Comedy suicide defending sets up the mighty Kent derby possibility again.

Meanwhile Chelsea getting the most out of their players before being forced into selling them in the summer.

Echo IR's sentiment that basic lessons of geography put a cap on what Wycombe can achieve. Relatively small town with London and bigger clubs nearby; I don't keep who they're kidding with all this talk of shooting for the stars. A few years in the Championship is the best they can hope for. Realist...

And yet Doku's chest high kick on Mc Allister, even more blatant, wasn't given in a game that might have had a real bearing on the title whereas yesterday Arsenal would have won regardless. The worst I feel was the Havertz penalty. Players have been deliberately leaving a leg behind to get a penalt...

Think this is how ownership changes should be done. Largely quietly and in the background with the first news really being confirmation that all is done and dusted. Meanwhile at Reading... :roll: The new owner says: "The football world is evolving very fast and our priority will be to integrate...

You have to laugh at Birmingham; they survived easily the season we got relegated and looking good lying in 6th in early October, when the new American owners decided to sack the Manager John Eustace and bring in someone to "instill the winning mentality and positive culture" that the new...

11am on 16th May.

And another thing, which will no doubt crop up sooner or later. The top 16 U21 sides qualify for the EFL Trophy. However, there is a rule that says U21 sides of clubs in Leagues 1 or 2 are excluded. So we don't get to enter twice, and presumably 17th-placed Southampton get a place instead. Boo! Sho...

Got me thinking, we must have played some of them in the 4th tier too. How long would that list be? Four clubs by the looks of it: Portsmouth; Swansea; Watford; Wigan. In addition, we played Portsmouth; Swansea and Watford in the Southern League before joining the league. Swansea and Watford are th...

Found this on the Arsenal website: https://www.arsenal.com/news/how-premier-league-2-play-offs-will-work Appears the draw is pre-determined for the next rounds. We'll be playing at home against the winner of Fulham and Nottingham Forest in the quarter-final - I'd guess this would also be played at ...

Loafer Aluko getting the last laugh with Ipswich

Aluko + a manager/coach who knows what he's doing rather than Aluko + a chain of complete failures without a clue between them.

Will be at Brackley tomorrow Pretty much a sellout And I think the player sent off at the end of the semi final has been cleared to play after an appeal. Nothing official about a sending off or an appeal. Very odd. Fingers crossed they can break the play off hoodoo The hoodoo continues - Boston won...

Looking like it may be a fairly disappointing final day in the Prem. Can’t see Luton or Burnley catching Forest now, CL places look sewn up too Imagine the title race will go to the last day but you just can’t see Spurs mustering too much of an effort to help Arsenal out and would be surprised to s...

Wonder how much belly aching there will be from the Brum support. Can't possibly be their fault for being cr@p and having owners that made another cr@p managerial c0ck up could it?

Can’t believe it’s 30 years since they were in the third tier. They have been fighting relegation for so long, I actually regard the third as their natural home. Birmingham have only had 2 previous spells in the third tier, at the end of the 80s and into the mid 1990s. They were last relegated to w...

Wolves are the only team in England with a complete set of domestic honours: Div 1-4 champions, FA Cup winners, League Cup winners, Football League Trophy winners. You say a full set, but have they won the Isthmian League? [Joking aside, they don't have a Simod Cup in there.] One in the eye for tho...

Royals and Racers 2-0 74 mins Akande

What's the opinion on Akande, he seems to be one player that never gets anywhere near the first team yet the club could do with options in that area.

Harsh introducing to English football for Birmingham City's owners, but that Eustace decision was utterly moronic. Will be interesting to see if they learn or if it's another hopelessly incompetent owner with money to burn. They've been promising to deliver relegation for 5/6 years and now they've ...

The Old Firm don't play each other in the league any more times than they used to before the split was introduced. It does mean that pretty much every game from now on matters, whether it's for the title, European qualification or relegation so I'd say it's a decent enough innovation in what is oth...

Hi Ben. Nice to have you back.
