Re: MATCHWATCH : Barnsley (a)

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...

Re: Weekend Football

Wolves 01/02 is the all time classic. Top 2 almost all season, dropped from 1st to 2nd place with 7 games to go, dropped from 2nd to 3rd with 2 games to go letting West Brom take 2nd. Won just 2 of the final 9 games Lost in the play off semi's to 6th placed Norwich Didn’t they let someone down agai...

Re: Weekend Football

Winston Biscuit Spurs doing Spurs things.

Leeds lose. Top of the Champ is insane.

Southampton are just about still in it, with the games in hand
Although playing a lot of high profile games now is going to be tough

Snowflake Royal I'd argue the person making the positive assertion has the burden of evidence.

Ie that getting players to stand in front of fans and take dogs abuse is positive.

:P

You’d argue absolutely anything

Re: MATCHWATCH : Bristol Rovers (a)

Yeah, bloody duality of language! It's not that the concept of going over to the fans and acknowledging them, even when things aren't going well is wrong. It's that there is a time and a place when it's counter productive and harmful to do it. Yes, the general ethos of doing it was right from the s...

Re: Weekend Football

Winston Biscuit Leicester lose :lol:

Less than three weeks ago we were still considering that they might beat 106
They’re going to have to win the rest to hit 100

They couldn’t miss out could they ?

Re: Weekend Football

LUX Now that the106 is safe, I’m sort of up for them.

And Leeds.

I’d say I’m in the minority hoping that, of the three, Ipswich miss out.

Given that they are two of those under threat of sanctions I won’t be following your lead on that one

Re: The Magic Number Thread

That would mean 20 teams would finish with at least 79 points, and 1 team with 78 points. That would total 1,658 points (if we say the bottom 3 teams all scored 0 points). 24 teams in the League; each plays 46 times. = 1,104 games in total. 3 points per game = 3,312 points. However, 50% of the game...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Might the fact that IIRC there is a minority shareholder of the club be an issue ? Doesn’t one of the Thai’s still have some holding ? Obviously Dai can’t sell their shares and if a new owner wants 100 % of the club then the small shareholder has a bit of a ransom situation. I can’t remember the ru...

Re: Generic clubs in financial crisis Thread

It’s got me thinking that transfers should be financed as … 1. All base fees paid up front with no stage payments 2. All add ons placed in escrow 3. All fees and taxes to be paid in full within 14 days, otherwise the registration is cancelled, meaning the buying club still has to pay the player, bu...

This was given as a penalty.

Whilst I can’t imagine what the referee saw to think that was inside the box, wtf was the assistant doing ?

Re: Rival Watch

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...

Re: Weekend Football

genome Phil Foden is unreal

Pep has downloaded some sort of cheat code

It’s ok though, because Wazzer thinks Foden’s got ten years to go to be as good as Salah
[checks notes] Salah was being loaned out from a pretty ordinary spell at Chelsea at the same age

I doubt Port Vale’s keeper will be quite so accommodating as to gift them two, sadly
