Ever noticed that Valley Parade, Ibrox and more notably Heysel are rarely mentioned? No second enquiries, no Justice campaign, no decades of looking for a body to blame.
Wonder what would happen if the Heysel victims families sued Victimpool FC for the behaviour of their fans?

As such it is impossible to make a comparison with us because we are being run by numptys and could hardly fill a subs bench this season. I don't understand the comparison you make between the managers at all. Hill got the sack and Allen has been hopeless. They finished four points above us with an equal goal difference of -7. I don't see how that makes them any better than us on the field at all.

In fact you might argue that Nicholson has done a better job than Hill or Allen on the resources he has at his disposal. In spite of what you say Eastleigh were a laughing stock at times this season their form was that bad.

Potentially our crowds could be on a par with theirs because our crowd of 4000 at the last game just shows that to be the case. If Eastleigh were run by Dave Phillips, Clarke Osborne and co I wonder what their crowds would be then - probably something less than a 1000 I guess.

Its not a question of mocking their league position - they have more resources than us in terms of budget etc etc and have failed spectacularly this season. There isn't anything idiotic about that at all. In January and February this year they managed a total of ZERO wins. They are obviously doing something wrong.

Paying big money to donkeys who would be better employed trundling up and down Paignton beach just goes to show that it isn't a route to success. Reid, Strevens, Tubbs, McAllister, Constable - all over the hill, just backed up by their results on the field.

Been reading the forums for a while now, but seeing as the new season is only around the corner I'd actually bother to create an account!

For a bit if fun, I thought I'd see what fans think the result would be if we compared both last seasons opening lineup vs the possible lineup this season for the game against Macclesfield.

Speiss - Moore Better
Butler - LRT Worse
Hurst - Verma Worse
Geohaghon - Mcginty Probably Better
Smith - Gerring Worse
Macdonald - Lathrope Not really comparable
Fenwick - Young Better (by a fair amount)
Carmichael - Chaney Worse
Murombedzi - Sparkes Better
Fisher - Williams Better
Quigley - Blissett Better

Honest opinions please

Now I am confused! Rowe Turner is a left back yes? so either we have signed 2 (and have 3 on the books) or Mcginty will play as centre back?!
