Re: FA Cup Final (Poll)

Of the two clubs I prolly prefer United, especially the current comedy version. But apparently who wins has an effect on who gets into Europe/ which consolation Thursday competition Chelsea, Newcastle (?) etc qualify for, so I would need to see that first. After the Champion League places the quali...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

South Coast Royal I suppose the fact that one of the Chiron blokes was previously involved with Charlton should speed up the process for good or bad .

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

JedMaxwell City might get found guilty on one of their charges, then fined about £50 and that'll be the end of it as far as the authorities are concerned.


Surely not :?

Re: VAR

All of these suggestions are all well and good but it completely ignores the biggest "cuplrit" that caused the need for VAR in the first place, and that is something that is very unlikely to go away. TV replays. Contrary to opinions often stated here and everywhere you can think of, the s...

Re: Weekend Football

Palace are on an absolute mad run They could be a dark horse next season if they keep their team together. Eze, Olise, Mateta, Guehi, Wharton. These are quality players. Eze and Olise allegedly both have release clauses in their current deals so they may well be off over the summer, particularly if...

Re: VAR

Yep, but the thing about short-pulling/holding etc and dissent is the realisation that these things are so endemic that if a ref was consistent and penalised every instance, the match wouldn't finish. And all the publicity and all the managers' and pundits' comments would be vilifying that referee....

Re: Ex Players

Talent wise he was good enough for the Championship. There was obviously some sort of attitude or mental health issues earlier in his career. Fair play, he looks to be moving beyond them and he has absolutely dominated the play offs. Difference maker in semi final and final. I think it was the phys...

Re: Rival Watch

Not that it’s the right place to put this but I find watching Premiership football so dull these days. I am watching Man City play West Ham, but I much preferred watching Crewe play Crawley earlier. I am probably alone here but City’s success has just made it all so oxf*rd boring. Not to mention th...

Re: Rival Watch

Crawley have returned to the 3rd division for the first time since 2015. Their highest ever league placing was 10th in the 3rd division back in 2013. Time to start a new derby perhaps?

Re: Weekend Football

If Arsenal and City both win today, Arsenal will have 89 points without winning the title, the 3rd highest total after Liverpool on 92 in 2022 and 97 in 2019. All 3 behind City, which shows how relentless they are. Man Utd also got 89 in the "Aguerooooo!" season and Spurs got 86 when Chel...

Yeah, I’m more bothered about Reading than Ryan Reynolds Agreed. Just need Reading to be consistent and turn up in 46 league games and there should be a decent reward. Hopefully Brum will start the season well, which should mean Eustace will be sacked by the end of October, leaving the way open for...
