We need to win as many games as soon as possible and secure our L1 status - we don't know what the twat of an owner will/or won't do so we need as many points on the board (just typing that shows how low we've sunk). Anyone who thinks otherwise is deluding themselves. Yeh, a relegation battle to th...

Barnet announce plans to move back into Barnet.

I hope you manage to find yourselves owners as decent as ours. You had the best owner it was possible to have, after so much hard work and dedication from so many fans - and then you voted to sell to an outsider. I find that decision absolutely astounding and so very short-sighted. We had no future...

You had the best owner it was possible to have, after so much hard work and dedication from so many fans - and then you voted to sell to an outsider.

I find that decision absolutely astounding and so very short-sighted.

It's easy to keep competing before you get promotion or win the title - it's afterwards where it makes a difference. It's inevitable to relax that little bit once everything's confirmed.

I always loved the Leeds United protests at Elland Road in 2016

Are we (Reading) responsible for coming up with that expression? Football has an ownership problem No, it's been around for a good 15+ years. The FSA referenced Reading when they mentioned it But if its been around for ages I obviously had no interest in it as it wasn't affecting my club! That's th...

14/2/2002 A drab 0-0 draw away at Swindon in horrible conditions. Sammy Igoe sent off late in the first half, two Swindon players sent off in two minutes right at the end. A match on a Thursday, just three days after losing to Coppell's Brighton at the Withdean in similarly pissing down rain, at th...

Is Warnock still living in Plymouth? Pretty sure he's got a smallholding in the Tamar Valley, in Cornwall. Apparently he's also got a holiday home in Dunoon on the Cowal peninsula and supports Greenock Morton. :shock: Still over 4 hours away from Aberdeen mind. Late to this thread but yes - he spen...

Don't think I've ever seen any player take their shirt off as they actually score a goal. Seen plenty do it after they've scored though. Whole idea of booking a player for taking their shirt off for a few seconds is ******* stupid anyway, but if that is the rule then it should be applied 100% in ev...

Three wins on the bounce for Leicester, and the record is very much back on. They need 32 points from 15 games - still a big ask, but they are very capable of (say) 10 wins and 2 draws to the end of the season. Should win their next two at home to Middlesbrough and Sheffield Wednesday, and then it ...

It would seem pretty on brand for us to end up surviving relegation fairly comfortably only to be liquidated in July / August. If there's no takeover on the horizon, it'd be a brave individual who'd buy a season ticket when renewal time comes around It'd be a brave bank/credit card provider who'd a...

Anyone saying "... and we will be safe" really ought to be adding the caveat "assuming there are no more points deductions".

Was just looking up some Ajax detail and noticed that of their first 20 managers, covering the time period of 1910 - 1965, 12 were English, 1 Scottish and 1 Irish I didn't know that, and now want to read up more on it! I'd point you to this - the story of how Brits took football to the world. https...

All of this activity is really just the PL telling the government that they're perfectly capable of governing football themselves and so an independent regulator is not needed, thank you very much.

How does it work for promoted clubs like Forrest? Are the EFL and Premier League rules the same so they can use 3 years of accounts. Don't think so, they're two different jurisdictions. Bournemouth got fined by the EFL for breaking the rules when they went up, so I don't see how that can have count...

Shame it took an abandonment for them to express any sort of empathy. But this raises the still unclear question, they don’t have the power then who does? At the moment feels like only the UK government can intervene. That's because only the UK Gov can intervene. And to be honest it seems too late ...
