Re: Rumour - Jordan Hugill

I suspect we’ve really gone big on this and put in the biggest bid we could.
Which would be £0.

Orion1871 FA investigating claims that Oxford defender Ciaron Brown was deliberately booked during FA Cup third round defeat by Arsenal


Surely it would be more worthy of investigating if he was accidently booked ?

Re: The magic of the FA Cup

Having said that Federici did win POTS in 2014/2015 I think that was more of an emotional thing - voting was just a couple of weeks after his FA Cup semi-final howler and all the press coverage about how devastated he was... POTS is pretty much an emotional thing. Suspect the number of people who d...

From Despair To Where? The second penalty was Waddle-esque in its orbital trajectory.

Jimmy Quinn missed one away at York many years ago that was only stopped from reaching the Irish Sea by the Pennines

Re: The magic of the FA Cup

He's a cup show pony manager. He did brilliantly twice with Bradford in cup competitions but what's he achieved anywhere bar that? Wrexham are a big fish in non-league so would be expected to be up there. Flopped at Charlton and Bolton who are around the same sized clubs as us. Not having any of th...

Re: Injury watch 2022/23

Ejaria, Tetek, Holmes and Fornah have all been pictured in first-team training this morning, only Moore out of the 5 (known) injured players that hasn't been seen. Seems a bit early for Fornah to be back. Depends what they are doing - if Fornah is just standing round chatting he’s probably going to...

Re: January transfer window 2023

To be fair, Carroll and Mbengue are out of contract shortly so it's only a matter of time before we have some wriggled room as it stands. In fairness, I wouldn't actually mind Ritchie. A decent set piece taker, experienced and can cover a fair few positions for us as well. An even better option mig...

Snowflake Royal God no. Both parties desperately need a clean break.


Moore has had enough injuries, last thing he needs is to break something….

Re: Reading FC Womens World

No. Its a different team. Academy running costs aren't included either (outside player wages). But the WSL operate a wage cap and other elements of FFP linked to the income of the team. However, it seems you are allowed to have very generous sponsors, so long as the deal is watertight, so maybe Mr ...

Re: The magic of the FA Cup

Would have liked that at home but not really away again Anyway fee quid for the coffers and Ince will be happy Straight 50/50 split of the gate isn’t it? 45% 45% I believe but yeah I think the split is of the ‘profit’ rather than the actual takings. So the home club can take the cost of staging the...

Re: Injury watch 2022/23

Obviously it would have to be a mutual agreement if it was the case. I did say it wasn’t likely, would in part be to protect his reputation. Woukdn’t need to be ‘mutual’ at all. The club could simply pay his wages to the end of the contract and cancel his registration. Given the club trashed his re...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Watford (h)

Personally, I think Joao is one of the best strikers we’ve had. I’m sure when we signed him from Wednesday their fans also felt that he could be lazy, disinterested but brilliant at times. Let’s face it if he brought his A game to every match he’d be playing for a top side in the Premiership or Eur...

The only possible reason it wouldn’t be genuine would be to mask that the total breakdown in relations between him and the club is still in effect and avoid awkward calls from him to play when that's simply not going to happen.

To be fair to Ian I thought that was more an ironic ‘you coukdn’t make it up’ rather than finding one of our players getting hurt amusing
