Re: European Leagues Thread 2012/2013

Interesting* last day ahead in the Bundesliga on Saturday. Naturally the key story will be can Leverkusen clear the last hurdle for an undefeated league season but plenty on intrigue elsewhere. 4 clubs in the mix for relegation and/or the relegation play-off. Cologne need to win at Heidenheim to sta...

Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2015//16

Apologies if this has been mentioned before but who would host the final were we to progress? I believe we'll be away at the winners of the other semi (Tottenham or Chelsea). Correct. Interesting that Spurs are playing the game at their first team stadium - could suggest a day out there or at Stamf...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

2 more charges on Bearwood from Redwood published on Companies House - appears they have loaned the club 2.83m over the exclusivity period. So either the deal completes soon or the club is even more financially handicapped than it was a few months back. Been lots of speculation on exactly how much ...

Hopefully it gets played when there is no PL games and there is a live feed on YouTube/Royals TV so more people can watch.

Re: Squad Watch 2024/25

Yeah not the sort of player I’d want is to go for Was on the bench a lot last year - was it injury or not favoured? The latter - he nearly went to Bristol Rovers in Jan but the finances stopped it, so was used as an impact player really. He will score goals for someone, but just don't think he is t...

Probably makes us favourites to make the final.

Which is frankly crazy.

Re: Rival Watch

Also married in Oxford, so whilst I enjoyed playing them again, doesn't bother me in the slightest if they go up. Not sure why it would bother anyone really but football does strange things to people.

BTW if any of you lot are travelling over here and heading to Frankfurt for any of the games and want a local view on where to go, what to do if you are spending any time here beyond the game itself - feel free to drop me a PM.

Re: Rival Watch

It's win:win. They lose on TV on their big night out. Or They go up and get humiliated most weeks for a year. I thought that Oxford now have pretty rich owners themselves - who can afford to build a new stadium for them!? Maybe, but they can't build it, replace almost their entire squad and double ...

Re: Weekend Football

Yeah, not really sure what they expect, they've finished 6th, 7th and won a European Trophy under Moyes (and a Semi final as well) and look likely to get top 10 again this year.

Guess every manager has a shelf life as far as fans are concerned but can't say Moyes has exactly held them back.

Re: Champions League, Europa League & Europa Conference League 23/24

There is simply no better footballing entertainment about at the moment than Leverkusen - it is frankly incredible to watch. When they got back to 2-1 last night, you could see the team collectively decided that they would rather risk losing 3-1 on the night (and going to ET) in order to try and sta...

Decent cheap back up for the whole back four. I can see why a Championship club might be interested.

Re: The Retained List

I am probably the only one here disappointed that NGW has bee released. I know he allegedlly had a falling out with Selles so him staying on was always very unlikely. I always thought NGW was lively when he played especially going forward. Can be dodgey at the back no question so could be moire sui...

Re: The Retained List

Pleasantly surprised we had an option on Azeez (LOL @ Brogue claiming he was off). Surprised by Carson and Mola going and both Rushesha and Abrefa getting offers. Whilst I think we all wanted Carson to step up, I'm not convinced he has the mental strength so not upset. Mola does seem harsh, and lea...
