So the never go back list just getting it out the way.... purely on merit of there football ability would you sign any of the following ex players- Tom Holmes - likely to be loaned out again Tom Mcintyre - likely to be loaned out again if not bought by Charlton if promoted Yakou Meite - Free agent ...
Can’t believe today 14th was 30 years ago we won 3-1 at Tranmere, in the first leg of the championship playoffs. Brilliant support that day packed the away end. Happy days. My favourite away day ever and a fantastic performance against a team that had the best home record in the division that seaso...
Wing V Wrexham but I tend to prefer a good team move over a 30 yarder. +1. I also think that the excellent passing and movement between Garcia, Wifi, and Abrefa is missing a bit from that video snippet. Wing's goals when he has been on the end of a third-man running passage of play in the final thi...
Just voted for mine: Lewis Wing's goal vs Wrexham. Wonderful team move finished with a Wing thunderbastard; Sam Smith's beauty vs Cambridge a distant second.
78/9 was my first 'proper' season too. Went with the neighbours for Doncaster in September and was hooked. Highlights were 5-1 Northampton at home ( pretty sure it was on Southern telly - anyone got it?) in February and Pompey and Aldershot over Easter (both 4-0 but I may be wrong). We seemed to wi...
Appearances that season for the defence were nuts: Death 46/46, Peters 45/46, Bennett 45/46, Hicks 46/46, White 46/46. They also all appeared in the eleven cup ties that season. That seems ridiculous now. There was probably only 15 In the entire squad. That was my very first season of watching Read...
Real Betis pulled a crowd of 31,500 at the Benito Villamarin last Saturday - for a TRAINING session. Followed that on Sunday with a record crowd of 58,538 for the Seville derby, where they beat their deadly city rivals 2-1. :shock: that is THE game I want to experience in Spain. I've heard numerous...
Earnshaw is rubbish with stats....the 1994 game was a 4-0 win in the 1993-94 promotion season under Mark McGhee, still ranks as one of the top 3 away performances I've seen from us. Was there for that too! Applauded off at the end by the Blackpool fans as I remember. Fantastic away day that started...

Major concerns about the US ability to process between 6-8 million visitors for next year. There are 42 countries in the US visa waiver program, but Argentina, Brazil, Colombia - and even co-host Mexico are not included. Incredibly, the visa application window for Colombia (700 days) has already clo...
It's actually slightly nuts that Arsenal have only won one major European trophy in their history - and it is a competition that doesn't exist any more. 13 league titles, 14 FA Cups - and one Cup Winners' Cup. Also - doesn't time pass? Liverpool went 31 years without winning the league. Unless Arse...
Great away day. Lovely weather, motorways clear, parking right outside the away end, epic pie & mushy peas, good performance, comeback win with a late winner, home by 8:30. Thought we dominated the first half and should have been at least one up - stunning stop by Tickle from Garcia's volley. Th...
Thoroughly enjoyable 0-0 and we were very much worth the point. Craig and Knibbs were immense and Mbengue's goal line clearance defied logic. Interesting to note that some on Birmingham fans' forum rated us the best side they have faced this season.
Smith's goal certainly the best I can recall since that goal by Quinn against Wolves in '96. I did witness Friday's goal vs Tranmere in '76 and the difference was the brutal power he generated - the keeper was still diving when it hit the bottom corner of the net. One goal I have seen since has remi...
Think this is the season it all catches up with Maidenhead. Really can’t keep themselves safe year after year after year after year as amateurs when practically everyone else in the division is professional. Out of interest are there any professional sides in the NLN and NLS? I think South Shields ...
