    FA Cup 19/20

    Their ground is bloody awful. Suitable for the level they play at, but not for anything above that. Tiny allocation in a tin shack of a stand, facilities poor, transportation there poor. I also doubt we'll be on the Friday/Monday either. Maldon & Tiptree v Grimsby/Newport and Solihull v...

    American Football

    It was looking like a disaster for them after they lost to the Ravens, but it's an incredible turnaround by them. Lost Big Ben, AB, Bell, but you do wonder if all that controversy they removed in the offseason helped them. You could easily see them now winning 5 of their last 7, maybe even 6...

    American Football

    I know it's against the Bengals, but my word is Lamar Jackson doing insane things right now. Throwing, running, incredible stuff. Also, talking about the Bengals, where does this 2019 team rank amongst the worst ever in NFL history? Good chance they go 0-16, the Dolphins look like their only...

    FA Cup 19/20

    Incredible how casual he sounds. Anyone would think they'd just come up short in a league game after a good run. They've been dumped out by an 8th tier side at home. Yet he sounds like he doesn't have a care in the world as he throws out lazy cliche after lazy cliche. Worryingly tone deaf.

    FA Cup 19/20

    After only a few shocks yesterday, today is littered with them. Dover, Maldon & Tiptree, Wrexham drawing with Rochdale, Bromley drawing with Bristol Rovers. I would add Kingstonian, but against a L2 youth side, maybe not.

    Next to go......

    It's not that simple though. Macc have a small fan base of around 1k-1.5k hard core fans. How many of those have the means to regularly put in chunks of money to help sustain the club? A few hundred tops? Do you really think there are enough of them to pump in enough money to sustain even a...

    Next to go......

    The same one as all others in this position, a shite owner who either doesn't have the money to pay the staff in time or refuses to pay on time. No matter which way you slice it, just sell the fucking club, jesus stop clinging on! I'm torn between being angry at the kids for playing and not...

    Managerial Merry-Go-Round 2020/21

    Savvy choice by Adams. Low budget, no expectations. Like Bentley, avoiding relegation is an achievement, do that for a couple of seasons and see if another club will take you. Look at Sol Campbell and to a lesser extent Bentley.

    League 2 General Chat Thread

    So, the postponements have been for rain, wind and international call ups. It's like the ten plagues, reckon they'll be locusts and the humber turning to blood next.

    FA Cup 19/20

    Not massively bothered by our game with Accrington, regardless of recent results. Would be nice to pull of a surprise result, don't want a draw with the FGR game the following Tuesday. I want a full strength team though, no midweek next week, so no reason not to really target progress...

    L2 clubs in Auto Windglass LDV Paint Checkalease Trophy

    Things couldn't have gone more perfectly in this competition if we tried. Went out at the first hurdle for the 3rd straight year, but didn't lose the last 2, so no denting of the confidence. But we also 'won' those 2 games, so collect 2 rounds of prize money. No idea why they started Ng...

    League 2 General Chat Thread

    Is that last bit sarcasm? Because they are 17th, have a dreadful away record and have the joint worst defence in the league. That doesn't happen by accident.

    D - Road definitely not rivals non derby (Crewe vs Vale)

    It was embarrassing. He ran on from the Gresty Road end, took his jacket off to reveal a Stoke City top. He than bounced along the length of the away end goading Port Vale fans. Lucky he didn't get his face filled in, stupid bellend. I mean, is he really in a position to brag about being a...

    D - Road definitely not rivals non derby (Crewe vs Vale)

    Another spineless pathetic showing. This team deserves all the plaudits for being where they are after 16 games, but that is unacceptable. Our closest rivals and the only game truly resembling a derby and they wilt, again. 1 shot on target, for the 3rd game in a row against these lot. Pathetic...

    D - Road definitely not rivals non derby (Crewe vs Vale)

    I'd say the Vale have shaded it overall, even though we've had the clearer sights of goal. They have been just a touch sharper and quicker to things, as we should have expected. At least we are clearing the lines quicker and not getting caught out deep so often. Front 3 are anonymous, Ainley has...

    D - Road definitely not rivals non derby (Crewe vs Vale)

    If there is a late decisive goal or a dodgy call for either team, things will definitely kick off. Probably the first game between these 2 teams in a long time where neither was scrapping against relegation or struggling in general.

    D - Road definitely not rivals non derby (Crewe vs Vale)

    I have only one wish for today and that is for the Alex to show up. Last season, they didn't, twice. And it still pisses me off now. They don't need to do anything they haven't been doing all season either. Keep the mistakes to a minimum, especially at the back(looking at you Nicky Hunt). Keep...

    D - Road definitely not rivals non derby (Crewe vs Vale)

    This is shaping up to be a very tactical battle I think. If the Vale roll with a 4-4-2, we should have the upper hand in midfield with our 3, they've controlled most of the games this season. No reason they can't do so here. But the Vale will have the advantage out wide and as solid as our 2...

    Carabao Cup - Crawley or Colchester?

    Got to think Colchester take this one. They are in better form and are probably on paper, a better team. But, 2 L2 teams, it could go either way.

    Managerial Merry-Go-Round 2020/21

    Will be very interesting to see both Bentley and Morecambe now. It's possible for Morecambe to find a miracle worker who can keep them up season after season, but it'll be damn hard to find someone who understands them like Bentley does. It's his squad, playing his way with his tactics. Getting...
