I was very near it. There were a load of gobby Manc youths in the stand near us who went a bit OTT after the late winner (unsurprisingly I guess). Being near the end of the game the Police had disappeared to control outside, leaving only a few stewards, who were quickly overwhelmed by our mob...

I guess there's a fair few bedwetting posts on this and other threads from the Summer that will be looking rather silly right now 😉

I clearly remember Sheff U being pricks about our protests but when did Wednesday do likewise?

Turning back inside also leaves space for MVE to overlap. I've noticed a few people on here having a bit of a downer on Sakamoto recently which I don't really get.

I really wish people didn't post stuff like this. It's almost inviting Karma to do it's worst. Personally I think there is next to no chance of us going unbeaten for a whole season. The most dominant season I've seen us was in our League 1 season, but we still lost games even if they were...

Had a look at their message board and their fans seem as divided about protesting on the pitch as ours were for the Sheff U game back in the day. I remember Nick and a few others being vehemently opposed to the protest action taken at the time! While it might be easy enough to get on the pitch...

If the football league were to make it clear before the game that they will forfeit the points if it is abandoned due to the actions of their fans, it would probably limit the number prepared to take such action.

Marosi wasn't the same after having his cheekbone smashed. To be fair he also benefited from having a very good back 3 (certainly by League 1 standards) in front of him, which probably made him look better than he was.

1972 was mine. If you were around at the time I'm surprised you forgot the run to win the Dvision 2 title in 1967!

Depends if you think football only started when the PL did. We were unbeaten in our last 25 games of the 1966/67 season. We might of got close to that in 2019/20 when Covid disrupted the season during a long unbeaten run.

The trouble with assist stats is that you're reliant on another person putting the chances away. If Rudoni's header yesterday, EMC's missed header against Norwich and Wright's shot against the bar at Oxford had gone in nobody would be moaning about Saka's poor dellivery.

Carsley said he didn't want the job because he didn't feel ready for it. Since then he has won another U21 Championship and had temporary experience in the job itself. By the time Tuchel leaves I imagine Carsley will be ready to take the job on. Southgate stepped up from the U21's so there is...

Given his teams keep winning the Euro U21 comps I suspect Carsley is most likely to be the next England manager.

It is a good time to be playing Wednesday, as later in the season they might be in a better position with possibly their Chairman gone. Playing them midweek in the middle of Winter would prrobably make the game more difficult for us. I've no problem with them protesting and understand why they...

Rip off is a bit strong! Yes, they were clearly influenced by The Jam and while many Jam songs similarly touched on suburban town themes as WLADITT did, Going Underground itself was primarily a political dig at Thatcher. If you want to be equally pedantic of course you could lazily argue that...

This sounds like a really stupid idea to me. The Championship is better now than it is ever been so I don't see the point in changing it.

I will be very surprised if Woolfenden comes straight into the team. I would imagine (and hope) that Saka will come in for BTA. Left back is the big unknown. I haven't seen any reports on Dasilva's injury, so I guess he might yet be available. If he isn't fit I'm not sure if Lampard will go for...

Is the main driver why Boosh wants us to sign Oxlade-Chamberlain so he can be a fan boy if his partner comes to watch him play.

Ha ha yes :eek:

Yes, he was a bit of a star in the 98 World Cup. At the time he was synonymous with a bit of trickery when facing 2 markers he put the ball between his 2 feet and bunnyhopped with the ball past his markers. My description doesn't do it justice, but it will probably be on Youtube somewhere :)
