Re: European Leagues Thread 2012/2013

They won it that season so qualified to be in it again the next Crikey - wonder if they are the lowest placed side to win a European competition in recent times? Edit: was a remarkable run through the competition. This was in the days of it being a two-legged cup competition, Schalke won the trophy...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I think the moments are just more memorable in the Premier League seasons. Even in the years we went down, we had some of our best moments. Beating Liverpool in 2007, the comeback win at home to Everton in 2012 when they were still good. January 2013 where Le Fondre was player of the month and McDe...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Agree. I want us to compete at the highest level we can. Maybe we’d go into each season knowing we only had a 1 in 300 chance of winning the league, but we’d have a better standard of player and opponent, and even if we finished last we’d still be “above” every Championship team. Seeing us lose 4-0...

Don't call me shirley.

And he'll win the Bundesliga next year.


Arsenal across 180 minutes led for 6.

Re: Champions League, Europa League & Europa Conference League 23/24

Having watched Man City repeatedly lose to inferior opposition in the Champs League in person in several of the past years CL campaigns, i see plenty of risk posed by Bayern Munich. I still think Pep is not that good at big games. Gets beaten more than he should. Bayern will go out tonight. Their s...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Burton Albion (h)

There’s something I really dislike about Burton. Not really justified as they are a solid enough club. Think it goes back to Stam 1-2 game in front of a full house, just brings back awful memories Probably the funniest goal we've ever conceded btw Off the top of my head, Mannone booting a clearance...

Re: The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

Bit of a twat move to bugger off whilst Stevenage still have, an albeit very long shot at the play-offs - Especially 2 days before they play Oxford, who are the club they need to catch.

Re: Generic clubs in financial crisis Thread

You just can't make these things up when it comes to what these clubs will do to get more money. Yet another club that might go the same way as Man City but won't. What year did they reckon the charges might actually get to be heard? If the charges are PSR related then it will be heard relatively q...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Burton Albion (h)

If the team are not on the beach this should be a comfortable 2-0 win. We will score, so just need to defend well and we should win - if we get ahead early and news filters through of Cheltenham winning, they will panic and we should be able to pick them off. Watched Burton v Cheltenham last night ...

Re: Ups & Downs 23/24

Are teams getting more points these days? I am not just talking about the Championship. I am sure 90 points used to feel like a pretty special achievement 20-30 years back, but seems to almost happen as standard nowadays (I may also just be misremembering, which I do a lot of) League 1 this year co...

Re: Royals on the Box/Internet Thread

A disaster for any match going fans who face the inconvenience of early kick-off times in order to accommodate live TV and also for the club who will be worse off. I've heard RoyalsTV is a nice revenue generator for them, particularly on a midweek when a number of STH's won't attend home matches bu...
