Despite my teams league ambitions drowning at Dens tonight, I did have to laugh when he announcer said the half time draw would take place at the shallow end.

Well you just kind of knew it'd go to penalties and City would then feck it up!

 

[Seevio]

Indeed. Silva tried a Panenka (sp?) and the goalie just stood there and caught it. Made him look proper daft.

The keepers penna was one of the best!

Only Villa left out of all the British clubs who were in Europe this season.
I was over the London Stadium last night and it really was a game of two halves.
We played really well first half and had LeverKusen rattled.After the Antonio goal we had a few more chances but just couldn't take them.
Second half we seemed to run out of steam due to dithering dave not wanting to bring on subs until the last five minutes.Xabi Alonso on the other hand brought on subs throughout the game which changed the game for them as they were the better team second half.

It's very petty of other English clubs to make an arse of things, probably costing someone a spot in the Champions League next season.

Outstanding result for Falkirk

Can't disagree with that. There are some really decent sides in League 1 and you've scooshed it, hopefully not switch off and keep it invincible.

Looks like it will be Sutton joining Forest Green in the National League. Colchester only need three points from three games and tomorrow they have Notts invisible defence to score freely against.

One of my heroes growing up has sadly departed, Leighton James.

Rather worryingly not much older than me!!

Born in London but have spent most of my life in Essex so i do have a soft spot for the Essex clubs.Colchester utd,Southend utd and Dagenham and Redbridge.
Colchester should survive another season but they cannot keep flirting with relegation.Southend without the ten points deducted would have been in the play offs.

Albeit @potsy not at the expense of the famous Accrington ( who are they? ) Stanley, I hasten to add.

Well we took it as easy as we could on your lot @Accy cyclist.
Quite weird watching a game so relaxed knowing the job was already done, on to Wrexham for a Hollywood finale 😀

Apparently Colchester failed to turn up it any meaningful way today with a rare clear sheet for Notts so Sutton despite drawing today mathematically could stay up. Would say need Sutton to win 2-0 at MK Dons, which is pretty unlikely I would have thought but weirder things have happened, and Colchester to lose both their home games 3-0 to Doncaster and Crewe.

I admire your positivity but it ain't going to happen.

I wonder what odds a bookmaker would give you, if you fancied betting on it happening? 🤔
