Starlizard sounds like the Moneyball system.

To a degree yes.

Some say TB is the world’s biggest gambler, he has dozens and dozens of highly paid mathematicians crunching data 24/7.

He only buys with a view to eventually sell.

I might be biased but I don’t think anyone in the world knows more about football than TB.

Chelsea have given B&HA near on £200,000,000 but haven’t yet grasped that the person that matters is not, and never will be for sale.

so after a poor month suffering 3 defeats in 4 today we were away at the surprise leaders of the league and came away with all 3 points so back up to second but on tuesday are away at the poppies who seem to have sorted themselves out and are in contention this season

Sussex and grandad's team face off tomorrow as for the rest i think CC will be the happier it looks like sacking the manager was the smart move

A big game today for us but what do you think the chances are of Starmer being at the Man City V Arsenal game today? The party conference is only up the road at Liverpool.

after last weeks catastrophic home defeat in the FA Trophy we finally had only our second home league game of the last 4 weeks we were 2-0 up at half time and managed to play an abysmal second half losing 3-2. On paper our squad is as good as last year but we just can't play with any consistency :sad:

And to make matters worse the team we beat away on the opening day of the season Harbrough town managed by our former manager (who got us relegated) just reached the first round proper of the FA cup ! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Although their plastic pitch might have been a big help in that !

I remember Brian Clough saying that but he finished the sentance by saying "unfortunately we were playing on grass."

Lincoln City v Birmingham City this afternoon. Sold out game, could be emotional.

Big clubs have rocked up here thinking they have three points in the bag before kick off.
I’m thinking Ipswich, Sunderland…

Might be singing a happy song at 1700 Edders…

The wife tells me she wants a divorce, because my world revolves around football. I can’t believe it! We’ve been together for 53 seasons.

We completely changed our setup and still won.

Eight games in, played 4 of the so-called big 6, beat Saudi FC away, and are placed 5th in the league.

Not bad for a team with a 31 year old manager.
