Lanzarote Friday - so tootle pip then. Oh, and we still have Fabrice so what's to worry about?

June 18

the npower Championship if you please

relegation decided on matchday 38 - but there was plenty of shite in the 37 before it that's sealed our fate. Lots of pivotal moments but across 38 games just not good enough. A manager out of his depth, horrendous injuries, Muamba... take your pick but simply: JUST NOT BARCLAYS PREMIER LEAGUE STANDARD

I'll bet npower are fucking loving the fact that walking advert man Coyle is heading their way

can you fucking believe this? Come on you blue twats

big advocate of 45 minute football!

save the abuse til 5 - it will be warranted then. Not before

The team stayed overnight at the Crewe Hall hotel on the outskirts of Crewe. Bit surprised at that for a 60 mile journey. OC obviously wanted to keep them together - good for team spirits. If it works and we survive, next season instead of a week away in Dubai, I hear South Cheshire is quite nice this time of year.

Bang on Darwen - a truly dark day in British football history

Whilst we are all getting tetchy about the outcome of a game of football in 48 hours or so, please spare a thought on the 27th anniversary of the fire at Valley Parade, for the 56 souls who went to a match full of celebration never to return home. RIP

Malcolm, when you referred to the Ipswich game I prefer to draw comparisons with the one where we were 4 up at HT when Bobic scored 3. Not the one Bad Baz won for them via his stuffed brown cash bag. Admittedly we had better personnel then, but that was a do-or-die PL fixture that saw us destroy our opponent from the off. Bollocks to cautiousness (if there is such a word) just go and win the fucker. Let QPR mull over the goal that never was for 15 years and see how the Cockney cunts like it

Cheers Traf - in that case offer revoked

is she a MILF Crawley? If so, I wouldn't mind first dibs - but you'd have to have her back Saturday night ok?

I watch (or have watched) predominantly L2 football over the last five seasons - next year happily will be L1. I fell out with the BPL when all this money came into the League and Jonny Foreigner's were flooding 1st XIs up and down dale (hence the English national team lurching from one embarrassment to another). Leagues may end up becoming regionalised again to help clubs survive. Looking at Chester, AFC Telford and Wrexham - there's three clubs who have all had rotten businessmen at the helm and suffered greatly as a consequence. Why are so many of these Chairmen brilliant in their chosen fields but become like Mr. Bean when they get their hands on football clubs? Darlington the latest example quitting their 25,000 seater home that they never once filled and likely to be an Evo Stik club next season! But does anyone even care? Do they fuck, cos the world begins and ends with the BPL. I won't miss the fucker - in fact, I don't since I left it behind me in 2007. So to get back on topic, is it bollocks life or death. Will you miss Garth Smug Twat Crooks? I rest my case

Forget the last 11 years. Here's a list off the top of me head of fallen Prem clubs who have experienced L1 or 2 in recent years: both Sheff clubs, Forest, Leeds, City, Saints, Leicester, Reading, Oldham, Charlton, Swindon, Bradford, QPR, Coventry & Pompey. Many of those have had serious financial problems - sound familiar? Be afraid. Be very afraid.

I'll be gutted if we go down on Sunday, but I'm closing in on the big 5-oh, so I could name 10 occasions following the Whites down the years where I'll have felt a lot worse - particularly in my younger years. The BPL isn't a competition we could ever hope to win and there are some big names in the Championship. It's the threat of falling like a skydiver without a parachute that fills me with dread - not what might happen at the Brit and/or the Etihad.

it was at the same time that I became aware of his constant referral to the sponsors name every single time he mentioned what league we were in/wanted to be in at the end of the season* *delete where applicable PS: Next year it will be the npower Championship every post match

Can Owen be Trusted to spend? Hmm.....Eagles. Mears. Wheater. Tuncay. Blake. Pratley..... that'll be a no then

Fuckin' hell, looks like most of 'em have been smacked off their tits since August

the relegated mob from 1979-80 was pretty biz to be fair - that was summat like 5 wins out of 42 in the old Div One and some gates were below 10,000 at BP towards the end - I remember that.

First was Guimaraes but was bladdered so deffo overdid it that day. Marseille was a three day trip - flew into Nice, stayed over to watch the Chelsea v Barca ECL tie at the Bridge then drove down to Marseille early doors to hit the square, and stopped over after the game at the Velodrome. Munich was Weds to Sat, went back to Alianz for stadium tour the day after our game and there were still some BWFC colours in away section. The fucker was all in German though (WTF?) That was my fave Euro by a mile. Madrid, we had Tony Kelly in tow for another three-dayer and it was fucking great cos he never had to put his hand in his pocket all of the stay with Whites buying him his preferred tipple - Coke!

Quite a few referring to Coyle as clueless. I think that chain of thought began in July when he took our Barclays Premier League team to some outpost in South Wales, for a known Newport clogger to get his Andy Warhol moment by nobbling our best player. That, and the fact the 30,000 of us still find it hard to forgive the Wembley choke effect. Any positive result I would take right now just to give us a fighting chance on the last day (remember the Pie Men at Stoke last day last season?) That's the heart. The head? 1-2, and all but down.

Defeat on Sunday coupled with a QPR win over Stoke means it's curtains. Both are a distinct possibility and you won't need calculators for the last day becuase of the goal difference - you don't get 10 goal swings these days

Only my second visit to the Stadium this season - the last one saw us taught a footballing lesson by the Pie Eaters so maybe I should stay away? On both occasions, I thought we were ever so predictable. I see most teams in the Prem move the ball with a real purpose with excellent passing and moving but we just look laboured. Occasional spells of possession but very little end product as we go Route One way too often. It amazed me that what Spurs did in 10 seconds, Wanderers took a minute to do effectively the same thing. Coyle is a motivator not a tactician I've said it before. I don't see the club dispensing with his services whatever the outcome and my biggest fear isn't relegation. It's staving off the threat of administration with gates of around 12,000 if we do fall through the trapdoor and end up being another Pompey. On a plus point, our side is full of Championship players, so there is a chance that they will feel more at home next season.
