Re: Rival Watch

The three relegated sides nearly always have insanely higher budgets than the rest of the Championship. That’s what the parachute payments do. I understand the 3 coming down will have parachute payments, but Leicester, Leeds and Southampton felt like a new extreme when it came to financial disparit...

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

Not wanting to get embroiled in a circular argument, but to say Kane hasn't won anything, is a little harsh, imo. 7x Premier League Player of the Month 6x Premier League Team of the Year PFA Young Player of the Year 3x Premier League Golden Boots 1x World Cup Golden Boot 1x World Cup Dream Team 1x B...

Re: The Retained List

I really don't think Wing would cut it in the Championship these days. I think many of the younger players would step up though, while the higher skill and fitness level would see him struggle to be effective. As for Wing I do believe that with younger legs to work alongside him he could step up fo...

Re: Ex Players

Fae was never a like-for-like replacement for Sidwell, surely? Right sided midfielder, in a season we had 11 different players play in that slot. Really don't know what Coppell and the club were smoking in 2007. Pretty much a whole season knowing Sidwell would be going but when he did there was no ...

Winston Biscuit Real Madrid Vs Bayern tomorrow night. Hoping for another bone dry squib from them!


Would be quite amusing if Bayern win that. After a lot of people went after Kane for losing the league, he may have the biggest last laugh.

Re: Ex Players

Wouldn’t have expected that after his injuries here. Quality player though, really liked him


Yep, bit like McShane, jut badly dropped away from the level needed after injuries.

Re: Squad Watch 2024/25

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...

We've got to find a way past this - especially as the fan base gets more middle class.

Re: Ups & Downs 23/24

Brum Royal Ipswich won last night at Cov so only need a point in their last game to secure promotion to the Prem. LOLeeds look to be joining the list of clubs to achieve 90+ points and not get promoted.


First time it's happened, isn't it?

Re: Weekend Football

Clyde1998 Great result. All Ipswich need to do now is not lose against Huddersfield and they'll be up regardless of what Leeds do against Southampton.


With Huddersfield all but down, I can't see them looking to do Leeds a favour.

Re: Changes In Football thread

Understood. File under sin bin then. Talking of sin bins, Jnr II's team had a bit of a maverick ref the other week. He decided sin bins were actually a thing and sent two players to the sin bin for 10 minutes towards the end of the match. Also gave a coach a yellow card for questioning it. Odd chap...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Blackpool (h)

Not going to add much more but to note that this is the first time we have finished a season with a win since the season we made the Champ Play-off Final under Stam. We won at Burton on 7th May 2017 - not won on the final day since until Saturday. The last time we won the last league game, and had ...
