I assume the likes of Hemmings, Maguire etc. are still regulars at Ox? Saw they were out before the game, and Oxford looked pretty poor creatively, only the bloke from Everton looked dangerous.
Still, not an amazing performance but solid, which is great to see given where we were 2 or 3 months ago
Completely sums up the Prem and the FL's relationship over the last few years.
'We don't like [idea]'
'But we'll give you/take away money'
'Ah okay then we best do it'
It's happened with EPPP, it's happened with this. Its harming revenue streams for lower league clubs and its time the FA grew...
Shame two relatively big clubs got to the final to be honest, am sure the figures will be warped in some way. Mind you, the Final attendance will probably match the total attendance for all the other matches in the competition, so we've done okay. Hard to convince people to stay away from...
To be honest I'd still say no having seen a few of the top 6. If we'd had the defence we have now since August too then maybe, but we were convincingly beat by a few teams when we had Taylor (Millwall, Bolton home, Scunthorpe) and Bradford looked class the other week, them and Sheff Utd have...
The fact that after the self-inflicted equaliser you could have won it despite looking poor shows why you're up there. Maybe a bit low on confidence right now, because after the goal you looked very threatening. Just need to turn it around I think.
Think that's a bit harsh, given what came before and after Rowett for Birmingham. Zola since taking over a solid, over performing squad has them in relegation form, which shows what a good job Rowett did.
Huge bottle from Blackburn there, they have some massive games in the next couple of...
Collude with those bastards..
The Sun stuff has definitely dampened the Sutton story (which was fantastic and didn't require that rag in the first place)
Quite a few clubs do now, and its those that tend to be the most hostile environments for fans. Don't think the bouncer types have the mentality to properly steward a football game, seen it before and they don't deal with any problems (as in, quite typical football crowd problems) well.
Can't...
Hmmm, I dunno about the 'saying nothing good about the EU'.
A lot of the positives of the EU aren't that interesting/relevant to a lot of people, where as the positives of coming out are. Stronger workers rights, free movement for Britons, opportunities for work, stronger political cohesion...
His agent evidently wanted a move, not too surprising if he's used underhand tactics to do it.
Anyway, it's been two weeks now - probably time to move on. As Gassy said Taylor was our best player, but I was far more disappointed when Lambert left due to the role each player played in their...
Bradford were a really impressive side yesterday, difference between us and a top 6 side was made clear yesterday I think.
Bit disappointed with the way we set up, McMahon and Meredith were playing so high up you' feel they were there for the taking down the wings. But, happy with a point to be...
It was some deleted tweet by a London journalist, if the release clause was £300k I think we'd know.
Bizarre, think he'll go though as his agent will twist his ear. Anything over £1m with a replacement in today and I'd take it, anything lower (£300k) we may as well have let him walk in the summer.
I don't really believe that figure for a second, why would no one take a punt earlier?
What a day its gonna be mind, depends on size of fee and if we get a replacement in re: my mood towards it
Fair play Sutton, just realised the game was on Freeview which is disappointing but ah well!
Great stuff for them and Lincoln, doing the Conference proud. First time post-war that there's been two non leaguers in the 5th round
