Post-Match Thread and Ratings Gateshead 0-0 Southend United

[Shrimp and two veg]

I'm nearly 80 both my back and knees are starting to fail me. But because I live in a village called New Biggin in Northumberland I went to the game at Gateshead. After supporting Blues since the Fiftees it was poss my last chance to se them live. 0 0 wasn't a great spectacle but enough to put us through. What I was impressed was the support that the team got. From the pub Fog On Tyne to the ground. With support like that how can you fail.

Good on you Turkish.

The only reality I see is your continued negativity. To be honest if Rochdale spank us we will still have done extraordinarily well this season. **** football was what we saw in the mid 80s with 2000 coming through the gates.

It doesn't matter if York finished 80 points in front of us. Whether Gateshead capitulated over the last couple of months matters not. The records state that we made the play offs. If this is as far as we get then so be it.

For the record I firmly believe we will turn Dale over.

If we don't You (and quite a few others ) are gonna look very stupid.

Come on Barna, just enjoy the ride.

Come on Barna, just enjoy the ride.

I'd like to but personally I think it's gonna be a bit of a rollercoaster one.

Excuse me, some of us look very stupid already, thank you very much.

Not really. We'll move the goalposts in terms of what we said and the meaning and then quote something fancy by some irrelevant old person who died long before most of us were born.

Don't worry Tangled. There is no one on here who could possibly steal your crown.

Why? I’ve already stated my point. If we don’t get past Rochdale and beyond I’m more than satisfied with the season. Expectation play offs, expectation met. Oh and delayed return to HK for the Rochdale game. If we get to the final I’ll be back.

Why is this a bad thing?

Because performance on the day is being completely ignored!!

And I think I've stated mine too.If we don't achieve our former EFL status via the playoffs this season (and I don't think we will) then IMO the current euphoria over just reaching the play offs will have been misplaced.Oh and if we reach Wembley (or even the SF against FGR) I'll be in Brazilia again ,visiting our younger daughter ,who's workig there.

That's the trouble with social media sites (like SZ).Anyone can make a glib reply (like this) and shoot you down.

If only our team could be as consistent as you Tangled. Most seasons you are always in my top 3 of Shriimperzone Buffon of the year award. You have excelled this season, no play off needed. You are the Barnet of the zone ....Wear your crown with pride. You deserve it
