Re: Rivals to the "106" team?

Our last 20 league games have resulted in an incredible record of P20 W16 D1 L3 F37 D14 Pts49 GD+23 Whilst I appreciate that "if my aunty had had balls she'd have been my uncle", thought it worth mentioning that had we kept this level if success up for a full season, our finishing record ...

Re: Generic clubs in financial crisis Thread

It is understood the Premier League believes the rule is necessary to protect the integrity of its competition, clubs and players. Doesn't that just ay it all! :roll: Here's hoping the judge rules in favour of HMRC. What I still don't understand though is who approved this Football Creditor's law i...

Re: Record Watch 2011-12

Just had a quick look at our 2005/06 record after 36 games, to compare to Charlton. We had 86 - they have 78. What I did notice was that the team in 7th had 53 - 33 points behind with 10 games left. :lol: :lol: iirc we were "promoted" that season when we beat Southampton on 10th Feb - 13 ...

Re: Record Watch 2011-12

I still find it amazing that, during our 106 season, both Sonko & Ingimarsson started all 46 league games. And picked up 1 yellow card between them. Of all the records we set that season, that one is just :shock: They both played the majority of the games the previous year (Ivar played 44, Sonk...

I think they should be made an example of and be relegated! :lol: As I said on the team board, I'm sure there is a lower league precedent of losing all th epoints gained from games in which that player has played.
