The idea is to limp along until the end of the season, try and stay in the PL, and, I believe if they are 10 points clear of the drop zone decide whether Administration may be the best option. That could be a dangerous game to play - when Boston United realised knew they were going to be relegated ...

Absolute shocker in the Chelsea game too. Tarkowski gets the ball, ref gives pen, var don't overturn it 🤣 Not sure which of the incidents the penalty was actually awarded for, but don't look at Tarkowski's feet, look at his arm - he follows with a big push, might even have been in the face. In wres...

Loose aerial ball, him and Alvarez went for it, looked like he fell hard on his neck as didn't have his hands down to break his fall, might have got knocked out mid collision and not been conscious to get his hands down, not good at all. Everyone stopped and immediately got medical attention on. He...

Wasn't his head raised by one of our players? I haven't rewatched it, but that's what worried me. If he had a neck injury my understanding is that his head shouldn't get touched. I'm probably way off base on all points because I am completely unqualified to say or judge anything, understanding that...

There's a clip on twitter of the earthy fall, not going to post it in here but it makes for pretty bad viewing, fingers crossed it's just a concussion but he went down hard after the collision and his arms went up after he went down in an involuntary fashion.. Horrible viewing. Haven't seen that cl...

He didn't get the wrong player - Lukic niggled him, left a foot in and scored little kicks on him the whole game.

Based on that performance you would snap him up and Muniz but we all know playing well against us is not a good benchmark of future quality Pereira was pretty lucky not to be sent off yesterday. Could have had a straight red for his high follow through on Paqueta - a few minutes later he pulled Sou...

the one that takes the biscuit for me is Ben Johnson, he comes on and we lose all impetus down the right, He hangs so far back. If we are not in Europe I don't think the club home grown thing matters and the kids coming through have got to be better than him. You can only have a maximum of 17 non-&...

the best team of theirs I've seen was David pleats side of 86/87 . Is that you Billy? Bonzo signed half that squad - Clive Allen and Mitchell Thomas were first-choice starters, plus Chris Hughton, Tony Parks, and John Moncur. 'Arry added Neil Ruddock, and he and Moncur were in our highest-ever fini...

Earthy got a helping push into Alvarez's path by Wilson.

I've never seen a football match where you win or draw from your own 16 yard box. In this day and age of football, you're bound to lose. And we deserved to lose because we didn't put anything into the game to even come close to winning. Or do you win football matches by losing? As with the first le...

That's aged well

Surely we're not still paying him?!
Maybe that's where the Rice money is going.

Newton Heath aka Manchester United. Not sure if they wore them in the professional era though.

And Aldershot.

They did. Good knowledge mate. Bradford City played Bradford PA in a friendly last year. I used to watch quite a lot of Alliance Premier and Conference football before I left England. I've always had a thing for football kits (probably stemmming from those league ladders that came with Shoot magasi...

Are there really more clubs than Luton with dark blue, orange and white colour combination. If so, why? They could have chosen literally all other combinations Luton didn't start wearing orange until the 70s. The orange hasn't been ever-present since then either - most of the 90s and 00s it was a m...

Ah I wasn't associating white with Plymouth for some reason.
Bradford Park Avenue also wore green and white.

Thanks, WestHamLyallStyle. Short but enjoyable none-the-less. My revised guess was going to be Forest Green Rovers as they have played in that bright dayglo green (I think officially called Lime Green) since they have been in the Football League (though not their original colours - not sure when the...
