Come on you Gills, no looking ahead to next weekend, concentrate on today, and lets pick up 3 points. With a bit of luck and a bit of help from a couple of teams above us we could be right there looking at a win away from a spot in the top 6. Nice to think other teams losing could push us up the table with a Gills win, over the past couple of years it's always been them losing and keeping us up so as not to get relegated. The likes of Fleetwood, P Boro, Ipswich all seem to have hit big time rough patches, and Evans seems to have finally got it all figured out, so come on you GILLS , BIG WIN TODAY.

A point is a point ,is apoint, imagine how well we could do if we started playing from the kick off. Well done the 80 minute gang. P.Boro, Blackpool and B Rovers all lost today, just think ,one first half goal for the Gills and , lol.
Happy New Year Everyone, ........Go Gills.

What great news , West ham have a new manager and clobbered Bournmouth today , how come Pellegrini could not have had his last game against The Gills, lol.

I thought the same. Let's hope his focus is on league survival and rests a few.

A good point,and that finishes a decent Christmas for us.We did seem leggy yesterday,but we dug in and got a late equaliser.Three points off the play offs,and a big FA Cup game to look forward to.

Yeah everything looking up for the Gills ,green lights everywhere, no stop lights no matter the West Ham score, although a draw would put some money in the bank from the replay so we could buy a true goal sniffer, who could put 15 in the net the rest of this season.
I have to feel sorry for the members of the " Anti Steve Evans Brigade" that have not been going to Gills games since he took charge, they are going to miss out on a home cup tie against a Big Dog, all because Mr Evans was a nasty man, even thou the world knows nice guys come last. Unless of course your Mr garawa, he seems to be a nice guy but somehow always seems to come first, just ask his wife, she will tell you that, what a nice guy he is, good to her and the kids, HHHHHMMMMMM, makes you think doesn't it , lol ?
