  1. RIP. I don’t think I ever saw him play. My first two games were at the end of his final season, but by then the two forwards was some combination of Pearson, Mculloch and Bannister.
  2. To be honest, players rotating into the false 8 position is what we’ve needed for years, and I have said so myself on many occasions. 😉
  3. I’m cautiously in favour. It should increase the competitiveness of the Premier League, while moving more in the direction of an NFL style model where teams actually make a profit. It will reduce the Premier League “dominance” of the Champions League…err right. Does also mean that if we can get into the Premier League, with a decent coach, and a scouting set up worthy of the name, there would be realistic hope of doing more than survive within two or three seasons.
  4. Could do without Ipswich winning at Hull. The extra insurance of Hull and Norwich still having something to play for next weekend would be welcome.
  5. If they win their next two matches, they will still have a chance of winning the league.
  6. You’ve got to question how up for it West Brom will be next week. They are almost guaranteed play offs, and with nothing to play for PNE at home on the last day of the season they’ve got a bit of insurance. Not sure they’ll match our work rate if we really go at ‘em.
  7. Whatever happens next week, we go into the last week of the season with a chance of staying up. And all of Birmingham, Udders, Plymouth and Blackburn have their final game of the season against teams at the top of the table, who should have something to play for.
  8. And Szmodics gets a yellow. Time for Pato’s shithousery….
  9. Strange first half. Good start. Their equaliser seemed to suck the wind out of us. Then a really flat spell with not much happening for either. Then a decent last 15 minutes where we had a bit of control without creating that much. Think the subs could be crucial. We’ve got more on the bench. They’ve got Szmodics.
  10. Yeah, not like it was a guy we needed to be keeping an eye on…

    Boxing thread

    Superb fight between Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney last night. Garcia’s post fight interview was entertaining as well 🤣
  12. Put out the flags. Toytown did us a favour. Win tomorrow and we’re out of the bottom three.
  13. Now 2 points ahead of Brum with a better goal difference, and both sides having 3 games left. Pigs a point behind Brum but with 3 games in hand and a far better goal difference than both. Our lads play the grunters away on Thursday, after they play one of their games in hand against Charlton on Monday.
  14. FA cup final to be played on the penultimate week of Premier League season 🤮. Yep we don’t want attention being drawn away from the traditional conclusion of the English football season, the Premier League relegation battle and “race for fourth”.
  15. Bakinson? He was just a shit peg. Hopefully there’s a bone idle twat hole at Charlton that will suit him just fine.
  16. DR should have used his subs sooner, was saying so at the time. But we could have been 3-0 up after 20 minutes. Only found out about Bristol’s equaliser by reading about it on here. The thinnest of silver linings.
  17. Really? Looked nailed on (with VAR) to me from the North Stand. Not saying I expected us to get it, just saying Arsenal or Liverpool would have.
  18. Great servant to the club and a good lad, but not a legend. Shezza is legend. Sir Roland is a legend. Weaver is just a fan who played for his team and was okay.
  19. The guy who during a fiery Madrid derby told Mourinho “I’m not Tito - I’ll rip your head off”. Simeone’s number two. 🤣
