    I don't have as bad a memory as you, this isn't the first bad run this season.

    I think we'll win Forestugh but lose Borough and then they'll take off and we'll be left farting about in the play offs where we probably lose in the semis to the pigs.

    Would you not agree that points on the board is a far better position to be in than games in hand, and having to play catch up.

    Sure you'd rather have the points on the board but it doesn't mean they've practically won the title like some are implying.

    The only way they can guarantee the title is if they win every game from now until the end of the season, if they don't its still up for grabs.

    Really ? I thought MK Dons were by far the worst time wasters I've seen for years at the KC

    MK Dons took the cake.

    Other bad time wasters included DQPR in 2006/7 and Pardew's CAFC in 2007/8.

    What is it with these cockney ****s?

    1.the ref should have sorted out the timewasting and booked their keeper - he didn't
    2. Brucie doesn't have a clue how to break teams down
    3. Brucie doesn't have a clue about tactics - each game is groundhog day
    4. Brucie's gameplan is defend, slow build up, pass to the wings and pump it into the middle
    5 whatever happens at the end of this season, Brucie has to go

    Re the time wasting. He added 8 minutes on. I've never seen time wasting punished so effectively. They usually give the keeper a token yellow in the 93rd minute.

    Yeah, I was so expecting about 4 minutes to be given, considering how the ref was going about it, but to be fair he obviously was taking note.

    The question is, how can you have 8 minutes and NOT book anyone at some point for time wasting?

    I thought the 8 minute thing was great. More time for us when the home team were likely to be in the ascendancy. Alas we couldn't capitalise.

    Watford a few years ago. The one where we had the last laugh when Roberto Koren struck sweetly with about three seconds left. Beautiful...

    Yes. It doesn't hand them the title though.

    Well clearly because the 8 minutes nullifies the effect of their time wasting?

    They might have been the worst but certainly not the first to do it this season.

    They have an excuse, their bottom of the table fighting for their lives. For Brighton and Wednesday to do it at 0-0 was pretty disappointing.

    A clued-up chairman or CEO would be offering subsidised or free travel up there to make sure we have a big noisy following given that it's a televised game and people will think twice before opening their wallets.

    unfortunately our owners are ****ing idiots who think the tickets are too cheap and the Riverside will be plagued with touts selling tickets on the black market

    I have never said Burnley were going to win the title.
