    Laughing stock of the office today. Leeds, Wednesday, Huddersfield, Forest, Charlton, Liverpool, Everton, Burnley, Donny and lots of other teans fans having a good non stop joke today.

    It goes on and on with different folk coming over to laugh. What can be the defence as there is no comeback to it.

    Even got to the stage where I pretend to be on the phone if I see someone with a big smile on there face walk in my direction.

    An Hudds fan is even modifying a league onsie pic which was sent to him to send around the office.

    I've got the same happening here. I work in an office dominated by Man City fans with a splattering of fans from Liverpool, Everton, Man Utd, Rochdale, Oldham, Huddersfield and Leeds and I am getting some serious hammer.

    And to make matters worse even the lone Stockport County and Bury fans have royally taken the pi55 today.

    Surely Stockport County trumps the lot. Can anybody beat Stockport County in the ‘getting the pi55 ripped out of you’ embarrassment league?

    You would think working at home would be the answer, but not safe there. Had hull, Sunderland, man city and even Newcastle giving it today.

    ask the Bury fan if he thinks theyll have a team next season. The going out of bussines without a buyer coming in, that should keep one of em quiet

    I'm in an office in the East Midlands that is equally dominated by Derby and Forest fans. The next week is going to be very interesting one way or another! I've had a Derby fan on the phone this morning having a laugh at my expense but, to be fair, he did add that he reckons that they have no attack and that a nervy 0-0 is the likely result tomorrow night. To be fair to the Derby fans here they tend to be balanced in their assessment of their side, even with a slight tendency to be negative. The Forest fans however are completely different, and it's amazing how many of them have started talking about football again since Billy Davies returned. I say 'fans' .....

    As usual I'm getting hammered by Leeds fans at work. Funny old game and all that, had Wednesday taken their chances on Saturday I'm not sure Leeds fans would be so smug this morning.

    I think I'm still in shock from Saturday to be honest. I walked down to Oakwell not expecting to win, far from it but assuming we'd put on a decent performance and stand a decent chance of getting the points. But it's never going to be easy being a Barnsley fan. I just hope the players weren't as demoralised as I was to find out following our drubbing that every other chuffer had won.

    'Biggest game in years' tag is often rolled out that this time of the season but I can't think of a bigger one than Tuesday night. It's pretty much win or bust in my opinion, the next two games will be a struggle and then owt could happen at Huddersfield, assuming that game still matters.

    Just a pity our record in 'vital' games has been woeful this season. Bout time that changed I think.

    To be honest I've not had much grief. Majority of people who come in my shop are Leeds or Doncaster, but most have said they hope we stay up for the derby's next season.

    One of the advantages of being out of work at the moment!

    But I've had that before and it's usually from ones who aren't big football fans.

    Used to get it when I worked in Leeds from one guy in particular who was more into motor racing. Then when Leeds had a bad result and I tried giving him some stick he just said "I'm not that bothered about football"!

    He makes no excuse for how w@nk they are but this hasn't stopped him singing and gesturing every time he has walked past my desk. I've even had an empty can of 7-up (with a big 6 scrawled over the 7) left on my desk. Still not sure who was responsible for this hilarious little prank.

    I think it's one of those defeats thats easier to efend that a 3/4-0.

    'One of those days, everything just went wrong! We beat Watford, Brighton, Middlsbrough and Hull (cup), draw away at Palace and Cardiff and then lose 0-6 with 2 men sent off! hahaha'

    Thats how I played it anyway.

    Bast.ards.
