… about media bias - as it’s usually eye of the beholder stuff but the BBC report of the West Brom game is a joke. Written almost exclusively about WBA with barbs about larger CBS crowds for Chelsea, Wasps and Bruce Springsteen; a very peculiar gripe about Rudoni “getting away with a foul” in...

See this article on the bbc yesterday. Ahead of the Easter games every single Championship club could still get either promoted or relegated or both. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/ckg1y7ddrpxo

1. Leeds, Burnley, Sheffield Utd (this division will be v v tough next season so getting rid of clubs w parachute payments is a good thing 2. Luton (see above) Cardiff and Stoke 3. Bham (as it’s done) Wycombe (wd love Wrexham to fail) and Stockport (so I can walk to an away ground for the...

Largely depends on the away club too. Sheffield United and famously Leeds last year insisted on fans only going to designated gangways from the start, others are more likely to take a “sit where you like” attitude (although you won’t sit wherever you are). My advice is to maybe head towards the...

Something I’ve NEVER understood about the discusssions about our ground is that the general legal principle that the responsibility for decontamination of land lies with the previous owner (original contaminator) of the land seems to be routinely ignored. When Ford closed their Leamington...

Yesterday’s first goal was probably worse than the second. The main error was From Grimes who gave the ball away in precisely the manner and in exactly the place that we bought him to never give the ball away. That said Collins rushed miles off his line far too readily for *both* of the goals...

Especially when the ref had been bullied by The Bigger Boys from Burnley for 90+ minutes.

Isn’t it weird that it only took us eight days to find a team to dislike more than Sheffield United?

Zain Flemming.

Sam Parkin on Sky declared that it wasn’t even a foul - just merely the sort of block that happens for 90 minutes all over the pitch ! 😮

The ref was shocking but it wasn’t a corner. Simms never appealed for a corner and none of our team thought it was a corner until the Lino erroneously gave one.

They’d give Leon Best and Simon Charlton a run for their money though.
