    I do.

    Another poor season, and many mis-managed games. He is learning yes but it needs to happen quicker in a **** league where Acc S are winning it.

    Review each game from Sept to yesterday, too many slumps, bad spells and issues.

    Top passion yes, but Bakes had that also (so maybe he is a number 2?)

    Let's hope for a steady first 3 months next season because I hugely doubt a similar ride to this one will be accepted?

    I've made my views perfectly clear on statements like this.
    It's not a **** league, it's just ****tier than the league above, that's why it's the league below.
    And so what if Acc S are winning it? - they just happen to be bloody good at what they do and credit to 'em!

    But I think I've heard it all now when a Stoke fan says on P&G tonight that he thinks the Prem lacks quality!
    Jesus, some people have such unbelievably high standards it's untrue!!
    If the Prem lacks quality as well now, we may as well pack up, go home and get scrabble televised!!!

    It really winds me up when Alex fans say things like ‘if a club like Accrington are top of the League it must be a poor league’.

    It was less than 20 years ago when opposition fans were saying ‘if we can’t beat clubs like Crewe in the second tier of English football, then we don’t deserve to be there’.

    We’re we playing poor football? NO
    Did we deserve to be in that division? YES
    Was that patronising to us? YES
    Did we complain that other ‘bigger’ clubs had that attitude? You bet your life we did

    So why are we saying it now about a team that lives beyond its means and plays damn good football?

    I’d rather know why we aren’t beating the hoof ball teams like Newport, Wycombe and Barnet than why we are below we’ll organised, attractive sides like Accrington - whom we outplayed at Highbury despite losing by the way.

    Let’s show the same type of respect to clubs that we expect in return.

    It is a very **** league and mostly a poor standard week-in week-out.

    However, like Saturday for 35 minutes, a team with ability can cut through it. We weren't even the best side for that 35 minutes but our individual skill level ripped through them at least 6 times in that half alone.

    A good win, but not a good 2nd half. Anyone that thinks needing to score 4 and hang on is the way.....well, we disagree

    I think we will improve. DA is obviously a slow learner but if he gets there eventually then that is fine by me. Academy proving to be valuable again, so just need some astute ins and outs in the summer. I mean, who would spunk all the money and not get a full back in until January.....

    So Dave, pretend May, June and July are January and we will do well.

    How the **** can AS be top on their budget and crowds when every other mard arse team in the ****ty league moans about lack of funds! Up the Stanley I say, good lads!

    I have a huge amount of time for them as I was at one of their last home matches against us in the early sixties and they went into non league what? the next 50 years? And so nobody but nobody can begrudge them their place in L1 next season...Shows what a team that gels together can do and the fact that we outplayed them recently bodes well for us next season if we can get the right blend of players in to what we have but think we may lose Ainley and Jones in July.

    You see, this is what I don't get!
    If it is "a very **** league", very **** compared to what?
    And if it is "a very **** league", what does that say about us, lying in a lowly 17th??
    And if it is "a very **** league", why do you waste your time and money watching it??
    Damn sure I wouldn't if I felt that way, as I'm sure 100s of others wouldn't!!

    I remember when we were in League 1 that people were saying this. I don't get it either. It is what it is. League 2. Not as good as League 1, a lot worse than the Championship. And as for the Premiership, well the acting is top notch!

    Ouch!
    Hit me where it hurts why don't you?!!!

    Yeah, I know I don't go as regularly as others - most southern-based away games and usually one at home (Yeovil) per season. But on the whole I do enjoy it. I love match days, it's just that the 90 mins can sometimes take the edge off the day - but that's part of what being a supporter is about, especially Crewe, especially in league 2!!
    I was at Swindon this season - what value for money that was - but painful at the same time!!
