    £10k fine from Sheff U game

    Just three people from sports that might be more worthy of hatred than Chris Wilder. I doubt he’s in my top three most disliked Sheff U managers tbh.

    £10k fine from Sheff U game

    Suggests you’ve never heard of Marlon King, Don King, or John Gre666ry.

    Reasons to be cheerful

    Our £5k was double because we pleaded not guilty, Sheff United’s £100k (it was their 5 charge in 2 years) was reduced because they admitted the offence.

    Transfer Rumour January transfer window

    The cap by Belgium was a curio… Doomed manager’s last game…. dead rubber vs Isreal in a neutral country… u21s with important game at the same time so promote one of the yoof subs to senior squad to cover injuries and suspension without weakening u21 chance of qualification… Belgium losing to...

    Transfer Rumour January transfer window

    We had this for 5+ years w Robins (and before that with Presley). People claimed he was surely about to walk as Sisu wouldn’t put their hands in their pockets/ kept selling the family silver/ wouldn’t give Carl Baker a new contract….

    More xG Stuff

    Anyone see Arsenal - Man United in the cup? Xg was something like 3- 0.5 to Arsenal. No surprise that they didn’t win as not taking the good opportunities they create is one of their chief characteristics. At what point do we see XG as a symptom of our deficiencies rather than evidence that it...

    Danns from Liverpool

    Because we really need a teenage striker coming here on the understanding that they’re a guaranteed starter if fit? I won’t hold my breath

    A-E, H and I can all be simultaneously true.

    What Happened Last Season?

    I believe part of the surprise/misunderstanding is that the Viveash interview was so rich that The CT was able to spread it over 2/3 days in the run up to the FA Cup semi final. The first (iirc) talked about the working relationship btw Robins and Viveash, player development etc, the second was...

    Good grief no! When was the last time he actually played a football match?

    Sean dyche sacked.

    Sacking him hours before an FA Cup game stinks of lack of respect for the man and the competition.

    Rob Èdwards gone at Luton

    Really odd how he has worked well at Luton twice and been a poor fit everywhere else. Are we expecting him to leave Charlton to return there now? Godden to take over as interim manager?

    Sunny weekend in Paisley? In July? You want the moon on a stick don’t you?

    Transfer Rumour January transfer window

    Apart from a sleepy first 10 minutes ( including him literally turning his back on play as the ball was played to him by Allen), he did well. At times last season I thought he was the one destined for higher things, at times it was Thomas. This season Kitchin was dropped after a poor end to the...

    Match Thread Coventry v St Mirren - 2nd leg Anglo Scottish Cup

    The home leg was pretty poor; gate barely above 5k. Was the first time I watched David Smith start for us. Could have sworn that their equaliser was scored by their most famous player, Frank McGarvey, who had returned to Scotland after a big money move to Liverpool went badly wrong.
