    Season preview-where will we finish?

    https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/aug/02/league-one-2017-18-season-preview See The Guardian just about fancy us to be in the play off mix.Could be worse though.IIRC, they reckoned we'd go down last season.. See MK is one of their men to watch:- Michael Kightly (Southend) Kightly’s...

    Ireland and Afghanistan now full ICC members

    Which means they have both been granted Test status. Good news. Best of luck to both of them, apart from when they are playing England! I assume Ireland's Test matches will be part of a 'British Isles Tour' whenever teams are coming over to play us. Would Afghanistan play at home, or in the...

  3. England

    What a cracking game against the Argies this evening. It had more twists and turns than a roller-coaster! Eddie Jones has been a revelation since taking over our national side. We're looking much stronger than the British Lions at the moment.
  4. Shrimpers are Magic

    Do we arm all police officers?

    In light of yesterdays murders by Islamist terrorists, are we as a society ready to see police officers firearm trained as standard? I appreciate the speed that armed officers got to scene but you have to put that down to location - if an attack had happened in say Ealing or Barnet then I don't...

    Was this season a success?

    It's been a real rollercoaster of a season and certainly been entertaining enough. A shame that it came to an end in this way, but could certainly have been worse after the first month/6 weeks of the season. Back in July, 18% said we'd make the play-offs, 32% were correct with top half and 21%...

    If Bolton are wound up would that mean no promotion for them? If so would we get promotion/ playoffs even if we finish 7th

    So, where will we end up this season?

    We have seven games of the FL1 season left and we appear to be in very reasonable form, so maybe its time to test the optimism/cynicism barometer on here. simple really, just vote for where you think we will finish pre play-off games. I've left the poll open for 10 days to take account of the...

    By Saturday the 16th

    Huge week coming up. My gut feeling is that we are not strong enough to finish top 6. We were always chasing after a poor start to the season. Having got into that top 6 we have put in two poor performances against mediocre teams have seen us drop away. We then face 3 tricky games. This...

  14. Proposed Football Rule Changes

    When I first saw this on social media yesterday, I thought it was another piece of "Fake News", but perhaps it's not. The main stream media (newspapers and Sky Sports News etc) seem to be following the story. Have Fifa & Marco Van Basten completely lost the plot? or do you welcome these...

    The Spanish media are reporting that Messi is refusing to sign a new contract for Barça and is offering his services to Pep Guardiola's Man Cty. Interesting.

    National Heath Service

    The British Red Cross have been deployed to 100+ hospitals to assist with day to day tasks that the NHS can't cope with. They have called this a 'humanitarian crisis' and have said 'we call on the UK government to allocate immediate funding to stabilise the current system and set out plans...
