The Round Ball Game - II

[teamsaint]

Does Nottingham Forest's 12-0 win over versus Leicester City (then 'Fosse') in 1909 count as a derby?

Slipped my mind, that one.

Closest history of results at the top, you’ll see the most one sided fixture at the bottom.
No real surprise.......

I seem to have misunderstood your question somewhat - and I should perhaps have guessed that there was a South Coast connection!
I suspect that Ipswich's impressive supremacy rating reflects the pattern of results a good many years ago, as their recent record against Norwich is pretty dire. Their last win was at Portman Road in 2009.

Today’s result puts our deficit at 8! Without the -12, would now be 3rd! There are 5 clubs with 0 points! Could be out of the bottom 3 by mid November at the latest! WAWAW. ts, you’ve been there working off a deficit - you’ve felt the pain!

Just thought I'd mention that the Tractor Boys are top of League 1 - let's hope they haven't peaked too soon.

I suppose theoretically they are 2 points above the Owls!

Deserved away win for Palace v lacklustre Man U with controversial penalty scenario. Especially sweet for man-of-match, Wilf Zaha.

National League doesn’t start until 3rd October
Expecting a good season for Stockport County

I’m assuming that Saints are on the same time line as the National League......

Despite our 100% League 1 record thus far, my expectations for the 2020/2021 season are well and truly screwed down. Play-offs if we're lucky.

No you’ll scrape automatic in 2nd place on goal difference.

After a small level of early optimism, the Buddies are back doing what they do best...losing!

I'm going to hedge my bets this season and support both Ipswich Town ('cos they're our nearest professional team) and Fort William ('cos we enjoyed our Lochs and Glens holiday based there*).

*In a hotel, although we did consider boosting the club's finances by paying a modest fee to camp on the pitch off-season.

I have the Argerich withe the Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana, but I am thinking seriously about the Jean-Efflam Bavouzet
