If we're going to make it so we can only discuss things that you'll win the argument with it'll be no fun at all!

I would say this season has been quite successful with regards to the cups. We would normally do exactly what we've done this year with regards to embarrassing county cup exits, doing sod all in the Trophy etc but we'd also go out of the FA Cup early too.

Reaching the FA Cup 1st Round Proper is certainly cup success in my book.

Quite how you can compare losing to Epsom & Ewell in the Surrey Senior Cup with a weakened side to losing to a side at the same step in the massively important and financially rewarding FA Cup i'm not too sure. It really isn't the same thing.

You'd have killed for Leiston's cup run, i can't imagine you would be so keen on Epsom & Ewell's Surrey Senior Cup campaign.

Incidentally, while i'm trotting out New Labour style statistics to suit my means, our excellent home record has actually yielded one more point than your excellent away record, so, as of today, i am Top Trump

Btw, are Big Phil and Bash still injured?

I don't think its just NuLab that trots out statistics to suit their ends now is it? Statistics can be fun though - try winning money in the pub by betting that the next person to come through the door has more than the average number of legs.

Anyway, Phil is coming up for a 3 match ban having just got back from surgery and after the Tonbridge game was on crutches trying for the sympathy vote. Bash is currently somewhere with Tony Quinton, Darren Anderton and Shergar forging sicknotes.

I know we're always looking to see if you've got beat!!

We're having him completely rebuilt, hips, ankles, knees, the lot.

In fact we're fitting him with caterpillar tracks as well, the better to negotiate your pitch.

scorpioeyes: I predicted a relegation struggle with a totally inexperienced manager. Hope I am wrong, but it doesn't look like it. MG is out of his depth,that's obvious. Sept 3, 2019 22:59:54 GMT

ggl: So are we now saying we have a manager who is not in favour of bringing in loan players and if the board decided to part company with him they cannot afford to do so ? Oct 23, 2019 8:21:42 GMT

historyboy: So sorry to hear about the passing of Eddie Clack. I Remember him well. Oct 24, 2019 17:13:12 GMT

historyboy: Sad to hear of the passing of Eddie Cack, I remember him well. I think that the said photograph publishsed by the club, of him sitting next to Dave Hermitage, isn't him at all; I think the picture shows Micky Goodall. Compare other pictures of both. Oct 24, 2019 17:27:34 GMT

scorpioeyes: It certainly would be 'convenient' for Dover to have the season washed out. if they fail to turn up tomorrow,we should be awarded the game and 3-0 to our goal difference.Why should we be inconvenienced by any attempts to rearrange the game? Feb 15, 2021 10:45:15 GMT

Burtie: Hello chaps. Is there any intelligence about the crowd situation for the game vs Hartlepool on 22 May? Does the club have a position on supporters? Apr 24, 2021 17:02:01 GMT

scorpioeyes: I think these odds are quite amazing. If I was a neutral looking at the recent form and upcoming fixtures,I'd make hartlepool or perhaps Torquay as fave for the title. To have 'pool at 9s and us as evens is bizarre. Apr 30, 2021 17:21:02 GMT

scorpioeyes: yes,'arrogant' is the right word. No objectivity allowed! May 8, 2021 12:10:13 GMT

valiant: Hello again! Can you tell me where the away seating is please? I thought it was behind the goal next to the away terrace but looking at the film on Quest I can't see it! Thanks. Oct 5, 2021 11:00:22 GMT

pinewalker: There is a temporary stand at 45 degrees to the pitch behind the NE corner flag, and there is more away seating at the east end of the main stand both accessed via the away turnstiles. Oct 5, 2021 14:33:57 GMT

neil: My father used to take to watch Queens Park Rangers back in the late 60's (I recall he knew one of the Directors at the club). I still have many programmes from that time through the 70's. Happy Days ! Nov 22, 2021 9:42:42 GMT

holmesdale96: Sorry to hear of Danny's death, a real loss. I saw him regularly during the 90's at his home in Streatham, always charged the same small fee for years, an absolute gentleman with his dear wife Rose. RIP Danny Sept 13, 2023 21:01:09 GMT

scorpioeyes: So we have a situation where people from both sides of any argument can say they are 'uncomfortable' in the presence of the opposing view. Who is to say which side is correct or justified? Sept 2, 2024 16:49:19 GMT
