It's a bit odd, as everyone has a reasonably winnable game. I guess it's less stressful knowing it's not in your own hands anymore.

Well we lay greater claim than the Essex mob, and I reckon we'd win that league next year so bring it on. Chuck in Coggenhoe United too and we're sorted.

Really annoys me when teams do that. Particularly when we do, I know we've got a reasonable away kit this year but our colours clash with about three sides, and we always end up with a third kit anyway. One season we ended up with a Mansfield-esq 3rd or 4th kit for one match in the Conference...

Fair, sounds like Wigan but backwards! I wish you could put a football crowd on the Bradford terrace though!

Yes but only since the PL days. Could make a case with Bradford too, no?

It depends whether it's better to have had 100 years of League Football twiddling your thumbs, or 30 years with a massive mark left. I'm probably biased in this, but I err toward the latter (depends on the clubs being compared really). Meh.

Let's have Blackpool down, either way it's a weekender in Blackpool but one is more appealing and much easier to get to! I have a perverse soft spot for Braintree, and would probably die laughing if they were a football league team. Grimsby to do it and help the North/South balace (which...

Gateshead's stadium doesn't have particularly bad views. Feels detatched, but then any ground does where there's little home support. Unless of course you're Grimsby in the play offs and have to watch from an end nearer the Tyne than the pitch.

You can say 'undeserved' but it only really holds up for teams who have finished in the bottom 2 places. Without knowing every league finish for every club, it's hard to say who that may or may not be. There are obviously great examples, such as Torquay who would have been relegated something...

And you can't fault that. This cartoon sums it up for me.

It's funny because those who've been here a while used to dislike FGR for their small-time parochial take on things. A few Linda McCartney burgers and 50 strikers later, there's shades of doubt, shades of hypocrisy and all sorts about it. However, I quite like FGR now, and I quite like their...

Gotta fancy FGR. Braintree would be brilliant, if only for shits and giggles. If they got in the league, they'd be by far the smallest side. Probably since Thames were knocking around but anyway, Braintree and Colchester sharing a division would be amusing too. Aside from that, the fellow...

At the end of the day, even going back 5/10 games, it didn't look likely we'd even get as close to the play-offs as we have. At the start of the season I'd said we'd finish 9th-12th, and even after the Derry upturn it looked unlikely we'd finish top 10. We still may not, in fairness, but 8th...

I realise we're speaking in pure hypothetical terms but...If we somehow ended up in the play-offs, which takes Wimbledon failing to beat two pony sides and us beating two decent sides, we'd win by virtue of the laws of the universe having shifted seismically in our favour. Duh.

I know people are over-critical of their own clubs kits, but that's really not bad enough to be memorable. Could do with white shorts mind.

The more you talk about it, the less it sounds you care :2thumb:

Not aimed at anyone in particular, just the way the debate has gone.

The words 'young' and 'experience' often become synonymous when talking about football, in the same way 'history' and 'success' do when people are looking to score cheap points. If you genuinely can't see what separates Dele Alli and Marcus Rashford in terms of experience, rather than age, then...

As half the division has been in the top flight in the not too distant past, I don't think it'll be quite that unanimous a 'cup final'. It obviously will for a fair few clubs, and there's no shame in that. However, I just can't get over the idea of Burton Albion hosting Aston Villa and their...

Why just Brummies? :animatedf:
