I'll stick to my guns. I think I'm been suggesting this is sh** show. And no. I would never ever go and watch Plymouth.

Re: Flynny on Gary

I've said it before. Just beacause it's fashionable, it does not mean we need a DoF. Nor do we need a CoE. Let's just start with viable squad, please. Too simplimistic?

Mid-table finish now then...?

First result pending at the weekend. BUT. Let's be a little bit careful what we wish for... Not convinced this GJ momment is the answer. A proper clear out has been mentioned here. That's probably where I am too. But come on Mike Flynn, please proove me wrong.

Re: Robins Trust update

Let's start with knowing Italian and clearly being willing and able to travel to Andalucia - I can take a guess where that is, but will never afford to go. On the other hand... how are Cheltenham doing? What the team we support?

Dave Lewis over all other strikers... yes, different times but he was consistantly good and mostly loyal = legend. Grayson and May (legend?) in that order.

There's talk of us leaving the EFL for the Gibraltar National League. I believe Marchants already have a 1960s plane in the club livery... I'm hoping it might be an old double-decker with room for a few suppoters to travel away too.
