Spanish day similar to what we did when Jose Gomes kept us up? I'm sure a lot of fans have a load of holiday tat from the Costas/Canaries/Balerics they could bring along.... There’s a pretty ‘good’* tat shop just down the road from us *By good I mean there’s a huge amount of tat available Send me y...

Snowball

Franchise FC

Snowflake Royal I'd argue the person making the positive assertion has the burden of evidence.

Ie that getting players to stand in front of fans and take dogs abuse is positive.

You’d argue absolutely anything

OH, NO HE WOULDN'T!!

He’s behind you

Yeah, bloody duality of language! It's not that the concept of going over to the fans and acknowledging them, even when things aren't going well is wrong. It's that there is a time and a place when it's counter productive and harmful to do it. Yes, the general ethos of doing it was right from the s...

Winston Biscuit Leicester lose

Less than three weeks ago we were still considering that they might beat 106
They’re going to have to win the rest to hit 100

They couldn’t miss out could they ?

LUX Now that the106 is safe, I’m sort of up for them.

And Leeds.

I’d say I’m in the minority hoping that, of the three, Ipswich miss out.

Given that they are two of those under threat of sanctions I won’t be following your lead on that one

Leicester are doing their very best to miss out on auto
I assume to win the playoffs for some extra cash

That would mean 20 teams would finish with at least 79 points, and 1 team with 78 points. That would total 1,658 points (if we say the bottom 3 teams all scored 0 points). 24 teams in the League; each plays 46 times. = 1,104 games in total. 3 points per game = 3,312 points. However, 50% of the game...

Might the fact that IIRC there is a minority shareholder of the club be an issue ? Doesn’t one of the Thai’s still have some holding ? Obviously Dai can’t sell their shares and if a new owner wants 100 % of the club then the small shareholder has a bit of a ransom situation. I can’t remember the ru...

It’s got me thinking that transfers should be financed as … 1. All base fees paid up front with no stage payments 2. All add ons placed in escrow 3. All fees and taxes to be paid in full within 14 days, otherwise the registration is cancelled, meaning the buying club still has to pay the player, bu...

Winston Biscuit Stade Reims expecting Will Still to leave at the end of the season

Been rumours for weeks that Sunderland are chasing him

Will Will Still still be at Reims next season?

Yes ! (not to him remaining there, necesarily)

This was given as a penalty.

Whilst I can’t imagine what the referee saw to think that was inside the box, wtf was the assistant doing ?
He clearly wasn’t looking

After Oldham’s great escape in the 92/93 premiership season I’d never take anything as a given until we’re mathematically safe. I am pretty sure Oldham were 9 points behind Palace with 3 games left and survived. I remember thinking we were safe in 2007/8 and that ended badly. Obviously, I am very c...

genome Phil Foden is unreal

Pep has downloaded some sort of cheat code

It’s ok though, because Wazzer thinks Foden’s got ten years to go to be as good as Salah
[checks notes] Salah was being loaned out from a pretty ordinary spell at Chelsea at the same age

In all the excitement of a midweek away win I totally forgot about Leicester

Woke up to double delight

LUX We need Peterborough to beat Port Vale on Wednesday.

I doubt Port Vale’s keeper will be quite so accommodating as to gift them two, sadly

Winston Biscuit Only been watching bits but Rangers look awful

And yet they’re level … not for long

Winston Biscuit Potential title decider kicking off shortly in Scotchland

I see Jaap Stam had to change his name to get the Rangers job

rabidbee Magic number down to 10 (12), with 12 to play for.

Are you sure it’s not 11 ?

[edit]
No, you’re right
Port Vale threw me

I gave all mine away when we moved … primarily because I never wore them and they needed a good home
