Re: Torquay United v Southend United - 17/11/12

Enjoyed the result today in a perverse sort of way. After years and years of being a tinpot joke of side (let's be honest now...), to lose so badly at home and just be plain old pissed off like fans of any other team rather than looking over your shoulder at some boiling pit of doom like we did for ...
