Norwich City in League One... oh dear


Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha


Lisbie, on loan from us, gets two.


After the 4th goal went in, 2 budgies fans ran over to the dug out and threw their season tickets at Bryan Gunn


You know how some people say that you want your rival team to be strong, so there's real competition....that's rubbish


I'll still be laughing when Norwich are playing the Hamlet

Strong start for Cardiff racing to top of the table - as I said some time ago I expect them to get automatic promotion this season.



I have backed Cardiff Matt and also Ipswich.


I have backed Colchester too - no team that scores 7 goals can bad surely. And there is a Celtic angle with Paul Lambert (European Cup Winner with BD) as manager.

The football league is definately more interesting than the prem although man city should shake things up. My picks for the championship are the clubs that have already been there for a season or two so its Ipswich, QPR, Cardiff, Sheff U and Forest as an outsider. Div 1 its those teams with budgets so Leeds, Huddersfield, Brighton(new owner), Norwich and Southampton with Millwall, MK and Charlton also in the mix i know i have named half the division there. Div 2 Notts County and Shrewsbury again because of superior finances and after that hopefully Rotherham because they have had some tough times so deserve a bit of luck now.

Crystal palace must feel a bit aggrieved, not that I have any sympathy for Warnock, though goodtip see Sears start well.

Is there any hope that video evidence can be introduced and these ridiculous poor refereeing decisions made a thing of the past?

Amazing that officials did not notice. Quite enjoy Mr Warnock's rants and would hate to think that we would lose them by introducing technology. Still, as the 'non goal' had the added benefit of upsetting Simon Jordan, it just goes to prove the theory about silver linings.

First home game of the season following the goalless draw at Folkestone.

Isthmian have a fancy new site at http://www.isthmian.co.uk


who needs all this champions league nonsense (nonsense will be displayed on big screen at the surprisingly cheap bar throughout of course)

The Championship is never easy to call but already this season is looking even closer - so many draws, still quite a few undefeated after 3 games. Barnsley have started badly though, and so have Ipswich - which is a bit of a surprise. Sheffield United's opening day point at Middlesbrough is looking increasingly valuable!

The BBC have announced that they'll be broadcasting the Boro vs Newcastle match live. Even as a Toon fan I have to say this is a bit much, surely some other teams should be getting a bit of exposure?


Looking forward to the Ipswich game on Saturday. Hopefully Roy's boys disastrous form will continue for a bit longer. It seems they were a lot of people's tips for promotion, but it currently looks like the only way they'll be leaving the Championship this year is via trap-door (I've probably just jinxed Newcastle big time).

Disastrous start to the season for us (ITFC) and all our worst fears about Keano confirmed - baffling team selection, selling some good players and falling out with others, and no apparent ability to motivate the team - just crap like "he'll never play for me again" etc.

They have a paper-thin squad though, a few more injuries and they may well start to plummet down the table.

I certainly am Ann. It's very rare to see such cameraderie amongst fans, nice to see some black and white shirts in amongst the home support. Can't imagine that happening at too many grounds around the country.


Indded a fine tribute to a fine man. I still can't belive that he was fired from the Newcastle job. If only those running Newcastle (past and present) were a patch on the Ipswich hierarchy of old, he would surely have died with Newcastle still a Premiership force.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
