No I don't want to see them play at the top level. It was 30 years plus of grimness last time. I quite enjoy winning most weeks as we do now. The last three seasons have been the best since 1967. Who enjoys going for 3-5 weeks without a win, being thumped at Anfield or Stamford Bridge, hanging...

I suspect it didn't go to a vote and I bet they absolutely don't want a 12-11 vote (which would be 51%). Every club now knows where all the others sit, so they now go away and think. And hopefully the losers realise they have lost and tow the line, even if they shout and moan about it. As a...

The EFL is not a dictatorship nor a bunch of amateurs. We have a genuine clash of interests here so not surprisingly feelings run deep. If I was a Posh fan I would be rooting for him. I doubt if the delay is what they wanted, but the EFL's main goal is a generally accepted consensus in the form...

I'd give my right arm not be in the Prem. Losing every week. Success = avoiding relegation. Tedious. I have been pleasantly surprised by the League 1 standard.

To summarize 3 options, one with a variant 1. Null and void - legal problems; what happens to the L2 promoted teams? 2. Play the games, expensive and bar a few, completely irrelevant 3. PPG (two types) best compromise, but annoys a sufficient number of clubs to make a majority vote...

The so called "Promised Land" is hell on earth

I am being told that BBC are reporting we are likely to be promoted, but I can't find the story

A central midfield of Kelly (struggling at the end of this season) and an other, is not a good thought. On other matters if the choices are void or ppg, then for most clubs, it makes no odds either way, and that includes Peterboro. They stay down regardless of which option is chosen. Void =...

Been thro this thread (and several similar before), and I thought The odds on the season being completed are getting longer - having been 50/50 at the start. must now be 10/90 Players possibly a big factor that could trump ££'s Stop whinging about ££'s. This a business not charity. It has been...

and relegated the following year probably

If the Prem starts, then there is a good chance everything starts I'd have thought. And that looks likely. A completed Prem with all others void makes little sense, although a completed Prem, and the rest by points / game might.

American Tabloid - a fictional recreation of the run up to the assassination of JFK, by Ellroy - top book. Yes, yes I know this is not CCFC related

How about if any team is >6 points ahead of the play off places based on points / game (two wins ahead being the logic) , they go up automatically. Next 8 play 6 or 7 games depending on what is needed to get two more teams. So 4 games in R 1 2 in R 2 and final if needed. In the case of L1, Cov...

In each of our first two seasons in Divison 1 we only had one away win all season, both 1-0, West Brom (Hannigan) and QPR (Willie Carr after 3 minutes). By the end of each season they were really important

One for the older geezers like me, Brian Lewis. A bit thin, slow but occasionally useful.

It was 2-1 Bobby Tambling for Chelsea in the first half. Then after 47 mins Gerry Baker headed an equalizer from an absolutely exquisite cross from the man himself- Gibbo. Hannigan got the winner with a shot from the edge of the box on the hour. Neil Martin was one of City's best ever centre...
