Get your money on Lincoln then after a Lincoln website tips Lincoln for promotion. It'll be so funny if and when it all falls apart.

Completely disses us and waxes lyrical about themselves. Who'd have thought it?

The fookers are obsessed with us.

Don't say anything about Lincoln or we'll have towncryer coming back to correct us on everything said about his Club. He must have a busy life if he's doing that on all the League 2 forums.

Just curious to see how far they think they are above us all of a sudden. Quite funny really.

Bless, they've barely ever even reached the dizzy heights of 3rd tier football before.

The most amusing part is the chap who writes it genuinely think's he's intelligent and he's clearly trying to put it across as though it's well researched yet it's clearly written with a huge bias and the part about us is just wrong. For example: "The natural momentum created by promotion disappeared very early on" when I'm pretty sure we were in the play off positions in November.

Then he follows up with this beauty: "To compound matters, six defenders departed during the summer including Josh Gowling, Shaun Pearson and Danny Andrew, and that degree of experience can be hard to replace". Clearly he's desperate to make it look like we're up against it but the facts are we've added Clarke who has played more games and all at a higher level than any of those defenders who've left. Plus Dixon who played 90 times for Huddersfield in the Championship over a three year period recently and Osborne who was part of the Wimbledon side that got promoted from this division two seasons ago and has played over 100 games further up the FL pyramid.

On the other hand, they've added Neil Eardley who may come good but has struggled with injuries, Sean Long who many of their fans rate behind Bradley Wood (hahaha) and Rob Dickie who played for the all conquering Cheltenham side last season. Plus Waterfall and Howe are still there who are both worse than Shaun Pearson, a player we decided wasn't up to scratch for L2. Other than Raggett who is excellent and Habergham, I know who's defenders I would rather have.

"Manager Russell Slade has somehow managed to be named League One Manager of the Year on two separate occasions without ever having won a single promotion in his 700-game career" but I would argue that getting Yeovil and Leyton Orient to the L1 play off finals is just as big an achievement as getting Braintree to the Conference play off semi's.

Still, we must bow to the superior knowledge of these Lincoln fans who have been watching football for all of the last 8 months when their cup run started. No doubt the vast majority of their new season tickets will swear blind that they were one of the 480 that turned up to BP.
