Re: Goal of the Season

Kelvin v Cambridge for me, but Wing has scored some crackers. I prefer his goal vs Northampton; Henry-esque. Context also matters. His goal against Cambridge was a speculative hit of the ball when we were 3-0 up, whereas his goal against Northampton was a very skilful finish and a match winning mom...

Re: FA Cup Changes

Feels like momentum is now against this and we can start a sweepstake on the inevitable climb down. I'm going for about 1.30pm and the statement will be read out by Sky at HT in the early kick off.

Re: FA Cup Changes

Forgetting about greed, power grabs etc., those at the top of the pyramid just seem highly incompetent. The super league was a shit show too.

The EFL have just come out and denied being consulted. This will be reversed. Piss up and brewery come to mind. But of course they don't need a regulator.

Re: FA Cup Changes

All a massive overreaction. Let's be honest unless you get a big club in a replay they are massive loss makers for the majority of clubs and inconvenient for teams, players and fans. Just take our match at Eastleigh this season. We'd have had to push back the Oxford (H) match by a week to fit the r...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Who knows what they have lent the club, but the Bearwood charge means they have Dai by the balls if he tries any tricks. Of all the news in the past month, that is the development that gives me the most confidence.

Re: FA Cup Changes

Plenty of EFL clubs speaking out against this. Any chance of a U turn? Or at least a statement that the plans are paused and subject to consultation?

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I'm also hopeful on the takeover. They said up to 2 months to completion, but that may have partly been driven by uncertainty about our L1 status which is now secure. Plus, completion is the very end, but we'd hear about contracts being exchanged at least a week or so before, which really is the poi...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

The closest we came to enjoyment and reversing the decline after 2013 was 2 months or so under Clarke in 2015. The football was good, the squad seemed to have the depth, ability and coaching to sustain a challenge before the wheels fell off. By contrast, 16/17 was turgid football and I have no idea ...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I think I enjoyed pretty much every season from 2000 to 2012 being honest. They were good years. Only possible exception was 2009 as a calendar year, which started with us bottling promotion before moving on to the doomed Rodgers era. And we had a 11 month or so winless run at home spanning both of ...

Re: FA Cup Changes

This change has been a long time coming, but doesn't change the fact it's an outrage. Clubs like City and Liverpool clearly have the squads to handle an FA Cup replay.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I remembered the 4-0 Sunderland game. I was still pretty young, certainly primary school age, and didn't follow the team too closely at that point aside from the occasional game. At FT, I thought Asaba was the best player ever and couldn't understand why we were so low in the league table. Was too y...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I'd be happy if we got back to the Championship eventually and win promotion to the Premier League. I don't want us to challenge for Derby's worse team in history moniker, but I also wouldn't want us taking unnecessary financial risks to stay up. You go up, take the money, come down stronger with p...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Yeh, nobody minds L1 too much now. Good away days, we have a likeable team who compete every week. If the takeover happens, we'll probably remain patient for a couple of years and then we'll start becoming frustrated. If you read the Pompey reaction to promotion, a lot of it is focused on just how l...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Each to their own I guess. I'd happily take being a Brentford, Fulham or Palace, let alone a Brighton. Just as long as I continued to appreciate it. Some younger Palace fans want Parish and fellow owners out; the same owners who bought them out from administration, avoided relegation to L1 and then...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Burton Albion (h)

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 Probably the funniest goal we've ever conceded btw Sure there must be worse ones than that (the Darlin...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Burton Albion (h)

I knew they were bad, the table doesn't lie. But 8 straight defeats at home - fcuk me, that must be a club record. And it includes Carlisle and Cheltenham too.

I think we'll win. We're en route to ditching our Charity FC tendencies. Rovers didn't break their scoring duck against us, for starters.

Re: Rival Watch

We can't save Vale. I think we'll beat Burton on Saturday but it means nothing as Vale won't pick up another point. In fact, except for Fleetwood and Burton meeting on the final day, it wouldn't surprise if the bottom 5 collectively gain 0 points for the remainder of the season.

Re: Rival Watch

Burton beating Cheltenham, Port Vale losing and Shrewsbury with a surprise lead at Bolton. It's 99% confirmed that the current bottom 4 are gone if results stay the same.
