We're so far behind the rest...

...in sh*thousery.

And I'm glad we are.
Makes me not want to be part of the 'Premier' league.

VAR Ads
at 20:31 16 Apr 2025

Surely the time has come to have a commercial break while VAR does its thing.
Football needs this.
It's a wasted chance to sell more stuff, make more money and generally entertain the modern football fan.

Chr*st, it's so tedious, isn't it?

Is it rife in football?
Has anyone tried it?

Interesting article on a possibly worrying trend:

Need more bravery

The bravery in the final 3rd was what got us to the Premier League.
Need someone to step up.

Favourite ref?
at 21:48 21 Jan 2025

Lucan's handyman bookshelf* thread reminded me of this guy.
One of the top refs ever. Certainly the busiest and theatrical in those days.

Anyone else fondly remember his loping yellow-card brandishing runs?

Johnson off, Burns on pls. Godfrey old-school RB.
Then keep the same sodding back four for three games in a row so they can build some kind of understanding.

Books of the Year
at 07:06 19 Dec 2024

For other octopus-related things, Remarkably Bright Creatures is an beautiful, poignant novel.
I think the best book I've read this year.

Any recommendations?

Monday Night Club
at 21:20 11 Nov 2024

Lots of Town talk (especially 20:12+)

Chris Sutton praising our signings, but still kind of predicting us to go down.
Conor Coady on there too.

Cohesion
at 17:33 5 Oct 2024

The cogniscenti believe it's all about buying/loaning as many 'better' players as cash allows. As if football teams are made by cutting and pasting these into a team.

Maybe it can work, but the power of team spirit and cohesion is so hard to attain, and so easy to lose. Players need to trust what other players will do, which run they will make, whether to go long or come short. This massive overhaul is putting all that we had at risk.

There is very little defensive cohesion, and almost none when we attack. It does take time, but confidence is hard won and once lost, will take a string of wins to get back.
That's a tough feat at this level.

I really hope we get that balance back and not turn to 'we need to buy big in the January window'.

I hope we'll be ok. I trust Kieron's coaching and man-management. Fan patience may be less reliable, but that's football. Beating Everton would help.

Media coverage
at 07:29 31 Aug 2024

It's interesting, now that the boot is on the other foot, to see how far down through the Premier League 'news' and transfer fluff you need to scroll to get to actual football.
There was a Championship match last night, yet it's barely mentioned on BBC Sport.
It's not even on the Championship page:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/championship

If it had been us a year ago, I'd have been annoyed that our match hadn't got much attention.
Now that we are in the higher echelons, I can see how it happens, and how people become focussed on the top teams.

It's a shame though, and I think the media hold the key to this.
They can easily 'promote' interest simply through the placement of their news stories.














PS It was Luton 1-2 QPR

I was there waiting with the Real Madrid contract, Crystal Bic ready and poised, but he got spooked by some loon and legged it back on the train to Manningtree.

Sigh, oh well, back to finding another loan club for James Norwood.
