Re: MATCHWATCH : Oxford United (a)

Millsy Oxford corner.

Is that different to a regular corner, like an Oxford comma?


Difficult not to read Oxford as censored swearing.

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

As I've posted before, when Rick Parry was before the Commons committee, he said the EFL's preference was to move to a squad-cost ratio (I think he said the costs of the squad should be pegged at a maximum of 70% of turnover), instead of the current system, so that the EFL could intervene pretty mu...

I wasn't at that game. From the season review video, there were horses on the pitch but I don't know whether there was a charge: https://youtu.be/OcAB7FD7Ro8?si=VDteuzy8rvRlSpNK&t=3734 There wasn't a charge but I remember one copper screaming "Get back you c***, get back" at me. They ...

Deal. Well that was easy - so just why the heck is it taking Dai so long?

Well I've just heard that WMTG does not have a box of Opal Fruits after all. Seems his wealth has been exaggerated. Looks like the deal is off

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

There's no doubt that some of our fans don't know when to wind their necks in, but it was kind of funny to see them taking the moral high ground in some twitter posts, only for some Middlesbrough fans to turn up and remind them that their saintly fans waved money at the Boro fans when it was announ...

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

I suspect you're right; Dai may be interested in selling but I don't know who would buy it because developing property on it would be so difficult. Perhaps we could turn a section into a high end health club to bring some cash in? I wouldnt rule out a developer thinking they could build houses on B...

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

I think it's the overheads of the SCL, Bearwood and academy that are killing us. Agree that with our attendances plus transfer revenue for the likes of Puscas, we should have one of the division's larger budgets but these operations eat into it. I read yesterday that we're in arrears with ProZone. ...

I also clearly recall going to Palace away years ago and joining in with the "you're in ad min i stration" to the yine of Seven nation army. Thought it was very amusing at the time!

Re: “ Sell before we Dai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group v2.3b sponsored by Sports Direct Tennis Ba

Anything could be worth a try. I see that SBWD are planning to host something on Twitter next Tuesday. It’s for fans to help them come up with further ideas. Tbf, they have come up with some good ideas but they all seem so futile in terms of forcing Dai to sell. For me, game abandonment makes a rea...

Re: Weekend Football

Trouble is, anyone involved in the game at any time in recent memory, will have heard the phrase “he has a perfect right to go down there” so many times that, scandalously, it is now a part of football’s DNA. But no, it’s not too late to fix it - it just needs the will to do so. I hate that idea, t...

Re: Weekend Football

Going back to diving/simulation, I really think commentators have a large part to play in getting rid of this malaise. Just watching the Arsenal Liverpool game and have seen plenty of diving and falling over after a slight touch. But no commentator has criticised any of it. The more that happens the...

Re: Weekend Football

Like most, I have a huge hatred of diving/feigning injury, its just ruining the sport. A lot of my dislike is all the little decisions given frequently in the middle of the pitch. Almost nothing happens, player appeals to ref, foul give, play starts again quickly. I don't see the point?! I would li...

Re: Record Watch 23/24

I think the major difference between us in 2005/06 and Leicester this season is that Leicester had played in the Premier League for a number of seasons before being relegated, whereas we were a Championship side.
