We're out in Magaluf (bad timing on the wife's part) and I'm looking for the best place to catch the game tomorrow with my two lads.

I've had a wander around and found a few sports bars. I'm thinking Linekars but if anyone has any other places they know of, let me know.

Cheers.

Let's all guess at when this phrase gets said on the broadcast
"How fortunes have changed. Last seasons high flying, record breaking, league winners now stagnating in mid table limbo versus last seasons league runners up who are now dreaming of entering the promised land of the Premiership with back to back to back promotion run"
I give it 5 minutes before kick-off.

Win. Our season is over, but nice to put a nail in their play off hopes

Draw. Meh, another flat day

Defeat. Armageddon and bye bye Chris. The hierarchy must be preparing to pull the trigger.

Given the sub plots this is more than a dead rubber for us, l wonder how much we’ll be up for it.

I reckon 2-2.

First time creating a post on here but wanted to see if anyone had sold their programmes before and what's the best way. I've got probably over 100 programmes that I want to sell all from about 2004-2012. Wanted to see if anyone had previous experience selling theirs. Put a few up on Ebay and Vinted but seems like it might be a long wait

BigBarryBoozer — Sat, 11 Apr 2026 09:32:04 +0000

Looking at our squad list on transfermarkt, we have no contracted first team players out of contract (Brad Mayo apparently expires in the Summer), so the only players leaving will be the loan returns, an understudy in Mayo and Panzo's short term deal.

Beadle
Panzo
Solis
Doyle
Osman
Mayo (Unless deal has been offered?)

Not sure how I feel about this. Has done really well with the u21's so he must be a good coach but he does have some top talent to work with.

The way things are at Blues at the moment, having a manager with some experience in the transfer market would be hugely beneficial, in my opinion.
