I have taken the plunge and taken a look at the Lincoln Vital site and I really don't think I have seen anything like it. If we were playing Man City tomorrow I don't think they would be as confident of victory as the Lincoln lot.  Apparently we are "cannon fodder", a "shithole", what is the point in us turning up?

I'm up for it tomorrow now, hope we smash'em.

Going on the thread title I thought we had signed a couple of foreigners on loan

A couple of posts on there need pinning up in the dressing room as a little bit of additional motivation.


"Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!"

What can you expect when their classless southern gobby manager finishes their fans forum with

DC: I was woken up this morning by my eight-year-old daughter singing “we hate Grimsby!”. Cheers from the audience.

I've a feeling we've just scratched the surface of this guy who allows his team to get pi$$ed and sing anti-Grimsby songs , encourages fatty Rhead to start assaulting opposition keepers with forearms smashes to the throat and then throws his 'base' some red meat by winding up his forum speech with the above.

That would only work if anyone had heard of any of the nobodies on that message board.

I hope JF has had tyres on ropes installed around the away dug out so St Danny and Prince Nicky can leap around like possessed baboons at 3pm like they do on most Saturdays from August to May in the gimp ego season.

Getting really tired of this one way manufactured rivalry. I hope they go up. The sooner those two sharp objects in charge move on and fall on their arses somewhere else the better. Genuinely couldn’t care less if we never played them again. I hope they use that air raid siren as an enema. 617? intercourse off.

Should we run a sweepstake to guess in which pre-determined minute an 'injury' occurs and a Lincoln player goes down for 'treatment' while Cowley gives a team talk?

Paul Farman used to go down after 65 minutes for the "teamtalk" religiously.

Fat boy Rhead probably goes down on  Cowley every day 15 mins after training finishes
That’s how the fat cunnt still gets a game.  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Be fair. Most of them are not used to following football. They haven't got used to the idea that the season lasts 9 months yet.

'Oi Jeremiah, which one's the Quarterback? When do they have time out?'

Never forget York beating us 3-0 singing we are top of the league in August they ended up being relegated far too early to make predictions, nothing wrong with some belief.

Over the course of the season the teams with better budgets and therefore better players tend to rise to the top.
Lincoln, Notts C and Mansfield will be under pressure to be at the top of the table and if they aren’t serious questions will be asked by the respective boards

Have you seen his antics on the sidelines? And his constant bending of the rules? And the fact that he signed and played the thug that is Matt Rhead? The man is classless. He's from Essex though, what do you expect?
