Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Yeh, nobody minds L1 too much now. Good away days, we have a likeable team who compete every week. If the takeover happens, we'll probably remain patient for a couple of years and then we'll start becoming frustrated. If you read the Pompey reaction to promotion, a lot of it is focused on just how l...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Each to their own I guess. I'd happily take being a Brentford, Fulham or Palace, let alone a Brighton. Just as long as I continued to appreciate it. Some younger Palace fans want Parish and fellow owners out; the same owners who bought them out from administration, avoided relegation to L1 and then...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Burton Albion (h)

There’s something I really dislike about Burton. Not really justified as they are a solid enough club. Think it goes back to Stam 1-2 game in front of a full house, just brings back awful memories Probably the funniest goal we've ever conceded btw Sure there must be worse ones than that (the Darlin...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Burton Albion (h)

I knew they were bad, the table doesn't lie. But 8 straight defeats at home - fcuk me, that must be a club record. And it includes Carlisle and Cheltenham too.

I think we'll win. We're en route to ditching our Charity FC tendencies. Rovers didn't break their scoring duck against us, for starters.

Re: Rival Watch

We can't save Vale. I think we'll beat Burton on Saturday but it means nothing as Vale won't pick up another point. In fact, except for Fleetwood and Burton meeting on the final day, it wouldn't surprise if the bottom 5 collectively gain 0 points for the remainder of the season.

Re: Rival Watch

Burton beating Cheltenham, Port Vale losing and Shrewsbury with a surprise lead at Bolton. It's 99% confirmed that the current bottom 4 are gone if results stay the same.

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

Feels like plenty are on the cusp of having a 1st team impact. The pizza cup is a useful halfway house to see who may be ready. What does an XI look like? I'd suggest CBC Abrefa Strickland Dean Ryan Senga Craig/Savage Camara Elliott Ehibhatiomhan Wareham Anyone else I missed? I feel like that team c...

Re: The Magic Number Thread

Looking forward to this evening’s games. Who have Burton and Cheltenham got ? Does it affect our magic number ? The magic number is currently 0 so, no, their games won't change it. Surely it can go negative given suspended points deductions? -5 means we can afford not to pay our staff and get Black...

Re: Weekend Football

Even with Everton’s abject defending Palmer is different class If he’s not in the England squad Southgate will have lost the plot (notwithstanding he has some very serious competition for a place … Foden, Saka, Bellingham) He surely will be, though I expect Saka, Bellingham and Foden will be ahead ...

Re: Ups & Downs 23/24

Dirk Gently For further context, Everton's stadium is costing £500M - although I suspect it may have gone up a bit since then. So £3B is just a ridiculous estimate.

Think it's large development of retail, residential, training facilities plus stadium. So £3bn certainly realistic.

Re: Rival Watch

1995 was a long time ago. Their fans have been among the best for supporting our plight this season. Plus, I don't want them in L1 next season as they're a quality team at this level who would be favourites to win the league if they stay down.

Re: Rival Watch

I think Oxford will go up this year. They've clicked. And I'm frankly very happy that we're not playing them now. Though we have got better too... even so, they seem significantly better than they were earlier in the season. I never want them in a higher division than us. This season is our low poi...

Re: Rival Watch

With rival watch this season pretty much over, I wonder who will be our main rivals next season. I'm not expecting any teams to be as strong as this year's top 3, but I think there will be plenty in the mix. 2 of the 3 coming down will be teams who were competition in the Championship, while Rotherh...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Their involvement can give them some golden years and leave them in a much better position when they finally leave, but long term I don't see how Wrexham can sustain a Championship team in the same way we can't sustain a Premier League club. Population, geography and being a "big club" do...

Re: Looking forward to the 2024-25 season

We will naturally lose a couple of the OOC players, as some will get tempting offers from a division above & we may need to fend off interest in Wing, Smith & Knibbs but, maybe naively, this squad seem to love working together, working for this manager and there is clearly a refound bond be...

Here's where I'm at.
