1-1 HT

The crowd sound like they are getting their money's worth.

Sadly, points aren't awarded until the end of matches.

... but League Tables are published.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

We have a new player,radio said "Cooly slotted home from the penalty spot!"

 

[severnside gull]

sounds like we may be back to a bit of form

enjoyable game - wish I could have been there - our fans are making some great noise

...and what a great day out at Villa Park.

Keep losing Villa

One of my best mates is a Villa fan so I would love for this to happen. Our match there last year was fantastic, best match I've been to. Great stadium, nice fans, a brilliant day out and I'd love to go again, and a good opportunity to show off ours to my friend on the return fixture.

If they did go down it would be shocking, they are a properly big club, not like any of those pretenders we have to listen to.

As a former regular at St Andrew's, I wouldn't be shocked at all. They are the Southampton of the West Midlands.

Glad we're putting on a show here. I'm (drunk) and loving this season. Wish I didn't chose to move to Asia ~(sometimes).

1532: In the Co-Operative Insurance Cup final between Portadown and Lisburn Distillery, meanwhile - which you'll all be watching at the top of this page, I know - it is currently 1-0 to Portadown, the second half getting under way as I type...

Football League Danny: "He Wood, wouldn't he? Chris Wood that is, who - as exclusively hinted at by Football League Danny at 1526 - has levelled for Brighton who are 1-1 at Rochdale. Coventry, meanwhile, lead Watford 1-0 and Reading are beating Portsmouth 1-0."

Oops!

made me laugh - two of my lads are Villains (the other two are bluenoses)

 

[Driver8]

Don't know what they said on the radio but that was never a penalty!

they said it was an absolute stone-waller

 

[Mackenzie]

Swindon losing yet again. They have been shockingly bad this season, with what on paper looks a reasonable squad.

Oh well

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

As a side note, they're playing some great music at halftime up at rochdale, aren't they? So far the jam, the vaccines and the stone roses.

 

[glasfryn]

commentator speaking absolute sense we are a team others are a team...........of individuals who sometimes play very well and other times go missing .......nobody can say we have any slackers

Four boys and not a Brighton supporter amongst them!

Poor show severnside

They are a much bigger team than Southampton! Apart from this year, they usually get a decent position in the table, occasionally going for Europe. Understandable if you're a former Blue though I suppose...

 

[Driver8]

they said it was an absolute stone-waller

They didn't have my view then! I fear the ref may even it up as he likes being the centre of attention.

 

[Silent Bob]

Oops!

To be honest, I don't mind that much if they don't pay much attention to us - we're not a story. We're 99% going to win the league, whereas other things are right up in the air.
What annoys me is when they talk about us but can't bring themselves to give us proper credit.
