ha ha you do make me laugh wiz! You were posting on the OM for a while so I thought you had a soft spot for them? Anyway pleased to see you back in the Fold M8, and it's good to read your comments about them, and I totally agree with you that stuffing them at their 3 sided stadium is a major objective for us, I just can't wait to wipe the smiles from their smug faces, especially OBU!

Did I hear correctly that last nights attendance is the biggest the JPT has ever had for a qualifier , they must be really pleased the Town are going to Wembley . Next job in hand we have to get a result at Barnet on Saturday , with Rooney in the mix it might be a bit easier but still a tough game .

Great result. PDC firmly in the shop window after last nights display and current league position. I think this years apprenticeship may be enough to bag him a spot further up the football league after the season ends. No one knows for sure at this stage and we'd hope he'd at least give STFC another season as back to back promotions says a lot about a manager. The board will have to put their hand in their pocket in order to back some extra quality for League 1 but the basic side we have is better than a lot in L1.

Indeed my man!

Was just about to say blocks 132-135.

Lets fill them and make sure that at the very least we have these blocks singing the boys home.

The Millwall experience for me was horrible and not just because we lost.

Hopefully this time we can watch us playing some lovely flowing football backed by The Wembley Town End!

I believe Saturday's game is more important. I enjoyed last night's game for what it was - a good game of football - and I enjoyed the atmosphere. The temperature must have been nearly as low as it was for the Crawley game last season but the entertainment last night helped keep the cold at bay. However, if we are 1-0 up at 90 minutes on Saturday and the ref decides to add on 5 minutes of injury time, I know I'll feel a tension that I didn't feel last night.

As well as the tackle there was a very clear head butt . I was right in line and thank goodness that animal wont be playing this Saturday.

On another topic I was sat next to an ex manager of a biggish local team and he relayed some very good info to me. This guy told me that the player we have out with a serious injury is not suffering from the injury as reported. The injury that he has is a cracked cheekbone which he obtained by being decked by an ex Town youth player, who himself is a big lad.
Believe it or not but this well respected person told me and another guy that the story was perfectly true.

Back to the game , and what a game !! absolutely brilliant especially in the first half. It seems that Sanchez told his players to get out there and mix it in the second half which they clearly did. Glad we don't have to play thugs like this every week.
I thought all four officials last night were excellent. 4th official never spoke to Paolo once, at last someone with common sense and discretion.

I agree with Den Saturday's game is more important!thinking of going to Barnet,but the weather forecast for the London area at the weekend is not looking good!so the game could be off.on another subject Redknap has been cleared of all charges!so we should sack Capello and put Harry in charge for the Euro's asap!!!!!!!!

Why so touchy about it? Midland red said Saturday's game is just as important as last night's. Some of us think Saturday's is more important. . It's good to win any match, and it's good to win any trophy. Come the end of the season though, nobody will be too disappointed if we've lost the JPT final and won promotion. If it's the other way round - we've won the JPT and are still in the basement - I don't think too many of us will be pleased with life. That's the distinction some of us are trying to make. . I am delighted for PDC and I'm delighted for the players that they have the chance to go to Wembley. I'm not sure that a competition with an average attendance of 3,200 (boosted a little by last night's gate) is worthy of a Wembley final though.

Leaving the FA looking down their previous list and offering it to the English manager with the highest placed club with most to gain from accepting, ie Sam Allardyce.

Leaving West Ham without a manager. And...Oh! I can't bear to carry it to it's conclusion.

It's a thankless job Don - a managers' graveyard. There's a reason we've won s0d all for nearly 46 years. We're not good enough. Almost every manager who's taken the job on has come into it with a good reputation and left it with that reputation tarnished. But it can't be the manager's fault every time. I reckon Redknapp or any other successful manager in comfortable employment would be bonkers to take it.

Bl00dy hell it was freezing last night! there I was watching the game from my lofty perch high up on the bar stool of the Plough in Highworth and when I went for a Jimmy at half time I was fair shrammed by a trip to the outside khazi,

From the fish eye lens, thought Devera & Ritchie excelled and Town were worthy if not totally inspiring winners.

Congrats to PDC and the players for making the final and generating some handy revenue dosh-hope the boys go on and win it. I'll probably have a glance at the final on Sky but won't be making the trip to the most souless stadium in the world for a minor minnows cup final -just doesn't do it for me - FA Cup, League or play-off and I would have put my dislike of Wembley aside and gone. Like some of the other old codgers I've been spoilt by past cup exploits and the JPT dosn't do it for me nor did it when it was the LDV and goodness knows before that!

Hope all the young 'uns have a good day out and return with the trophy, and me? well I'd have happily exchanged a Wembley spot for 3 points v the Bees on Saturday if that had been on offer before the game last night.

I wouldn't want to be a bog-roll cup winner in L2 next season!

A couple of weeks ago before we played the first leg I got 15/8 to win the cup and 5/6 on for promotion which I thought was poor for the promotion bit. Still I'll make a decent profit. You won't get very good odds at all now probably evens on the cup. at best.

Not sure that is the best policy as we want chants bouncing round the stadium - bunch 2000 hard core singers in 3 pockets around the 3 sides and you'll get others joining in. V Millwall we had a really small number of vocals around me & try as I might no chance. Last night we eventually managed to get them going but I could have done with more around me - I'm a big mouth but hate chanting on my own..still do it but not the same effect

Written sarcastically Joey, not maliciously, then again most would take it as that, if I offended it was not intentional.

MikeK - sorry duff gen it was on the "left in the cod thread" re your remarks about funds being tight - here's my response to save you trawling back through the old posts -> Malkym says... 12:59pm Tue 7 Feb 12 MikeK - I'm sure there are many others in your position in these dark economic days. Those who decry others for not attending are probably those who have never had to worry about tightening their belts because their level of disposable income hasn't been unduly affected. You have no obligation to defend your non attendance and your purchase of a season ticket is evidence of your committment to supporting the club and if (hopefully it won't) next season you are unable to do so, your support is no less valuable than the die hard with no financial considerations who attends every game in every competition home and away - best regards and trust things will soon be on the up for you and Mrs Mike and all others similarly affected.”

Not your most intelligent ever post Wizard.

To laugh loudly at the expense of a very serious injury to a young and promising Oxford player is not funny at all, why sink so low?

Written sarcastically Joey, not maliciously, then again most would take it as that, if I offended it was not intentional.

I'm sure they revel in any of our mis fortunes, their prerogative, I'm sure.

Sorry Wizard,

But you had a very good laugh at the expense of Alfie Potter, the Oxford player with a very serious and potentially career threatening injury and as such, you should be exposed as the complete dick that you are!

Wizard its great to have you back on here posting and good wishes to you and your dear wife after so many turbulent times.. Keep posting my friend as I am sure 99.9 percent of posters welcome you back on this forum even if one pillock just can not leave you alone and you should just ignore the tw*t. Please stay with us Wiz and I value and respect you input and your good jest at our rivals up the A420 and blimey I for one have given them some stick on here and on the Pox Mail. I had a good chuckle to your comments on Alfie Potter and it was rather quite obvious it was only good fun.

Wiz at times like this I always seem to remember old Blakey in On The Buses when he said " I hate you Butler" very apt at this time on your visit back to the forum and one that I hope you will stay on this time. And a message for J Butler as used by Safestyle Windows "Buy One Get One Free" in other words B O G OFF!

I actually met Stephen Lewis and the cast of The Summer Wine some years ago, we were all staying at The Huddersfield Hotel. I was doing some contract work in the town on some CNC machines at a kitchen and bathroom manufacturer.

I bumped into Steve as we met on some narrow stairs, he looked straight at me and just said " Go on then, say it, everyone else does", and the pair of us just burst out laughing, really nice bloke, as were the others very sociable. My missus couldn't believe it till I showed her a picture of myself and many cast members on my old mobile phone. This was a series after the passing of Compo, big shame. Photo's there of Les Dawson and many others in that hotel, great place, brilliant atmosphere.
As for hating Butler, nah, it would take up too much time and energy, and hate is a nasty thing to have on board, my life is too full and doesn't have enough room for hate.

I have passions in my life, my wife, my family, STFC and when her health returns to somewhere near normal, travel in our motor home. Hate is consuming, and is probably left where it is, but I do understand your sentiments and they are appreciated.

Now, washing up, bed making, a bit of hoovering, pick up some prescriptions and prepare the evening meal, mop the kitchen and dining room floors(Spanish tiles), unload the washing machine and air the contents, that should take me a while, so I'll see yer later buddy, Cheers.

Not much if anything being said about the horrific tackle last evening, with their guy going in with his knee well raised. The ref was right there and no hesitation, "You're off" and quite right too. Thought the ref had an ok game, and was that THE line -o that was the object of Andy Gray and whats-his-face taunts that got them the sack ?

ZZ, I was targeted by JB and took the stance NOT to respond to his rubbish, and I now see Wiz has done the same with some good support from others. It was very heart warming for me to read this today. Others include Chish and Fips and a few others who have had to tolerate his ongoing rants. Just out of hospital and feeling a lot better it was great to come on here earlier and see what has been going on for the last few days. I see JB's mate Steve has been having yet another go at LR about Kerrouche etc. I'll let you draw your conclusions on that.

I absolutely stand by my comments on Wednesday.

The comments from Wizard about the very serious and potentially career threatening injury to the young Oxford player were sick in the extreme and I sincerely apologise to Oxford United and Alfie Potter in particular, on behalf of genuine Swindon fans.
