Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

"Party time"-we need at least a draw to stop Blackpool's outside chance of making the top 6 and possible promotion which would put paid to our party time fixture away there next season. So there is an incentive. Blackpool away is your party time fixture? Jeez, Rotherham and Stevenage are ...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I've been told that there could be some good news this week. We might be finally coming to an end to the saga. If it is announced as complete before Saturday, then that will be an amazing way to end a trying campaign. Carefree home game, with potentially close to a 20k crowd. Party time. "Part...

Re: Ex Players

The commentator of Stevenage's game at Oxford during the week said that Nesta Guinness-Walker is the great grandson of Sir Alec Guinness.
That one passed me by if indeed it was common knowledge in his time here.

Re: Weekend Football

This is always my feeling. Offside pre-VAR was a lot more around actually being in front of other players, anything reasonably level was deemed fine. What i will say is this, we are the only country that does it like this. You don't get these situations in the Bundesliga, you dont get them in UEFA ...

Re: Weekend Football

Winston Biscuit enjoyed the video of the Man Utd fans outside Wembley, who quickly left when Cov thought they got the winner, but then heard it was VAR'd out, running to get back into the ground :lol:


Can't blame those Man Utd fans it can be tricky getting to Colchester or Croydon on a Sunday night.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Burton Albion (h)

You may want to send a note with your world beating ideas to Pep and Arteta, amongst others :D An old fashioned idea perhaps but at our lowly level I think the better set up is to have a winger playing on his "correct" side and being able to cross a ball that comes away from the keeper wh...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Burton Albion (h)

Burton are so poor. If they win this, it'll be 2 points from our fixtures with them, Fleetwood and Shrewsbury. Incredible. You could just as well substitute Reading for Burton in your post. We are not very good-we have had some decent performances over the season but the table only lies because of ...

PL top goalscorer. Cole has an extra game than the rest left to play too Screenshot from 2024-04-16 09-43-00.png 9 of Palmers goals are penalties. Look at Watkins, no penalties and more assists. Villa would struggle without him. If Arsenal had him they would be out of sight now. That's just nonsens...

Re: FA Cup Changes

This is all very much like our Tory Government-decide and announce something and then probably back-track and then say "we listened" (eventually) As for this whole raft of changes if the money really does get down to the lower clubs then fine but in saying "grassroots" it is uncl...

Re: Champions League, Europa League & Europa Conference League 23/24

Watched the Arsenal game as I had a decent bet on Bayern Munich to win-great value at odds against playing at home. Arsenal created very little and deserved to lose-our English players Rice and Saka looked far from players that will get us the win in the Euros back in Germany and once again Odegaard...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Having grown up watching League 1 football, it doesn't bother me. It's the nervous excitement on the morning of matchday, it's the anticipation of a hard fought game that gets me interested. This is the first season in years where I've got that Even in the Premiership, I didn't give a shit about wh...

Re: Champions League, Europa League & Europa Conference League 23/24

I know it's just a bit of a meme, but I do find it a bit silly that, across social media, Kane is openly mocked. He's the second highest PL scorer in history, and he's gone to Germany and got 39 in 39 games for Bayern. Not to mention his 62 goals for England. This isn't a play who doesn't deliver -...

Re: transfer deadline day thread

He’s certainly not a bad player and still relatively young My main problem with him is as a big tall CB he just never really dominates in the air in the way you watch other CBs at that level do. Often gets beaten in the air and likewise doesn’t get on the end of corners etc when attacking very ofte...

Re: Weekend Football

Is Arteta seriously leaving Jesus and Zinchenko on? I think Man City must have rubbed their hands with joy and laughed when collecting the money from Arsenal for those two-City knew what they were doing despite the so-called experts criticising their sales at the time. Regarding Ascot Gunner's deri...
