can I throw in another interesting law of the game that people often don't know? If a game goes to a penalty shoot out and one of the teams has had a red card during the match, the other team has to nominate a player that is excluded from the shoot out so that in case it goes way into sudden death ...

JedMaxwell Tom McIntyre's just got promoted. I look forward to welcoming him back on loan next January when he's only played three times before Christmas.

Twice in the FL Cup and once in the FA Cup ?

Portsmouth won't be playing in the FA Cup before Xmas, so it'll 3 LC apps.

Ah, of course, my mistake

Remind me again how far United got in this year’s European competition …

I can wait …

And I can’t stand Liverpool, but them losing, along with all but Villa, has cost us a CL place.
Would be seriously ironic for you if United are the team denied a place

Winston Biscuit another step towards me turning away from football tbh

what other sport will you take up?

Used to really enjoy Kabadi when it was shown on a Sunday afternoon

I imagine the only way we go into administration is if the deal collapses and Chiron put us in with their charge on the training ground. At which point the Administrators come in and sell to Chiron for a lower fee than currently agreed in principle. Assuming they'd still want us in L2. Otherwise RI...

I like to think he left Stevenage by running out the training ground and down the road while having to hoick his trousers up to stop them falling down Bloody hell, you’ve got some imagination with him running anywhere Used to think Steve Bruce had eaten most things, but we haven’t seen him for a wh...

So Dortmund and PSG will play for the right to lose to whoever wins the Citeh-Real tie tonight in the final. 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 ...

Barcelona fans prepare for their clubs champions league quarter final against PSG by chanting Vinicius muerte (Vinicius die) and throwing stones at their own teams bus, mistaking it for the PSG bus. Rather disturbingly, our local news reporters were almost laughing at this. I appreciate that anyone...

Bugger, Cheltenham are winning now

Good job Burton have messed up their winning position

Franchise FC How are Burton getting on ?
And Cheltenham ?

They haven't scored....I believe Cheltenham haven't scored either in their game.

Burton are winning

Hopefully, Cheltenham will slip up

ESPN are reporting IFAB run a trial to help enforce the six-second rule for goalkeepers holding on to the ball: https://twitter.com/DaleJohnsonESPN/status/1780201020020130025 As part of the trial, the referee shall: ⋅ start counting to eight seconds when the keeper has clear control of th...

LUX Looking forward to this evening’s games.

Who have Burton and Cheltenham got ?
Does it affect our magic number ?

Even with Everton’s abject defending Palmer is different class If he’s not in the England squad Southgate will have lost the plot (notwithstanding he has some very serious competition for a place … Foden, Saka, Bellingham) He surely will be, though I expect Saka, Bellingham and Foden will be ahead ...

Silver Fox Who would support Bolton? That's madness!!!

Anyway, I'm gleaning from the posts so far that all the other 23 teams in the division will be our rivals next year?

Born after 1995 is my guess

I think Oxford will go up this year. They've clicked. And I'm frankly very happy that we're not playing them now. Though we have got better too... even so, they seem significantly better than they were earlier in the season. I never want them in a higher division than us. This season is our low poi...

BRO_BOT I know that Man City are a steamroller come the end of the season but I'm minded of the 2012/13 season where City and Utd traded 5-point differences. The title was decided on the last day by a single-goal

I think City are a different machine to that now

God I detest Paul Merson Basically crying in the Sky studio that Arsenal are now out of the title race. Then says that Liverpool can still win it When pointed out that Arsenal are actually above Liverpool starts mumbling something about Liverpool getting a massive lift from Arsenal losing so would n...
