2005 was a brilliant series

Clubs don't talk about injuries these days, it's the norm. Not another thing to moan about. Not always the case. Eddie Howe has recently given full explanations of injuries for both Botman & Lascelles, how they happened and what decisions were taken and when. He revealed when surgery had taken plac...

I noticed this. We've got a whole raft of extremely good players not featuring in this game and I'm guessing that's because of the recent fixture overload. It looks like something of a makeweight team.

Exactly that. No Hugill, Healy-Byrne, Tweedy, Ward, Campbell and a few others.

Is there a reason they just didn't give Madley or Robinson the Everton v Forest game?

I’ve no idea. I’d started writing the Taylor piece and then saw the changes.

They churn out some right players at Barnsley. Can't keep any of them, obvs.

In fairness, Casper apart, none of our team played in either of the two other games this week so it’s nothing like the sort of team we’ve been putting out.

And a club statement from Grimsby Grimsby Town Football Club finds it absolutely disgraceful that such fundamental changes to the format of the FA Cup have been agreed without, it seems, any consultation outside of the English Premier League. The removal of early round replays, among other changes, ...

There was a SAG meeting yesterday - it's been on the agenda for some time and is going to be in the cricket field stand.

Amazing really, other clubs announce they are doing it, other clubs consult with fans, we just do it.

It's going to be the back few rows.

Hope the Aussie and New Zealand based fans have a great weekend. The New Zealanders are arriving with AoteroaClaret and RammyClaret61 meeting up.

Let's hope we can at least give them a performance tomorrow.

I'm glad he seems to be well on the road to recovery aftert the Top Gear crash. One of those cricketers who got people talking about the game. He's done some coaching with the England team which I think was the first time we'd seen him since that crash, and now he's doing another series with the la...

One of those players who just seemed to get setter and better in the eyes of fans the less he played.

ClaretTony

He was for sure a better bowler than batter - had some great innings of course but much more deadly and consistent with ball in hand. Some of them spells in the 2005 series were absolutely incredible. He was for me too. Very consistent as a bowler while less so as a batsman but you didn’t want to b...

England’s oldest living football international Ron Baynham passed away recently and today our oldest test cricketer Raman Sunna Row has died aged 92.

He was one of the first England openers I can remember alongside Rev David Sheppard & Geoff Pullar.

ClaretTony

Yes, you forget just how good a bowler he was. But there's footage on YouTube of him bowling to Ponting and Kallis. Two of the best batsman of the era. And he seemed to be the nemesis of Adam Gilchrist. He always claims to have not been a great bowler but that’s exactly what he was. We always seem ...

Who knew?

Details as far as contract length have been on here since he signed his last one so probably most of us knew

I had the good fortune to play against Freddie up Padiham.
He hit it miles using kids bats that he had to change every two weeks.

He really was a special player with both bat and ball

chances are though CT that we'll be winning a few more games for the money (I hope! )

We’d struggle to win less I would imagine

Andy Holt said the announcement was the first he'd heard of it.

It really is shocking when Football League club chairmen don’t even know about it.

The agreement for this is between the FA and the Premier League but no agreement with all the other leagues whose clubs play in the competition.

Do you think this will lead to smaller clubs who get home ties against big clubs requesting that the venue be switched in order to try and make more money from gate receipts if the possibility of a replay is gone? Or is that practice not allowed?

It’s against the rules

ClaretTony

I’m just bumping this for John and to wish him the very best for Sunday. He’s already had one achievement because it’s forced him to miss Bramall Lane.

All the best mate.

Sad day I think to see the end of replays - particularly for the smaller clubs in the competition. Just imagine a League Two club holding a top team to a draw at home and not having the money coming in from the replay.

Another nail in the FA Cup coffin for me is this.

It was unbelievable and made me realise who actually owned them. If it's not made much difference to their sta...

Gone from next season in all rounds from the first round.

Final will be played on the penultimate Saturday of the Premier League season with no PL games to be played on the Friday or Saturday to give the final exclusivity.

No rounds will now be played in midweek.

They’re obviously not going to state that their primary objective is to profit from BFC are they.

Every team in the Premier league tried breaking Asia. When I went to Thailand (about 10 years ago) it was Liverpool and Man Utd stuff everywhere.

As a resident of north Hampshire, a consolation for out relegation would be that it enables a possible trip to Fratton Park to see the Clarets.

Mellon is the one not getting much game time.

This is Dodgson’s 9th start, Costelloe has started 8 but Mellon just 2.
