I boycotted the world cup but could have predicted that England would go out the moment they met an on form top 10 team.
Failed Championship manager wasting the talents of a golden generation.

If I've understood the law correctly, the gambling commission don't cover this, you need to apply to the local council and register the small society lottery at a cost of 40 pounds. Obviously there are plenty of rules that apply from there on and you have to wait for them to process the application....

ClaretTony has a team of diminutive refugees from a secret location in the North, one of them holds the thread as it was and another knits the new words into the tapestry of the web with magical thread. It's a wonder to behold I can tell you. As soon as some one presses edit they stop the space time...

I was checking out the top spend on a player in the Championship and turns out it was Ruben Neves to Wolves for around 16m. Can we really see Burnley going for a near all time Champ record on a player? (15m) If Coventry are really holding out for 15m I'll bet that we can find cheaper players around...

Check the club website - training video as well as good coverage of Cork and Barnes beginning their coaching badges I'm not sure that Corky and Ash standing on the edge of a pitch shouting at youngsters constitutes preparations for the return to action but yeah. Good to see that the club have had o...

5 days before the restart and I haven't seen much news at all. I thought we'd have stories about the lads returning to training, reports of behind closed doors friendlies or something. Ashley Barnes telling us how he's raring to go and carry on where he left off....

You have to take the context into account. Under Coyle we'd never been up to the Premier League and when Barry Kilby made the 'Chairman's pledge' nobody really expected it to happen. The cup run and the play-offs certainly added to the excitement factor under OC but most of that was in the second ha...

The National League is full of ex football league clubs. Notts County, Wrexham, Chesterfield, Barnet, Southend, Dagenham and REdbrige, Halifax, Aldershot, York, Yeovil, Maidstone, Torquay, Oldham and Scunny. Not such a surprise to see some of them at the bottom when there are so many. Chester, Scarb...

Not exactly prolific though, is he? Had three full seasons now in the Championship. 19 goals last season, 9 this season. If he was Mitrovic we'd be looking at 25m+. As VK said, we don't need an out and out goal scorer, we need someone who fits with the way we play. I'd rather have this guy than Oba...

22 next month and has already played 78 games for in 3 seasons for Wycombe including 29 in the Championship.

I'm not sure we really need another attacking midfielder but he's already matched his 7 goal tally from last season. Could have a bright future.

Richardson seems to be highly thought of at Grimsby, maybe he hasn't been scoring for fun but a lot of Grimsby fans seem to think they are more of a threat when he's on the pitch.

Seems to be doing well at Bristol Rovers. 3 goals in his 12 games is pretty impressive for a centre half. The linked article rates him as their best signing of the summer. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/american-football/bobby-thomas-3d-8510-rating-all-of-bristol-rovers-e2-80-99-summer-signings-out...

Helm. Give him a go.

Who do you suggest we should leave out so that we can hive him a go? Cork? Cullen?

I'd have thought the natural next step for a player like Helm would be a loan to a lower league team.

Definitely before 84. I worked there in 86 and it was clearly well established and nobody spoke about it only being open for a few years. There were clearly quite a few people who'd been working there for a while. It was actually a great place to work as a teenager, it was almost Sean Dychesque in t...

I have to admit, I'm not really a fan of these videos, strange camera angles, a lot of movement, I really struggle to watch them. I much prefer the extended highlights.

It was noticeable that AB was taking up some very good positions and finding space. No doubt finding space was helped by the mesmeric movement of the other players who were frightening and confusing the Blackburn defenders. His second goal was a great example, both in terms of the build up play, an...

The most penalties for any team in the Championship in the last 5 years was PNE with 11 in 19/20. Most seasons the highest is 9. I think we probably had fewer than 9 in the entire time SD was in charge! With Benson, Tella and Zaroury adding some fleet footed trickery to our attack it's interesting t...

At the beginning of October it looked like Norwich and Sheffield United were well clear of the chasing pack. Norwich have won 2 of their last 10 games picking up 9 points, if that had been from the start of the season they'd be bottom 3. Sheffield Utd are 10th in the form table over the last 12 game...

...has totally surpassed my expectation. VK had no experience of the championship but he's managed it well. Plenty of players who've never played at this level but have risen to the challenge, I'm thinking of Vitinho, Benson, Beyer and Zaroury in particular. Pleased to see that VK has not been scare...

Normally players who have a really good tournament are then in demand in the next transfer window. That'll be a bit strange this time round with it being January and not the summer. Personally I hope he plays a blinder and gets a big money transfer. He isn't even guaranteed a place in our starting X...

His legs have gone, only good enough to score against Rochdale? Isn't that what people were saying about Jay Rod last year. Deja vu anyone? Has anybody actually seen statstics on Barnes' running?

Just 1 player (probably Jay-Rod) reaching 15 probably won't be enough to get promoted. Looking at the teams promoted over the last 10 seasons from the championship, they have all had at least 1 striker who has bagged more than 20 goals and in teams that have averaged more than 2 goals per game. Ver...

If we continue to score the same number of goals per game then we'll score 85 for the season. If the spread of the goals is the same then only Jay Rod will get more than 15 and that's assuming he stays our main striker and stays fit for the rest of the season. If we improve and score 100 goals by th...

It's inevitable with the 5 sub rule that teams are going to make changes to their attacking options and this surely means that strikers and wingers are just going to have to get used to not playing 90 minutes. I would like to think that VK and our recruitment team had seen something that they can im...

I reckon 8 of our starting line up are pretty much undroppable. Muric, TBH, Cork, Cullen, Zaroury, Brownhill, Tella and JayRod. With Cork and Cullen both missing Bastien is the first name that comes to mind but he isn't as defensive a player as Cullen, could VK play Vitinho in there instead? Whether...

Jay Rod has 0.65 goals per 90 minutes, if he played every minute of every game until the end of the season he'd finish the season on 29.9 goals scoring at the rate his is now. Obviously he's not going to play the full 90 every game though. If he carries on scoring at the same rate per game played 8 ...

We'd get taken apart on the counter, we're nowhere near in terms of defending set pieces and we'd struggle to score goals. Other than that we'd be a pleasure to watch if you like seeing us pass the ball around with no end product. Despite the weaknesses we could go top again tonight. Just shows the ...

Is that 6 for the season for Costelloe? How many times have we seen players score for fun in the youth teams but not make it at first team level?

I don't think he does them for every game, particularly midweek.
So far this season he's done Huddesfield, Luton, Watford, Hull, Wigan, PNE, Norwich, Bristol, Cardiff.
He didn't do West Brom, Blackpool or Millwall.

He went a bit heavy on the commas in that first sentence. You can blame me for the translation.

Message from Eric Cantona : Me, a lover of football, with a heavy heart, I have made my decision, I will follow it. I will not watch a single match of this world cup.

But any comparison made between right now and being good enough for the Prem, its just completely irrelevant. Firstly, we haven’t seen enough of the players to even make that judgement and secondly, many are young/new to the league and do probably need a year at this level to develop (Kompany has a...

Lots of references there to the Premier League. We aren't playing in it. To criticise Benson and Cullen for not being good enough for a league they don't play in, it seems harsh. We shouldn't be focussing on whether this team will get thumped in the league above because that's the case for every te...

Impressed with Tucker this afternoon. Scored a great first with his left peg and then when his right foot shot was blocked he put away his second with his left. Made me wonder, is he another left footed right winger like JBG?

I reckon Obafemi will join. Swansea are entertaining bids, benched him last night - they're broke and they need a sale. They expected interest in Piroe and have had none.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Adam Phillips go permanently and Bobby Thomas go out on loan.
