Following on from the Swindon thread, there has usually been a close correlation between railway towns and the lower divisions of the rubbish League:

Swindon Town
York City
Crewe Alexandra
Darlington

According to Sky Sports, poor old Darlington had to cancel their supporters coach today because they had only 8 bookings for their visit to Torquay United.

Talking about GBH wasn't there a bit of grievous between Pulis and Beattie in the changing room afterwards?

Actually from reading your posts, it is quite clear you don't get it, but then to be honest that isn't a surprise. One of the amusing things about discussing footie with glory hunters is their inability to see the wider picture in the same way a genuine footie fan would.

Lets face it, with the talent the Arse have in their team, they should be beating sides like Stoke, Bolton and Burnley, whether home or away, and yet last night they slipped back into their old ways again. I was listening to the commentary driving home and the radio commentators were quite clear on how after the first 20 mins, actually Arsenal looked distinctly uncomfortable against a side vastly inferior, but who were committed and with passionate backing behind them on a cold lancashire night. It has been a trait of Arsenal over the last few years that they haven't faired well in that type of game, and winning tough games at Anfield counts for nothing if you can't follow that up by beating the lower teams in the league!

Full credit to Burnley and to Owen Coyle who I still believe is doing a fantastic job, but Arse really need to start winning those type of games if they are to catch the likes of Chelsea and ManUre.

Once again TP has shown a lot of professionalism and common sense in the way he has handled a difficult situation - in the way both he and Peter Coates did last year when Wenger threw his toys out of his pram big style and acted in very bad grace because he lost!

See the makems (S*****land) are now trying to play billiards on a rubbish pitch. Their goal against Liverpool was definately "in off the red". They could never play rubbish anyway.

I don't suppose the Liverpool fans can complain about the other ball being on the pitch, after all it was one of them who threw it on !

Hmmmmm.........wonder what the co-owner Liverpool supporter was doing yesterday at approx 15:05 ?

I must admit, the goal from Darren Bent’s deflected shot off the beach ball was rather fortunate. However, Reina should have used some common sense and got rid of the beach ball earlier since there was the possibility it would bounce around in the goal area and cause problems

It’s starting to look like there’s only one team in the North East and they play at The Stadium of Light

Just like there’s only one team in London

Can any southern male hen and joint between the ankle and hip confirm that the aforementioned (male hen and joint between the ankle and hip) teams are planning to petition the premier league to play Blackburn at home every week ?
