Re: Steve Cotterill Sacked by Forest

I wouldn't have too much sympathy for Cotterill. He walked out on Stoke to take up a position with Sunderland. When it suits managers, they'll forget the contracts they've signed, so it works both ways.

Also, if I'd spent millions on a club, I would want to choose the manager.

Re: The Euro 2012 Thread

What does everyone think, about counting down the seconds before kick off at the Euros? Absolutely not!! It's the kind of thing you do with nursery kids. Football doesn't need tacky gimmicks like that. Is there anything else people would bring to plainmoor from the euros? Ronaldo, Torres, Gomes, .....

Re: If Pompey go out of business.......

Before the season is not officaly over so it would save Coventry, after the season is over so it would save who ever finish's 4th bottom in league 1. I'm not sure that would work. If Coventry are reprieved and three teams get promoted, then the Championship would have one too many teams. As Portsmo...

Re: Going into the final 3 games – the fight for promotion

What could happen ... Torquay win their next two games ... Hereford beat Northampton, and hopefully beat Crawley ..... Crawley beat Dagenham, and as said already, lose to Hereford .... And Barnet lose to Southend (Friday) and draw at home to Wimbledon .... Then both Torquay and Hereford would only n...

Re: Any of US already celebrating promotion? i dint think so

Strange indeed, Gazza, out of the Torquay fan's I have spoken, I have not heard a single fan say, we are already up, and where is thier a single post on here claiming we are already up, I can't see one.

Re: End of season celebration party!

Have you considered that we might be playing in a play-off game that night? Hopefully play-offs won't be necessary, but it was just a thought.

I'm not sure if it's been decided yetwhether it will be League 1 or 2 game, but Sky are planning to show a play-off game that night.

The key word in the 'law' is 'BOTH'.

As Eunan was not nearer to his opponents' goal line than the ball (when passed), then it wasn't 'both'. So he was onside.

Take a £20 pound note, tear it into small pieces, and flush it down the toilet.

Re: John Terry

The same Gerrard who viciously punched a man in the face at a nightclub and then denied it before being found guilty? I thought Gerrard was found 'Not Guilty', as the jury (Liverpool supporters no doubt) accepted that it was self-defence. Even though the other guy didn't actually throw any punches,...

You think it's acceptable to use the term 'faggot' (in the thread about the Hotel TV programme), so I don't understand what your point is?

Mid-table Torquay

I noticed the following stats for us: Points won against top half teams 5 from 27 (P9 W0 D5 L4 F12 A22) Points won against bottom half teams 26 from 33 (P11 W8 D2 L1 F20 A4) If anything suggests we're destined for mid-table this season, it's those stats. I'm quite surprised to find that we haven't b...
