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 ...
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.
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...
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...
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...
It's out and there may be 1 or 2 surprises: 1 year options activated by the club for: Femi Azeez Michael Craig Jeriel Dorsett Kelvin Ehibatiomhan Joel Pereira Jayden Wareham Contracts offered to Abrefa and Rushesha Released Matty Carson Nesta Guiness-Walker Sam Hutchinson Clinton Mola Mola going is ...
Being reported that Hull have just sacked Liam Rosenior, which seems ridiculous, but nothing is surprising in football I guess. My brother (who supports Hull) has tried to justify it by saying the last third of the season wasn't great at all, home form particularly. I think that is complete bullshi...
Hard to judge how it goes in cup knock out of course but as said the fact they we seemed to outplay Forest over 1.25 games recently will make us favourites.
Of the potential semi final opponents - we beat Sunderland 2-1 but did not play West Ham, who finished 2nd, in the League phase.
They were unplayable yesterday and with Bochum (a) and Augsburg (H) to play, you would be a brave man to bet against them completing the league season undefeated. You would also expect them to dispatch Kaiserlauten comfortably in the Cup Final. With a 2-0 lead of Roma in Europe, again, you don't se...
In the lower divisions, MSV Duisburg - who have been a staple of the top 2 divisions since the Bundesliga was formed in 1963 dropped out of the national leagues yesterday for the first time. They will play in the Regional 4th tier next season - which is notoriously hard to get out of as not every di...
Leverkusen equalled Benfica's unbeaten record with a 5-1 away win at Frankfurt - 48 unbeaten in all competitions. They were unplayable yesterday and with Bochum (a) and Augsburg (H) to play, you would be a brave man to bet against them completing the league season undefeated. You would also expect ...
Agreed that Carson is worth working with and would tie him down to a two year deal and ship him out on loan next season, ideally to somewhere that will help him work on his defensive skills. You do have to remember that his total experience when signing for us was a few games in N.Ireland alongside ...
I'm surprised anyone is surprised by the announcement of the Wycombe takeover, esp anyone who paid even a passing amount of attention to the training ground fun. Lomatadze (or however you spell it), was the one financing the deal - he has essentially been finiancing the club for a little while now w...
Any ideas as to when we publish the retained list? I appreciate that the potential change of ownership will cause a delay, but I saw that Bristol Rovers have published theirs in the last day or so (they have released a young left back, Gordon, who looked ok against us last month). I know a number o...
New venue and date announced for final. Wednesday 15th May at Sandhurst FC Odd they've changed the date and venue, but kept it midweek. Would've thought they'd want it on a weekend to get people in. Sandhurst and Marlow would have finished their respective seasons - so could it be due to us being i...
Sat in the queue to see if I can't pick up any extra tickets. Ticket website is a mess.
Lucky enough to already have tickets to the Second Round game in Frankfurt but would be nice to get to at least 1 more as they are taking place where I live.
