I can't be bothered to do the leg work, but I'd have thought the exceptional majority of our squad were involved in elite academies as their first club.

It's not like you can turn a potential high level non league player in to the next Matt Jarvis, Nyron Nosworthy or Bradley Dack just by virtue of better coaching, you generally identify the kids with potential, and coach them to help them reach it. One of the pods recently (think Jamie Redknapp...

Couldn't agree more on this btw

Everyone will have their own experiences, however i expect the stats will bear out vastly in favour of premier league sides. Attendance wise, it's 19.2m non prem vs 15.3m prem in 22/23, however can you imagine how many extra millions of fans there are who sit on the sofa watching their team on...

Sadly, I don't think that's actually true

We got a tasty replay against Champions League semi finalists Leeds in the early 2000s, which was a great excuse during sixth form to get on the ciders midweek in Yorkshire if nothing else.

Awful news, never again will we have such backs to the wall jobs like Exeter managing to take Man United to a replay at the real St James' Park. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/4139315.stm

Sounds pretty funny and fair to me!

That sort of thing is quite common with takeovers - you buy out the previous owners and have a clause stating that they are required to remain working for a period of time post transfer. It has a number of objectives behind it, in successful companies, you'd want at least a few of the original...

The, I expect SC is "happy enough with" list is something like this Turner Ogie, Ehmer*, Masterson* Malone*, Hutton, Clark J Williams, Coleman, Dieng*, Lapslie* Hawkins*, Andrews, *out of contract in the summer Now, whether he likes any of the above enough to offer them a new deal will...

All this talk of letting people go or moving people on - we may have offers come in for people, but word is we're paying high wages for good players on long deals (JW for instance), so it's not exactly going to be an easy job. My issue with the slash and burn attitude is that you very seldom...

That's not really an issue mate - players generally follow the money as they've got a short career and need to make the most of it. The only time it doesn't really happen is when someone might be getting higher offers from the league below - you aren't gonna accept that on your way up the...

Agree with all of that mate. The "cherry picking" of stats that Matt used is basically NH's record from when BG turned up, and he actually had some money to spend and invest in his own side. His PPG this season alone, if extrapolated over a whole season (which may not have happened obvs) would...

Looking forward to that caveat Scally put in cashing out... always been good at that stuff

https://www.tortoisemedia.com/listen/eight-years-hard-labour/ There is a brilliant podcast series about how bad/mad/sad the Jeremy Corbyn period was. He truly was unelectable, and whilst he'd have been infinitely more competent than boris (1/10 is infinitely higher than 0/10), he would still...

Boris Johnson being quoted as saying to let them die to stop another lockdown was an interesting choice...

So it's just muslims that are the problem and not other races? Btw the Bromley non white percentage is 23% and Medway is 15%. Crime rate is 108/1000 in Med, and in Bromley Borough it's 68/1000. So perhaps race isn't really the issue.

Tell you what, Brad Galinson never misses an opportunity for an easy win on the old PR. Fair play to the man, and fair play to any Gills fans going to bloody Barrow on a Tuesday night
