These are the sorts of games we look forward to seeing at the World Cup… [Link]

Joey - I hope Bernard Cribbins can be resurrected to do the voices.

Tend to take the Papers' view whilst we're up in Lge One and expect a bottom four finish

Hello! Hello! Wombles are back, Wombles are back! [Link]

Gems will be unearthed. In Cope we trust.

Can't see Mansfield going down. I reckon Donny, Burton, Cambridge and Wigan but agree we are up against it unless some gems are unearthed

Many thanks for the kind wishes after my slightly tipsy nocturnal ramblings. Less of the congratulations though. You'll have the neighbours talking.

Don't worry about it

I know, CW, but hope springs eternal in the Womble breast.

Paddo-no but you have to be realistic we nearly went down last season despite having a great start on the back of promotion unless we can pull some rabbits out of the hat transfer wise it’s going to be tough especially without Dave Reddington

More than 2 stars I meant to say

Carshalton at 11:15 - are you morphing into your bro?

PW-I understand it but perhaps FIFA shouldn’t have allowed them than 2 stars

Obviously would love us to stay up but it’s a tougher division (on paper at least) next season and we have no idea of whether we have an increased or decreased playing budget. It’s a tough challenge for sure. My main hope is that it’s not a long slog of a season where it’s obvious we can’t compete.

Uruguay won their 2 Olympic Golds in 1924 and 1928, so before there was a World Cup, so I can understand their claim of being best in the world 4 times.

Let’s not be negative - Dons are going up olé olé!!

Possibly Sheffield Weds will be in the promotion shake up now that they don’t have a 15 point deduction

Replace Bromley with Burton and I think that is about right.

Agreed Spit - Martin’s franchise scored after a 51 passing move and only Man City and Barcelona had higher average possession stats that same season. Franchise finished 13th in L1.

No, tennis and football are not the same.

I’d say Leicester, Oxford and Huddersfield will go up and Bromley, Wimbledon, Cambridge Utd and Mansfield will go down

Sideway and backwards football in league 1, that's Leicester out of promotion

Do away with stars altogether. Anyone who can actually remember Uruguay winning the World Cup is now in their 80s and it was a totally different, maybe better, competition, then.

Is tennis the same? Andy Murray won 3 grand slams and has 2 Olympic gold medals. Zverev has just won his first grand slam at 29 but also has 2 Olympic golds.

Russell Martin takes charge of Leicester, bringing him back to L1 management where he has such pedigree as finishing 19th and 13th with the franchise scum.
