Northern Red

Hughton was already on thin ice before the tournament as their results in the build-up had been poor. You'd assume he doesn't survive an early exit.

I didn't think that there was any live coverage of FA Cup matches apart from those on free to view TV?

Not officially.

And sure enough, the whataboutery starts.

Ace.

These outlets tend to be franchises, so maybe just change of ownership, although would seem strange to close 

If it's as much of a dive as people are claiming then they might be refurbishing for the new owner.

Always remember when Downing and Simpson came in just after Holden was appointed and he said something about not just wanting to have your mate who agrees with everything you say, which felt like it might have been a bit of a pointed comment towards LJ and McAllister.

My mind harks back to when I saw him in a U21 game at Crewe a couple of years ago. Very languid and laid back, and was getting constant cajoling from the coaches in the dugout and Tinnion who was sat a few rows back in the stand, far moreso than any of the others.

Obviously got talent but if he regularly needs a rocket up his backside to do anything then he isn't going to get very far.

Interesting that a Northampton player has just seen red against Munster for something that was far more malicious than Caulfield last night, yet tonight's ref stopped short of saying it was clearly intentional.

Oh bore off.

If he wasn't at his best but still scored, had another chance and created a few then that has to be a positive.

Sunday league football at Prem wages with **** all tax…what’s the attraction?.

Another sport that the Saudis are trying to buy.

Its like the Chinese league of a few years ago, only the clubs and owners actually do have the cash.

 

They've turned their attention to snooker now, a tournament with an extra "golden ball" that will be worth 20 points.

Also, the way our fanbase seems to flip flop on Conway is amazing.

A few weeks ago he was sh*t.
Then he scored away at West Ham and he was great.
Then we lost to PNE and he was sh*t again.
Then we beat West Ham at home and we were worried about Bournemouth taking him.
Now we've drawn with Watford and we need to replace him ASAP.

F****** hell 

If Conway was playing for Preston or Millwall or similar, with the same record, half the people moaning about him would be wanting us to sign him and asking why we can't develop a striker like that.

Think that's slightly generous.

Set piece delivery was very good, but in open play very little came off for him (with the obvious exception of the tap in). Also thought his pressing lacked a bit of intensity compared to our other midfielders and forwards.

Hopefully it's just a case of him taking a couple of weeks to assimilate.

That's how he plays.

Fair result against a very decent team, and probably emphaises how good the win at their place was

Shocked by this revelation...

Frustrating the club moved this to a Friday night, cannot keep travelling 6 hour round trip for evening games! Also means my kids miss out when they want to go, wonder what the rationale was? Hopefully it’s accessible online. 

They had no choice. Rugby on the Saturday and the women on the Sunday.

I look forward to seeing how Pat defends that. The red didn't help but it was nowhere near acceptable.

I for one am outraged.

Nonsense red, but the performance has been a disgrace. If you can't be arsed to do the basics like resource rucks properly then you won't win many games.

I can confirm that LJ does not want this job. 
I understand he’s happy to have a period of time out of the game. His last 2 jobs have left him a little disillusioned and he’s enjoying a break from the game (and in particular, his recent experiences, which were not enjoyable). 

Probably the best thing for him. I would bet that with hindsight he wishes he'd had a break after leaving Hibs.

Cracking strike from Kudus to put Ghana ahead, just after Salah went off injured.

Another coup,same as the Irish lad,do you really believe  they turned down prem clubs & top championship  sides to join us ,if those scouts rated him he'd  be there not here ,every player we sign they tell us it's a coup ,what they really mean it's cheap !!

Do you like anything about the club?

Is this the player Ian Gay refused to name I wonder?! 

He will be now.

I was put off KFC for years after getting food poisoning from the one at Knutsford services.

I am still away from Bristol and not back to 28 th. Radio Bristol for me then, if it reaches Weston 

Even if doesn't reach Weston you'll be able to listen to it on BBC Sounds, different rules for the cup so they're able to put it online.
