    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    yep and some clubs know this. They can vote to “finish the season” and posture about sporting integrity without expecting it to actually be possible.

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    I agree although their plan which seeks to count the end of season performance over the last three years (coincidentally they were promoted in each of the last two) does need to be called out as arbitrary.

    Transfer rumours (isn't it nice to talk about football!)

    and he’s used us twice as leverage to get moves elsewhere. On either occasion he might have been our big star but he chose Swindon and Luton over us. Fair enough but we’ve moved on too now.

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    The lovable Mark Palios issued a statement on their website last week saying that Tranmere were “the form side in league one” and were against any early end to the season because we were “mid season”. Thus to protect the sporting integrity of the league TRFC would vote to continue and if that...

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Ok somebody try to reassure me please. 1) both options seem to contain extra games - either to finish the season for everyone (that’s 200 matches) or a behind closed doors play off system. Even the latter doesn’t look remotely feasible to me. 2) even if the EFL decide on ending the season with...

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    clutching at straws? Wycombe stand to benefit massively from not having played a game away to the team with the best home record in the EFL and against whom they’ve never won in the league.

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Said it before and will say it again, while there are no good solutions to all of this. Unweighted ppg which rewards Wycombe for not playing us at St Andrews as we had an FA Cup replay is a terrible decision. I can see why Sunderland, Peterborough and Oxford are up in arms.

    After the season he’s had why is so much of the highlights reel taken up with him about to take a throw-in, running in training and paddling in the swimming pool?

    On a slightly different topic whatever happened to Fatso? Did he ever back down from his coronadenial?

    Magnus Hedman

    He was great In the Prem. he should have displaced Oggy as first choice ‘keeper about 6 months before he did. He picked up more than a few injuries in the relegation season and Kirkland emerged as a possible successor. Yet after relegation it was Kirkland who the club cashed in on. In the...

    Last day outcome

    Perhaps they needed an outcome that give the story some interest? What might give this story legs and make Sky Sports seem relevant when there’s no football to watch. The Prem is a certainty. We couldn’t get away with suggesting that Leeds fail to win The Chanpionship, How about a really...

    Bristol City Captain

    Yep and the Championship would have to relegate 6 to accommodate Bournemouth, Norwich, Vile, West Brom, Burnley and hopefully West Ham but probably Fulham. The task of staying in the Championship sounds more daunting with 6 going down but three of them would be the teams currently looking like...

    all french leagues cancelled

    problem is that none of the issues in the prem or football league are mathematically resolved. I am slowly coming to the conclusion that the season will be declared void and we will be put in some restructured third division south.

    Dennis wise coaching kids

    just watched the last three eps on YouTube. They (Wise and Walker) do a better job than you think they might. They go to Italy and perform credibility against youth teams from Juventus, Torino and Inter. In Italy Walker says the occasional Italian phrase to the local there but speaking to his...
