We've been rubbish in the T20 ever since we last won it in 2011. Only 2 Quarter finals and 0 finals day appearances in 14 years is a pretty poor showing!

The QF against Notts was one of the most heart wrenching moments as an LCCC fan

Mulder declares, mad

Wicket first ball.

I guess I feel the same way about it as I did Hayden taking the record off Lara against the same opposition as here, and I was glad when Lara got it back. 

 

I know you can only rack up a score against what's in front of you, though. 

I'm viewing through green tinted Leicestershire spectacles here

Mulder on course to boost his batting average from 26 to 40 in one knock haha. This is his 21st test as well

Unpopular opinion: while it'll be great for him if he reaches the record, I hope that it stays with Lara.

Definitely unpopular

One of the strangest careers ever.  A striker, but never a prolific goalscorer, who played at some top clubs and won a ton of medals, but will imo never be considered a top player. 

Mad disrespect. France's all time leading goalscorer ffs

6 more than Henry, and scored at a better rate of knots. Let that sink in.

Gonna need Rishi to dig in for a big one I think. 

not exactly digging in here

My local team Southam United chopped out the Hellenic league towards the end of last season. Had turned into a proverbial punch bag. No sign of them resurfacing this season yet.

Think I'd rather watch the women's Euros

taking the piss, absolutely dire atmosphere and standard.

Former will be the same for club world cup, not the latter

That being said, I'll be watching some/most of the games. Rare you get a chance to watch south american vs european teams.

Don't buy into this overworked players shit. Squad sizes are absolutely huge these days and they're all being paid obscene money. STFU and get on with it

Corrupt Swiss lawyer gets the boot.

Who shall we replace him with, not another corrupt Swiss lawyer? Actually, sure that'll be fine

Still think about that 3-3 friendly game against Fiorentina - what a game that was  

Was 7 years old for this, chundered all over the Carling stand shortly after KO, old man had to take me home.

Knew the pre match beers were a bad idea

Well given my autistic over-organisational traits, I've started to eye up the next trips. 

 

Definitely going Bari in November but a few pointers I am looking at. I have a list of European ground I'd like to visit it but these are the most immediate. 

 

Belgrade derby (always no1.), Morton (bloody big crane), Arbroath (cos the location), Glentoran (cos the ground is the GOAT in the UK), Quick Boys (tail it with a park run Z), about four in Belgium (Racing Mechelen or Olympic Charleroi the best of the lot), Nantes & Strasbourg (respective derbies), Valencia (high up the list), Kaiserslautern, Borrusia Neunkirchen (look it up!), all of Italy but Bari & Lecce in particular - although Udine & Verona, there is a superb set of flights which allow a quick jaunt to Atalanta from East Mids, Hajduk Split, PAOK, Arka v Lechia 

 

In the UK - thinking of targeting a ground each month which is outside of the norm 

Marine, FC United, Worcester (now at the rugby ground), Hastings Town, Mossley, Bourne Town, Malvern (so I can do the superb nags head pub), Great Yarmouth, MFL & all as many UCL as possible. 

 

Other information 

Serie A have ambitously said 6th June for their fixtures. August bank Holiday - both Milan clubs playing at San Siro due to Winter Olympics. 

So with you on this.

Also keen on Valencia as Mestalla looks incredible, but nothing beats an Italian trip.

Sardinia, Sicily and Apulia are the last major regions for me to see Italian football in.

Makes me laugh because the competition was formed in 2021. There's lots of teams that haven't even entered it.

Made even more difficult with no drop down from Europa League now.

Looking at next year's teams, genuinely scared how far Forest could go, even if they go to shit in the league.

Main hope is they treat it with disdain and field weakened sides. Chelsea could afford to field second/thirds and still mop up.

Still though, if you're Chelsea you would celebrate being the only team to win all 3.

Funnier still is the only player to win all 3 is Emerson Palmieri

Slight worry that has gone as Wycombe got half of it. Hopefully thats only because they took a small following there in the play offs 

Think for the playoffs clubs often purposefully give bare min to increase home adv. Less likely to do this for league games next year.

Edit: I stand corrected

All the people cheering on the O's, have you not done Charlton away before? Right up there with the best for me

Don't like Spurs but absolutely love Big Ange. Bloke.

BRING BACK JEFF

Man U or Spurs and Chelsea winning their European tournaments are like Celtic winning the SPL. 

It should be the minimum requirement. 

 

Good for their fans but nobody else really cares. 

 

This is all that matters.

If we'd have won the Conference League, wouldn't have given a flying fvck what other 'fans' thought of it

Still frustrates me that Villa got Youri for free at 26 years old.

 

Such a class footballer.

Don't care about the cup final goal, will always be a cvnt in my eyes.

One of the chief proponents of downing tools in relegation season.

Look how well he's doing for Villa now as well, makes me sick.

Yep.  I remember that like it was yesterday.  7800 of us there, ball lands at Lloyd Dyer's feet.  Literally waiting to explode with delight ... and he put the bugger over the bar.

 

 

Hahaha look how much he's leaning back in the thumbnail, would have missed from a yard out

Are we playing Derby at Edgbaston in the T20? That’s what the site says 

Didn't we do that last year as part of Edgbaston double header? Will then be Bears v someone straight after
