Are you saying players in league 2 are on less than £100 a week?
Players in the isthmian league get more than that. |

You’d think that midweek games are run at a loss for most in L2? |

Seen this banded about this week a few times, got me thinking ( dangerous I know) but turn the EFL into 4 divisions of 20, would give 8 national league teams league status, still have 3 up and 3 down.
Would reduce the number of midweek games and probably make the whole thing a bit more exciting. |

Cukarayo rolling about dying, gets up when he didn’t get the foul without a single limp. |

Saw him play a fair bit in the 70’s early 80’s as my dad took me to Upton Park every time my mum wanted to see my Nan ( he didn’t like her) was a great player who should have got more England caps. [Post edited 30 Nov 13:07]

Yes, how many games, particularly at home have been dominating but not scored when we’ve been on top? Other team gets their first chance and score. |

You’re missing my point, 6/9 points better than 5, but there wouldn’t be any of the moaning on here if it was the latter. |

We would have all been happy but had a point less!
Bad day at the office today, got everything we deserved.
Only plus point is I’m already home and dinner in the microwave.
Plenty of “friendly” stick off the locals on the train back to Lowestoft, going to get slaughtered at work tomorrow. |

Watched them down at Lowestoft 3 or 4 seasons ago, only time I’ve witnessed crowd trouble at a non league game. They had a right few idiots following them that day. |

Just back in my hotel room, that was freezing, excellent result, huge save by Nardi, if Smyths volley had gone in the roof would have come off. |

Thread | Got talking an old boy on the train from Diss today
at 21:52 22 Nov 2025
He got on at Ipswich, sat opposite me, clocked scarf and said “QPR I’ve played there a few times”
Turns out he was westhams reserve goalkeeper in the 60’s, he played 3 first team games one of which was 6-1 loss to Manchester United, he was quite chuffed that Best, Charlton and Law had scored against him.
He then spoke about the evening standard 5 asides, the keeper at the time Jim Standen I think he said didn’t fancy diving on concrete so he played, he was 17 so played behind Moore ,Scissons and a couple of others , after the 1st round the evening standard guy came round and gave them a tenner, this increased by £10 every round, he said he ended up with £150 and he was only on £7 a week so was well chuffed.
He said he was Redknapps best mate, by now I thought he was starting to embellish it a bit but after a it of googling turns out he was!

Definitely one of the best train trips I’ve had.
His next move was Leicester, they gave him a £1000 signing on fee which bought him a house up there, said it was the biggest mistake of his life as Shilton was just emerging so he didn’t stand a chance. He ended up joining the police and playing for free for Kettering before transferring back to London and playing for the Met.
Said he’s still in contact with Harry and meets regularly.
As we got into Stratford he insisted on giving me his phone number and wants me to go for a meal and a pint with him after the Ipswich game as I was such good company on the train.
