Brogue holmes best spell for us was when he was filling in a right back


Totally agree. Hope he does well for Luton.

Started last season at CB very well. And his second spell in the side this season.

Re: Rival Watch

The pilot who died, who seems to be not mentioned very often and gets forgotten about, was an innocent party too and had reservations about the condition of the plane being used beforehand. He may have had reservations about the plane but they didn't extend to owning up to not having a licence for ...

Re: FA Cup Changes

I think you are referring to online nobheads though. Can't mix up their views with the majority of fans views. I think that is the majority of fan views. Understanding of football finance and cost of success is miniscule. My view with JM was that he was frustrating but the overall direction of the ...

Re: FA Cup Changes

I am talking about from a fans point of view So am I. There's constant fan pressure to spend more to compete and succeed regardless to cost or consequence. We all saw it under Madejski.

Re: FA Cup Changes

100% this. Unless my club is about to go out of business for financial reasons, I don't care for the finances. it should all be about the experience of being a fan, going to see exciting games of football and in the Cup being able to hope/dream of getting a match against someone we usually wouldn't...

Re: FA Cup Changes

Obviously that wasn't what you said and anyone who believes that expanding international tournaments is for the good of the smaller nations is probably just being deliberately obtuse Quite. This whole thing is a lesson in obtuse from GWL. Shockingly. And it remains total bullshit that binning repla...

Re: FA Cup Changes

What do you mean its not what i said? Its written right there? People are anti football expansion at a world cup. FIFA expands world cups because more games = more money.

Re: FA Cup Changes

as a general point and not a dig at people here, I can't help but think that all areas of football have now become so analysed that even company bottom lines are now debating points for fans and the extra profit they might make becomes a thing to get enthused by. I don't want replays to go because ...

Re: Weekend Football

I think this is where miking up everyone and playing it would help. If the ref's seen something and is saying down comms to the other officials 'no contact, no contact, no contact' then it's an easy call to check a couple of replays and say 'there was substantial contact'. Then everyone can see and ...

Re: Weekend Football

I will say it again - VAR should only be used for matter of fact things. Ball over the line, challenge awarded inside / outside the box, offside. Those decisions yesterday were all about opinion and pretty much everyone has one. Let's go back to what we know and pretty much has existed before time ...

I think they should sue Forest for defamation. These guys are professionals and it's ridiculous to suggest Attwell deliberately made Forest lose. So your view is that he's not biased, just completely incompetent Yep, and he's still one of the best in the country which is why he's a PL official. We'...

Re: The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

Barnsley sack their manager. Rolling the dice with that action. Only need a new manager bounce for a max of 4 games Could be a masterstroke …. or a disaster Tbf, can't get much worse than looking like no hopers. But the timing is mad. I'm reminded of Coppell and that three game 0-3 stretch around X...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Burton Albion (h)

Disappointing to lose but frankly Burton knew they were close to last chance saloon and to have a team like us roll up, a team who have had an incredibly stressful season but managed to scramble to safety with a game or two to go must have been a real boost. Having said that, if Smith does better w...

The commentator of Stevenage's game at Oxford during the week said that Nesta Guinness-Walker is the great grandson of Sir Alec Guinness.

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

Same will apply with our opponents. Seems unlikely for, for example, Southampton, who are top 4 Championship. Also, the relatively large number of u21 players who are in our first team squad means more opportunity in the u21s for the better u18s than usual, meaning those left playing u18 are probab...
