Swindon to win league 2, with Cheltenham and Creepy Crawlies.....

Oh yes it shall be mine.... mwwwwaaaaaahhhahhhah........

Oxford to lose in the play off final at Wembley to Swindon old boy Luggy at Southend !

Discuss............

Cant see Swindon winning it, there are better sides, Torquay for one, though you dont give them a mention, Southend probanly stronger too. Also watch out for the late closers as Swindon slip down the league, as their manager is made to watch on the telly outside an exclusion zone. How can you get so excited about just managing to beat Northampton! Bryher Pilgrim.

Lee Johnson is a free agent after having his contract terminated at Bristol City. Expect he will be heading your way, for another contract with Daddy!

Here's what I think of the Rangers situation, I read on here all the carp about Celtic fans wishing they go bust and no longer exist, surely any true football fan will realise that would be the death of Scottish football, if either side of the OF goes the SPL becomes a bigger joke than it is now, will not encourage hardly any TV revenue and crowds would half, (that includes Celtics attendances), your coefficient for europe would slip further, and any young talent would be offski sharpish, about time you realise you need each other just to survive, and dont say you'd join the EPL cos you won't if that happened the SPL, SFA would have to go because of your stance over Scottish players playing for a GB side at the Olympics.

Watford may ask QPR if they can take either Tommy Smith or Heidar Helguson when the loan window opens. Since the arrivals of Djibril Cisse and Bobby Zamora, Helguson may off fallen down the pecking order so in order to gainfirst team football, Mark Hughes may send Helguson or Smith out on loan.

Thinks it would be disgraceful if helguson went down the pecking order without him we would of been good as relagated already

cant believe im saying this as i h8 the guy... but neil warnock wud be a gud man to lead us to the premier league, he stands for no bull off bates and wud sort our defence out. either him or mick mccarthy. sum 1 with a big name in management is essential now so the players can look up to them. this season needs to be saved and playoffs is a must!!

Im not a leeds fan, or even a football league fan im a toon fan. But y is everyone happy with Grayson being sacked they were in league 1, 2 years ago, i no they are the biggest club in the football league, but tenth isnt to bad and only a win away from being in the play offs plus they lost to an inform Birmingham team. Surely play offs was their aim and it is far from impossible to achieve that.

Sunderland are bigger.

01 Feb 2012 17:04:34
Who would want the Leeds job now? Grayson only just missed out on the playoffs last season and his side are just 3pts outside of the playoff places now. The new man will have to battle Ken Bates every step of the way and then he'll have to face the most disloyal set of fans in the game.

Leeds fans are living in the past, they still think they're a big side and deserve a place at the big table, they point to their history as some kind of reason for them to be in the Premier League and still call for the likes of Alan Smith to return (when they're not spitting at him and calling him Judas)

Leeds Utd - marching on into obscurity

Well said that man. sometimes the truth hurts. Larry wasnt the problem, BATES is holding LEEDS back & long may it last. Lol

Not many teams bigger than LUFC, & no better fans anywhere.

01 Feb 2012 16:25:19
ED glad Larry got sack just to keep all the post coming in now transfer day has past {Ed001's Note - god no, I was hoping for a rest today!!}

Well have 1 off then mate LOL {Ed001's Note - cheers mate, can you cover for me?}

He has taken you to 3 points off a play off position in his first season in the league.
He should have been given a lot more time.
You were a big club once, but it is going to take time to get back.

NO PROBLEM

01 Feb 2012 15:54:42
Sad to see Grayson sacked as he did the best job he could with no money. Hope to see Gus Poyet replace him, i could see him getting us a playoff spot. PLEASE KEN SPEND SOME MONEY ON GOOD PLAYERS!!!

Any potential manager will think twice before working for Captain Birdseye

Fat bruce would

01 Feb 2012 15:01:43
If Warnock gets the Leeds job, expect Mackie and Bothroyd on loan.

Nope and nope, is that the Mackie who is playing every game ??

01 Feb 2012 14:24:02
grayson gone.ABOUT TIME!!!

01 Feb 2012 13:15:13
now its not only norwich that know what it feels like to win 5-1 at portman road

Yeah we can all live in the past 5-0 ring a bell think man city can score 5 easy as well

01 Feb 2012 10:33:36
To all the fans of to name but a few: Norwich, West Ham, Everton, Newcastle, Sunderland, Southampton,Celtic, Rangers, Reading etc etc
Jordon Rhodes was not for sale at any price in this window, we told you but you just couldn't believe that a league one club like us was ambitious enough to want to hold onto him. Well done Dean Hoyle Lee Clark and Jordon Rhodes. Lets hope that we are rewarded for this decision with a place in the Championship cos if we are you may well find it just as difficult to prise him away from us in the summer.

...and how many of the aforementioned clubs actually made a bid for your hero?

You aint good enough to get in thechampionship fail again good

Bournemouth, huddersfield, Reading Pompey..... Who still has Matt Ritchie then.... Eh Boys, told you he was going to stay !! (for now at least)

Your post does not apply to ALL fans of the clubs mentioned. This Saints fan agrees with the rest of your post and applauds your club for its ambition. I think he will go in the summer, whatever league you are in, but it won't be cheaply!

Quite a lot made bids if you lot are to be believed, "done deal" many of you said. As we weren't interested in selling we didn't disclose anything about the bidders at our end as contrary to popular opinion we weren't trying to start an auction for him. Perhaps we are not as small time as you seem to think we are.

Not that I think Sunderland were after him particularly , but yoy shouldnt listen to gossip.
However, when you do not get promoted , say goodbye to him.

Saints fan here, happy that he's stayed with you. Terriers fans were gracious in defeat last year and I wish you every success(unless you're playing us).

01 Feb 2012 09:38:06
just looked on youtube at the Jellymans 19 goals from last year & he looks like an excellent capture. 2 overhead kicks, some from poor defending, but I'm glad he is here

He is a good signing, straqularsi looks promising as well

01 Feb 2012 08:36:40
The Southampton revival continues unabated, no excuses about missing players this time but two more points dropped...

Last 11 games: W2 L6 D3 - 9pts from 33

Promotion form for sure - BWAAAAAA!

Errrmm...still 2nd and only 2 points off top....BWAAAAAAAAAAA

Oh, and by the way it is in fact:
W4, L5 and D3.

If you're goona post something at least do your homework.

How many pts has your team got btw?

Saintgumbo.

You're living off your early form, your current form will see you miss the playoffs... BWAAA!

'Current form' so just because Saints had a little dip in form doesn't ness mean it will continue, look at the West Ham result last night - i suppose they will be relegated now will they?

Current form means nothing.

BWAAAAA...not sure what that means but hey ho!

Saintgumbo

Excuse me children, who does BWAAA support and did mummy give you that name at the moment of delivery?

Umm, your numbers add up to 12 you dope! I guess you didn't take your shoes and socks off eh? To be fair it's actually W3 L5 D3 - but who's counting? The point is, you keep bragging about how wonderful you are, but the fact is you're living off your early form and will soon be overtaken. You've been lucky thus far, but the pack has all but caught you, and once that happens, you're f***ed!

I can't wait until you lot stuff it up

COME ON YOU BLUENOSES!

Only drawing with 3rd, this means we will miss out on the playoffs???????????????

Watford to take Tommy Smith and Heidar Helgeson on loan for the rest of the season. Official announcement in a days time.

01 Feb 2012 01:07:50
Ipswich to persue owen and dos santos now window closed and could sign the pompey three on loan. Looking more likely pompey targets will sign in the summer after pompey relegation (points deduction for administration will see to that) McGugan could also follow if Forest go down!

31 Jan 2012 23:17:43
Rumours in Bournemouth that crawleys macfadzean (if that's how you spell it) is a £1 million target for the cherries. Also Jayden Stockley and lyle Taylor expected to make their loan moves to Swindon town. Thomas is returning to Bournemouth from his loan at totton adding speculation that current no 2 shwan jalal will be moving to Burnley. Burnley apparently still also interested in Marc Pugh so deal for Swindons Matt Ritchie still might not be dead yet? Phew ... Like I say all speculation but Matt Tubbs and McDermott were only speculation and both deals have been done now! It's a rumour site is it not? And these are strong rumours
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Why don't you accept the fact bournemouth won't sign ritchie now or in the summer, If he was to leave swindon at the end of the season it will be to a big club not a poor below average team, Also how can you say mcfadzean is worth £1 million yet bournemouth fans state ritchie is only worth about 250,000 & the club offer an insulting 6 figure sum, he ripped southend to shreds tonight & scored one & setup 2, He is the best winger in league 2 by miles. {Ed003's Note - We dont seem to be grasping the idea of the reply button,next one is just deleted,I wouldnt mind but it is quicker than copy and pasting! }

Best winger? HAH

That belongs to ryan hall who has the most assits, Cant agure stats.

Nope I dont know how to ague anything, but I will argue that if you had been to watch the town last night you would be quiet and say, man that Matt Ritchie is some player, not even mentioning Rooney on the other wing....

Swansea are going to sign no one before the end of the day


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

31 Jan 2012 22:57:03
Mancini thinks Man City have been hard done by with recent refereeing decisions! What about the spurs game then you idiot, one of the worst robberies ever seen in a football match or was that the stoke game with Chris Foy!

No one of the worst I have seen is howard webb giving everton a penalty at sunderland for osmans dive, terrible decision, now thats being robbed

31 Jan 2012 22:38:44
