Re: CONFIMRED - The 2nd final countdown

Apologies if I missed it, but no-one seems to have commented on the club’s message to fans yesterday. I wonder what prompted it - the EFL, the police, STAR? It did strike me as an indication that the sale won’t have completed before Saturday’s game, but I suppose it could apply equally in the event...

Re: CONFIMRED - The 2nd final countdown

This looks like a politically motivated leak by the PL to distance themselves from the shitshow. Though why they would think this bolster their arguments against the regulator is beyond me. As with any statement, there will be a grain of truth but the PL will know that the EFL will also have had no...

Re: CONFIMRED - The 2nd final countdown

So Huang kad posts a picture of a purple turtle. An hour later the club announce the amazons will be playing in the purple turtle stage at the stadium. I mean it’s pretty undeniable the guy has information. He clearly has a contact at or works at the club in some capacity, as he clearly gets info -...

Re: Predictions for this weekend

Absolutely no pressure on us at all - so we will win 2-0 (Wing & Bodin in the last minute) - Orient game will have 3 or 4 mins more added time, so it will be shown live on the big screen as they bombard the Huddersfield goal as it is 1-1. A shot is hit towards the top corner in the final seconds...

Re: Ups & Downs 24/25

I think Preston will be the 3rd team to go down. Sheff Utd likely to finish on 92 pts. Will that be a record high for not finishing in the top 2? So what happens if Preston get relegated and Bristol City get promoted? Does The Championship hibernate for a year? The kingdom and the Tower of London w...

Re: Goal of the season 2024/25

Wing v Wrexham.

It was an absolutely stunning bit of football - we all love a thunderbastard but that bit of sublime play beats them all, for me at least.

Re: Promotion thread 2024/25

It's probably been noted, but we need a favour this weekend from Huddersfield (five defeats in a row) at home to Orient (five wins in a row). It feels unlikely. Huddersfield have had a really odd season - they went unbeaten for 16 games from early October, but are currently on a run of 11 defeats i...

Re: European Leagues Thread 2012/2013

Bayern 2 points away from the title now and will likely win the league this weekend - they travel to Leipzig. With Freiburg & Leipzig facing the top 2, Eintracht Frankfurt could qualify for the CL via the league for the first time with a win in the local derby at Mainz. A massive game at the bot...

Re: Ups & Downs 24/25

Things still to be decided in the EFL on the final day Championship Play-offs Bristol City could secure a play-off spot with a win at Leeds tonight, which is unlikely so 5 teams will battle it out to join Sheff Utd and Sunderland in the play-offs. Assuming a Bristol defeat the table will look like t...

I think Preston will be the 3rd team to go down. Sheff Utd likely to finish on 92 pts. Will that be a record high for not finishing in the top 2? Not sure, but one of Burnley or Leeds could end the season with 100 points and not be Champions. Final day at the bottom will be interesting to see who j...

Re: Rumour - Semi Ajayi

Given that Dean will likely either move on, or in to coaching next year, Bindon is off, Mbengue possibly too the signing of an experienced CB, whether that is Ajayi or someone else (assuming takeover is actually done) will be high on the list of targets.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Bristol Rovers (a)

Gunny Fishcake Fantastic support , great result pray for a miracle next week


A home win with another side failing to win away is hardly a miracle. Orient naturally start as favourites but pressure can do strange things esp if we go ahead in our game whilst they are drawing/losing.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Bristol Rovers (a)

I wonder if there's going to be any push for chasing as many goals as possible or if the team have accepted if we win both games and still lose out on G/D, thems the breaks. I mean, maybe - but that would still involve outscoring Orient by 10 goals in 2 games or a 10 goal swing. I don't think those...

Utter shambles in the combined counties Premier Division South where the play-off semi’s scheduled for this Saturday have had to be postponed.

Re: Record Watch 2024/25

Meh - holding a record like that for nearly 20 years is a good run - my feeling is that as football gets more skewed financially then whatever marker Brum end up setting (I reckon 108) will be surpassed in the very near future anyway.

Re: Promotion thread 2024/25

Of course, which is why it will be open - realistically, Orient/us are going to need 4 points to get in - either may qualify with 3 or less but that seems unlikely. It will be interesting to see how Wycombe react to their stuffing at the weekend - it will either galvanise them to get a result at Or...
