I sort of agree about not bringing Shaun Pearson back, we should move on, but imo we should never have let him go in the first place and we've not had a better centre half since he left.

Back on topic.
If Eastleigh go up, I believe they would be the first club to be promoted despite having a negative goal difference.  

Unless you statto’s out there know different 🤔


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Didn't Huddersfield have a negative goal difference the year they were promoted to The Premier League?

Yep -2, worst in the top half of the table I think it was. I remember the Championship playoffs being incredibly dull that season.

All the contenders are proper Non-League clubs who have been funded way, way above their correct level by a sugardaddy. See also FGR for a further example.

Rushden & Diamonds and Gretna show where clubs in this sort of situation often tend to end up.

I'd imagine that Salford City have more of a chance of keeping things going as the costs of running a smallish League club at a regular loss would be small change for the owners.

Quoted from Bigdog


Gonna be unpopular here. Too much sentimentality blurs the judgement. Great bloke, been a good all round servant to the club off the pitch and remembered for his best games on the pitch and not his worst. His character deserves those memories, but definitely no better than we've got already, not left footed to balance up the back line and wouldn't add any pace, so what would be the point? A backward or sideways step when we need to move forward..


I would take Pearson over any of Davis, Whitmore and Collins.  Ohman is still an unknown, he's dominant in the air but a complete liability on the floor.  

Pearson looked absolute class when Bignot used him in the middle of a back three.  It was only when he tried to shoehorn Gavin bloody Gunning into the middle of the back 3 when Pearson was moved.  

He isn't coming back, sadly.  But he should never have been allowed to leave.  But hey, Nathan Clarke and Karleigh Osborne did ok didn't they?

Oh, I've got the crosses turned off but I'm guessing it scored a few red ones.

Ah well...
