For me: Pereira Abrefa, Mbengue, Bindon, Mola Wing, Elliott Azeez, Knibbs, Ehibhatiomhan Smith Button, Dorsett, Carson, Rushesha, Savage, Mukairu, Wareham With Carson and/or Rushesha getting 20 minutes. In fact this would be my next three teams. Pereira Yiadom, Bindon, Dorsett, Mola Wing, Savage Az...

There must be a statistical way of working it all out, anyone an expert?

Only once segregation became a thing. I have been to games when the Tilehurst End was the away end (official) and where everyone was just mixed in. Some games the South Bank was pretty much the away end ! Which is was as far back as I can remember (first game in 1989) You used to be able to pay 50p...

Benchmark for me are the Portsmouth and Bolton away games. What did they have over us, to turn us over so emphatically. Style of play? Fast wide players? Quality of player in certain positions? Match off against that with what we have now and we would be just fine, if we can find that type of playe...

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...

Bookies still offering odds, though 100/1 now

Embarrassing from Leicester. Premier League spine, spent gazillions in wages, lost 9 games. Should have walked this league. Pathetic. Reading's record will always be the greatest points achievement, as they did it without a PL level squad and gazillions in parachute payments. In fairness Ipswich ha...

I think Vale will survive given Cheltenham's last 3 games and Burton's awful form.

You can bin the thread for another season guys. Next season it should start from 138 and be updated weekly on how many more points we still need to finish top. Standards must be raised. The temptation to set it up as: Champions - 138 Promotion - 138 Play offs - 138 Survival - 138 And track all 4 is...

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....

Who the hell signed Bouzanis on a 3 year deal?

SCIAG

Mid Sussex Royal

Franchise FC Are you sure it’s not 11 ?

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

You can't get 11 points from 4 games so has to be 12

3 wins plus opponent dropping 2.

I thought the number was based on everyone's maximum points

Franchise FC

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

Are you sure it’s not 11 ?

We won at Stevenage mid week so we've finally broken the away midweek curse

Entire squad available for tomorrow except Hutchinson who barely counts. We've done a great job keeping players fit this season. We've had some injuries to Smith, Holmes, Dorsett plus a season KO to Ballard, but we haven't had constant ongoing chronic issues again. Which is fortunate as we would ha...

For those interested, Opta think we only have a 2.9% chance of relegation. I wish I shared their confidence. That's interesting, and I find that very re-assuring. When I look at their percentages for other leagues I have always been in general agreement with them. They're not stupid and look at run...

An interesting article on the Athletic today that Notts Forest have included an academic graduate in every matchday squad (including bench) since WW2. A few criteria: - Must have been signed by the club before they were 18 - Must have played in at least one youth category (not just reserves) - Fore...

The flag is grammatically correct in Spanish.

Think "Copa Del Rey" as an example of the grammar.

Good to read the above exchanges, as it shows that there is nothing leaking out from the exclusivity process. We just have to let them get on with it and we will hear any news as and when. Hopefully the team can perform on the pitch and stay up, as I suspect relegation might cause a re-think from t...

I seem to remember Wigan having points deducted after the season ended or was it just before the last game? It was only a few seasons ago but can't think why it was. Could have been to do administration, I suppose. It was for administration. If imposed close to the end of the season, it's suspended...
