Just realised... I bet Newcastle are relieved to have got that win out of the way today!  
#The only team not to beat the worst team in history!  🤣

I say ban this topic.  Ban it, I say... at least until Easter.
By uttering even the merest reference to it opens us up for ridicule.  For disappointment.  Even heartache for some.
Delete the thread.  Ban further reference to it.  Auto-Censor the number 11, and the word eleven.

Let's hear no more of it.
We reconvene at Easter... and remember, it's early next year!  March 29th (Good Friday) it is then...
 

 
 

It might have been, until you opened your yawning gap, in the same way you reckoned the league should have just awarded us promotion last season, and we promptly went into reverse. 
Not only are you stupid, you don't learn either.
 

Josh,
I have been lucky enough to have had my soulmate for almost 38 years now... over 26 of them as man & wife.
Literally nothing would fill me with more dread than having to spend just one solitarily minute without her as the biggest part of my life.  My soul, my heart, my every breath.

I have known personal tragedy of course, as have many of us, and indeed have bore witness to my own father suffering precisely what you are now going through yourself, albeit many years ago now.

But to imagine having to suffer a tragedy such as this myself, remains unthinkable.
 
My heart goes out to you, Josh, and I truly wish you nothing but eventual peace, happiness, and everlasting memories.
Stay strong, buddy, and may your beautiful wife sleep in eternal peace.

A star of golden hue, at the very least, I'd say!  

“Let’s pretend we’ve scored a goal”  still brings a smile

The 11 point record doesn't bother me. Any football fan you chat to will want to talk about it and listen to stories about it.
One fan I met couldn't believe that I had a season ticket and went to every game. He said after about 10 games he would have stopped going and probably never gone back the next season either.
Its a badge of honour for me among friends who support massive clubs and have seen them play maybe once or twice in the flesh that I kept going and still do.
Worst team in history? Yeah we were. The fans showed they were anything but and we should be eternally proud of that and own it as a club and a fan base.

For the lazy!
 

Criticism of his work is fine, but the personal abuse he is subject to from some, both on X and here, goes beyond that.
I knew why Ed was off work because his colleagues said so, but I didn't post it on here because I knew what would follow.
Anyone should be able to do any job, without fear of personal abuse.

No offence taken.
Gent is a lovely city - cathedral, castle, boat trips etc all are well worthwhile, but the city is synonymous with beer. The city's emblem is a golden dragon (Gulden Draak) - and that's also the name of the city's most famous beer. The Gruut is also part of its heritage - the Flemish government taxed hops extensively, hence the search for a substitute.
Brugge is a 25 minute rail journey away.

Indeed.
I recall an oft repeated "Absolute shambles"... in my head at least?  🤷‍♂️

30,000+ Derby fans still behind you, not to mention previous clubs. 
Cancer sucks balls. 
Sure you made her and will keep making her proud. 

Ever since becoming a new Dad just under 4 months ago, my daughter was born 3 months premature and very poorly which led her to being in life support, and in NICU for the first 2 weeks of her life. She's at home now on oxygen after 2 months in hospital and 9 blood transfusions, but something happened to me during that which has made me look at life in a completely different perspective. 
 
Stories like this really get to me because life is so fragile and its only until we go through something do we see it as such. I have no words that possibly come close to making anything better other than I'm sorry. I'm so sorry that for all the talent/money/success that Josh has been gifted with, that this has happened. Unfortunately cancer makes no exceptions, it doesnt matter who you are, it can come for us all. 
All we can do, is hug and hold those closest to us for as long as we have them in our lives, and appreciate every second we have.
My condolences to the whole family 💔

Wow mate, I was on the edge when I heard the news , your beautiful words tipped me over, lovely post mate

Just got back home after staying in Carlisle, stunned to see Josh Vickers news, his wife Laura sounds like a beautiful courageous person who has been taken too young to a horrible disease, I want to send all my heartfelt sympathy to Josh and his family and wish him all the strength and courage in the dark days ahead , stay strong Josh

Nothing, nothing can imagine what the he and his family are going through. 
 
Heart wrenching reading the statement 

How utterly awful.

Very sad. You and your lovely wife are in our thoughts and prayers.

Josh, I can't imagine what you are going through. I read your post with tears and feel so sad that you have had to cope with this together for a long time. How cruel life can be. Sending you lots of love at such a dreadful time. X

Horrible disease. I know what he is going through and I am not embarrassed to admit that I shed a tear or two this morning when I heard the sad news. He has my very best wishes.
