Re: FA Cup Changes

On the plus side, its easier for a giant killing over 1 leg than it is over 2. So you may see more giant killings and smaller clubs progressing further and get more prize money that way. Ask an EFL club that has drawn 1-1 at home to City over 90 minutes whether they'd rather chance their arm in ext...

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

I do sometimes wonder whether commentators are a bit dumb, or just stick to narratives because it makes their life easier bit of both imo. Same as when someone takes a pen that goes in and the replay shows it went at a very convenient height for a keeper and not that far to his side, but the keeper...

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

Bernardo Silva's penalty might be one of the worst ones I've ever seen They are taken like that all the time though, and as long as the keeper dives then the commentators are telling us what a cool character the penalty taker is. +1,000 I was laughing to myself at how critical the commentators were...

So Dortmund and PSG will play for the right to lose to whoever wins the Citeh-Real tie tonight in the final. Having watched Man City repeatedly lose to inferior opposition in the Champs League in person in several of the past years CL campaigns, i see plenty of risk posed by Bayern Munich. I still ...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Their involvement can give them some golden years and leave them in a much better position when they finally leave, but long term I don't see how Wrexham can sustain a Championship team in the same way we can't sustain a Premier League club. Population, geography and being a "big club" do...

Re: The Magic Number Thread

Of course the magic number is still 1, it's just that we know that it's covered We've already achieved the number of points needed to ensure that four teams finish below us. Therefore it is 0! Magic number doesn't take into account teams playing each other - it is just a simplistic guide to how clo...

Re: The Magic Number Thread

Next season it should start from 138 and be updated weekly on how many more points we still need to finish top. Standards must be raised. The temptation to set it up as: Champions - 138 Promotion - 138 Play offs - 138 Survival - 138 And track all 4 is there. But keeping it up would be a mammoth bal...

Re: Derby away parking fine

A happy end to this story. But worth reminding, when you get a parking fine from a private company, you are in a contractual dispute with them. Any "appeal deadlines" are bogus. They can't fine you more for taking longer to pay. And they can't fine you more for taking longer to appeal. The...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Bristol Rovers (a)

Selles - great to see that emotion come out last night - sign that they believe the job is done. As the players came over, he was gesticulating wildly at his team on the bench to get everyone involved. Those sometimes-weird moments earlier in the season where he insisted players applaud the fans st...

GDPR and the loyalty points

Anyone noticed that you can no longer see how many points your friends and family have without emailing the ticket office? Interesting that they would give someone this info about someone else over email without that person's concent. But more interestingly, i can see all the purchases that my conne...

Re: The Magic Number Thread

Does the Magic Nubber take into account the fact that Burton play Cheltenham and also travel to Fleetwood? One of the teams in each match must drop two or more points in each match. That means that at least least four points cannot be counted in the overall total left to play for. This reminds me o...

Re: Reading FC Womens World

Dai has ruined the women's team even more than the men. 8 years in the WSL, players like Kirkby and Williams featuring. Now a part time team fighting not to fall into non League. Shameful. I've been thinking about this. My Chelsea women's supporting colleague said he's been to the Mad Stad to watch...

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

Did Zing pay for his 51% and did he get it back or forfeited it when that share reverted to SJM? It's something I have wondered before but never checked it out. There's conflicting info. At the time I recall the deal being pay x for 51% with a deadline for the remaining 49% with the lot reverting t...

If it was the Wilf brothers then we could have won the owners jackpot. They’ve been transformational for the Vikings, who now have the best facilities, infrastructure and stadium in the NFL. Not going to get excited though until something confirmed. Would love to see football run more like the NFL....
