massively disappointed, sombre drive home. we've thrown so many points away now but those 2 to me felt the worst as we offered nothing after going ahead and you knew they would score. massive investment and upgrades in the next 2 weeks are we're fucked, sadly.

it's time to start the music, it's time to light the lights......

ah, cheers mate. pitbull injury, sort of. they've had a tree harvester thinning the woods where we walk the dogs and it's turned parts of it into a quagmire and obstacle course. fucker spotted a squirrel before I did and went for it, pulled like an ox and I slipped and fell collar bone first on to the edge of a log pile, to much hilarity initially anyway from the wife!

like a twat I went and broke me collar bone on tuesday. I'm still travelling up though and expect to be rewarded for being a brave little soldier with nothing less than a wood debut hat trick.

who cares? when I looked on here at lunchtime the most recent post was 3 days old. I honestly feared we'd lost ct's legendary terrace chants forever.

the best yet. I'm in fucking awe!

oy.... @Christmas Tree song please, I need to limber up the vocal cords ready for the weekend.

I'm.quite relieved we're a bit slow at medicals and stuff. at least I'll recognise most of the team on saturday.

canny bit of reporting there by the bbc's live text updates.... announced a goal for norwich. a few seconds later changed to goal for west ham's jarod bowen. then a couple of more seconds disallowed it altogether! and now he has scored....

these both sound very promising. howay 247, do your stuff.

well done mate. I'm right behind you here.

aye, at least thatcher had the decency to cry like a baby in the car when her time was up.

thank goodness it wasn't because you thought their scouting team had identified somebody more prolific. phew!

he's probably gonna need to score a couple of those half a dozen for us beat watford on saturday. fingers crossed.

welcome aboard. here's hoping for a productive second half of the season.

failing that we could ask them how much they want for the loch ness drogba?

I never thought we'd win the fa cup, nor for that matter did I think it should be something we should be close to prioritising. what I'd like to have happened was to beat a lower half of the third division team at home and carry on some momentum from a good performance and against man utd as well as the signing of trippier. I was under no illusions we'd be signing mbappe this month, but by the same token it's been apparent we needed another striker as well as wilson before his injury and I'm failing to get particularly enthused over rumours over 3 goal chris wood as a potential replacement to get us through the rest of the season and keep us in the same league for the next one. apologies to all the optimists. I was one of you not so very long ago.

oh and I'm on the brink of joining the sopping sheets gang. up for the watford game and I was really hoping to see a win. can't see it now.

every time I see his name mentioned I think of this bloke. he's a british biker. at the very least I'd expect @Kid Dynamite to know just what the fuck it is I'm on about!

aston villa won't be relegated this season. we're staring at it down both barrels currently. oh and there's obviously the 'erm' factor.

certainly not in january '13 ah the heady days of ashley's reign.

it's been a weekend somewhat on the deflating side.

I'm admittedly no clarko, so I'm sure there's much more in depth stats out there if you care to look for them. but.... wood has played in 17 league games, 3 league cup and 1 fa cup and chipped in with 3 goals and no assists. so says the bbc. as we've only got 19 games left and assuming he carried on in the same vein then it would appear he's not really gonna have much impact on our desperate cause.

I'd rather have mitrovic back.
