    Is it time for a 'Managerial Merry go round' thread?

    I’m reasonably content with Harris, never had a problem with him as a manager and has always been pretty solid if not spectacular. Definitely one who will buy in to the culture of the club too and his appointment doesn’t up end the back room setup either. He seems like a nice bloke and it seemed...

    FA Cup 2023/24

    Their games against Chester were bubble games for years until they ended up in different divisions. Although I understand the rivalry between Wrexham and Shrewsbury isn’t so strong, there’ll be all the dickheads out so wouldn’t surprise me if the police do something ludicrous like make it a...

    It probably does because he doesn’t include the contents of brown paper bags. ;-)

    FA Cup 2023/24

    Norwich is a ball ache from Bristol but I imagine it’s a decent away day once you’re there as there are tons of pubs in the city and it’s not a million miles from the ground to the train station. I’ve been loads of times as my wife’s family are all Norwich fans and I’ve been desperate for us to...

    Is it time for a 'Managerial Merry go round' thread?

    I’m truly gutted. As others have said, it’s definitely the right time as we have been beyond awful for a while now. Last night’s performance was appalling, the fight had gone. But he’s a total legend and built us back into a very respectable club after the shit show we had going on before. He...

    FA Cup 2023/24

    From bbc: “Forward Aiden Marsh was on loan at National League side York City when the first game took place on 3 November, before being recalled three days later. The 20-year-old then started in the replay in West Sussex on 14 November.”

    FA Cup 2023/24

    That’s a good effort. I think we got away with one last season (or the year before) in the league where we named an ineligible player as an unused sub. Fortunately we lost anyway haha.

    Lee Power was always a man with “fingers in several pies, tills and anything else” but I never had him down as someone to be in cahoots with the Russians.

    The best thing about Uche is he doesn’t know where his touch is going to take the ball so the opposition doesn’t have a clue either. Total box office.

    The Trophy formerly known as the Pizza Cup 2023/24

    I’m so proud, that’s epic. Exeter have been fantastic in the EFL Trophy this season.

    It’s a stupid fucking sport and I don’t see why we all bother…..!

    Tues 7th & Sat 11th Nov Fixtures

    Yep. Worst result in my time supporting the U’s going back to 1990. We’ve lost heavier and against weaker teams but unacceptable to lose 5-0 to your local rivals in a league game. In summary, we were pathetic.

    That allocation is fantastic.

    Stickied League One Away Support Thread 2024/25

    We actually have a fixture v Bolton to fit in now due to the international break - could easily have had Bolton v us on that day and left Pompey v Bolton on the Saturday. ;-)

    We had him for five years - don’t blame us!

    Tuesday 24th October Fixtures

    Yes none of us understood it at the time either, most ridiculous swap ever. Fortunately we did get Taylor back a few years later and got another promotion with him (alongside Martin Butler and Trevor Benjamin). To say Taylor is considered a legend for us is an understatement.

    FA Cup 2023/24

    I think it’s a great opportunity for both of us. We have been pretty poor going forward this season but we’re not conceding many (aside from being thumped by Barnsley). I think it’ll be right and could go to a replay, pens etc

    Nowhere in the rule book does it say that you have to draw your grass like Kew Gardens or play Total Football like the Dutch. The pitches in the early 90s were generally shite and we were incredibly effective away from home where we obviously didn’t prepare the pitch. Dion was (and is) great...

    Kiddy or Fleetwood at home for us. Kiddy currently beating Fleetwood 1-0. Edit: Now 1-1

    Carabao Cup 23/24

    It’s a crap draw, only saving grace is it’s at home. :-(
