I was thinking this yesterday. Watching the tears, the stress, the agony, the elation, the pressure, all from the comfort of the sofa with a nice cup of tea and a biscuit. Lovely stuff.

Lovely stuff.If autos does happen, which I'm sure it will, it will be lovely to be able to watch the playoffs without any stress.
Another team where their away form that’s held them back. Their recent uplift away from home was against teams in the bottom half around the relegation zone.Birmingham annoyingly the ones to watch for the Top 6 as it stands - I think they will do what we did last season, get in and fall just short before having a proper go next season
I don't think O'Hare is dislikable at all; he's a bit cheesy, but comes across as a pretty inoffensive character for the most part.
He was an enjoyable player to watch when he was here, and he played a big part in getting us to where we are. Don't think he deserves the grief at all.
If they win a week tonight and get a result at Portman Road they can do what they like for all I careAnother team where their away form that’s held them back. Their recent uplift away from home was against teams in the bottom half around the relegation zone.
Remaining away games: Millwall, Charlton, Derby, Ipswich, Hull and Pompey.
It’s a tough blend and I’d back them to lose 3-4 of those alone. There’s a few games that they can help us out with so in a sense, I’ll be hoping they do well in the 4 or so games that directly impact us.
They’ve lost once at home all season so I’m confident they won’t lose v Boro. We’ve just got to do our jobs v Sheff U and Stoke.If they win a week tonight and get a result at Portman Road they can do what they like for all I care
Nope. It brings the Grim Reaper, sitting ominously on your shoulder, sharpening his bladeOld age doesn't come alone
I've heard that if it turns out to be a Wrexham Birmingham playoff final, they are staging the game at the Hollywood Bowl.Reckon whoever finishes 3rd (likely Ipswich) wont want to play Wrexham or Birmingham in play offs.
We just don’t know how lucky we are in this age of peptobismo do we.Is everyone aware of the story behind that scene? It's a fab scene, but Ford was actually supposed to have a sword fight with the bloke, but had diarrhea on the day of filming, so they just had Indie shoot the baddie instead.
And who says the elderly are miserable fuckers?Nope. It brings the Grim Reaper, sitting ominously on your shoulder, sharpening his blade
And that's just on the good days.
Hate that adWe just don’t know how lucky we are in this age of peptobismo do we.
Understand this is a joke, but one thing I do like about the Wrexham owners is that for foreign owners, they seem to genuinely respect the culture and tradition of the game here.I've heard that if it turns out to be a Wrexham Birmingham playoff final, they are staging the game at the Hollywood Bowl.
What they have done in my view is the exact antithesis of respecting the tradition of the game here. Taking out fuck loads of money to blow transfer fees and wages out of proportion to steal promotion from countless other clubs.@Brighton Sky Blue, just curious, what is it that you think about that that's laughable?
We both completely agree that what they are doing is bad for the competitive nature of the game, but you can still do that whilst respecting how supporters support clubs, recognising a club's place in an area's community, the history of the club, wider league, etc. They seem to do that.
Fair enough; completely agree with the negative effect that they are having.What they have done in my view is the exact antithesis of respecting the tradition of the game here.

They’re not the first club to be fair to them.What they have done in my view is the exact antithesis of respecting the tradition of the game here. Taking out fuck loads of money to blow transfer fees and wages out of proportion to steal promotion from countless other clubs.
There was strong talk of them wanting to play Birmingham in the US. At best, they’ve just added another completely plastic club to the pyramid with ridiculously entitled supporters. They can piss off quite frankly, though I expect they are here to stay.Fair enough; completely agree with the negative effect that they are having.
Was thinking of something different with 'respecting the tradition'; I meant I don't think they're likely to want to demand games abroad, put a stop to relegation, or change the name or colours of the club, etc., etc.. It's a low bar, I agree.
That doesn’t make them any better or worse than said clubs in my book.They’re not the first club to be fair to them.
Someone got paid a fortune to come up with that!!!Hate that ad
It was only a matter of time… real shame for him
That will be his season finished most likely.
Quelle Surprise, Not that I take any joy from it mind you - He has lasted longer than usual with no injury

The thought of having had Onyeka here from that point onwards…damn.Quelle Surprise, Not that I take any joy from it mind you - He has lasted longer than usual with no injury
Think Lampard lost his patience with him first game of the season where he come on and was subbed off 15 mins later
Still maintain we got a cracking fee for him considering his injury record, only thing we did wrong was sell him too late to get a replacement - If only we got Frank in Aug I suppose
That was last season's el Plastico. Wasn't it Birmingham wanting it, and Wrexham dismissing it?There was strong talk of them wanting to play Birmingham in the US.

Don’t remember tbh. In any case it’s particularly important we get over the line this season, as those two will amp up their piss taking in the summer and be right up there.That was last season's el Plastico. Wasn't it Birmingham wanting it, and Wrexham dismissing it?
That's how I remember it, but I may be wrong.
To be fair, Onyeka would have been at AFCON anyway while we were going through our trickiest period (so far).Quelle Surprise, Not that I take any joy from it mind you - He has lasted longer than usual with no injury

I don't want either of them up with us as their spending power in the Prem will be much greater than oursDon’t remember tbh. In any case it’s particularly important we get over the line this season, as those two will amp up their piss taking in the summer and be right up there.

So were Man City and Newcastle.That was last season's el Plastico. Wasn't it Birmingham wanting it, and Wrexham dismissing it?
That's how I remember it, but I may be wrong.
ETA: they can piss off, and no doubt 80% of their fans are Disney plastics, but the club itself is an old institution with a decent sized and loyal fanbase for the levels they've generally been at; it's not the club itself that's plastic (same as with Bournemouth). Semantics, I know.
Yes.So were Man City and Newcastle.
