For those interested, Opta think we only have a 2.9% chance of relegation. I wish I shared their confidence. That's interesting, and I find that very re-assuring. When I look at their percentages for other leagues I have always been in general agreement with them. They're not stupid and look at run...

An interesting article on the Athletic today that Notts Forest have included an academic graduate in every matchday squad (including bench) since WW2. A few criteria: - Must have been signed by the club before they were 18 - Must have played in at least one youth category (not just reserves) - Fore...

The flag is grammatically correct in Spanish.

Think "Copa Del Rey" as an example of the grammar.

Good to read the above exchanges, as it shows that there is nothing leaking out from the exclusivity process. We just have to let them get on with it and we will hear any news as and when. Hopefully the team can perform on the pitch and stay up, as I suspect relegation might cause a re-think from t...

I seem to remember Wigan having points deducted after the season ended or was it just before the last game? It was only a few seasons ago but can't think why it was. Could have been to do administration, I suppose. It was for administration. If imposed close to the end of the season, it's suspended...

Today is also a reality check for next season's ambitions. If any fans are hoping to stay up, complete takeover and win promotion next season, today and Pompey show how far off the levels required we are. In a best case scenario with survival and a takeover, this team is still only 1 year into a 3 ...

Bit frustrating we can't ever quite break free and move clear. But no harm done. And might actually help bring Yids back into the starting line up... he is our best RB after all. Keeping it at 6 clear today was a good outcome, so I think only Cambridge have gained on us of the sides below us before...

Burton, Port Vale and Cheltenham are 5, 6 & 7 points back with 5, 6 & 7 games to play respectively. It’s a tough shout to get 1 PPG more than the team you’re chasing so I’d fancy our chances that 2 of them won’t manage it Cheltenham's last three are Peterborough, Stevenage and Lincoln, the ...

Was he an academy graduate? Didn’t think we had an academy back then… But if we are going before academies were a thing You could probably throw ady Williams on the list also Academy is just a new name and structure for a youth team. Clubs have had youth teams for ages. Yes I know but what about Re...

We've already achieved more points than we finished with in the last 2 seasons (and with same points deductions).

Sutekh Barrow please.

Getting dangerously close to QPR surviving.

Seen us play Barrow in the league in 1972.

All my family went as they were giving out vouchers at the turnstiles for the Arsenal cup game the following week.

As a keen amateur astronomer, I've always known Chiron as a minor planet, similar to Pluto, frequenting the outer solar system.

Very difficult to find even with a good quality telescope...

Main takeaways from the game...

FIrst time in ages we've had a goalkeeping performance that's influenced the result in our favour and good to see the defence by and large doing a good job against a decent side.

Bindon is quality, can't see us hanging on to him in the summer.

I'd like to see hollywood fc stay down though that's sadly looking unlikely now

Franchise FC Would like Leeds & Leicester to drop points in one more game each, please ?

Yep - Leeds more likely to tie with 106 given their form

Special thanks to Jamie Vardy for those misses (albeit good goalkeeping).

5 added on....

Expecting a close game, a draw or narrow victory. We do seem to up our game a bit against the better teams. Any result which betters Cheltenham and Port Vale will do nicely as another game chalked off the season. However, with Bolton coming up on the Monday a defeat would be pretty bad and may drag...

Looks like everyone's fit for tomorrow, including Holmes.

Dorsett slight concern but should make it.

Looks like only Bindon of our regular first team players has played in the internationals so touch wood all will come back fit.
