        Amen to that too (n/m) (NCFC) - CB41, Feb 20, 12:41:38
        
        despite it all I am so proud of were we are & we have put behind us years (NCFC) - lovely old job, Feb 20, 12:44:43
        
        I do agree that it is, but we are 14 points clear of the drop zone (NCFC) - phrankin, Feb 20, 12:43:47
        
        But equally, those saying that they deliberately set out to lose (NCFC) - Klobo04, Feb 20, 12:47:40

        I dont accept the 'leaving our top scorer out' argument. (NCFC) - Klobo04, Feb 20, 12:57:50
        
        and I am sure the team fergusen picked to play norwich in 04/05 (NCFC) - phrankin, Feb 20, 13:02:33
