    Not that I'm scared of Brentford, but this season's points total doesn't have any immediate bearing on next season. Sure, we got a bit of a head start in terms of transfers, but Brentford are canny ****ers, they'll pull some good signings out of the bag

    Although one potential advantage we have are some of the markets that Brentford know really well and have had a good amount of success from (Denmark + Ligue 2) are now basically closed to them with the new work permit rules.

    Surely those paths aren't completely closed to them, if they're youth internationals or if they are doing particularly well in one of those leagues, and besides, with Prem money, there won't be so much of an emphasis on rough diamonds when they can get something closer to the finished product

    How is it trolling? Have you seen our line up of strikers? (as things stand)

    Plenty of premier league experience there.

    Teams reliant on a main striker who gets injured is in trouble.
    We spread the load, they don’t know where the next goal is coming from!

    Neither do I.

    I'd far rather have one main striker than having no strikers.

    England 2 Wales 0 in the play-off finals this season. Unlucky, boyos.

    All 3 teams that came just outside automatic spots promoted

    1st time since 2008.

    Newport probably wish there was VAR or just a better ref !

    Good spot!

    I thought the pen that was given was a tight call, but Newport should deffo have had one in the first half for the double-fisted punch to the head! Bobby Madley is bloody useless.

    TBF read it elsewhere!

    Yes - Newport will be pig sick.

    I didn't think it was a tight call, it was never a penalty. Poor decision.

    Nice swan dive into the area....

    They even do it at that level.

    That game should mark the end of the English football season but there are still National League play-off games to be played, with the semis and final at the same time as the Euros! Obviously it's due to the fact that the NL season started in October but why didn't they start their season the same time as the rest of us?

    I think they wanted to start as late as possible to get fans in to keep the clubs afloat, but obviously that didn't come to pass for most of the season. I don't know if any non-league clubs have gone to the wall this season (apart from Macclesfield who went **** up before the season started), but obviously Dover didn't finish the season once it was announced there'd be no relegation

    Yep, the final's on the 20th June. Long way off yet!

    There's one silver lining of Wrexham yet again failing to make the play-offs - their fans are guaranteed not to miss what could be a crunch game that day when Wales play Italy!

    I imagine Deadpool's probably not that happy about it though. He's already sacked their manager.

    Big dog main striker is back, free from injury (?) next season and he’s only one year older.
    All is well.

    No matter if he’s free from injury. He’ll still play for us if injured and unfit, he's that committed and that important.

    Depends which local man, in fairness. Here in this locality, I'm extremely amused.

    The irony of Bournemouth fans telling him not to bite on social media after our club trolled him is pure ironic bantz gold

    “....Unlikely to have intentionally bitten Mr Windass....”.
    Just another of those “accidental bitings” then ?
    Or perhaps he was intending to bite a different player ?

    Amazing how a harmless bit of crap PR can backfire massively. The ‘Local man is...’ tag will follow him around forever now but not in the way it was originally intended.

    I see that those loveable Cherries have also latched on to the Commission's description of the victim in this case;
    "Mr Windass – who is described as an ‘unappealing witness’." Presumably Lerma had told his Commission interrogators that poor old Josh W was bit gristly and had a rather unfortunate aftertaste of Yorkshire pudding, not so pleasant for his Colombian palate perhaps?

    If AFCB want to launch an appeal perhaps they could ask Swansea's Steve Cooper to get involved as an independent examiner. I'm certain he'd be very happy to get his teeth into this subject...

    it’s hilarious .

    The joint best defence in Championship history and the best in the four English divisions 20/21 and not a single defender gets in .

    They must have voted for it in December or something - didn’t Henry get injured in February?
