    Euro 2016 big thread

    As a football fan I can't remember the last time I felt like I was an important part of the whole thing. We don't really matter. To be honest I'm more pissed off about that tournament than the one in Qatar. At least we'll almost be able to walk from ground to ground. As for the one is Russia...

    Squad Building - don't Panic!!!

    Jake Wight, Oxford's captain of 6 years has just left them by mutual consent. Decent defender. Leader. 30 years old. Just what we need. Sign him up Tony.

    Let's hope it's Villa or Newcastle's first team from last season.

    Save the Sky Blue Academy Petition

    Totalled up the outgoings from the last decade or so and even when you throw in the likes of Dann, Fox, Borrowdale (scoff) around 70% of our transfer income has come from the academy. If you go back slightly further it's even higher as you've got Davenport, Kirkland, etc.

    Save the Sky Blue Academy Petition

    Just had a quick look and Keogh and Clarke bought in around £1m each. There has also been various nominal fees paid to us for some that came through the academy. I guess Christie is one of them. Plus the fees for the likes of Bigi, Turner and the continual payments for Sturridge (similar deal to...

    Save the Sky Blue Academy Petition

    Something that's crossed my mind. When was the last time we sold a player that wasn't from our academy? I'm sure it was Jutkiewicz for around £1m (we also got 300k as a sell on around the time we sold Wilson). Before that, the last significant one I can think of is Best for £2m. Both of those...

    Now that four have said no and as Watford don't really have an academy we're left with 15. Even if no other clubs say no that leaves one short. I guess they'll ask Villa, Blues, Forest, Newcastle, etc.

    You must be joking. It's a stupid idea. Some complained about the journey this summer... Midlands to Marseille 880 miles. Marseille to Lens - 609 miles. Lens to St Etienne - 453 miles. St Etienne to Nice - 304 miles Nice to Midlands - 976 miles. 3222 miles in total. In 4 years we could face the...

    Based on today's news regarding Blair and Oscar yes. Based on this, no. It's the same for everyone.

    Bury Points Deduction

    It should be this season. Why would it be different if it was us? We got a very lenient punishment all things considered. Could've been 15, 20 or 30 points the last time around for the various finacial issues. Also we didn't get anything for the illegible players that we fielded which was...

    Nigel Clough. Would only last a couple of games but it'd be entertaining to watch the FA trying to tell him what to do.

    Yeah has to be that way. Interesting news about Eric Dier and it explains a lot. Saw him discussing something with the medical team before the game a presumed it was a knock or a twinge.

    The Next England Manager

    In comparison to the last qualifying group (on paper): 1. Despite the shower that's been displayed over the past couple of weeks our team is better now than it was 2 years ago. It just needs to be ran and prepared more efficiently. 2. Slovakia aren't as good as the Swiss. 3. Slovenia are ok...
