I've said all along that Xisco had to leave us. He failed. It's that simple.

However, I've followed Dun Streda since he joined them and he had a similar shaky start there, obviously not as bad as ours, but in roughly the same vein.

Since then he has turned the draws into wins and took them up to 2nd.

It's just interesting that he stuck to what he said he was going to do and pulled it off in the end. 

Did he need to go? Yes.

Do I want him back here? No.

Do I think he's the worst manager we've ever had? No.

Why is there such a combatative mentality on Wednesday's social media?

The bloke has got a new job and dine well, doing what he tried here. That's it.

Thought it was interesting.

Why is everyone reading so far into everything?

Think we offered too many contracts to flaky players, now I'm 1867?

It's getting daft now.

I don’t think anyone accusing you of being aligned with 1867.

I agree that you’re just trying to have a rational discussion re our previous manager.

 The thing is,i don’t think many, if any,have the appetite for it.I’m looking at this site nearly every day and enjoying the optimism and the general feel good factor.What could have been a very bad season turned out to be a wonderful finale,added to by what happened to the other lot across the city.I’m going to be on top of the world for as long as possible.My advice,which I offer genuinely,is make the most of these times when they come around.They tend to be fleeting.

Your eyesight can’t be that bad then.

Pigs have never won a playoff final either in how many attempts? Must be 6 or 7 too

Couldn’t happen to two more worthy teams.

6 playoffs or 6 playoff finals?

They’ve never won a playoff final and this makes it attempt number six or seven. I’ve seen both figures quoted in trying to find out the information.

If there’s one crumb of comfort I’ll try to take from tonight’s result is that it will be even nicer to hopefully see them bastards lose at Wembley! 

That really would be the cherry on top of the icing of the cake!

Let’s hope they fuck up again.They’ve had six attempts and lost every one.

Eric Clapton next weekend at the new CoOp Live in Manchester

Should be good.I would have liked to have seen Cream.

Looks like the problems with the arena are sorted out as well.

Ah, monsieur Wilder, avez vous un demi-molle?

Well that was embarrassing.I asked my sister who spent a year in France and is fluent in the language what Demi-molle means. I was expecting a size of champagne bottle,not the state of his prick.

It’s their 11th best result of the season. 

Perhaps not quite good enough to crack open the champagne then, but they may feel it’s deserving of a beer or two.

I suppose losing 1-0 is a good result for that lot in the context of the whole season.Almost a win of sorts.

I’d have only needed to collect 22 of them to correspond with my favourite class of diesel locomotive. Sure you can work out from that number which class it was.

Im a bit too young to have seen a BR Standard class 4MT or any other locomotive of the kettle variety in BR service, but my dad often reminisces about them.

Deltics were a big favourite of mine but I have to admit to being a bigger fan of diesel hydraulics.I had quite a few rides on Westerns between Cardiff and Swansea.

I've heard he's a fan of tupperware and platform tickets.

I worked with someone who went to Chesterfield Station and bought approx 200 platform tickets.They were all numbered in a sequence that corresponded with English Electric class 40 diesel locomotive numbers of which he was an enthusiast.

They all wear red is because they are a set of bloody fannies. 

It’s that time of the month is it?

Are you @Bellsview's alter ego?

I might be.It would help if I knew Bellsview ,perhaps you could help me out with that?Does he partake in hobbies most people keep quiet about?

Snigger.

I was thinking of British Railways Standard class 4MT 2-6-4T No80085 steam locomotive.Shows how our minds work,or more likely,my age.

Humber Street Sesh is absolutely brilliant, every August, loads and loads of stages and bands and an absurdly low ticket price.  Set around the Marina, its a great event in a great location for it.  100% recommended if you like new music.

Also the ferry terminal to the continent i had forgotten about.

At this rate it sounds almost attractive.

Hull fair is arguably the best in the country,I think it’s held in October.
I can’t think of any other recommendation to go there but I may be being unfair,no pun intended.

Frickley and Pontefract are interchangeable imo

Believe it or not,my partner was quite upset when she had it pointed out to her that her place of birth was South Elmsall and not Frickley.

but I'm by no means perfect, hope I wasn't coming across as pretending I was.

No, I didn’t take it that way.

Re. gleaning,around my area it used to be a term for taking potatoes etc when left in the fields after harvesting.

Well, I was only trying to help you out OBF but I am now satisfied and safe in the knowledge you won't mix gleam and glean up ever again, indeed I can see you at some time in the future imparting that said knowledge to someone else. That's how it works, helping each other.

Quite interesting reading the comments between you both re. the use of the English language.Were you educated in this country or did you arrive in adulthood?I only ask because,very often, people who settle here seem to have a better grasp of the grammar than lazy twats like myself who couldn’t be arsed with school.

More to the point,how about Frickley Athletic or Pontefract Collieries?They are easy for me to get to.

Yeah not mathematically but I can't see Huddersfield getting anything Saturday. It's a similar scenario to when Wycombe came to Hillsborough already relegated and we needed result to go up.

If Huddersfield win I'll eat my hat. 😁

Is it a pork pie hat?

I never got into punk apart from some of the music. I was riding old British motorcycles back then and living in the past like a rocker from the 60’s.Still have two BSA’s and a Triumph.Now it’s me in the 60’s.

I had similar hair back then but sadly it’s disappeared in the main.What I do have is the same style scarf you are wearing. I think it’s the same one,it has a printed motif at one end and is plain blue on the reverse.

That’s great to have and to bring back memories.Do you still have the hair?😉

I’m just saying Ipswich have two tricky looking games and if they win both the hard part is done.I think a team having to win to be promoted will fight more than one already promoted,title contenders or not.Hopefully it will be irrelevant to us.

Not necessarily, it makes others having to play for something.

Hull to beat Ipswich tomorrow would be good, Ipswich then have something to play for against Udders, and if that happens Norwich have something to play for against Brum, then Hull have something to play for against Plymouth.

 

Ipswich play midweek against Coventry.If they win their next two games they don’t need anything against Huddersfield.
