Re: Most ever losses in the FA Cup?

Incidentally I have a relation who posed the quiz question "Which club has the most wins in the FA Cup?". I believe the answer to be a non league club but have yet to work out which one. Anyone have any ideas? Kettering Town must be in contention. Found out from highlights today that they...

Re: FA Cup 1st round draw Monday 14th October

It’s also a non-sensical TV selection by the broadcasters.

Who on earth cares about Solihull vs Bromley, and how can then justify an 11.30am kick-off at Wealdstone!

JR Had Bindon to score first and 2-0 at 600/1 - very happy days :D


How much did you stake m9?


£2, so still have to go to work tomorrow!

Always fancy a goal from Mbengue or Bindon at corners/free kicks.

Re: SCL Stadium - worst ground in League One

Thought the pitch was looking dreadful today - worst I’ve seen it in 20 years.

However, didn’t seem to impact the quality of the goals or goalline clearances!

Re: CONFRIMED: Latest rumours Confrimed as Unconfrimed

The club itself is clean and above board. What lies behind in Dai's web is where the issues lie. In particular the company in the Virgin Islands. Which has no obligation to publish anything at all. Hidden behind a solid wall of secrecy. If the club is clean and above board, then why haven’t the aud...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Bolton Wanderers (a)

An abandonment next Saturday in front of the TV cameras seems inevitable. Players, demoralised and given up after swinging from the great high of early season optimism to the disaster of the last week. Fans already accepting league 2 or worse as most likely outcome. The youth of the fan base will fi...

WestYorksRoyal Among the ref criticism, anybody else think he bottled a 2nd yellow for Wing late on?


Definitely - it was the classic different rules applied when player is already on a yellow.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Lincoln City (h)

Anyone able to explain who scored the goal? Looked all the world like Bindon headed it in, but announcer said Knibbs and so did Sky Bet……which would be a shame as had Tyler at 25/1

Re: MATCHWATCH : Lincoln City (h)

Clear handball. Absolute howler from the ref. Surely should have been a red card too? Was it really at Port Vale, 8 months ago, that Reading last had a penalty in a league game? Seems to be a season of refereeing incompetence across all 4 divisions. Thankfully at least we don't have VAR here to mak...

Re: The phoenix club thread

Agree in that I'd need to have confidence in the new outfit before investing, but for me the bar is somewhat higher than STAR and Nigel f*cking Howe. That lot couldn't organise a piss up in brewery. My main concern is my money being used for the purpose it was given. Not how well it is used. If you...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Derby County (a)

Bit pointless to blame the officials. We weren't good enough on the night and were beaten by a better team fighting for promotion. It was a free hit. Bit pointless to blame the reason we lost on the actual reason we lost? Is this guy for real? It all evens itself out over the course of a season. Th...

I sometimes think SBWD need to consider the bigger picture and why these punishments are levied. Yep. I could do an annotation of what is wrong with that SBWD statement. Most paragraphs to be honest.

Re: Potential New Owners

Yeah I think the only problem is timeframes, when people say "sustainable", how long do they expect that to last? That's the only thing I'd say. How much money has the Brentford owner put in? In their build up to promotion, it felt like they brought in big transfer fees to finance the squ...
