny strengthened their grip on a play off spot with another home win, but they have some tricky games coming up now.

Chesterfield snapped a 4 game losing streak and scored their first open play goals since the departure of Eoin Doyle. With 3 winnable home games coming up, they could be firmly back in the promotion picture. Bradford suffered back to back away defeats, is their cup run distracting them? Got some perfect fixtures coming up to get back on track though. The Vale shoot up into the top 10 and they also have some games coming up which could see them get into the top 6. Peterborough started well in the post Ferguson era, do they have the squad to make an unlikely push for the play offs?

We're in the playoffs - hurrah

Daniel Johnson, just teabag me with your big Jamaican balls.

Great goal yesterday - when he was with us earlier in the season it seemed shooting was the only obvious thing lacking from his game...looks like he's sorted that out.

 

[blade1889]

Donny have some tough fixtures coming up. Fully expect us to be in the play-offs, not sure who id want in there with us though.

 

[TomPNE94]

I was watching them do shooting practice before the game and he scored every single time. Right in the corners aswell. Very impressed with him so far.

 

[Ravey 28]

Gonna be lots more twists and turns between now and the end of the season people.

Preston were down and out for the autos a few weeks back and now look. You just never know. I still think it'll go down to the last day and if we're involved in that, what an achievement for such a young team, and a low budget. Playing attractive passing football along the way too.

Bristol won't lose it from this position, although I hope they do

Karl Robinson mk 2

 

[Ravey 28]

Well, Robinson does talk a lot of sense

 

[This Charming Mike]

To be fair to Ravey, we do have a bottom half budget. Not sure why that's even up for debate.

 

[Gerry Gow]

You have a bottom half budget? You should have said.

 

[Heisenberg20]

And at this rate you will end up In the bottom half

Nope.

Bollocks, left it too late for the Football Special to MK and it's sold out.

Think my other option is catching a 6am train, think I can get a return for £37 with my railcard. Don't want to be messing about with the coaches.

Edit - Make that £49 return now.

 

[Lambourn Red]

£1.4 million is going to be bottom 5 budget wise as Power said a tenth of one particular club in L1

Sheffield Utd?

Leyton Orient?

 

[TomPNE94]

He can get fucked if he wants anyone to believe anyone in this league has a £14 million budget. No chance. Orient's is apparently £4mil and they are paying Dossena £20K and Henderson £12K

 

[Bottega Don]

£14 million budget?

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[blademan89]

Sheffield Utd?

No chance think i can remember seeing that ours was about 12 million the season we got relegated so would expect it to be about half of that now i dont actually have any facts though

Split the journey, Preston to Manc £16 rtn and Manc to MK is £45, less 1/3 railcard discount makes it £40

Aye someone has posted something on PNE online that i'm going to look into, I might be able to do it for £35. Just £8 more than the special and I can drink on the train, leaving at a reasonable time too.

Was only messing anyway, his original post was having a dig at us so was just taking the piss.

In all honesty ours should be the biggest with yours second which i would guess actually is the case

 

[Indian Dan]

Of course, ours is £1.4m with another £5m via brown envelopes - as is our way.
