The Football.....

Contrary to the chants from our inbred cousins, there are in fact two teams in Bristol. By referring to Bristol Rovers, or indeed, Bristol City as "Bristol" you mildly irritate both sets of fans. Sadly, we don't have a handy shortening like ManU so unless the wind up is intentional (fair game in this thread) it would be nice to refer to us as Bristol Rovers. Or The Gas, Rovers, those southern nancies etc.. Just something to differentiate us from City. When you say "Bristol" that refers to the eggchasers.

That said, its all down to the final game. We have Dagenham & Redbridge at home. A team who have found form about 35 matches too late. I shall also be cheeing Wycombe again.

I didn't see the need to add the Rovers name. I thought people would suss i was on about your team due to the league we share.We play Stevenage next Saturday. I did say to the others i stand with, at the beginning of the season that it'd be ironic if we had to beat them to win promotion, seeing they beat us in the play offs 5 years ago. They laughed, saying promotion?!, are you on something! We are two clubs who do not get on! They'd love to spoil our party again. Good luck for next Saturday. I hope you go up, but not at our expense.

So the BBC news are leading on Leicester at 6am, nothing like building expectations. I have a feeling it isn't going to happen this weekend.

Im not so sure @The Velvet Curtain ..

 

[AndyRM]

I'm with @The Velvet Curtain, probably a scoreless draw I reckon. Then smash Everton at home to win the league.

The Beeb love in is a little tiresome. Leicester aren't my 'second team' (that's Juventus, because Del Piero is the player that got me hooked on football) and never will be.

Wycombe Tigers Athletic?

One more win @Accy cyclist ! All the best to you for next Saturday. The mighty Shrews scraped league 1 safety yesterday (due to Blackpool and Doncaster's incompetence!!) so will look forward to visiting your proper little football ground again next season.

I think it will happen, but not today, when Chelsea beat Spurs tomorrow

That is my thinking, it would be too much like a film script to wrap it up at Old Trafford. An agonising wait on a wet Monday evening is more Leicester's style.

Damn, the Mancs are winning 1-0.

Edit... Leicester have just equalised.

I didn't realise the Man Utd score affected your promotion hopes Accy

 

[Dayvo]

Will it be 0, 1 or 3 points at home to Everton?

assuming you've got any left.
