Well it looks like one of the four relegation slots is accounted for. I suppose we should be happy, but its just sad that yet another club is struggling.

My sentiments exactly. Better not take it for granted that they will go down - we must go there next week and win to help ourselves avoid relegation.

At least they seem to be trying all they can to keep out of going into administration, and hopefully asking the Football League for help. Why Darlington didn't ask the league for help makes me wonder Houghton's intentions - maybe they were beyond help.

Again, it's another reminder that we are fortunate to have IOR on-board.

Can we have Chris Westwood back

Chris 'I need my kids to be near my family in Wolverhampton' Westwood, lately of Peterborough and Cheltenham??

Spent force mate. And never that sparkling.

Chris Westwood has returned to Peterborough as one of their central defenders is injured - maybe he'll be playing against us on Saturday.

Cheltenham can go to fk for that play off semi.

Going by his performance against Brizzle Rovers on a Sky game earlier in the season- I fooking hope so!! He wasn't fit to be fair but he was rotten!

Westy played 90 minutes for Posh last night.

Agreed, he can get to fuck!

little or no chance of him coming back to Pools I would have thought - he chose to leave and it was on a free.
Somebody like Adam Boyd is a different scenario - he signed a contract so the club got a fee for him - and the club willingly sold him. He is a different case altogether, also Boyd still has a lot to offer in my opinion
He is much more likely to come back to Pools, especially if Orient go down

He is a bullshitter.

who gives a fuck? he is a pro footballer and is his perogative to get as good and well paid contract as he can, he is a legend imo, always will be

Would rather have Tony Billing back.

Who is this Tony Billing you speak of?

A fictional character from the planet 'arsehole?'

was it not Peter Billing?

Must have had Tony Canham in my head too.

I'd love to know how you can be that disrespectful to someone who served Pools so well.....

Mind that's nothing compared to the diatribe you come out with about some of the current players.

I think some of you need to learn what the term "legend" means. You lot say it about any fucker.

Well, seeing as the club were parading people on the pitch under that banner, some who had played fewer than 50 times for the club, I'd say he qualifies.

Unless legend means "someone who is prepared to turn up"

he played a key role in our best ever (and most successful) team, why wouldn't he be regarded as a legend?

Agreed. Prone to the odd costly ricket, but absolutely top drawer when he finally settled into the side after a shaky start.

Saying that, I still like Tree's avatar.

I am concurring fully with Chip.

If only he'd left that ball for Dimi to cope with... :sigh:

I think it was Peter billing we had

I concur totally with the legend that it is chip...

Westy deserves all the plaudits he gets.... Top Bloke and top player as well.... Always great with the kids and not stuck up like some footballer s are...

Tree, I'm used to u talking out of your arse so I won't comment on what you think.. All I can say is you obviously didn't know the man..

Westy coming out to shake hands with and thank the fans during our promotion "celebration" at Scunthorpe says all you need to know about the bloke.

humphreys did to , but he rarely gets called a top bloke

I'm not 'dissing' Westy for his abilities or anything at all to do with his time at the club or indeed the bloke himself. I am saying that he left on a thin pretext which later proved to be false.
