When that free kick hit the post, deflected off our keeper and still didn’t go in was the moment I knew we were winning that game however much PNE battered us. i too had to laugh, in disbelief, after I’d wiped my arse. I agree there was nothing wrong with Evans challenge for the goal. It’s...
Some fuss in our game about Evans challenge on our keeper leading to the goal. I thought that was fair and Johansson needed to be stronger. Earlier in the game Evans should have got a straight red for a dreadful late “follow up” challenge on the keeper he had no right to make. Barkuisen was...
Swansea are excellent right now. With the Millers having beaten boro away 3-0 and Derby twice (bookending them winning 3 on trot without conceding), Swansea beat us 3-1 at home and we had no complaints about it. Fully deserved.
Also, a liar. Tony Stewart is a gentleman and has said he will not tolerate bad language in the directors area. As someone else has said, only Rooney can be upset by the crowd at a behind closed doors game lol. Must be something in the air at Derby as their match day thread is littered with...
They never really wanted to play on due to the expense. What they really wanted was their three season margin for error system to be adopted. Once that was defeated the end was inevitable as attempting to play on would quite likely finish them, like several other clubs. Or so I’m led to believe...
What I’ve seen is that Tranmere voted to end the season after their proposal failed to win support. Sunderland, Ipswich, Portsmouth and Posh were the four.
According to the University of Reading, and I paraphrase of course, “Tranmere fans shut the fuck up, lucky lucky Wycombe” .

Congrats Coventry, fully deserved title. Is it just me or does it feel a very strange and flat way to go up though? So it should I suppose. I don’t feel sorry at all for Tranmere. Shit all season and bottom three by any method that wouldnt involve incredible mathematical gymnastics including how...
I agree that a consistent approach is needed. Like you say, either promote and relegate, or reset for next season and go again with no positions changed. Picking and choosing which bit of the league rules structure to apply would be opening a right can of worms IMO.
I disagree with the ‘not...
I see the whiner in chief has been at it again on Sky, saying Rotherham going up would be a fake promotion.
if the accepted wisdom that “the table starts to sort itself out after 10 games” is true, then how much of a reflection is 35 games? 35 games of actual results and performances, not 9...
Blackpool tried to be a bit rough house, but picked on the wrong team today. The ref was shite all afternoon. Gave us throw ins and corners that never were, while allowing the Blackpool players to use any and all means to stop us without fear of punishment for a good hour, but was surpassed in...
Can’t help feeling that, whoever gets appointed, the lines “our preparations were hampered due us being behind all the other clubs in the transfer market” and “I found it very difficult to identify and bring in players of the quality I really wanted” will be making an appearance or two in the...
