Thread | My top 10 moments of this season
at 19:31 6 May 2024
1. Sunderland away
George Hirst goal. Vas performance. Away from home. Against a team who were in the play offs the season before. On sky. What a start to the season!
2. The comeback vs Cardiff after going 2-0 down.
Super sub Freddy. 2-0 down at home after a good start to the season. This performance goes down as the one I remember first really thinking we were pretty good.
3. That Wes Burns goal.
What a goal. Worked from back to front before the delightful finish.
4. Sarmiento goal against Leicester (a)
Massive, massive, massive goal for us at the time.
5. Morsy goal against Leicester (h).
it feels a little boring to have 2 goals against Leicester in the list but the context of the goals cannot be ignored. Also helped being on Boxing day at home to ‘rescue’ a point. The time “Deflection FC” started appearing.
6. Harness equaliser away at Birmingham
Massive goal and a tidy, tidy finish on the turn/volley My stream was so bad I only knew it was a goal because the net moved. Went crazy.
7. Leif Davis goal against Bristol City
Timing of the goal with the importance of that goal considering the table. Big celebrations. Also meant we had won 6 on the bounce.
8. Beating Sheffield Wednesday 6-0 at home after losing 2-1 THAT away game.
So important we put Sheffield Wednesday away and bounced back after losing to Cardiff in the manner in which we did and also at that stage in the season. Thought we would beat them, but certainly didn’t expect that score line. A great win and also showed how far we have come in such a short space of time.
9. Sarmiento goal against Southampton.
Not sure I have ever celebrated a goal more. Russel Martin. Leif Davis free on the left. Last minute. Last touch. Toe poke. Limbs.
10. The full time whistle Saturday.
Just waiting for someone to call out an obvious best moment that I have missed. A couple of outside mentions:
- Leeds losing 4-0 to QPR
- Harry Clarke’s brother being mistaken for Burgess

First goal - foul on Morsy in build up, duffed shot from 35 yards that’s been deflected…
2nd Goal - Offside.
It’s been a bad start but my god have we been unfortunate. |

Thread | Amad Diallo
at 20:29 15 May 2023
Genuinely believe we could see Ahmad Diallo arrive on a loan for next season.
Yes he is on big wages, but he is currently on loan at Sunderland. If they can afford him, surely we can too?
I would say a lot rests on if Sunderland go up but if they don’t, I imagine Utd wouldn’t mind sending him back out on loan for next season at a relatively similar level. 14g and 3a is a very good return but is it really enough to be pushing out the likes of Rashford … Garnacho … Anthony or Sancho? I mean some of those don’t even start. Would he be happy with the game time at Utd if he didn’t move on (loan)?
Will Utd loan him to a premier league club? I really don’t know. Potentially, but much more likely a mid to high ligue 1 or Bundesliga club level.
We had over 25,000 fans a game at home in League One, week in week out and away games were sold out, even on Tuesday nights.
We have an up and coming young manager who was previously at Utd and irrespective of what is said by Utd fans, has always had former pros/coaches saying all the right things about him. Look at Chaplin, Davis, Broadhead, Hirst, Woolfenden, Burns and how they developed and look in this team.
We have just got promoted into the same league as Sunderland, have cash, a respected young manager (at Utd) and have a young team who right now look like they would finish top half of the table next season(higher if you consider early betting odds).
I really think some people on here don’t realise how attractive we are.
I mean… imagine Broadhead and Diallo in the same team though.
Also I think Hirst won’t be coming back to us and we will be in for someone more experienced. Hirst is a good striker and I’m sure he will have an unreal career but thinking back to the first thing I read about the new owners was that they signed flipping Drogba. They will want proven Championship+ goals with the supply coming from behind. Just my thoughts. |

Thread | There used to be Goal posts and a pitch…
at 20:41 5 Dec 2022
On Rushmere Heath, in the middle of the golf course. Between the 16th(?) and 13th(?) holes.
Does anyone know what it was used for? I wondered if there was any history to it?
Just saw a thread about how few Sunday League teams there are now vs the past and it got me thinking about that pitch and it’s history. [Post edited 5 Dec 2022 20:54]
