| Ugly match ..again we dominated the early stages and got the early goal from yet another set piece,following the trend we then took our foot of the gas and let Oxford back into it with a wonderful goal. Second half ebbed and flowed really, Oxford hitting the post a few times and generally having the better of the game, don't think we really worked their keeper at all in the second half. Final whistle went and was a blessed relief for me not because of staying up but because of potentially not having to sit through the dire, negative, and bland style of football under CF and his players next season..hope and pray we can get someone in next season to take us forward. Not sure what the crowd was, lots of noise at the end from the Aviva,s and Forza Nerd all cheering about finishing 20ht ish in League 2...how very village. |

| See again we score early and then do feck all. I can't see Fletcher changing his style next season. If there was no pitch invasion does that mean we get our new striker? Signing Steve Fletcher on a permanent deal?
Unless he was injured can't understand why Macdonald was on the bench. |

Aviva till the end "To the doubters" FFS! They really don't get it, do they. Finishing 21st in this dog shit division (we won't finish any higher) I'd say the "doubters" have pretty much been proved right about brent and his useless 'manager'. It's a good job only two teams go down. This season has been a disgrace. |

This season has been a disgrace. FFS Freathy. Are you like this at home with non-Argyle things? Yes, finishing 20th is shit. It is officially our worst season ever but bearing in mind everything that has gone on we have survived. Next season will be the test of the owner and manager and I'll be with you if we're 20th next season. I'm with other people tonight who are raising a glass (mainly half full) to the end of a shit season but one in which we were bottom at Christmas and survived with 2 games to spare. Give it up for a couple of days. |

| Very much enjoyed the ATD company (and beer) today. The game itself? Well, not so much, but a better performance that last week at The County Ground. Better in that we played for and created some chances.

Give it up for a couple of days. Totally understand where the Freathster is coming from. Yes, it's good that we're still in the league, of course it is, but it's the celebration of failure that irks somewhat. We have been rubbish this season, the worst side I can remember in 50 years or so, and yet people are still happy clappy and think everything's wonderful and we're going to win the league next year. To do that major surgery is needed, and that will mean the owner doing something that he hasn't done so far - spend some money. The excuse of 'we're not going to cheat' isn't going to hold water any longer. |

The excuse of 'we're not going to cheat' isn't going to hold water any longer. PP - Yes I understand where both you and Freathy are coming from. We're celebrating being pretty shit but after everything over the past 18 months I was questioning Freathy's timing and perspective. I know he's a one trick pony but I bit. Tonight is the night to crack open a nice red and partially celebrate our escape. As I said if we're here again this time next year then he's a guru but as someone else mentioned a few months ago Freathy's viewpoint is even more relevant if he calls the upturn, because we will improve. |

We did? I'm glad I was (am) suitably beered up so as not to really notice, one way or the other! |

| Well I don't understand where Freathy is coming from one little bit. The celebration is because at one point if not more this season we were dead and buried and have finally come good, yes good, and avoided the dreaded drop with room to spare. Why the feck should people not celebrate? And Freathy and others you were absolutely dead wrong this time with your predictions of doom. You may have predicted the fate so far but this one you got wrong and I for one am chuffed as a badger in mating season.
This season was a complete and utter write off as we all know but given the circumstances of the start and the Administration, it has or is ending on a high where we have not gone the way that was expected. Next season is a long way off right now and obviously more will be expected. But that is then and this is now. Raise a glass you miserable bastards and never mind the happy clappy labels or the Aviva label or anything else. Even the matchday thread has to contain some reference to Newell or Webb. Give it a feckin rest just for one day for christ sake. |

Deep Throat replied "Don't worry boss, The T is dead in the water, repeat The T is dead in the water. Mission Accomplished. Over" |

| Well I was celebrating at the end and I don't care who knows it. This season does not represent failure. It represents triumph over failure. It is an end not an end to itself. |

We only very narrowly avoided being expelled from the football league (for being too shit). I really don't think we were that far wrong. And I expect more of the same next season. |

| feck it. We're safe. Have a few beers, ciders or a few glasses of wine. Don't call it celebrating it you don't feel it's worth celebrating, but have a few for relief then. Relief that we're not going to Ebbsfleet next season.
It'll still be a season in a shit league, but it could have been a season in a shitter league. That's got to be worth having a drink over? |
