Re: LOLiverpooLOL - Next Season

How is TAA still on the pitch? Would have been sent off had Newcastle failed to score in that phase of play. so the punishment is dependent on outcome...something they have tried to avoid. I can see both arguments here and it's hard not to be biased! It was simply a case of the ref playing a very b...

Re: European Leagues Thread 2012/2013

Bundesliga race is pretty much run - Bayern made unsurprisingly light work of beating bottom club Hannover. Dortmund through away a 2-0 lead at Bremen to leave them 4 points adrift. Dortmund now need to win both of their final 2 games and hope Bayern only pick up 1 point from games against Leipzig a...

Re: Ups & Downs 2018/19

It's got to be WBA to win it - they seem the only one of the 4 clubs who are set up to be up there again next year if they fall flat. The other 3 could implode next season for various reasons.

Re: 29 Years ago today

Final game of the season. Birmingham City 0-1 Reading Michael Gilkes scores late with the most unwanted Reading goal in history. Birmingham denied a play off spot. Anyone else at this game? Genuinely terrifying exprience trying to make it to the station afterwards. Game held up due to 2 mass pitch ...

Re: BFT(final)G

I believe Ejaria and Baker had relatively hard times at other clubs they've been loaned to. They have little chance of regular 1st team action at Liverpool and Chelsea, so maybe their parent clubs would be happy for a full season loan with us next season as they look as though could be regulars for...

Re: BFT(final)G

One of the young lads in the queue out of the blue asked Rinomhota if he was leaving and his reply seemed totally genuine when he said no. If we're flogging off players like Rinomhota then that's raising a white flag. Low wage, high potential, and the right attitude to become a club legend. Sadly w...

Re: Rival Watch

Brentford awarded 1-0 win over Bolton Apparently a first in Football League history that a game has been cancelled. Can only imagine this will only lead to them getting a pretty hefty penalty (if there is still a club to penalise). Comes about because the stadium has lost it's safety certificate ag...

Re: Generic clubs in financial crisis Thread

The whole Bolton thing is a shambles with so many opposing stories coming out. Seems that the EFL wanted Bassini to show he had enough cash to cover 2 years of wage payments and running costs in advance and he failed to do this so his takeover is dead in the water. Few stories around that the debts...

Re: Champions League & Europa League 2018/19

Amazing atmosphere in the city yesterday and Frankfurt did themselves proud against Chelsea - were hanging on at times but also had chances to win it. Tie is nicely poised for next week, as Frankfurt have in them to score but Chelsea big favourites. Looking very possible that Baku will see a London ...

Re: The League of 4

Obviously the improvements are evident to see (5 points behind the zone to 6 points ahead) but if you compare goals scored/conceded between the two managers, it's actually a lot closer than you think Gomes : average 1 goal a game Clement : 1.3 goals a game Gomes : Concede 1.37 goals a game Clement ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Birmingham City (h) sponsored by Timbuk 3

With the U23 side having important games on Friday and Monday you wonder if that will influence selection. Would McIntyre, Barrett, Olise and even Loader be sent with the U23s to help win promotion and a trophy rather than mostly bench warming for the first team ? Think all we depend on how the clu...

Re: LOLiverpooLOL - Next Season

Beyond Messi's free-kick the real difference was finishing last night. Liverpool really should have a couple themselves, how Salah missed is beyond me. Mane and Milner should have done much better as well. Liverpool will take heart from the fact they created plenty but 3-0 is just too big a gap. Thi...

Re: European Leagues Thread 2012/2013

I know someone who is a fan of Paderborn who just secured promotion from the German 3rd division and could still clinch the title. They have by miles the best goal difference, when they win they win big. they have scored 24 and conceded 0 in their last 7 games Wrote that^ 1 year ago today. Paderbor...

Re: Ups & Downs 2018/19

Bury promoted from League 2 following their point at Tranmere. That result also ends Tranmere's hopes of automatic promotion.

Final spot will go to Mansfield or MK Dons, who play each other this weekend. Level on points but Mansfield just need a draw due to having the better GD.

Re: Ups & Downs 2018/19

With both Sunderland & Pompey losing tonight, Luton & Barnsley are both promoted to the Championship.

The title will be decided on the final day.

Peterborough keep their play-off hopes alive til the final day.

Re: Ups & Downs 2018/19

Would love to see Solihull come up through the playoffs, shame (Jobi aside) they didn't quite manage to get automatic. They're massively punching above their weight, they've got a tiny ground and will probably have the squad broken up over the summer if they don't make it. I went a couple of times ...
