Re: Are players aware of hobnob?

I used to know quite a few players in the 2002-2005 era. Andy Hughes looked on HNA and it nearly destroyed him. Nicky Forster looked but never posted but did ask me to post a Thank you to the fans when he left the club (which I did and got abuse for it). He still considers Reading to be the club wh...

Re: Speculation: Team GB Olympic Squad

What are the qualification rules for the Olympic teams then? Actually I'm not that interested but I'd be surprised if players can switch nationalities for it. It's a FIFA sanctioned tournament, right? In the case of Team GB, you have to be eligible for one of the four home nations. Karacan is eligi...

Re: Team for Brum (a)

Griffin - he's started 9 games, don't you have to do 10 to get a medal? Not in this league. In the Premier League you have to make 10 appearances, in the Championship everyone who played gets one (luckily for Michael Dobson, Scott Golbourne, John Halls...). I think both leagues allow the club to bu...

Re: A Poor Championship season?

It hasn't been a good season. The fight at the top has been entertaining but characterised more by Saints and West Ham's failures than our successes. The playoff battle has been apalling, its the fight not to get promoted and the teams that have put decent runs in during the second half of the seas...

Re: Southampton v West Ham - play off?

If two or more teams finish level on points, goal difference and goals scored at the end of the season and the championship, a promotion place, play-off place or relegation place is at stake they will then play off to decide who finishes higher. If two or more teams are level before the end of the ...

Re: Generic clubs in financial crisis Thread

Scottish football needs Rangers . I think this punishment and faux let's take our ball and keep it is related to this. They know that a one horse race that Celtic will win does nobody any favours. But the SFA really doesn't want to push them too far just in case that happens. It might just be the c...

Re: Saints view of last nights game

Caskeys Lovechild In the Premier League: 1. Goal difference, 2. Goals scored, 3. Playoff at neutral venue (if for title, relegation or Euro qualification, otherwise: teams share position) - I can't see that it can be different for championship?


It's a different competition run by a completely different entity.

Re: The Weakest Squad to Ever Secure Promotion

I can't help thinking that we're a poor side despite our promotion as champions. We have an incredible manager, superb team spirit and, as I mentioned in another thread a great keeper, 2 solid centre halves with 2 solid central midfielders and 2 hard working defensive forwards. We have a left back ...

Re: We're ManchesteROFL United, we do what we want

No Fixed Abode Different with United really - gradual. Not so with City. City never won anything until the Arabs took over.


Why is spending more than anyone else (until Chelski) every season different to City ?

Oh, and I do believe City have won the title & the FA Cup before they were foreign owned.

It's bad for us as we would have been the live game with all the dead rubbers.

Now we'll be treated to Saints/WHU ping pong and out game will be consigned to history without much attention.

mr_number I've thought about this, and I think it's a little bit pathetic. Do they really think Birmingham fans are going to kick off? Come on Football League, just do something sensible.


Er yes they could kick off because they are cnuts!


Particularly if we win 23-0 and cost them a play-off place.
