POST-MATCH THREAD: Charlton Athletic v Wrexham: Saturday 28th February 2026: KO 15:00
A somewhat surprising starting eleven saw five changes, with Will Mannion come in for this season’s ever-present Thomas Kaminski (out with an apparent hamstring injury), whilst Luke Berry and Conor Coventry were given the nod over Conor Coady and Greg Docherty. Reece Burke comes in alongside Lloyd Jones and Harry Clarke,…

2025-26 CL Prediction League Week 28 Fixtures / Cup QF Replays
Week 27 produced the highest average score of the season so far in the Prediction League. Was it a case of look before you leap? Well, yes, you could argue it was, as last week was the first time in the history of the Prediction League that no one spelt a team's name wrongly or used some weird abbreviation like B'm C'y.…

2025-26 CL Prediction League Week 27 Results / Cup Qtr Final Results
Week 27 produced the highest scores of the season so far, coinciding with my decision to avoid all games with seemingly obvious scorelines. If you favour 2-1 home wins as the result of a football match, this was the week for you. Not only did all four Premier League games played on Sunday end 2-1, but four other games you…

Under 21s (Match updates and news)
On a personal level it is extremely disappointing that our Under 23's are seeking permission to play their matches at Beckenham Town this season.

Pubs, and the demise of.
Some of you may be aware that the Porcupine in Mottingham has closed down and been bought by Lidl. My personal view is that the place was a dump and would rather it became a Harvester or something along those lines but 1400 people have signed a petition calling for the pub to be saved. Have Pubs had their day or what?

Scrap The International Break
It has been common for many seasons now in the top two leagues that everytime there is a round of international qualifiers for either World Cup or Euros the seasons stop for two full weeks.

Five second rule for throw ins and goal kicks?
Proposed by IFAB according to Sky. I don’t like time wasting but five seconds for a throw in leaves no time for prep for a long throw / time for defenders to get forward. The penalty proposed is turnover of the throw and goal kick becomes a corner. Would keep the game moving but 8-10 seconds feels more realistic than 5.…
