Life was so much simpler in the days of a "brown envelope" stuffed with a "wad" at your local "footballer friendly" services.

Charlton 1-1 Oldham

Better performance for us then Swindon match and good point at The Valley knowing we could even won match if we did better in final third.

Burscough FC 1946 1-1 Droylsden

Droylsden look on course for first win in seven matches but Burscough scored in 93th mins to ditch Droylsden all three points.

Is the Gareth Southgate situation holding out for a certain Frenchman who refuses to break contracts who is (currently) going to be free at the end of the season?
After the November games the next internationals are March I think?

Late drama at St. James's Park, with Newcastle scoring twice late in stoppage time to beat Norwich City 4-3. This lifts the Mags to 3rd in the table, one point behind their opponents and 3 behind Huddersfield Town.

If Wenger decides to manage England I'll be astounded.

If Wenger decides to manage England I'll be astounded.

I'm astounded that he's kept his job at Arsenal despite a decade and more of under achievement.

 

[Darandio]

I'm astounded that he's kept his job at Arsenal despite a decade and more of under achievement.

Makes him and England a match made in heaven, surely?

 

[richw]

I'm astounded that he's kept his job at Arsenal despite a decade and more of under achievement.

Or some could say over achievement based on net transfer spend in that period against other teams if you were to say rank teams on spend

This was fantastic listening on the radio last night and trying to keep on via twitter. Proper heart in mouth stuff followed by sheer excitement in, Clips pants.

Indeed. He's not stupid.

 

[Kite159]

Indeed. He's not stupid.

But then again, he can look at it as having a good service at Arsenal and 'retire' from club management to country management with a healthy pay-deal

Not only has Sackie McNamara failed to win an away game yet. He has had a bad week in the press. On Monday it was revealed he missed training...... to pick up a 60k Audi in Edinburgh but today has been convicted of fare dodging from Edinburgh to York.

Can we just sack him please.

 

[SS4]

Once again, the media when not making totally unrealistic statements about the chances of the England team actually winning anything of note, now decide to use their resources into making the role of England manager a poisoned chalice that no one in their right mind would likely to accept.

Perhaps the media could nominate one of their own as England manager....

I would love to see that. They always think that they know so much more than the actual people in charge. The squad would be poorer because they only have knowledge of around half a dozen teams

Oldham 0-2 MK Dons

Sound like poor performance from us where MK could have won the game by couple of more goals.

We now bottom of League one after Coventry pick up there first victory and I have to say I can't see Oldham move off there anytime soon.

Evo Stik First Division North

Hyde United 2...Trafford 2

Hyde let a 1-0 and 2-1 lead go begging and had to settle for a home draw that sees them in 15th position.

 

[RichmondCommu]

Heading back from Reading and I'm bloody annoyed! Why oh why can't we see games out??

 

[61653 HTAFC]

Ipswich Town 0 - 1 Huddersfield Town

Another win by a single goal, with Chris Schindler's second half header being the first goal at Portman Road in 3 games, and makes him the 10th different scorer for Town. Now 3 points clear at the top, though if Norwich win their game they'll narrow that lead to 2.

 

[96tommy]

Lost 1-0 at home to Aldershot..... Getting embarrassing under Jackie now.

Meanwhile I decided to tick a ground off the 92 and visit the Valley. One time York legend Calvin Andrew got the only goal as Rochdale beat Charlton 1-0

 

[Drogba11CFC]

Harrow Borough 2...Winchester City 1 (Preddie 81, Meite 90+5; Neighbour pen 15) Att. 177

I don't know what's worse, being 10 minutes from the 4th qualifying round and losing at the death, the referee playing next goal wins after he should have blown for full time, or a bunch of gobby 12-year-olds giving it large throughout the second half.

Another fantastic win and we're not going away. My only complaint is the lack of goals we score. I really wish we'd give someone a right shoeing, I thought we might do it to Rotherham on Tuesday after we scored so early but we can't complain, we're top of the league and this kind of thing is unheard of down at Town.

Neutrals might well look at the scorelines and assume we're scraping narrow wins by being boring and defensive - they only need to come to a game to see how wide of the mark that is though!

I wonder how long it'll be before Di Matteo gets the sack? Wolves at home next which is somewhat of a derby

Get Steve Bruce in now ....

Southampton goalkeeper*Fraser Forster: "It is always tough to come here and play against the champions"

When was the last time he played against the reigning champions at that ground to know its always tough to play the champions here?

As an outsider looking in, I don't think the manager is the problem there...

I agree with you on that!

 

[61653 HTAFC]

I agree with you on that!

Jed Steer must be really annoyed that the club decided to splash out on that Italian clown you currently have between the sticks now, given his mostly brilliant performances on loan with us last season... gave us the foundation to launch our brilliant start to the season by helping keep us in the division!

Such now appears to be that wide spread of football at Manchester City these days, that when their Premiership team lose their unbeaten record this season, the women's side followed up the recent Women's Super League 1 title (41 points from a possible 45 and ten points clear of the runners-up) by winning the Continental Cup.

Not long!
