"Off to Nottingham in half an hour to see my lot play Forest. Struggling to think now why I booked such an early train." Fingers crossed. I was at Old Trafford 2 weeks back...it's a long way home after a tanking. Seemed longer last Sunday... | |||

Yes if anything Shaw will be a bigger loss as we have tried 3-4 players this season at left back and let’s be honest none have convinced.When we have play Man City off the top of my head next week I think Foden or Silva on the right wing will have a field day against whoever we decide to play at left back Lindoff , Ambrat , Dalot , AWB it could be a 5-0 or more. | |||

"Hoping our new manager bounce will continue at Spurs, it'll be interesting to see how much confidence he's installed in us. I'll be very happy with a point! " Well, that went well....not! If matches lasted 75 mins we'd be in a European spot. I've lost count of the number of goals we've conceded in the last 15 mins. On a different note I took in Bromley v Halifax in the Conference. I love a bit of non league but a very scrappy match. At least Bromley won. | |||

"Getting back to the conversation with the grown ups, lovely little trip to Goodison Park for a very unexpected 3 points. Possibly our last ever trip there, if they get a further points deduction." Saw a motd interview with Sean Dyche last year. He said every manager loves a one nil. His brand of football is too safe to stay in the prem. If Everton do drop down, they'll be straight back up as the championship teams do one nil football worse. | |||

"Margate have got a fantastic female supporter that follows them away. She hardly shuts up for 90 minutes in her very loud support for them. One of the best supporters I’ve seen in action in non league. (I was going to say “come across”, then remembered what site I was on)." You often find non league fans are like that...... Saying that most clubs have one or two..... Like watching the reserves away on a Thursday night | |||

"What did I learn from tonight…. You get out of Sheffield a lot easier and quicker when most of the home fans are gone by half time! Just gotten home… that was a blast " Surprised you didn't leave with dem blades at half time ,, perhaps if you knew that the 2nd half was going to be Arsenal parking the bus in fear of a come back and only achieving a 1-0 2nd half victory against the bottom club with a lucky break away goal you would have done
As a neutral it is good to see a 3 horse race for The Title , I have always thought Manchester City but at the moment the top 3 are playing so well it really could go to final day with all 3 with a chance of being champions .
Anyway forget all that Premier League stuff , proppa footy tonight Barton v Goole North East Counties League "Premier" Division | |||

"Right… 11 games to go….. Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal….. Who wins the title….. Even as an arsenal fan.. I am glad we are the “under the radar” team at the moment! Liverpool and Arsenal both have Man City PTSD!!! We have played this dance before!!! City for me till otherwise prove" . Although Arsenal are under the radar at the moment the fact is if they beat Brentford tonight which I expect them to do and tomorrow Liverpool v Man City is a draw which they way both teams are playing is not impossible then Arsenal will be on the radar.Personal prediction from me Man City will beat Liverpool tomorrow and go on to win the Premier League | |||

To determine who gets what spots it’s done over a 5 year rolling period of how well teams from your country do.. how far they get in each competition ect ect…. Top 5 associations each get 4 champions league spots….England in the 5 year rolling average is ranked 1… yey!! Go the premier league!!!
Now.. an extra champion league place will be given out to the top 2 nations who teams do best specifically in the current (23/24) season season
At the moment England is currently ranked 3rd… behind Germany (2nd) and Italy (1st)
But because we have most teams still left into the moment there is a big chance we’re could overtake both of them… (if there is ever a good reason to root for West Ham against Freiburg that may be the only one!) | |||

"Sadly the new Champions League format has even less to do with 'Champions' than it previously did, and that was very little. Basically it's a fudge by EUFA to ensure that any big club that has failed to qualify gets in on the basis of its past record. It's all to nullify yet another threat of a breakaway super League but in my view yet another nail in the coffin of the modern game. I fondly remember the days when the actual Champions of each European country played each other in a knockout competition. " . I agree the new format is less to do with champions.As a young boy watching the European Cup final in 1978 Liverpool v Club Brugge 1979 Nottingham Forest v Malmo. I now can’t see a time where the champions of Belgium or Sweden will get to the knock out stages let alone a final.My ideal scenario would be to go back to what we had before where it was just the champions or if not that then champions and runners up only | |||

Sorry Fabio from what I’ve read on a UEFA website the top 8 of the 36 teams in the revamped Champions League go through to the round of 16 and the teams finishing 9-24 will have play off matches so that another 8 teams can join them in the round of 16.In a way it’s good in the sense it could give a team from a small European nation a chance to make the round of 16 on the flip side it will probably give a top European nation a 2nd chance to get another team into the round of 16.At the end of the day this is what has been agreed and as a football fan I hope it works out but ultimately it’s about keeping the big 3 European Leagues happy and money. | |||

"Sadly the new Champions League format has even less to do with 'Champions' than it previously did, and that was very little. Basically it's a fudge by EUFA to ensure that any big club that has failed to qualify gets in on the basis of it's past record. It's all to nullify yet another threat of a breakaway super League but in my view yet another nail in the coffin of the modern game.

"Good to see 3 teams genuinely contending for the Premiership at this stage of the season, although with 10 games still to go it is too early to call it.would prefer it to be Arsenal, have no issue with it being Citeh, dread the media love-in if it’s the Scousers. Anyway, anyone who is anyone knows that the real drama is about who finishes 7th and gets to enter the Europa Conference League (the only competition worth winning - unless we win the Europa League, which then becomes the other competition worth winning). . At the moment my team the Cockney Reds are looking at the Europa League whether it’s via our League position or winning the FA cup I don’t know.Apparently 5th maybe worth Champions League next season but I fear we have left our selves with too much to do to reel in Aston Villa or Tottenham The “5th champions league” spot is going to need some explanation … here is my shot at a TLDR version… Right… welcome to the world of the UEFA coefficient!! To determine who gets what spots it’s done over a 5 year rolling period of how well teams from your country do.. how far they get in each competition ect ect…. Top 5 associations each get 4 champions league spots….England in the 5 year rolling average is ranked 1… yey!! Go the premier league!!!
Now.. an extra champion league place will be given out to the top 2 nations who teams do best specifically in the current (23/24) season season
At the moment England is currently ranked 3rd… behind Germany (2nd) and Italy (1st)
But because we have most teams still left into the moment there is a big chance we’re could overtake both of them… (if there is ever a good reason to root for West Ham against Freiburg that may be the only one!)
Crikey , go much further down the table and Sheff United , Burnley & Luton will be in wit a shout
Listened to a bloke on Sky explain the new format for The Champions League , made me wish I had a better education , might have understood what he was saying , it certainly is going to be different "Anyway coefficient news… good news for England, and Germany… bad for Italy After the 16’s….. the 2 English and German teams advanced… the 3 Italian teams left in the top competition were all knocked out! | |||

" Don’t have to wait… if Liverpool have to go to Marseille for a a semi… and West Ham go to Italy for the other… there is going to be carnage the nights before the games…. " With the ICF’s links to Lazio, Roma would be murder (quite possibly, literally). Got to get past one of the best teams in Europe first and have to really hope that they are focused on winning the Bundesliga and losing that Neverkusen tag. Sad thing is, we were out there in August, so it’s not even a new ground for some of us. | |||
