Agree Phil.
The next three games will confirm our shite-ness our failures and our impending relegation to the wilderness of NLS.
I cannot see any light at the end of this endless tunnel.
In any case what would the club learn if we did manage the impossible AGAIN?
Do you remember your thoughts at the end of each of the many previous"Great Escapes"?
Ones like "Surely we have learned a lesson and will not let it happen again".
Absolutely nothing was learned and after each Great Escape we seem powerless to change things for the better.
I fear the habit of perpetual failure is so ingrained now that nobody has an answer.

.......surely we can get John Cleese (as Basil Fawlty) to attend our last home game this season? - there may well be a job as a manager going up for grabs........ |

I fear the habit of perpetual failure is so ingrained now that nobody has an answer. That sums it up for me. Make no mistake if by some fluke we did survive it will just be more of the same next season. |

I don't know where you get the "will determine our fate" bit from. Our fate is all but secure, the only way we are not playing Weston super mare season is if we go into liquidation. |

I've got an a-level in maths as well but I don't live near Disney world.

Never get tired of looking at those clips. A time before the world went mad...with this country well out in the lead when it comes to madness! |

I went to Audley Park School...what's Maths?! C.S.E grade 1 Had to Google that...well, it is a long time ago! I can remember walking past the main hall (would that have been Audley Park?) and looking in to see rather a lot of people taking their 11 plus. Why i didn't take it I'm not sure...not much point in me taking it i suppose. I also remember walking past the Grammer school on my way home, and thinking, how the hell do these people afford all these fancy (Red?) clothes! I was poor, so i was wearing my extremely tight and extremely short school trousers that i had been wearing for many years! We grow rather rapidly at that age, and my trousers were about four inches too short. What i didn't realise, was that i could have made a shit load of money, if only i had learnt to Moon-Walk! I was already touching my crutch rather a lot at that stage! |

I got my a level maths via evening classes at south Devon tech when I was unemployed in the 80s. |

I see that Owers is fairly confident that he is going to pick up three points. He reckons he got caught by a speed camera: www.devonlive.com/sport/football/football-news/parking-fine-probable-speeding-ticket-1314869You do wonder if it is all of this long-distance driving that he is so keen to boast about that turns him into such a lifeless and depressing character and leads to his total failure to rally the troops for Great Escape 3. He is more fortunate than his predecessor in that that he operates under a regime which can afford to pay his petrol expenses, but you wonder if he would better off conserving some of his energy to try to energise his team. |

Never was a persons time more wasted, than me sitting an exam to get into Grammar School! |

Floridagull. ..agree Churston was a very good school with good teachers. Rick Wooldridge and Geoff Strange were excellent PE teachers and were instrumental in my going to Lufbra in 1971 and going into teaching/coaching.
When did you graduate from Churston?
