looking at their Rivals site. If Pools fail to beat them, then that pi**ed-offness will certainly be transferred onto here and the Pools Rivals site I reckon................
and at the moment with the chopping/changing at Pools and general all-round unpredictability/inconsistency, then it's a good bet we won't!!!!!!


Irate messages will abound on Sunday all you Pools players reading this, if you don't get three points!!!!!

A draw is looking a good bet.

I will give them my own message:

Dear Hartlepool players,

You have gone through a difficult period recently and we will always stand by you even if we can get irated and flustered at times.

You are not a bad team and some opposition fans who have seen you believe that you can do well this season. So do most fellow Pools fans. Bournemouth will be not walk overs and you must stay focused. Some of you may be frustrated that you are not beign played and it's up to you to cement your place in the team.

There's no doubt you can win on Sunday and you can go on a run.

We ask one thing: that you give it your best

Which is more productive? The Gary Megson approach or the softy softy approach?

A kick up the backside or a gentle push?

Probably a bit of both if I'm honest.
