Clyde1998 Incidentally, I found the figure for Charlton's away following for the EFL Trophy game against them last season - 249.

You have waaaay too much spare time on your hands ...

As a thought experiment with MK Dons, I often wonder if they could have achieved more had the owners with the bright idea done everything organically. Started a club at the bottom and pushed them through the leagues at AFC Wimbledon ultimately did. It would create more of an identity as Milton Keyn...

Got to be looked at in the context of transfer fees. So: Carl Asaba. Record signing. Wasn't terrible but he was no Jimmy Quinn. He was perfectly fine in his proper role, as an attacking wide player/inside forward. But he and Jim McIntyre both suffered exactly the same problem, that when they were b...

Jack Celliers Of all of those, Drenthe is probably the worst player ever to have played for us.

You must be too young to remember Sean Evers?

Would you prefer novo cuisine to steak and chips m33 I love a steak too but in a fine dining setting, if indeed this purports to be that, then yes absolutely. "Portions a bit too small" - yeh it's not all you can eat buffet lads. It’s penny pinching m8. You can have proper portion sizes i...

Reckon the tv games will be: Blackpool vs Birmingham Kettering vs Doncaster Walsall vs Charlton Wealdstone vs Wycombe Would be harsh on Harborough. Can't see Walsall v Charlton being that attractive but you're probably right on the others. Think we'll be one of them, Harborough getting this far is ...

LOL at those saying there’s nothing to learn from tonight and it’s only one game. We’re shit away from home and Selles has done fcuk all about it. Our goal difference is poorer because of it and the longer it carries on the more the pressure on home results will be. Oh and look at our next few fixt...

Clyde1998 The club said 741 tickets have been sold for this, with additional tickets available via Stockport today.

That is actually pretty impressive for a Tuesday night away in deepest Cheshire.

Probably helps that it's a ground we've not played at for donkey's years.

Dirk Gently Anyone know if tonight's game at Stockport is on the red button?

The Sky Sports website has it listed as being shown.

Thanks. I was being lazy, on the (correct) assumption someone here would already know.

Carries on like this and he's going to be getting into Ballon d'Or conversations soon.

Yep, nicely done - but not quite sure about the keeper's positioning.

People tend to have selective memories to suit their own narrative. Yes, I can remember some wonderful atmospheres at Elm Park, but I also remember far more when it was dire, especially from the early/mid 80s, when the South Bank had great empty expanses and all you could hear was the players shouti...

Snowflake Royal Holy moly, the two clearances off the line were incredible and a string of top saves from Button.

Absolute screamer from Wing, lovely calm quick reaction from Savage for his.

The Bindon goal-line clearance made me think of Sonko at his most determined.

Biscuit goalie MK V Dons! What were the chances

39-1

Also saw a lita interview on you tube which was really good Link? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mddTIJMwnp8 Comes across completely differently from what I expected - totally decent and thoughtful. Full of praise for Steve Coppell. He always loved him. Ian Wright was his absolute hero and role mo...

Also saw a lita interview on you tube which was really good Still playing in his 40’s. Probably the player from the 106 you would least expect to still be playing at that age and down the levels in semi pro football. If he hasn’t changed his lifestyle I have no idea how he would still be lacing his...

Scarborough Athletic away, please.

Nice little ground at a phoenix club, and a trip to the seaside is always nice.

Not a "new kit" by any means, but this beauty from 1995 is now available to celebrate Morton's 150th anniversary.

he is a good example of someone who spent his whole career moving around clubs, gradually working his down the levels as he failed to succeed at every club he joined, but always continuing to get more opportunities simply because he is already in the world of football and has played for other clubs...

There's a well-established calculation that shows that the relationship between spend and success (i.e. league position) in professional football is 87%. It's that 13% variability that makes the game interesting - this is where managerial brilliance, coaching and tactics, team-dynamics - as well as...
