genome You can't predict the future

Oh yes you can

I knew you'd say that.

The Wessex League title race goes down to a nail-biting finish. Top of the table Blackfield & Langley will be champions if they can only avoid a 31-0 defeat at Brockenhurst. The tension will be unbearable.

We had 3 or 4 good strikers that season too. Kitson, Lita, Doyle and Long. God, I wish we had even one of that standard now. Unbelievable to think we had those four on our books at the same time. Mind you, they all suffered from injuries, so Coppell rarely had to make a choice as to who would play....

Sutekh Bracknell Town 8-0 Tuffley Rovers

Anyone else think Tuffley Rovers sounds like a football team from a book by Beatrix Potter?

0-6, 1-6 in the past 20 odd years.....no Sorry. I meant is this our worst ever season at home since we were established in 1871. It must be very close. It's joint worst. At exactly 1 point per game, it matches the 87/88 relegation season. We've never had a worse record at home (recalculating old se...

What perspective exactly sees today's game as anything other than a complete disgrace? One that's seen us get relegated before, play much worse than that before, play at lower levels before, and go entire matches without threatening against equally-mediocre opposition. Shit happens. Yeah, because y...

So-called fans booing as they walked out - get over yourselves. Honestly our support this season has been worse than every player except Martin. Complete joke and an embarrassment. Get a sense of perspective. What perspective exactly sees today's game as anything other than a complete disgrace? Tha...

I'd be pretty freaky for both 5th and 6th placed teams, Derby and Preston, to lose at home to Burton and Barnsley, so relegation is very unlikely. We'll have been saved by other teams being rubbish though. We could well stay up with just 43 points. You have to go back to 1985 for the last time when ...

Molineux was condemned on two sides in the 80s, and the stand down the other side was about 30 yards from the pitch. http://i68.tinypic.com/258rrk8.jpg I think Hartlepool had about 10 years with their ground looking like this, after their wooden main stand got condemned after the Bradford fire. It w...

Ah forgot about Northampton. That was pretty legendary. One side bordering the cricket pitch, rest of it a dilapidated mess. Yep and miles from the station. For those who never went, it needs to be mentioned that the ground only had 2 and a half sides. One end (the rear half fenced off) only reache...

Mid Sussex Royal Think quite a few old grounds had wooden terracing pre 1985 Bradford fire, Gigg Lane? Deepdale?

Old Trafford had it into the early 90s, in the corner between the Stretford End and the Main Stand.

Surprising that Jonathan Low is still referring us being involved in a relegation battle. It would now take an awful lot of results to go against us for us to go down now. a defeat for us, and wins for Bolton and Barnsley on Saturday would make it very nervous final day again. Of those three, defea...

Off to Scours Lane tonight to watch Bracknell get promoted. Get it sorted tonight so I can miss the final game on Sat and watch Reading through my fingers instead. Or go down to Lydney on Thursday. A draw will effectively be enough, unless Wantage can turn round a 35 goal GD deficit in two matches.

Why would they have to know? They'd only have to spot the potential. They could also raise their flag. The ref just wouldn't automatically whistle. In short, they could truly give the attacking side the benefit of the doubt in decisions, without having to worry about be slated for getting it wrong....

Napoli win 1-0 away at Juve with a 90th minute goal. Gap down to 1 point, title race back on! Of the 4 remaining games they both have Juve have to go away to Roma and away to Inter while Napoli's hardest fixture is a trip to 8th placed Sampdoria As mentioned previously, I've a keen interest in this...

I think that’s already started during the pilot. My issue with it is that it’ll lead to more disallowed goals which will dilute the moment of celebration more (over time, not right now) and will end up with a chunk of play being as good as irrelevant. Also, if you let such decisions go you’ll end u...

One thing I would like to see happen with VAR is referees not blow the whistle for offside unless it's a clear decision. If the player goes on to score, VAR could sort it out.

Yes we got 2 wins but anyone who thinks those wins weren't largely down to luck is lying to themself. There wasn't that much luck in the two clean sheets in those games. The effort the team put into defending those leads was outstanding. I don't think we'd have seen the same levels of determination...
