We're essentially already in a league of 6 (poss 7 with Bolton) and the bottom 3 will come from that group. We are actually doing well in that section having W3 L1 against the teams down there. If we can continue picking up points of them and somehow beat a team placed 16th or higher, that should be...

There's always an element of moving the goalposts when it comes to criticising the bigger teams, I find. Were winning ten on the spin easy, whoever the opponent, it would happen all the time, but it isn't. Goes for Liverpool too - they beat the big sides, and then hammer the little sides but get he...

There is apparently an attitude problem in the squad currently, adding an individual with a known attitude problem is hardly going to resolve that.

The Kelly pass summed us up-far too concerned with going backwards rather than forwards and last night you couldn't help think that nothing has changed much from the days of Stam. I hope Clement can patch things up with Barrow as the options of him (on form) and McCleary (fit) might mean that we ge...

Too many changes. Does he know his favoured starting line up? I think he does but injury/form (mainly injury) has meant he hasn't been able to field it. As a result, he is chasing his tail given the frankly terrible level of mistakes being made. He makes some changes to strengthen a weakness but sa...

Isn't this the equivalent of Premier League clubs having "B teams" in the Championship? Or the much maligned Checkatrade cup changes? No, it would be the same as the Premier League clubs having a B Team in the Hellenic. You know what I mean. People objected to the Checkatrade cup format b...

I quite like what Plymouth have done and thrown a development side into the non-league pyramid. Could well be good for an u21/23 side to be in the Hellenic. Great idea! Isn't this the equivalent of Premier League clubs having "B teams" in the Championship? Or the much maligned Checkatrade...

Some basic rushed numbers that are probably completely wrong because it's Monday morning, but whatever 2,175 (half the south stand capacity) x £20 we charge for away tickets = £43,500 per game x 23 home games = £1,000,500 lost over the course of the season IF every away team sell out the South Stan...

So let me get this straight people are worried closing half the South Stand to away fans is losing us cash despite the fact that only Wednesday sold their allocation (and 10% of those didn't show up) Derby - 1947 (went to pay on the day) Sheff Weds - 1933 (apparently sold out their 2200 allocation b...

Another good result. This is where hope must be for the future. Keep up the good work, lads! You’d hope so. U23s up to 3rd again and couple of lads there looking pretty strong Now in my opinion U21/3 teams should be scrapped and replaced with proper old fashioned reserve teams (where perhaps there ...

The decision to remove Wenger was a very wise one. Arsenal are on a great run and now are a bit more resiliant under pressure. The Arsenal of old buckle when Leicester take the lead but Emery has changed that. They are a few players away from being genuine contenders, desperately need a world class...

So are Brentford sticking with Thomas Frank? Yeah probably a wise move. Will keep things more or less status quo and knows all of the players. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Makes sense really. Frank, though, may be the only manager to ever resign after the club chairman logged on to a fans forum ...

I think there's a massive range in how serious teams are taking it, however, the lower down the ladder, it does seem that its throwing up competitive matches between countries. So, yeah, probably worthwhile for that. I think it'll take two or three iterations to settle down, but the final stages (2...

I like it. Two qualifying tournaments for the same set of finals being held at the same time. Only the football authorities could come up with something so mental to make qualification for a tournament finals so over-complicated and confusing (talking the Euros 202 qualification set up and process ...

Great work from Southgate and the team. An amazing result to win in Spain A word on Pickford though. 2 of our goals came from his well placed kicks but ... What was the dive before any shot came in? Somehow he ended up saving the shot that followed! And the needless corner? And the dithering that l...

Bournemouth FC 6-0 Newquay I get the impression Cornish football isnt of the highest standard. Newquay have made a decent start in the South West Pennisula league (Step 6) but looked way below Bournemouth's level (Step 5). Minor Pendant alert : ...I feel you ought to ask Bridport (0-6 v Falmouth) o...

[b]The complicated bit is that the Nations League doubles up as a repecharge tournament for teams who don't qualify for the Euros (replacing current play-off) - 1 spot is available to each league, so means a smaller nation will qualify for Euro 2020. If the league finished today, one of Georgia, Ma...

Yep, would be very surprised if they aren't in the repecharge given there are 12 spots they could take after the first 20 teams have qualified.
