Really pleased for Bromley - a proper club with 132 years of non-league history. I remember the owner being interviewed on BBC when we played there in the Cup and he was impressive. Good luck to them.

Can’t change system Really boring Incapable of game management Tedious Chooses the wrong players Has the wrong coaches Likes meaningless possession Every game’s the same Yawn

Thanks Matt. It’s been a horrible mediocre frustrating season but your blogs have been a consistent highlight. We are very lucky to have you to chronicle our ups and mostly downs. You are a fantastic writer.

To be honest I’m almost relieved this horrible season is over. Now’s the time for Sadler to make some big decisions.

“Once more unto the beach….”

Don’t worry I am sure the manager will react to that and change the syst…. Oh no, sorry, my mistake

Best Wembley FA Cup comeback since…..well, we all know the answer to that one

Forest issue statement saying 3 penalty decisions went against them against Everton today - because the VAR official Stuart Atwell is a Luton fan. They say they tried to get him taken off the fixture - and “we are now considering our options”

I don’t think they have confirmed 1230. Nor have they confirmed that all the games will be broadcast simultaneously - presumably they’ll get more viewers if they are shown at different times.

It means loads more EFL games live on Sky - but many fewer Saturday 3pm kick offs (which are not allowed to be televised live in UK). They haven’t given details of scheduling yet but it probably means more Sat 1230/1730 kick offs and maybe more Friday night/Sunday games.

Fun

Manager Mick McCarpy assisted by TC - he’ll get a tuna out of them

Great stuff and agreed about the Alf Ramsey book - it is fantastic

The people ripping off pensioners are those paupers Tottenham Hotspur

We were dreadful in Critchley’s first season before Dougall arrived. We’ve been pretty dreadful since he left. He’ll be remembered for the Wembley goals but his (often unsung) contribution over the past few years was so important - and without him we’re hopeless.
