....as if the bottom 6-8 in the PL is anything special.
There are lots of fans who are under the misapprehension that the Premier League is a star-studded football fest from top to bottom. It isn't. The overall standard has steadily declined in recent years, including some of the bigger teams...
His managerial career is a series of peaks and troughs. There is no real consistency in his record. His teams go on winning streaks and then the wheels come off and losses start mounting up. Then, if given long enough, eventually, the winning starts again. Sometimes the streaks last weeks...
Never could work that one out.....The Southern Irish did everything they could to help Nazi Germany by offering them safe haven and an easier opportunity to attack American shipping in the Atlantic and yet, only a few years later, the Yanks are shovelling money at their cause as if its going out...
See my previous post re pundits living superficially in the present and not bothering to analyse more. Our recent history is strong bar one blip ( even Chelsea get them ) Our infrastructure is strong and this is absolute bollocks to suggest that we are punching above our weight. We are there by...
No one in the press or punditry world wants to be proved wrong and those that have given us no credit thus far, ain't gonna change now.
The trouble with a lot of people that write about and follow football is that they don't study clubs and players and trends and momentums and changes enough...
How do highly paid footballers get away with ' coasting ' when in every other walk of life it wouldn't be tolerated. Why do fans make excuses for their players and allow seasons to drift and limp tamely to a finish. Fans have every right to be more demanding, every time a player pulls on their...
A3 shut southbound off M25....M25 shut at A3......M3 shut southbound off M25....M4 shut between two Reading junctions ( 10 + 11 )....and throw in single lane on M25 for some distance.....I know....I did that journey last night!!!
...and been to the bloody Red Lion at bloody Fenny Stratford and sat in the bloody beer garden, watching the bloody canal boats, four bloody times and still not seen a bloody goal.
Amazing, when you consider we started the season with a record breaking unbeaten run. We then suffered a near crippling run of injuries, that would also have derailed Burnley, Boro and Hull ( All three have had pretty settled squads all season ) We have shown the character to claw our way back...
Correct.
They are sandwiched in the middle of the catchment area for London and Brighton. There are some clubs that you know will just never grow because of location and other influences. Wycombe are the same and Orient as well. Good clubs but very limited potential.
Crawley have done remarkably...
I'm a bit puzzled why certain BHA fans think that a draw at Preston is a poor result. We need to average 2 points a game and since the end of ' the blip ' we have taken 20 points from 9 games. In my book, a win at Preston would have been a bonus. We need to win five of our remaining six home...
Looking at the stats we seem to have a poor record against them and from memory, I don't remember too many successes over the years. We have our mojo back and they seem to be having a minor blip, with goals drying up. They are a good side but the loss of Forestieri is a big blow for them. Four...
IMHO Crofts is struggling at the top end of the Championship. His performance at Cardiff was poor and that is being kind. His natural level now is Div 1 and he won't play a part in any of our future plans.
I think we all realise now that the long unbeaten run, in itself, created a desire not to get beaten. We drew 10 of those 21 games and 2-3 of those were probably because of extra caution. Since then we have only drawn 3 of 14 games, all three away and two, in my book, at Hull and Preston have...
