Re: Rival Watch

Agreed. Just need Reading to be consistent and turn up in 46 league games and there should be a decent reward. Hopefully Brum will start the season well, which should mean Eustace will be sacked by the end of October, leaving the way open for the Selles revival. Did I miss Eustace going back to Bir...

Re: Weekend Football

If Arsenal and City both win today, Arsenal will have 89 points without winning the title, the 3rd highest total after Liverpool on 92 in 2022 and 97 in 2019. All 3 behind City, which shows how relentless they are. Man Utd also got 89 in the "Aguerooooo!" season and Spurs got 86 when Chel...

Re: Rival Watch

Not that I want to think about it but Bolton have been 2-0 before and won a playoff final

Can’t remember who that was against, thankfully

Re: VAR

My reading of this was that it was intended to be used as they do in cricket, when a team goes up to the 3rd umpire; they have a certain number of reviews which they use when they think a mistake has been made. If they were right, they keep that review; if wrong, they lose it. If they use up all of...

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

I love that the agent had the cojones to send an unsolicited invoice for £800,000 without a formal contract in place. And he seemed genuinely surprised when we didn't pay it I too would like to try my luck invoicing random companies for ~1 million pounds, you never know :lol: :lol: There was (and p...

Re: Scottish premier league.

Do Celtic fans also have affinity with or a soft spot for Hibs, or is that seen as a rivalry for the same kinds of fans? (or nothing at all and I don't understand Scotch football!) Proddies v Cathodes innit Celtic & Hibs have religious connection of sorts (historically) I thought they were both...

Re: VAR

Well, anecdotally per Stranded, it's not perfect in the Bundesliga but works much better. I don't recall VAR making many headlines in La Liga, save for a couple of times when it dared to rule against Real Madrid. The 'problem' with the technology isn't really about the tech itself, in my view. It's...

Re: Generic clubs in financial crisis Thread

Is there a points sanction for entering administration while in the PL? If so I presume Everton fans will have more "unfairness" to whine about next season. Wasn’t there some rumour that Everton were going to try going into administration now to avoid the points deduction next season beca...

Let's see shall we but it would be good to have it all sorted well before the start of next season which is just over a couple of months away-that is why the "months" concerned me. Yes Stranded there has been a lot going on between us and the EFL but not for the right reasons so let's hop...

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

windermereROYAL So fine the club and punish NH immediately but give the agent 6 months grace, that sounds fair.

Be interesting to challenge the agent’s deal through the courts.
If it’s an illegal term it has the potential to be voided
Problem is, though, is it against FA rules or contrary to law ?
