Will Chelsea try to buy all the Barrow players before they play them?

It's another home draw. Could've been easier, but at least we're at the Amex again.

The good old days. ;)

Opening ceremony now on Channel 4. That channel will do an incredible job over the next 11 days with live coverage from 8:30am through to 9:30pm. After that it's the Last Leg Live from Paris and then the highlights show until 11:35pm. Every. Single. Day. :)

Time for the Paralympics everyone! :) As this thread was so enjoyable before in some tough times, any chance we could keep it going with a small Mod title addition with 'and Paralympics'? Over to you, Mods. @Frutos @Guinness Boy et al . Edit - and as if by magic.... Many thanks @Frutos .

To clarify, I wouldn't be expecting the woman in question to be tarred and feathered before being fed to the starlings off the West Pier. As she's working in football, a charge of 'bringing the game into disrepute' wouldn't be unreasonable IMHO. Hopefully it would have as much of a deterrent...

Please see my post of #190 earlier. She should be held to account with that tweet. She made the decision to post it. No-one forced her. Any apologism here is risible. And nobody's victimizing her. Stop trying to create a narrative here that isn't true. She's not the victim. And she...

Quite so. At the risk of over-thinking, I see a potential danger for us here of the narrative being conveniently switched to false accusations of online misogyny and 'hounded off the internet' to avoid individual blame. Media outlets have a reputation for avoiding context and nuance for the...

Grimsby were a League Two side when they visited us in the FA Cup QF having put out another top flight side away from home in the previous round. If anything, they'd have had more reason to be overly physical and 'mix it' being a division lower than Crawley. But they believed that they had...

Compare the attitude shown from Crawley with that of another lower league club, Grimsby, who visited the Amex in a much more important Cup game. A similar scoreline and result at the end for both sides, but one club showed class and the other didn't.

Enough to help pay a contract for a lower league journeyman / mixed martial artist to injure a £25m player after 6 minutes on his home debut. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_Williams_(footballer) "...the night was soured early on when O’Riley, who only joined from Celtic 24 hours earlier...

From 67 games in charge, Sven had a W40 D17 L10 record. That's a 59.7% Win Percentage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England_national_football_team_manager Keegan? 38.9% McClaren? 50.0% Hodgson? 58.9% Robson? 49.5% Taylor? 47.5% Venables? 47.8% Revie? 48.3% Winterbottom? 56.1% Of...

Very thoughtful indeed, but it was 1st September 2001. We lost 2-0 to Northampton away the night before on the 31st August. I got the train down afterwards and disembarked at Gatwick Airport! :)

One of my greatest memories in football will always be having been in the stadium for the 1-5 in Munich. To put it into context, England were dire in the last game at the old Wembley with Keegan resigning after the Germany defeat. Sven came in, got the respect of the players, turned it around...

I can't believe you've overlooked the first half of the League Two clash of the ages when the unstoppable force of Milton Keynes Dons (15th) will smash into the immovable object that is Salford City (20th) at home.

"Sometimes I fantasize When the streets are cold and lonely And the cars they burn below me Don't these times Fill your eyes When the streets are cold and lonely And the cars they burn below me Are you all alone Are you made of stone?" With the riots of a few weeks ago and polarized political...

Oasis were outstanding in their prime with so many essential sing-along songs, but in truth I preferred Blur and the pathos lyrics of For Tomorrow, etc. The Stone Roses had the greatest debut album of all time IMHO. Their flame burned shorter, but much brighter. The intro of I Wanna Be Adored...

To celebrate this happy news, I've just ordered some Oasis soup. You get a roll with it.

Apparently XTC are considering a one-off gig at Selhurst Park. They're only making plans for Nigel.

"Grrrr! And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!"
