If this is what the championship has to offer

The gap is certainly closing on the pitch with the Sh1!heads. We could be potentially in the championship next year with them, our stadium and facilities though however is far behind. They still bang on about the fact we ended up in the conference is irrelevant the past is the past.

Or better yet we're in the championship and they are in league one !!

I love the banter and water taking we indulge in with our Red brethren, but I was surprised to see they are ripping into the Ateyo statue on the other thread.

Come on guys, some things are sacrosanct. JA is a legend for the Teds, and we should respect that and leave well alone. I would like to think we're better than that; And I would expect the same respect towards Geoff Bradford should we ever erect a monument to him.

A Sh it head on One Turd who goes by the name of Phantom has copied this post onto the 300 plus page dedicated to the oldest team in Bristol together with the following text :- "And I would question this poster, why were they on OTIB whilst our game was on and being on our match thread"?

A rather clumsily constructed sentence, but I suppose it isn't too bad for a Ted; he is obviously one of the better educated clowns among the support base, I expect he makes a fair few Bob helping the less intelligent morons fill out their benefit claim forms.

However, Phantom old chap, I was at work on Saturday evening, and in any case I wouldn't water on my telly if it was on fire if it was showing your plastic franchise teams. Because I was at work I also wasn't on your hatred and bile filled Rovers thread during the game.

When I got home I checked the result, and highly delighted, I watched the 2 Brighton goals. After wiping the tears of mirth from my eyes I poured myself a cold Thachers and had a read of your highly entertaining match thread. Thank you so much for making my Saturday night.

Now, old bean, perhaps true to your moniker you would like to flit, wraith-like, back to One Turd where you can pass on the above explanation.

Thank you so much.

tripe!!!!

They have an owner who is seriously wealthy and seems determined to have success. At first this was at any cost but as the debts mounted he dreamed up his five pillars of sustainablility, whereby the club had to live within its means. When they survived in league 1 under Clitterell the next season he was allowed to hoover up all the best talent in that league, and they galloped to the title in what was a fairly poor league. Even Sh it heads have said this.

When in the Championship the Duke was prepared to pay big transfer fees, but a combination of a reluctance to pay wages to match the transfer and not wanting to play for that Lady Garden Clitterell meant they were unable to strengthen with the result they struggled.

Lansdown might portray the image of a beaming, avuncular benefactor, but he doesn't tolerate failure, and just like Millen, McWinless and SOD he was knifed in the back by Jon on daddy's orders and the reins handed to the coach who was a safe pair of hands. Once again the sustainability crap was ditched and a fortune was paid out in transfer and loan fees. The Duke had to keep the sh** in the Championship to justify the huge amounts of cash(200 million and counting) he had wasted on them, and he also wanted to keep their asshole fans off his back.

He went after and got Likkle Lee. He has managed to con 3 football clubs into giving him a job whilst actually achieving very little. He is more full of Sh it than his old man, if that is possible, and his leaving was not noticeably grieved at either of his two previous clubs, in fact the fans were glad to see the back of him He tries to come across all considered and intelligent in his interviews and press releases, but to me most of it sounds like bullsh it boll ocks .He is just like his old man in that respect, although he has toned down the jokey cockney element to some extent. The Duke has been well and truly suckers by him, and if it all goes tits up I wonder how long his pride will let him stand by him before he pulls the trigger. I have no doubt Likkle Lee is planning on spending serious money in January, where will they stand with their affordability then?

Interesting times for our Red neighbours, I can only wish them ill.

When I first read that post, I too failed to find any evidence of our fans having a go about the Ateyo statue.

I have had another look and can't find anything.
