Ah, thank you for that

[barney]

Gillingham have the accolade of being the club with the furthest to travel this season

A whopping 8,747 miles

[JillD66]

I couldn't resist a challenge and obviously have nothing to do until 3 o'clock!

Aldershot Town supporters will travel 7454 miles this year! Cant wait for Barrow away - 600 miles round trip!

Have a good season barney

[oldbluefox]

Welcome to the footie thread Jill. Keep in touch with Aldershot's ups and downs.

[oldbluefox]

Far be it for me to crow but have you seen who is top of the Prem?
Six goal thriller at the King Power this afternoon, if you are a Foxes fan.
Not sure whether to sing 'We are top of the league' or 'We are staying up'.
I'll enjoy it while I can.

I see Mob's lot are 6th. Calm down, son, we don't have play-offs in the Prem.
I expect barney will be cock-a-hoop after a 4-o win.
I'll not mention Huddersfield and Aldershot.................

[Manoverboard]

See, Foxy, I told you Tinkerbell was a waste of space

[oldbluefox]

As long as he keeps coming up with results like today he can tinker as much as he likes. It was a great performance.
Good result for your lot against The Toffees.

[Manoverboard]

A very good result for us newbie Hornets, three of the goals are top drawer too ...

[barney]

What a performance that was against the bookies favourites

A wonderful afternoon out

THAT is why we are football fans.

[towny44]

Start the season as you mean to go, I hope that's not going to apply to Hudds Town!

[JillD66]

It started so well.......... On to Tuesday and away to Cheltenham!!

Bet you enjoyed your Saturday afternoon barney!

RB

[oldbluefox]

Who's a happy bunny tonight? Won at a ground where we normally get nothing and top of the Prem. Will enjoy it while I can.
Everybody else making a draw? Should have had you on the Pools.

[Manoverboard]

Another good result OBF although it seems you may have been lucky to escape an equalising penalty shout

We drew, should have won but could have lost and this was the Hornet's first 0:0 since the season before last .... thanks Tony

Not really. It was good refereeing.

[RB1961]

Nice one foxy.....good team West Ham..

One game played and we are already under pressure.

Moby the point you got today away from home against another potential struggler could be important come May.

RB

[barney]

A very good point away for us at Port Vale

Still unbeaten

I rather fancy Palace to get smashed by a vengeful Arsenal today, but what do I know

[towny44]

Hudds still cannot keep a clean sheet, so we threw away 2 points against Blackburn yesterday, not too hopeful we will get anything against Brighton on Tuesday.

[JillD66]

Not a happy bunny- Tuesday, at Cheltenham we had the most exciting 0 - 0 draw I've ever seen - Saturday must've been a different team who just stood off Wrexham and let them have 70% of the game!

Never mind, there's still another 43 games to play!

I will not be depressed... its just a game....its just a game....

Poor defending for the goal against us - one centre half lost out in an aerial challenge and the other hadn't tracked his man, leaving a simple finish. To be fair, for a few minutes before the goal it did look like it was coming, but apart from that, Blackburn were pretty poor. I don't agree with Chris Powell however that it was a good performance. It was an ok performance. I still think that we'll get all 3 points tomorrow night though, Towny.

[barney]

We've got Bradford Away tomorrow Romig so another long journey for our boys

They are not the force they were without Wells up front.

Hanson is a pain but they are very route one.

They have sold 18k season tickets which is remarkable

Reckon we'll get another away point

Good luck to your boys tomorrow Barney.

18k season tickets isn't all that remarkable, when you consider they were giving them away with every purchase of a pack of chewing-gum (or some such nonsense)

[Manoverboard]

All the best to the Cherries tonight ... but can they / can't they get a point at Liverpool ?

[oldbluefox]

Excitement at West Ham where the Cherries came out top in a 7 goal thriller. Well done!
Aldershot banged in 4 away from home so Jill will be happy, as will barney with his team's performance.
Our draw specialists made another draw. Must remember to have them on the coupon. How many draws is that they have had.
And we made a draw against Spurs. Quite happy with that as they are a strong side, more so away from home.
Frank, what happened to Luton?
