    Favourite moment of the season

    Jamie Allen finishing off the move of the decade vs Bristol Rovers. The best team goal I’ve ever seen us score.

    Wankers

    time to stop our obsession with them - we can’t do much about theirs with us but it should help being in different divisions. The vast majority of replies on that thread are reasonable, almost none have a problem with us going up and a large proportion point out that they got promoted in 1990...

    A dilemma-what would you do?

    you really should do some homework on MBS. I guarantee you he’s worse than your hypothetical. anyway as someone said earlier the bid might fail as the Saudis have been caught funding a pirate tv station undermining the official BeIn sports channel that paid for the rights to EPL games.

    A dilemma-what would you do?

    It’s a question of scale. MBS’ record on killing and mutilating critics goes beyond the ‘dodgy pasts’ of a few investment bankers. Furthermore the Saudis only want to take over Newcastle as a way of sanitising their public image. I hope to God that my desire to see SISU out of my club wouldn’t...

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

    I don’t think we can rely on clubs to behave consistently or sincerely here. Several clubs will want to be seen as voting to continue the season but hope that the proposal loses or that it’s not possible to implement.

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

    Brentford been an established Champ team for years now, in the play off hunt all season, well managed and coached and well resourced by their owners They are moving to a new stadium in the summer after selling Griffin Park (prime development Location in central London) for an absolute premium...

    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.

    against us!! They’re being rewarded for us having to play Birmingham in a cup replay. It’s a shite system tbf.

    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...
