Re: The footballer gets arrested thread

he is a good example of someone who spent his whole career moving around clubs, gradually working his down the levels as he failed to succeed at every club he joined, but always continuing to get more opportunities simply because he is already in the world of football and has played for other clubs...

Re: Champions League, Europa League & Europa Conference League 24/25

6ft Kerplunk
Winston Biscuit 3 goals that are all penalties shouldn't count as a hat-trick

#Winstfacts

They should be only if he took one with his right foot, one with his left foot and somehow headed in the third.


I saw Trevor Morley scored a penalty rebound with his head, does that count?

Re: Rumour - Selles to Stoke?

If he were to leave, move now and he's got 3 months stuck with whatever he inherits, coupled with a level of expectation. I'd be more worried about him moving come December if we're still in the same position as we are now. Regardless of how things go between now and Christmas, he'd still have the o...

Re: Rival Watch

I didn't realise Lyndon Dykes played for Birmingham now. Is there no FFP any more? They've been a Jude Bellingham away from destroying FFP for the past 5 years. I reckon they need back to back promotions to avoid falling foul of it because spending £30m in the summer summer isn't really sustainable...

Re: Rival Watch

I only really saw the first 20 minutes of the second half but Birmingham should have had 5 in that spell rather than just the 2 they did get. Wrexham kept giving the ball away in their own half and then resorted to hacking.

Re: Football stats

The most incredible thing about that stat is that Chris Wood has scored 71 Premier league goals (for 4 clubs over 9 seasons).

Re: TAKEOVER CONFRIMATION EXPECTED

This is how I remember it. Same here. I recall "stundent" was a deliberate typo, but "confrimation" was accidental. When was the last time anyone new on the board was greeted with "F**k off newbie!" I thought stundent was a typo which then became an intentional typo. P...

blythspartan Please can you spell ’Confirmation’ correctly. I wouldn’t normally be so pedantic, but I thought it might help the page count.

Re: TAKEOVER - TODAY COULD BE THE DAY! (or not?)

Indeed but apparently he knows the club and, being a property developer, should know his way around the law. At least I think that was the rationale.

I think his ban starts as soon as the sale is finalised regardless, or it was postponed for 6 months to allow the sale.

Re: TAKEOVER - TODAY COULD BE THE DAY! (or not?)

Can anyone confirm there's no place for Nigel Howe in the new org? He seems as culpable as the outgoing owner. No idea for sure until new owners are confirmed and they appoint whoever it is they want but would say both Howe and Bowen are extremely unlikely to be part of the new management constitut...

Re: Bowen sacked

Not convinced he would have still been here post takeover so, whilst it does look like an ever so convenient way of moving him on on the cheap, he has made it very easy for them. I quite liked him and I do think he did some very good work here but I understand the desire for a new broom to sweep the...

Wasn't long ago that it would get commented on how almost no English players would go abroad, but its amazing how quickly its become so much more common that its almost not even noteworthy now.
