  1. Never missed so many games in one season & adding tomorrow to the list as well. The miserable record we have against recently relegated sides is putting me off, coupled with the early kick off & how early I’d need to leave to park when it’s pretty much a sell out. I also mentioned this prior to Southampton, so here’s hoping we upset the odds again & give the fans something to cheer about but I’ll be watching it from the pub then off to watch some local stuff at 3. William Hill offering Evens on Leicester to score the first goal if anyone fancies a bet!
  2. Hopefully Posh can somehow make the autos and then whoever finishes in 6th. Ideally Stevenage. Two weaker sides that you’d imagine would go straight back down.
  3. Oxford players only ever got 3 days off during an international break when Manning was there. Expect it’ll be the same here. Did anyone ever look to see what our results were like after international breaks under Pearson? I don’t ever remember them being that bad whereas under Lee Johnson we seemed to lose every time.
  4. Who cares? They’re allowed to have a life outside of football. It’s their own free time.
  5. Yeah he’s still manager!
  6. Big win for Clevedon Town following Bridgwaters 4-1 loss. 1 point behind the league leaders but Helston do have two games in hand. Wonder how much the Bridgy chairman regrets getting rid of the previous gaffer now? They’re 10 points off Helston now!
  7. Couldn’t believe how bad Cribbs were tbh. That’s my first time watching them & I had heard they were a direct side but I didn’t think they’d be *that* direct. Every chance was basically from a long throw & their goal came from a flicked on goal kick. Manor Farm impressed me, I wasn’t expecting them to run away with it in the way they did.
  8. Glad to see Branthwaite in. Been good this season & will be in the squad for years to come. I think there’s only 5 or 6 spaces up for grabs this summer barring any new injuries or injury come back from Shaw. The 3 GK’s will be in Walker, Stones, Maguire, Chilwell Those 5 midfielders all get in Foden, Rashford, Saka, Kane, Watkins all guarantees. Leaves 6 from Gomez, Branthwaite, Konsa, Dunk, Trippier TAA, Phillips Palmer, Bowen, Toney, Gordon
  9. Went to watch Cribbs Reserves v Boco tonight. Great first half, 3 goals and a missed penalty from Cribbs. Boco won 2-1. I think Portishead will win the league, but anyone down to 8th in with a shout of play offs. Be good to have a couple more local sides in the Toolstation Prem next year & rid of 1 or 2 Devon based ones! Anyone have any idea if they’re looking to restructure the leagues at the end of this season or have talks failed again?
  10. Sam Curtis was wanted by a lot of good clubs in January, I’d argue he was the best player in Ireland with how many sides seemed to be interested. Sheffield United ended up getting him, he’s been on their bench a couple of times but not yet managed to make a first team appearance. I agree that it is weird that we’re yet to see Murphy even in an U23 game though.
  11. Wells is out of contract next summer, signed until summer 2025. I really don’t see either being a top target for any clubs that will pay them a wage close to what they’ll be getting now. If neither play at all next season, I can see us doing what we did with Martin & agreeing to mutual termination in January. But don’t see them going in the summer.
  12. Naismith & Wells will both be here next season under contract won’t they? Don’t see bids coming in for either.
  13. Conway being bullied by their 5. Proper mismatch physically. Overall it’s been really poor. Max will be under less pressure kicking from the Atyeo end in front of their fans!
  14. This thread kind of reminds me of this from 2018. That opening post I’ve linked to, is one of the most unforgettable posts I’ve seen on here & I think about it frequently. Tinnion was a ‘jobs for the boys’ back when being appointed as a manager, and he’s seems to be in a role above his station now.
  15. We’ve hired out one in Weston to get our game on in Somerset County Prem. Tried to get the GFA pitch last weekend but that was already booked, can’t believe you’ve had 50/60 calls though, that is mental. Don’t really know what the answer is, playing through summer wouldn’t be ideal because of everyone wanting to go on their holidays & of course the high 30 degs weather we’ve experienced lastc couple of years at times.
  16. Bit of a weird statement from Bridgwater when announcing their returning player.
  17. When was the last time prices were frozen?
  18. Yep you’re correct. Shows how much attention I usually pay at HT! Looking like no subs made. Big call after that half!
  19. No subs out warming up at HT so have to assume changes will be made.
  20. Anyone catch McCrorie berating Mehmeti for what I assume was not showing for the ball? Been far too narrow all half. Williams & Knight miles off it.

    South Stand

    Isn’t the Atyeo sold to away fans on an unreserved basis? We were told in S25/S26 a few years ago, that due to it being unreserved, the club have to leave 10% of those seats unsold. This is why a few years ago again, we were told this section is no longer unreserved & you should sit/stand in your allocated seat so the club were able to sell that extra 10% (people still go wherever, just unofficially)
  22. Wow I completely forgot it existed for a bit until reading this post. I’ve just had a look through and so many threads with little to no engagement. Quite a few in the low hundreds in terms of views. Its been a really bad move & should change back imo.
  23. Yeah I actually looked into it the other day because I could hardly remember any games where we’ve beaten a side that’s come down the previous year. Overall it’s not the worst, since promotion in 14/15 we’ve played 51 games against these sides, winning 12, drawing 12 & losing 27. At home we’ve won 6, drawn 11 and lost 7. It’s just the last few seasons where we seem to rarely pick up anything against them.
  24. I dread watching City play against sides that have been relegated from the PL the previous season. We’ve won 1 of the last 20 games against them. (W1, D5, L14) Hoping we can turn that around tomorrow, probably take a draw if offered to me now though.
  25. RIP Martin. Always enjoyed getting the friend request from his new Facebook he’d have to create every couple of months for winding people up on there! Sad to hear ‘Tommy’ finally got the better of him.
