    Stockport County 1 Boreham Wood 1 Should really have won this, so much on top in the 2nd half especially

    and well done Southampton

      I don't actually follow soccer that much, but it strikes me, as I read the messages on this thread, that as a rule supporters of less 'fashionable' clubs (i.e. not the Premier League Big Boys) seem to be decidedly more cheerful and resilient. I must confess to having something of a soft spot for poor old Fort William in the Scottish Highland League.

          Mixed feelings about Newcastle. I generally wish them well - it was my local team when I was a student, but like most Palace fans I am happy when Brucey does badly and its obviously a matter of pure pragmatism and self-preservation to hope that teams below us in the league don't accumulate too many points.

              I heard he fancies a bigger challenge a bit closer to his Merseyside home

                You mean his year in the Championship with the Toon he fancies managing in the lower divisions?

                  United made hard work of that against the struggling liverpool. Sam the man next. West Ham will be a stiffer challenge.

                    Thought it might have been an All Saints' Final, but not to be, so the Spice Girls will have to do instead for less than ferior fare!

                      Bad luck JC. Always tough to lose a semi.

                      We should know.........

                      Onwards and upwards though.

                            Result about what I expected, jc, we’ve a threadbare squad without injuries and covid - Everton put out a strong side and our youngsters at the back did well. Wildsmith, our keeper, the busiest on the field with 33 shots on goal! We’ve a job for Lampard if Stockport don’t snap him up first!

                                Word on the pit streets is that Ashley won’t sack cloughers’ lad as the Arab deal is nearly done and he doesn’t want to pay the pay off ....
