monzaman Posted May 8, 2023 Author Share Posted May 8, 2023 Wow what is it about the saying "mind the gap" that gets the back up of some Owls on here, more posts removed, long winded nonsense full of babble posts, posters repeating the same thing over and over again. It really does get you going and I thought it was just a funny dig when I heard King Charles say it I just had to post it but I didn't expect the anger to come pouring out in bucket loads!!!

monzaman Posted May 9, 2023 Author Share Posted May 9, 2023 So the gap isn't as big if you have won more games in the LGE your rival has been promoted into than they have...........Well thanks for that info I never realised that, you learn something every day on here 🤣🤣 Anyway back on track, I have been on here many years and remember when Wed were above us and "mind the gap"was used a lot on here. I said then LGE positions don't lie and whoever is highest is top dog but I also stated that things change and now they have so Mind the gap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
