assuming the cut of date for playing U21 football is at the start of the season... It's here under definitions: ‘Under 21 Player’ means a Player under the age of 21 as at the 1 January in the year in which the Season concerned commences. So, unless I'm mistaken, anyone 20 or under on 1 Jan. 2024 wi...
I’m comfortable that we have the core of a good squad, but I’m also aware it would only take injuries to two or three key players (Wing, Smith, Knibbs) to leave us struggling. Given the business we did last season, despite the turmoil, hopefully we can pick up a handful of players that could strengt...
So fine the club and punish NH immediately but give the agent 6 months grace, that sounds fair. Presumably this is because he might already be negotiating on behalf of a bunch of players who might be oxf*rd over through no fault of their own if they suddenly have to sign up with new agents whilst h...
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...
Michael Hector has been released from Charlton..... If he is not good enough for the Addicks, I doubt he is good enough for us now.(pity though). But we’re obviously forced to shop in a smaller, more restricted pool than them. They can spend money. Plus they may have younger players coming through,...
no but im a bit pissed off that the club does not sell a simple blue and white scarf :| been trying to get one for my daughter for a couple of seasons now. And they don't sell them. i mean wtf, its the number one thing you'd expect a football club to sell both instore and online That is odd, althou...
Jnr I is 6, so he wears what he’s given, which is a pair of black boots, decorated with black Addidas stripes (tbf, I would have got white stripes if they had had his size). As he already wins the most tackles and likes to throw the odd elbow, the very much suit his style. Meanwhile Jnr II is 4, and...
Ark Royal 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.]
Surprised I haven't seen more piss taking for celebrating like we won the league on Saturday when we finished 17th. Obviously those who have experienced the past few years know exactly why, but still an easy cheap shot to make. It didn’t really have celebration vibes, though, just last-day applause...
My appetite for football has been thoroughly whetted, so I'm hoping to make this only my second home game in seven years, sick child permitting. Coming Johnny No Mates because of last-minute decision-making, so I'm even tempted to try out the Upper West for a change. How strong is the smell of the p...
Sorry if this is on another thread (point me to a link if it is) - who are the players with one-year options, and who is the ’star’ who doesn’t have one (Azeez?).
Ooh, Bracknell now only outside the playoffs on GD. COYR Unlikely to dislodge Merthyr though as the Welsh have a game in hand, to go along with their vastly superior GD, and next week Bracknell have to take their less than spectacular away record to play the champions Chesham. Merthyr lost their ga...
Is it a generational thing? Personally, I'd be happy to become a club that is always competitive in the top-half of the Championship, without necessarily getting promoted to the PL all that often (as my friend always messages when we make the playoffs, 'No Good Will Come Of This'). I'd derive more s...
