You’re a lot more optimistic than I am Andy, I don’t like to harp on as Captain Negative but I reckon it’s all gone.  All gone to s##t.

I don’t want to keep logging in and out again etc due to the troll mitigation 10 minute posting limit but my post in the other thread about the Hub selling loads of beer and people falling asleep in bushes was minded towards the high five brigade and not people on this forum.  I don’t think I could celebrate anything to do with the team right now and I reckon Mr. Collins and Mr. Steptoe would be in agreement there (hopefully, you’re great posters on here).

As we all know we only escaped a trip to the Carrot Crunchers F’All League last time round because of the inclusion of Whyteleafe in the table and the business at Staines Town.  It’s proper scrappy this time and there really isn’t anything to be pleased about, the Guernsey write up indicates they’re in the same position  as us without anyone up high taking it seriously

Well it seems my new year optimism was misplaced. Despite the poor weather and a few postponements, we played four games, and lost all of them. Although not badly beaten in any of them and playing well in some of them, it seems that whenever we concede a goal or two we give up. This is a results business, as we all know, and at any other club this manager would be long gone. But as we also know, this isn,t a normal club.

It's in the past now Andy.  What does February hold for us?  Elation or heartbreak?

February looks very bloody hard - the shortest month of the year and no less than seven games (out of seventeen remaining).  Then add to this two of these games are against the first and second in the league (Basingstoke this Saturday and W&H on the 28th) and one is against Binfield who are edging onto the playoff zone.  There’s always the Merstham game on the 20th which is a proper six pointer in the most extreme sense of the term. 

Between now and the end of the season we’ve got four games against clubs in the top five - the same as Merstham and Guernsey, SCR only have one.  It’s going to be a real roller coaster of a ride.  February is going to be a deciding month for T&M….

I'm afraid it's already decided, relegation is guaranteed!!

That’s exactly how I see it DP, in any other club there would be great strides to prevent what’s going on now and a massive engagement with fans to reassure and try to build morale.  Not here though, we’ve seen completely the opposite.

Do not worry DP, a lot of people will know you worked damned hard for many years and got involved with the club for all the right reasons.  I’m sorry things are what they are these days, but you can be proud of yourself knowing you had a massive part to play in better times at the club.  I don’t think anyone could have predicted what recent seasons would turn into……

Spot on post DP and you are a person that knows what has gone on i would like to echo Bernie the Bolts words i know you worked damn hard for the club and thank you for all you did but the lot that run everything now are a complete shower and our owner is a disgrace i wonder how much in money terms his little tooting empire is worth now the place is falling apart,bar like a morgue hardly any supporters left this very poor excuse for an owner has killed the club i just cant work out his ultimate goal i thought he was suppossed to be a business man well what a joke that is our only hope now is he cuts his losses and goes somewhere that is as far away from imperial fields as possible.

Six points.  Anything more than that will be a welcome bonus.

Does any of the above really matter anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Nice one ev made me chuckle

Mike, if I've told you once I've told you 100 times:  you are far too optimistic about Tootings future.
