Darlington 0 v Curzon Ashton 2

Crap. Play offs over. Imploded. Total head loss. Sigh. Top at Xmas.......................

I genuinely think that the game we've just seen between Arsenal and Southampton is the best game of the season so far

 

[cockneyviking]

Good point for Southampton, hoping I get my perfect scenario of Forest, Leeds and Leicester getting relegated. UTR

 

[Jimini]

Nah, let's see Wet Spam take a late tumble as well

 

[Cowley]

Nah, let's see Wet Spam take a late tumble as well

And Everton. Surely they’ve got to get relegated at some point!

Not happy about Arsenal bottling the title worse than Kevin Keegan's Newcastle back in the day.

It’s so hard keeping ahead of City though isn’t it? They just seem to get stronger at the end of each season and it’s a nightmare having them breathing down your neck…

Everton seem to be invincible from relegation no matter how terrible they are. What's the opposite of an Indian curse? That's what they have.

 

[REVUpminster]

If West Ham and Nottingham Forest survive does that vindicate not sacking the manager?

 

[VauxhallandI]

I’m in the Royal Box at Wembley today, I’m not expecting any Royals but if you see a tall bloke fall down the stairs that’ll be me

Forest will defo go down. I'm a Leicester fan and I think we should just stay in the league!! Hopefully.....

Finally Bury AFC's final game, 60 games after we started. Punishing schedule for professional players, even more so for part timers and amateurs with jobs to attend to. Will we still be Bury AFC next season, or just boring old Bury FC? But back at Gigg?? So for now it's thanks for the memories as a new chapter emerges, probably same story different book (debt, administration, liquidation...). there just aren't enough Saudi billionaires to go round.

Too big to go down, as they say. But it will happen some time.

 

[SuspectUsual]

In a perfect world, of those at the bottom end of the table, I’d have Everton and West Ham go down with their arrogant, entitled fans, and Leeds, because they’re Leeds.

Consistently stinking the place out for decades.

You are never too big to go down as both of the Manchester clubs found out quite a few years ago.

If Citeh win it this time, they'll almost certainly win it next time (unless Haaland decides to become a "galactico")... which means our record which has stood for 97 years will fall.

Very unfair on Liverpool who rely on the almost guaranteed six points from Everton these days.

This is brilliant

Nice.

Well that's Vincent Kompany off Neil Warnock's Christmas card list.

Boreham Wood's score in 43 seconds which for a while threatened Wrexham's promotion party today set me thinking about fastest goals.

I can offer 2 contenders:
John Hewitt after 9.7 seconds for Aberdeen away to Motherwell in the 1982 Scottish Cup - which proved to be the only goal of the game.
and
Also for Aberdeen, Adam Rooney after 12 seconds in the 2017 semi-final v Hibs, in many ways more impressive as Hibs had actually kicked off, lost possession then briefly won possession back before Rooney picked up a loose pass and scored from 18 yards - fairly unusual for him as most of his goals were scored from closer to goal - whereas for Hewitt, the only Motherwell player to touch the ball was the one whose mis-control played the ball into his path.

What are the quickest goals others have seen at a match they attended (matches watched on TV do not count)?
Any offers?

I like how we aren't marvelling at Wrexham's amazing run and we are instead talking about the fastest goals ever seen.

Duk - 16 seconds for Aberdeen against Kilmarnock a fortnight ago.

 

[High Dyke]

A 0-0 draw between Grantham Town and Ossett United ensured safety for both clubs at the lower end of the Northern Premier League (East) division. Carlton Town and Lincoln United will have to take their chances in relegation play-offs.

In what way is what Wrexham have done “amazing”?

 

[150249]

No reason, just pointing it out

In what way is what Wrexham have done “amazing”?

Let's not forget that Wrexham and Notts County have both broken the National League points record.

Jon Worthington 25 seconds for Halifax against Gloucester

Correct. Now compare and contrast how they’ve done it

Much more impressive for Notts County than for the millionaire's plaything that is Wrexham.
