    Another goalless draw for the Tractor Boys, with captain Chambers left on the bench. We may end up averaging less than a goal a match.

      At least your draw wasn’t achieved from the jaws of victory - we went ahead after 4 minutes, the visitors were reduced to 10 men after 21 minutes, we missed a penalty and then conceded on 87 minutes. The league one trapdoor stays open like the jaws of Satan pulling us towards it. Your six points guaranteed next season.

        All contributions - even those in advance - gratefully received! It looks as though the Steel City is going to suffer a double disaster - bad news for Messrs Hattersley and Bean.

            That last day do or die game looking more like a stroll to the beach for the geordies.

            I wonder when Hartlepools last scored 7 ( seven) away from home ?.........

              Spectacular win that Anton

              Stockport County 2 Maidenhead United 2 Too many draws have probably cost us any chance of the title, I see Sutton are back to winning ways today

                    Didn’t see the first semi, but it sounds as though Chelsea were excellent.
                    Nonetheless, Saints and Leicester fans likely mostly happy to take their chances against them rather than face the sky blue team.

                      Your neighbours in Altrincham did neither you nor anton any favours.

                        I like the southern saints of Southampton; but I also like the Foxes from Leicester - but which is best? Only one way to find out! FIGHT!

                          May be a Hill too far for us.......

                          Figers crossed for a good showing, and a bit more fight than we showed at England’s highest league ground recently.

                              No thriller yet Jayne. Both sides will think they can improve.

                                Pretty poor effort from Saints, almost nothing in attack and the inevitable shambles at the back to lose the game. Decent move that did win it, but the Foxes had a stroll in the park really.

                                A game fitting for the soulless occasion.
                                Hope you win the final Alison.
