Darlo Uncovered

Looks likely to be a Blackburn player by the end of the week, they have upped their offer for him. Not sure of the goalkeeper situation at Blackburn but I am sure he will provide competition/ cover for them at a very reasonable price. It was reported that Boro had turned down an initial offer of £2...

I don't like The Arena, I never did do - but in a strange way I'm looking forward to this temporary change, because for once I will be able to get a bit of height and see the game from a better viewpoint.

This is where I am tbh, actually looking forward to going back on a temporary basis

If this applies in our league then there will no longer be an excuse for not having a goal keeper on the bench - one of my pet hates!

Same here! But I hope the league don’t go with it tbh

Last season’s players we’re still waiting on: Laing, Storey, Galbraith, Watson, Liddle, Holness, Atkinson, Campbell, Reid, Wheatley. Could also include Lucas Bell, although he played very little part for the first team. If the bulk of those first 10 senior players sign, we probably only need two or...

Finished 11th in league let’s sign them all back on

And you’ve signed one of our bench players (no disrespect Thommo) on more money!
How that work.....

The good news keeps coming, anyone know the length of these contracts?

PL bottled it & leaving everything to someone else to make a decision. Pathetic. Stop being a twat. What decision do you want them to make? No one knows when this pandemic will end and restrictions will be lifted. So what exactly do you want? And who is this ‘someone else’. Spot on btw Gramps! Its ...

Back on subject, I notice Rugby Union has managed to sort out their leagues in a sensible manner. Although I accept their’s were easier to come to a conclusion that satisfied most. You say that, but Ealing who are 2nd in Championship are seeking legal advice with a view to proceedings because they ...

Spot on Sunday lunches though loid, I miss them.

So true plus the Corner Bar, I had some good days and evenings in there; the Arena wasn’t all negative!

Sorry, I’ve never encountered Mister e before; is he having a laugh?

After 30+ games the league table does not lie and is as good an indication of teams ability as you could hope to have in these circumstances. If only a small number of games had been played it would be much less so. PPG would be the fairest way to decide things rather than voiding the season I beli...

It’s also why I said 12 clubs have integrity. Based on his comment on social media I don't think FC United have challenged it. Neil Reynolds perspective, and they were second on PPG, was that there are more important things and they will reorganise for the new season. To say clubs who haven't chall...

Whilst in a perfect world the season would be picked up from where it has been paused, the contractual situation of players, staff, insurance and sponsors, etc, make it impossible to continue beyond the regular end of the season. With so much of the season played, I would have preferred to see a PP...

I think this thread is quite a measured view on why even PPG isn't perfect. Also seems to suggest 45/60 clubs who signed the letter would be promoted under PPG - not really a surprise they think it is unfair. https://twitter.com/DaleJohnsonESPN/status/1244972439957889026?s=19 I think it was always ...

I don't think voiding the season is the easy option - I just think, from what I've seen and read anyway, it's the most realistically workable solution.

You’ve just used more words to describe ‘easy’!

There are teams in relegation spots who have hit form and with every chance of getting out of trouble who would just be relegated under PPG despite their efforts in battling back. Equally you've got a side like King's Lynn who would be promoted under PPG whose form over the last 6 games had collaps...

"I'm alright Jack Grealish attitude" - I see he's made a right tit of himself!

Again! I’m not a fan at the best of times tbh

Agree with Gramps would have decided promotion and relegation on a PPG basis which would have been the fairest way with the majority of the season completed. It would have been transparent and provided a clear resolution to the current situation. Under such a scheme Barrow would be promoted to the ...

Where the fa have slipped up is doing things back to front they should have blocked relegation and promoted the top two clubs where possible throughout the pyramid many leagues would have started with extra teams next season admittedly. But therefore clubs have increased revenue from the two extra ...

Considering next season could well be affected too then its my view that this season should be concluded properly when appropriate. The FA, if they have the power to void things, also have the power to ban all transfers of players between clubs until the season is concluded, even if the contracts a...

Yes it does at this present time,

The season was suspended! How does voiding the season now save lives?
Give him common sense......
