as they travelled to our game? Absolutely bonkers 5-5 draw with two goals from David McGoldrick, the second of which was surely the winner to make it 4-5 in the 90-somethingth minute only for a great equaliser by a Grimsby sub in the 90-somethingth plus minute
Here are the highlights - best bit is how Grimsby really should have worked out where the Notts' danger was coming from and tried to stop it (that bloke's now got 16 assists already this season).
Are we going to get the two toughest home tests of the season in consecutive games?
McKenna ball against the new QPR manager’s approach could just lead to two teams trying to draw the other’s press onto them so they can play it out from the back and quickly get up the pitch to create chances. Will it be the ultimate expression of modern tactics resulting in everything collapsing in on itself and a rupture in the time/space continuum?
Or will Cifuentes not have had enough time to turn André Dozzell into the Championship Xavi, making us lucky to play them early in his tenure?
As ever Loft for Words has an entertaining and informative piece on their new manager.
Planning a wedding anniversary trip to New York around this time next year. Historically, there's been loads of New York travel-related advice on here but most of it pre-dates the pandemic and the city's recent crackdown on unlicensed AirBnB rentals. Does anyone have any post-pandemic advice on which parts of New York to stay in for a first timer and recommendations for hotels/accommodation rentals please? We'd like to do most of the usual things - Central Park, Ellis Island, MoMA, go up a tall building etc. and there will be just the two of us. Thanks
Rather than apologise to two callers who you didn't have time to fit in after the game, why not tell shameless self publicist Frank, who doesn't go to games, that he's not going to have the opportunity to bore the listeners senseless this week.
So, Reading sold out again. by soupytwist25 Aug 2023 9:07 Final allocation to season ticket holders from 10 am and general sale from 12 noon today according to an email I just received.
Sales will be available as standard via tickets.itfc.co.uk or in Planet Blue. Tickets will only be available for collection at the Select Car Leasing Stadium on the night.
What’s the best way to travel to and from Wembley Stadium this Saturday from Braintree area? Wife and teenage kids are going to see Harry Styles. Had an email from Ticketmaster discouraging the use of Wembley Park and Wembley Stadium/Wembley Central are less convenient if going into Liverpool Street/Stratford.
Public transport preferred but driving part way is possible, or being collected from somewhere in outer London afterwards by car (if getting public transport in that direction afterwards is easier).
It's by Watford supporting Guardian journalist Simon Burnton and I guess reflects quite a few people's thoughts about Ipswich in the last years of the Evans era.
Maybe Watford need to drop a bit lower like we did before they start the long climb back towards the top. It certainly feels good when you get the sense your club is back travelling in the right direction.
Having tested positive for Covid on 23rd December I have been told by NHS Test/Trace to isolate until 29th.
I have a ticket for the Lincoln game on New Years Day so checked the NHS app earlier to see the Covid passport I created in time for the Sunderland game (which I didn’t attend in the end) and downloaded to my phone is still valid. It tells me I can’t use an existing pass, or create a new one following my positive test, until 3rd January.
However the requirements for entry to the game are “proof of full vaccination via a COVID Pass or a negative lateral flow test which has been administered no earlier than 48 hours before kick-off.”
I did a lateral flow test this morning — negative. So, assuming I continue to test negative for the next 4 days can I attend the game by showing the test result rather than the Covid pass? That would be in keeping with the letter of the requirements, is it in the spirit of them?
One thing I haven't seen discussed is whether the takeover will load a pile of debt onto the club as happened recently at Burnley and was how the Glaziers took over Man Utd. Or are the potential investors using their own money, or money they're borrowing themselves?
I was wondering whether we have fallen to the lowest point of any English club to have won a European trophy.
Apparently former two times European Champions Nottingham Forest managed to sink to 21st in League One after 7 games of the 2005-06 season before finishing 7th which was their lowest ever league finish. We haven’t got all the way down to 21st yet, have we? But we did finish lower than 7th last season.
Leeds (twice winners of the Inter City Fairs Cup) were still bottom of League One after five games of the 2007-08 season despite winning all five as they’d been deducted points for insolvency. It took them until the sixth league game to move up to 20th and they finished the season 5th.
Manchester City (once winners of the Inter City Fairs Cup) were in the third division in 1998-99 and dropped as low as 13th in December ’98 before finishing 3rd, their lowest ever league finish. They did go up via the playoffs that season.
I think that at the current rate of progress we will finish a completed season (rather than a truncated one like last season) in the lowest position of any English club to have won a European trophy.
There’s one for the CV Marcus Evans and Paul Lambert.
Found out about the death of Jim McLean, manager of Dundee United, on the Guardian Football Weekly podcast.
They referred to an article in Scottish football publication The Nutmeg, and it's well worth a read including mention of our current manager and excellent Duncan Ferguson anecdote. Here it is - https://www.nutmegmagazine.co.uk/issue-11/jousting-with-jim/
