Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2015//16

Royals and Racers 6th team through- Tottenham who beat Aston Villa 4-3 AET at home.


Presumably Spurs would be clear favourites to win the entire play off given they won the league element by loads of points.

Re: Ovie Ejaria

Imagine it’s the club looking after his welfare and letting him train to get fit rather than having intent to sign him. Wish him all the best, however his future lies away from Reading. I wonder if that was part of the termination agreement - he can continue to train at the club's facilities until ...

Re: We're ManchesteROFL United, we do what we want

Maguire out injured So no centre or left backs available for tomorrow :lol: Calling the loss now! Isn't it a plus that Maguire is out? :wink: Unfortunately for England he has just about 7 weeks to get fit. Unfortunately for England, he remains one of the best two CB’s available, so he’d better be f...

Re: Rival Watch

If I remember correctly, when Qxf*rd came into the League the number of Tappin's Coaches of Didcot parked up outside Elm Park fell from 3 or 4 for most games to zero. if each coach had 40-45 seats that would have been quite a drop in our attendance figures at the time. Just out of interest for thos...

Re: Rival Watch

Realistically yeah. I think ourselves, Watford and Oxford all have higher ceilings than Wycombe - all have bigger fanbases; bigger catchment areas; better transport links; etc. That's without considering London clubs. I imagine Wycombe was simply really cheap in comparison to other clubs in this br...

Re: Rival Watch

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...

Re: Weekend Football

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...

Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2015//16

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...

Re: The non snowball stat thread

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.

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?

Re: Who do we want to play next season?

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...
