Big win coming up for the boys in blue against the Ex Wombles. Fly on the wall told me today that in this morning's meeting Space Telescope told the players to go out and have fun, relegation is way way back in the rear view mirror , promotion is for next year, so go out and entertain the crowd, bring them back for the rest of the home games this year,we need the money because Mrs. S needs a few new bikinis for the Sharjah Holiday Inn Club this summer.

The first of a couple of games over Easter.Hopefully we can get back to winning ways against a side that are right in a relegation battle.It would be nice to be on 52 points tonight fully safe,and then looking at the next target.

NO,NO,NO, THE SEASON IS NOT OVER YET. What the hell are you and these ding bats doing Space Telescope, jjeezzz , we lost to Bradford City,now a bunch of bums like this, what the hell is going on ?? Oh I see two shots on goal say no more.

A disappointing performance and defeat.I thought both Teams were poor.A draw probably would have been a fair result,but gutting to lose it late on.When we equalised I thought we would up it and grab the winner,but I don`t remember their keeper being forced into a save.Lets hope for better at Southend on Monday.
