    Fleetwood are big in the UAE - interesting article

    Full article below - although I'm concerned Will Watt thinks that their biggest rivals are Bolton and....... Derby 🙄 Despite relegation to England’s fourth tier, Cod Army have cast net to be like ‘City Football Group but on a much smaller scale’ Fleetwood United’s celebrations on becoming...

    England u17 Squad 2017

    Apologies if this has been posted already. But there are some decent players in this squad and surprising how many have played in tangerine.

    Today was a glimpse into next season

    I've not known Bloomers so quiet for such a long time. Awful football, a complete lack of creativity and inability to pass the ball to another tangerine shirt. Aside from the last 25 minutes when Dembele came on, we were treated to insipid football devoid of any meaningful chances. Wycombe...

    Hayden Coulson

    Must admit I've been largely underwhelmed by the lad. However tonight he was absolutely superb both defending and getting forward, great engine and must be nearing full fitness. All the defence played well, but Ollie Casey is a massively underrated footballer. He's never put a foot wrong in a...

    Critch - you stubborn intransigent prick

    His adherence to playing 5 across the back has cost us massively this season. When Lyons went off, with no other defenders on the bench (aside from Husband who I presume isn't fit), why not go to 4 at the back rather than sticking a square block in a round hole in bringing Virtue on at right...

    Plan A

    Never mind plans B and C, two thirds of the season in and I still have no idea what our identity is or how Critchley thinks we can win matches (especially away from home). They say teams reflect their coaches mentality and we do in spades - clueless, toothless and completely devoid of personality.

    Colby Bishop

    Okay he might not be the crock we thought he was.... but he still didn't have the energy to climb out of Marvin's pocket.

    Critch on team selection for Saturday

    He said: “You know me well enough to know that just because we won 4-0 last week doesn’t mean I’m automatically going to roll out the same team the following week. We pick a team that we think is the right one to take to the field to counteract Portsmouth’s strengths and weaknesses". Just a...

    O/T the spirit of cricket is dead

    During the Bangladesh v Sri Lanka game today, Angelo Mathews came out to bat following the fall of a wicket. He was getting ready to face his first delivery and adjusted his helmet and the chin strap broke. He asked for a new helmet and during the time he was waiting for a new lid the...

    King Kenny

    Thought he was absolutely superb today and his hard work and energy almost gained us an unlikely point. I thought Pennington was great at right back as well especially going forward. No doubt he will be dropped for Connoly next week.

    Bayern v Leverkusen

    On Sky sports mix now. Kane has scored but now one all. Bayer are coached by Xabi Alonso - would be a good shout for the next Liverpool manager.

    Appleton v Critchley

    Aside from the fact Critch is more amiable, in terms of tactics, performances and results there seems to be very little to differentiate between last season and this. I find this style of football incredibly boring to watch (pass, pass hoof) and coupled with the fact it's not even effective -...

    Tactical genius

    Play 5 across the back against the mighty Port Vale who come to Bloomfield Road brimming with confidence. Knock it across the back for 5 minutes and hope Ekpiteta falls asleep to give the opposition false expectation. Then get bored and hoof the ball long to a 5ft centre forward stood on his...

    O/T Matt Parkinson

    Joining Kent on a 3 year contract at the end of the season. Seems strange just how far he's dropped out of favour at Lancashire.

    Lancs v Warwickshire

    T20 on YouTube now but without commentary. Lancs 10/1

    Europa Conference league

    Well done to West Ham for getting to the final - I think realistically it's on a par with our LDV appearances when we owned the competition. But ultimately a long way less prestigious than the Anglo Italian cup when we beat the cream of Italian football (Lanerossi Vicenza aside) 👍

    Morgan Rogers

    Absolutely superb today. I've not been his biggest fan but he was so composed and skillful and worked his socks off.

    Please don't pick Carey

    He must be superb in training as he seems to be get the nod over much more talented midfielders every week. But whilst his work rate cannot be questioned, my heart sinks every time he is picked because he's simply not good enough.

    Maxwell

    After all the criticism this week, he made a couple of world class saves to keep us in it. His distribution was still sadly lacking but man of the match by a country mile today - with special mention to all the defence who were superb to a man.
