    OT is a cracking poster, as is BGD.

    It was funny when you were praying Carver would be sacked and we were praying he wouldn't.

    So you're 1-0 up as things stand <laugh>

    It was a reverse of the Bruce thing a few years ago. Swings and roundabouts. Our club has this in-built ability to shoot itself in its foot at the wrong time.
    I'm honestly just expecting Joe Kinnear to be announced now and then Mike Ashley to rip off his mask, Scooby Doo style to reveal he is actually Peter Reid in disguise.

    I'll take that! 1-0 is a cracking result for us now.

    Is Skalpel still posting?
    I see Tommy Toon has popped back on this forum recently. He's a canny lad.

    He ran the board for a couple of years. Starting to post again after a long break. One of the most intellectual posters these boards have ever had.

    I said, on your board, last week that we were both praying the other would cop for McClaren, good luck.

    At least we've had a year's grace with Advocaat, we won't go wrong with him, but we really need to use that time well.

    The way the top clubs are pulling away the gap will just increase and we'll just be cannon fodder.

    Really down to earth but always able to see the bigger issues on the topics of the day.

    Four years ago?
    I remember a lot of the mag lads chipping in when my Janie died.
    Like I say, I don't do sympathy but all of those people touched my heart.

    Clubs like ours simply can't compete.
    I think the only way to deliver relative success for mid table clubs is for the top 6 to play in a big Euro league full time. This is inevitable one day but it will be sad to see.

    That's how I imagine Skalpel, but with glasses.
