I do believe the proof of that particular pudding will be in the eating.

What you have to remember is that these two clubs are part of the three who seem to lord it over La Liga and there is the feeder link for South American players who always see La Liga as a natural move to Europe.

My point was that the "big fish" rarely face the full fallout from rule breaches - just look at sides in the Championship who have breached the financial fair play regulations. A transfer embargo for overspending is pretty much the definition of shutting the stable door when the horse is already in the next county!

In other news, August's winners of the Manager of the Month awards have been announced. Huddersfield head-coach David Wagner takes the 2nd tier award, with Phil Parkinson of Bolton getting the 3rd and Jim Bentley (Morecambe) taking the 4th.

No such thing as a manager of the month "curse" today...

Only goalless draw in top four division (so far) came at Boundary Park.

Oldham 0-0 Chesterfield

This is third time in four home matches (in league) that Oldham game finishes goalless, as for match is sound like dull game and sound like Chesterfield should had penalty in first half where one of our players handed ball inside penalty area but ref give free kick on edge of box.

Just about the only one I got right on my accumulator... well, that and AFC Bournemouth winning.

Good results for both of my teams today, a 2-1 win for Sheffield Wednesday and a 4-1 win for Liverpool.

Winchester City 0...Hereford 2 (Symons 14, Ford og 25, Mills m/pen 55) att. 482

Hereford showed why they are favourites for the title as they notched up their seventh win in seven. City had the first chance after 30 seconds but Hereford were by far the better side and Symons tapped in after 14 minutes before Jamie Ford turned a cross into his own net. Hereford were dominant and only Lewis Noice kept them in the match. In the second half Hereford were awarded a penalty but Noice saved it. City did have some chances but the final ball was lacking and Hereford saw out another win.

Hyde United are at home to Lancaster City in a league match this Saturday, if that is any sort of benchmark to go on.

Hyde United 1...Lancaster City 2.

Oh dear, banana skin syndrome at Ewen Fields.

Another obscure team Dover Athletic beat Forest Green in a 4-3 thriller that was shown live on BT Sport.

Unfortunately it was on at the same time as the Manchester and Glasgow derbies, so no-one probably watched it.

Two non-obscure names play each other this week, in the National League North Division.

Lukaku ended his 1139 minute goal drought with an 11 minute hat trick. Looks like Sunderland are putting the wheels in motion for their annual post Christmas great escape, round 5?

After taking a few games to adapt to the championship and its style, Rafa's Newcastle is looking unstoppable. 6-0 win away to a QPR team who started the day in the top 6. 6 wins in a row now for Newcastle.
To me this shows us Rafas true ability to take on a completely different league and in such style.

 

[61653 HTAFC]

If anyone had offered a first defeat after SEVEN games before the season started, I'd have taken it... but it still stings a bit, especially when we've gifted them the goal!

Still below us, for now...

Hopefully QPR will still be shell-shocked on Saturday!

Yet another loss, League One looms. #VenkysOut.

If you lose to Leeds it should be setting those alarm bells off, they were atrocious on Saturday. Think your game tonight was the first "relegation six-pointer" of the season...

The alarm bells have been ringing for years. We're doomed, we won't even exist as a club in 5 years time. As for this year, we'll be relegated by March.

Your lot are doing quite well this season, will be going to Huddersfield away again this season - hopefully you aren't as good then!

This was one of the games I wanted to get to but a mid week clash means i cant attend. It will be Darlo Fans Radio for me tonight

( we do our own fan funded and led radio and TV coverage - and very good it is to!)

Barcelona 7 (yes seven ) Celtic 0 in the Champions League - puts that little local 5-1 thrashing of Rangers into perspective.

Celtic missed a penalty at 1-0.

I believe it should be, in true vidiprinter style, presented as: Barcelona 7 (S.E.V.E.N.) Celtic 0

 

[Clip]

Seems like the fat spanish waiter is coming good and our team with its new players are bedding in well together.

To score 6 away from home is an achievement

 

[Kite159]

Wins for both Man City & Leicester tonight (4-0 & 0-3)

Meanwhile at Wembley, Spuds are losing

 

[scott118]

Vardy - no bandage.

 

[DarloRich]

Bradford PA 1 - Darlo 2 - We laboured to a victory with an injury hit team and a debutante keeper on loan from Newcastle.

What a great team is Manchester United!

While Feyenoord's 1-0 win over Yanited was good it wasn't the best 1-0 win ever in the De Kuip stadium. 26th May 1982

Yep. But still doesn't alter the fact it happened!

 

[familyguy99]

No surprise result as Ricoh Arena.

Coventry 0-0 Oldham

This had nil nil write over it before kickoff given only been seven goals between them this season, this was oldham four clean sheet in eight league matches this season, if we can start scoring goal we may have chance of finishes in top half of table come end of season.

 

[Drogba11CFC]

Winchester City 4...Truro City 0 (Feeney 21, 38, Briggs 28, Neighbour 67) Att: 210

Excellent win. Truro were dire from start to finish and City took full advantage. We wait 59 years to reach the 3rd qualifying round and then do it twice in three years.

 

[61653 HTAFC]

I'm a very happy Terrier tonight... it can't possibly last, or can it?

Nice of Channel 5 to show a whole 20 seconds of action and no manager interviews. Come back Claridge, all is forgiven :roll:

 

[DarloRich]

knocked out of the FA cup losing 2-1 at Lancaster - a bit of non league giant killing there gary. ffs.

I misread that as 7-0 to Celtic.
