Away to a high-flying side? Easy 3 points surely! Home vs strugglers? Nope, nothing so was lucky to get 3 points against Rochdale. What a funny Gills side this is when we look at tricky away sides and aren't concerned about a thumping! Have a 5-0 to avenge from last season!

RRRREEEEEEEE DIK U LUSS, just SSTTTOOOOOOOPID, hahaha , WWWOOWW HHHOOO GO GILLS. MAGIC STUFF. If it's the sthe Space Telescope, thats doing this then Scally you had better get him under contract for the next five years, or else he will be snapped up by someone like Sunderland, QPR, Hull or Bolton. I guess it's the players, a team of nobodies climbing the division like a bunch of monkeys in a banana tree , or is it the fact Scully may have gone back to the UAE and left the management team to manage,you guys are there seeing all this , please you tell me??
Fantastic result 3-1 and against a team that outshot us 25-10, seems crazy, wish I had been there to see this one.

Guess if our mighty leader had hired the space telescope instead of Aby, Annie, Arnie what ever his name was when the clown from Spurs was sacked we would now be looking to replace Burton next season. OH hind sight how wonderful you are.

And just out of interest and to spoil the party here is Gillinghams home record....W 3...D 7....L 4 ... total points out of a possible 42.....16. So after a lot of thunks about this I honestly think..........................................YOU BASTARDS ARE TO BLAME, it's all your fault , no one else's just you guys fault, all 5,000 of you that go to home games, oh and HIM from down under, but NOT a certain lady beginning with L for Luscious and Lovely and of course Ms Fanny M, just the other 4,999 of you. What a win,what a win, GO GILLS.

A very good win against another inform side,and a side who have been decent at home lately.We`re fantastic on the road at the moment,it`s hard to believe! All three goals were well taken,and the defence was strong.Massive credit to Lovell,his staff,and the players.Such a big turn around!
