Reply | Will it get any easier next season in the Championship?
at 13:00 26 Apr 2024
Yes it will be even easier. None of the teams coming down are any good and they will all be asset—stripped of what little they have.
Sheff U may even go straight through to division 3 depending on how their financial woes are assessed |

Lib Dem’s implosion after going into bed with the nasty party probably beats the rabid jimmies quite easily.
You’re probably getting confused because first past the post has overloaded our parliament with SNP MPs. It’s a different kettle of fish in the northern outpost’s own excuse for a parliament because the assembly representatives are more representative of what the McUnwashed actually have voted for, |

Reply | IF we don't go up... Which players do we see being wanted by bigger clubs?
at 10:45 23 Apr 2024
Brighton, Chelsea and Bournemouth might be interested in their own players - that’s about it I’d suggest. Davis is too much of a defensive liability though might interest the promoted clubs. Other than that maybe the skipper , again to a promoted club.
The only realistic target is the manager - who carries with him an almighty amount of baggage in terms of hangers on, ‘team’ call them what you will, that might have a catastrophic impact if/when he jumps ship.
Also don’t forget the ´investors’ they might not like the mirage disappearing
But don’t panic just yet. One win or three draws might still be enough to ensure a year of purgatory. |

Reply | Anyone got a VW or similar camper van?
at 13:16 19 Apr 2024
My parents had a Bedford Dormabile in the 60s with stylish fins and a lift up roof. It was vastly superior to the VW camper vans kicking around at the time that Commer copied. Every holiday to foreign climes brought an orderly queue of intrigued continentals to view the luxury Formica interior.
Strange how faddists don’t seem to want them nowadays. Though the DIY van conversions seem eminently trendy going through to Spain. |

You’ll see more the further south you go - so Iberia is better than France - but they back in our garden in Southern France now. Same goes for golden orioles which are strangely difficult to spot even when they’re singing in a tree you’re right underneath
Might be an idea to travel to the Pyrenees or Aveyron where you can combine seeing Hoopoes with some rather iconic birds of prey and wall creepers. And the bridge at Millau is endlessly impressive too. |

Thé FA Cup became redundant decades when clubs started playing reserves and rejects and tried to lose asap. That includes clubs in every division - and Town have been standard bearers in devaluing a once great but now farcical competition |

Clearly Brexit is so damaging to the UK (not to mention being utterly impossible in Northern Ireland) that it will be quietly reversed in degrees in the years to come. The untenable situation in Northern Ireland will also ensure the Brits are back in the single market in the next decade too.
What intrigues me is that nobody seems to have joined up the dots on Britain’s stinking rivers, lack of social housing, crumbling infrastructure - and another blinkered bit of Conservative self-harming ideology …. Thatcher’s privatisation piracy. |

Not sure I can find the time or pettiness to ‘dislike’ other clubs on a full time basis but I confess to feeling quite pleased when ‘big clubs’ lose those pesky foreigners in Europe - so I’ve rather enjoyed this week |

97-98…I think. Three relegated teams contesting by top three - with, inevitably the third place team losing out to Charlton in the play offs. Probably before when most TWTD folk were born |

Tennis? You posh git! We played football in the road with a tennis ball and jumpers for goalposts. Now that empty road is lined with cars on both sides of the road - and you take your life in your hands crossing it with all the 4x4s and SUVs rushing by
Meanwhile the kids are at home playing video games on line |

I seem to remember he was dropped by England from time to time because Norman Gifford had a more ‘correct’ action. Deadly was a bit unique in his near medium pacers. |

Reply | If you could be any of the Top 4 who would you want to be for going up purposes
at 08:40 15 Apr 2024
Realistically the only one of the top six who would have a prayer of staying up is dirty Leeds - but clearly they would have to ditch Farke. However all season I’ve rather liked the scenario of Norwich knocking them out in the play offs which is looking increasingly likely.
Unless some more of the Premier League dross get more damaging points deductions that actually discourage cheating there three who go up will come straight back down. And if Leicester and Southampton miss out on the play offs they will implode.
Thinking about it that might be the more interesting question - who can survive not going up. |

Our foreigners are better paid than their foreigners which tends to translate into better teams.
Our oil state Sportswashing project has also been a lot more successful than their oil state sportswashing project
The emergence of a second decent team in Germany, Italian clubs taking the second competition a bit more seriously than other countries perhaps- though Spain and Portugal have also given it a go. But the main factor in the Chumps League is the lopsided draw which pitted the four best teams against each other - and neither tie is quite over yet |
