So Villa obviously through; Liverpool and West Ham both out. Leverkusen scoring an 89th minute equaliser on the night to remain undefeated this season.

Loafer Referee had a nightmare in the villa penalty shootout

Sent emi martinez of but then changed his mind

According to the BBC report, yellow cards aren't carried over to penalty shootouts!

Loafer Wasn't it Burton or newport or soneb recently who got a money spinning (h8 that phrase) replay against man United?

Cambridge? Although that may have been ten years ago.

It would be good if they resolved that issue, shouldn't be too difficult to resolve (as it should simply be outputting a figure from the club's database), however I would say I'm happy they've had their deal extended. As a user, they seem to provide a good ticketing website service and the alternati...

Judging by their home attendances, there's probably going to be a similar amount, maybe even more away fans than home fans. Burton have averaged 2,500 home fans this season (excluding the away followings) - so assuming it's roughly that again it will be near an even split with us taking 1,700. If t...

Obviously they’re still world class talents but perhaps those suggesting England should win the Euros at a canter should perhaps look at the respective performances of Rice, Saka, Bellingham and Foden tonight as they were collectively disappointing! To emphasise this point: since 1998 (the first se...

How did Schalke get into the UEFA Cup? They won it that season so qualified to be in it again the next Crikey - wonder if they are the lowest placed side to win a European competition in recent times? Edit: was a remarkable run through the competition. This was in the days of it being a two-legged ...

When was last time we had no English teams in the cl Semis? Must have been ages right? When was the last time there were no English teams in the Champions League or Europa League semi-finals? That's very possible to happen now with Liverpool and West Ham both in very poor positions going into their...

There’s something I really dislike about Burton. Not really justified as they are a solid enough club. Think it goes back to Stam 1-2 game in front of a full house, just brings back awful memories Anyway yes they are dire and we should win Wouldn’t change too much, no point playing Holmes or Mukair...

It’s hard to guess what happens so sticking a neck out is fine. I didn’t think Pereira was up for it either even if I didn’t say so, and happy to admit looks like I got it wrong too on recent performances . Was never a huge fan of Button either tbh. But truth is I don’t think any of them are really...

After tonight's results, I think it's 0 (1) now.

Portsmouth have won the title with two late goals against Barnsley. Bolton drew with Shrewsbury and Peterborough won against Fleetwood, leaving the final promotion space looking like: C - Portsmouth - 94pts [+36 GD] 2 - Derby - 86pts [+38] 3 - Bolton - 83pts [+33] 4 - Peterborough - 80pts [+28; a ma...

tidus_mi2 Vale equalise but they really need to win.

2-1 Wycombe. That could be that for them unfortunately.

Burton will certainly have something to play on Saturday, but it's looking increasingly likely Blackpool will also something to play for against us.

This isn't at all good for fans that watch live football even with the proposed notice, one of the good things about this season has been 3 o'clock kick offs and midweek games not live which kills attendances. So next season we will have around 8 midweek games all live, all cup games and assuming o...

ESPN are reporting IFAB run a trial to help enforce the six-second rule for goalkeepers holding on to the ball: https://twitter.com/DaleJohnsonESPN/status/1780201020020130025 As part of the trial, the referee shall: ⋅ start counting to eight seconds when the keeper has clear control of the...

Chesterfield, having got to 90 points after 35 games, have now picked up just 5 points in their last 10 games. Clearly massively taken the foot off the gas once it became clear they were up. Went from losing just 3 games in those first 35 to 10 now. Question is, how fair is that on other sides with...

Fantastic news to share - Burton have banned inflatables on Saturday 8) They tried the same last time we did it there (2017); initially taking away inflatables from the first hundred or so people in the terrace. The gave up when they realised they didn't have enough stewards to enforce it. :lol: Un...

Given the last few years I'm not sure we should really be lolling at clubs with batshit mental owners seemingly intent on screwing the club into the ground. That said, £3 billion? Just how could a stadium cost that much unless you're using it for money laundering purposes? Tottenham's stadium cost ...
