Season 2013/14

Billy Sharp? There's no way he's dropping to League 1, he'd do a job at most Championship sides.

S.O'D, he has a habit of players liking to play for him. JET has said he won't be leaving as long as S.O'D is our manager, or at least wanting to leave. Sharp has also been a player under S.O'D 2 or 3 times as well. Apparently it wouldn't happen because of his wages, but we're losing a fair chunk of wage come Jan with Shorey (who may have his extended) O'Connor and Kilkenny's contracts expiring. That's a good 10k there i'd expect in wages.

Why do you do abbreviations when naming players? I've figured out who S'OD is but JET? Isn't she a gladiator (panther was my favourite FYI)?

JET is Jay-Emmanuel Thomas I think. Could be and probably am wrong.

As for United, I think we've turned a small corner, our form has improved and we are unbeaten in our last 8 games, provided a few of them were draws, but the Arsenal win has given us a confidence boost and we're only 5 points behind Arsenal and 1 off Chelsea who are 4th. The form of Rooney has been a real plus, as well as the performance of Smalling and Jones against Arsenal.

yeah JET is Emmanuel-Thomas, can't be bothered to type it every time

funny thing is old nutter allen is a good survival manager and won league two, you'd think he'd be ideal to get you at least safe for one season. We're doing badly because of the players, be mad if we sacked Davis just because some players are shite.

exactly and he was well popular with fans done a lot for them even if it was mental stuff .

Exeter have gone utterly to shite again. 5 straight losses, no home goals in three games, attendances dropping, and a manager who's unsackable due to his contract.

Well we are on Tv tonight(coverage on now ) . Against a non league team who we scrapped a replay with in 97th minute , .

But we beat Sheffield away at weekend and brackleys keeper is suspended so hopefully we should smash them

you're 1 down apparently. Good job you sacked the manager... We got battered again. We need january badly to fuck off some of the bad eggs.

Never a red card for wes brown. Begonia should of been sent off for kicking fletcher in the face. If it was the other was round fletcher would of walked!

Not arguing the result. Stoke edges it but I think 11 v 11 would of been a different game

best tackle of the season that was. Gus is right, don't appeal, FA have to stand up and say it's not a red on their own. In the refs defence, long after the perfect tackle was complete, he followed through with two legs on thin air... More commonly known as physics, as he couldn't defy gravity to stand up while still sliding on wet grass.

also, despite Crewe losing once again to fucking Vale, we might be able to move on now. Not one player has been charged in what we can now call false rape claims, so we can blame the first half of the season on some stupid slag, and move forward as a team. We now have 4 goalkeepers though with Etheridge on loan. So if anyone needs a goalkeeper on loan please take Alan 'happy on the bench' Martin. Hope we sign some more Fulham kids soon.

Exeter are still utter shite. From joint top on goal-difference to thirteenth, one goal in 5 games and 6 straight losses in all competitions is a shocking run of form. Last week when Southend turned us over, Tisdale announced he's be dropping his regular guaranteed starters who were in abysmal form. Instead, he dropped the two kids who did well (one of them - Matt Grimes. Remember the name, one of the most promising players we've produced in decades) and kept the ones who aren't performing.

Hodge, if you still Sercombe, you'd be welcome to him. In fact, most of the homes fans would happily drive him up the M5 to you on current form.

Don't bother think we're getting to see how good local CM's are in Pack atm, hasn't delivered anything near as described how good he is, I know its a division step up but we've only seen rare glimpses of anything that would be even thought of being classed as well... class

Wayne Rooney got away with a booking...

Rooney kicked out, but it was a glorified trip ffs lol. And I dislike Rooney alot of the time, but come on it wasn't anything like the one on Suarez which it's being lumped in with. Funny as that was!

Pack is either unfit or not very mobile in my opinion.

Cheltenham tended to play three in the middle, with Pack sat back as the guy banging balls over the top and picking the passes. From what I've seen of Bristol City this season, you've been playing 2 in the middle, and he's not mobile enough to cope.

Incidentally, I'm off to watch BCFC play Orient tomorrow night.

I'm watching them away to Preston Saturday. Fair enough for pack then but he won't fit in our midfield then because we play 4411 JET can't play up top alone so we can only play 2 in CM

Mate of mine at work is completely torn about JET. On one hand, he hates that the team is set up around him, and whenever he rants about it, JET then scores to shut him up!

13 out of 13 in the league now, 11 points clear with a game in hand, GD +44, 17 games won in a row overall. Only British team with 100% league record

How boring Fergie haha. Last few months of the season you could play the backroom staff ffs!

The tea lady needs a wee run out.

Hodge, bristol city last night looked really good. You went three at the back, wing backs and three in the middle. Pack had a hell of a game, baldock got man of the match, but it should have been pack. Barely wasted a pass, you were the better side from about 15 minutes onwards. Orients second was an absolute howler from the keeper, their first was a hell of a finish from outside the box.

Keep going like that, you'll be free from relegation by Christmas.

I saw the goals earlier, Parish is usually alright so put the howler down as a one off. Good to hear Pack had a good game, when we signed him its one of few signings in the last few years I was excited about. Hopefully his inconsistency is just adapting to league 1. Good goals from Baldock as well from what I saw.

How did JET do?

JET had one of his quieter games. Had a couple of efforts, but did little of note.
