    Exactly, though you might say Keegan tried that at Newcastle and failed.

    The Cricket Thread

    It makes me wonder what the England football team could do with the same mentality. Perhaps Messrs Stokes and McCullum could have a chat with Mr Southgate.

    It seems like Stokes & Co are revolutionising the red ball game. The Ashes will be fascinating if they maintain this approach.

    22/23 Pizza Trophy

    So, anyone who nodded off between the 5th and 86th minutes of your 4-0 win still wouldn't have missed a goal. Weird.

    Stroud, you are simply trolling other members now. And trolling we can do without.

    At our place Mr Ainsworth was fully kitted out in leather jacket, jeans, cowboy boots, etc. Saves time on getting changed after the football I suppose; he can just go straight to the gig.

    Perhaps it means more staff will be able to get home for kick off too.

    Friday 2nd / Saturday 3rd / Sunday 4th December

    I think the loss was a bit unfair on Cambridge who were the better side first half. But if the Cambridge captain was indeed attempting to garden around the penalty spot before Wickham scored the winning spot kick, then they deserved to lose. That's a Uruguayan level of shithousery we could do...

    We've brought forward KO to 2pm. As it's a local derby against Cheltenham presumably (hopefully) that won't cause any travel problems.

    FA Cup 2022/23

    I remember some thought the sky had fallen in when we lost to St Albans at this stage last season. Then we went unbeaten for months. Funny old game.

    FA Cup 2022/23

    Sadly I agree. The rot set in when Utd were encouraged not to take part and it's been mostly downhill since then - Sunday evening finals, finals before the last league game of the season, etc. The final used to be an absolutely massive game.

    Typical Scots. Sometimes united by their antagonism towards the English, but spend most time hating each other.

    I would love to see this given proper consideration in the professional game, or trial it at least. I'm sure the clock could be synced to the ref's whistle. He or she would then have to blow for every decision though, including throw ins.

    The team you “could” have supported

    Moved to the area about 15 years ago. FGR is just up the road and there is no other sport than can hold a candle to live football.

    Week ending Saturday 22nd October 2022

    We lost but were always in the game at least. Mingi was the best player on the pitch for me, and was that his first start?

    Our game vs South Shields away is on TV and an early kick off. Supporters' coach departs in the middle of the night.

    FA Cup 2022/23

    In my experience Wrexham have a rivalry with everyone, including themselves. I remember at an FGR vs Wrexham game a few years back that, when faced with a shortage of FGR fans to fight with, the Wrexham fans turned on each other for sport.
