Rage Online

Season starts in 6 weeks. I know of at least one Oxford player who is taking a break in Spain (and that’s not Alex G, who I bet has headed home).

2 weeks at home, 6 weeks before the season starts. That’s a fucker.

Never (NEVER) have I been as grateful for a busy work day, as I have been today. Somehow I've managed to get it all done, and I'm about to go and to do the same thing I did for the other two games in the Play Offs: go for a long walk before the game to try and take my mind off it again. And then ope...

Oh balls. Tomorrow has become today, hasn’t it. Let’s hope when today’s tomorrow becomes today, I’ll not have a nervous smile on my face, but an actual one.

As well as a hangover.

I note he managed our game vs Wham. I missed that as I was on me holidays (getting text alerts while driving around Cape Cod) and our 0-0 vs Newcastle.

Just saying...

Fair points KY.

I thought the CB pairing were both excellent and I’d have chosen Moore over Dickie for MoM.

I hope we come out the blocks a little keener on Monday. And then hopefully Mosh and Mackie can renew their on pitch ‘relationship’ with the Beast, on the biggest of stages...

I’ve now had some time to digest what I saw yesterday. I still can’t get over how poor we were in the first 35 minutes. My initial issue was with how bad Long was, they targeted him out right that’s where they got they got their goal from. However, in retrospect my anger is absolutely at the feet of...

Do we have the all-clear for the Pompy game yet?

I’ve used this to get my free pass- thanks Ty!

My best mate, and my best man at my wedding, is a big Derby County fan. We met in 1999 at university, and haven’t seen each other’s teams play a competitive game against one another in that time. Sods law we get promoted, and neither of us get to go to the games!

3 players called up for internationals = team can postpone if they want, so will this apply with Covid?

I mean... so many points and questions, where do we start?! - how do I feel? Same as you: a bit happy, a bit deflated, a bit confused. My neighbour is a Coventry fan and I kinda feel for him, and his family. They just don’t know how to celebrate. Nice problem to have I guess... - personally I feel t...

I don’t think that’s the best option. Any option of finishing the season (with or without play offs) is NOT finishing the same competition that was started. There are a million complications (what would another club say if Ben Woodburn scored the winning goal for Us in a play off final? How much mor...
