Definitely joining us in the Championship next season. A new away ground for me. Is it a good away day (trivia fact, it is the highest ground in the English league)?
I had thought they would struggle next season, but they have shown a fighting spirit in recent weeks.
I realise every thread on this forum has to mention Wilder's future so..... will he go to West Brom and be their next manager?
 



No chance Wilder will be their next manager because there's no chance they'll be brave enough not to give it to Darren Moore - if they don't then Sol Campbell and the black managers brigade will absolutely crucify them.

When Swansea are relegated can you start a thread on Wilder going there too :rolleyes:
 
What are the odds on him going to manage D-Taxis??

Yes, but the overall highest is The Silverlands at Buxton. Whilst fucking nippy in winter, there is a very good chip shop nearby and it is a fine place to watch non-league football.

I think they’re probably more likely to keep Darren Moore because he just won manager of the month (somehow managing to conjure wins over Man U and Spurs plus coming back from 2-0 down v Liverpool, with a group of players who looked utterly hopeless under Pulis and Pardew) rather than because of the colour of his skin. Incidentally, I’m sure Pards will have no trouble finding another cushy job once his latest severance pot runs dry...

Is that true? I never know with you :)

Two feet above sea level? Is Grimsby's ground on the beach?!
 



Went there for the 1st game of the season following our promotion from the then division 3. Against all odds we spanked them 3-0, Deane and Agana were unplayable (and were for the rest of the season) and John Gannon put on a master class in midfield. Brilliant day, brilliant performance, brilliant season (best season I have witnessed).

Next season - Moore of the same please.

Geddit?!
 
I think the list could be updated with new league teams and those that have gone.

I am sure there are enough crazy fools round here with nothing better to do than compile a 2018 version?

Sorry, we're all too busy inventing rumours about where Wilder is off to next!

And brilliant away kit - the first airing of the fluorescent yellow shirts.
 



Stoke and West Brom are very much Sheff Utd sized clubs. But they’ll have pockets full of money. Sunderland also have bags of money but now play in our beloved “dog shit league.”
Chrissy Wilder...........The choice is yours.
