Reply | 3 Games In 5 Days
at 23:33 19 Feb 2026
In the 1973/74 season we played 3 important games in 4 days over the Easter weekend as we battled against relegation from Division 1. That was half of the remaining 6 games played within the space of 96 hours.
12 Apr 1974 - West Ham United v Southampton - L 4-1
13 Apr 1974 - Tottenham Hotspur v Southampton - L 3-1
15 Apr 1974 - Southampton v West Ham United - D 1-1
In fact, we had to then play 2 more of the remaining 3 games soon afterwards making it a total of 5 games in 11 days!
20 Apr 1974 - Southampton v Manchester United - D 1-1
22 Apr 1974 - Burnley v Southampton - L 3-0
A 3-0 win away at Everton on the final day was not enough to save us from being relegated as the first team to finish third from bottom under the revised rules that had only been introduced that season. Our replacement in Division 1 was Carlisle United! That didn't exactly work out well, they went straight back down along with Luton & Chelsea with Spurs only staying up by a single point and Arsenal finishing 16th. Top London club in Div 1 that season was QPR. |

Thread | Clubs to vote on expanding the Play-Offs to 6 Clubs
at 19:29 13 Feb 2026
The Football League are holding an EGM - Extraordinary General Meeting - of the 72 FL Clubs on March 5th to vote on a proposal to expand the current format of the Championship Play-Offs for next season from 4 to 6 Clubs. This would mean the 7th & 8th placed finishers getting to join the Play-Off lottery.
As I understand it, 8th would play 5th in a one-off ‘eliminator’ game staged at the home ground of the 5th placed team. Likewise, 7th would play 6th at the 6th placed team’s home ground. After that, it reverts to the current format with whoever is left. Think I am right in saying this would mirror the National League’s current Play-Off structure.
Anyway, keep an eye out for the result of the vote in March 5th - as I understand it, this is only for the Championship starting next season, not L1 or L2 which will mean all three FL Divisions would have different promotion & relegation criteria.
Be interested to see what others think about this. |

He also has a World Cup place to play for and not that many games left to make a good impression. As the Sky commentator said today, Canada will play their group games in Toronto and Vancouver so how memorable would those occasions be for the players that make the team. That is a great incentive for him to stay fit and make a good impression between now and the end of the season. |

at 20:14 2 Feb 2026
After Strand Larsen's last minute 19.00 move to Palace, Wolves have put in a deal sheet to the Premier League as they complete the signing of Adam Armstrong late in the transfer window
According to Sky Sports, Wolves are in the final stages of securing the services of Southampton's top scorer Adam Armstrong.
The transfer window slammed shut at 7 pm, but the Premier League club have announced that they have given themselves an additional two hours to complete the transfer after submitting a deal sheet. |

Because we are owned and run by a bunch of spannerheads that couldn't run a drinking party in a brewery. Lost count of the windows now since we have dismally failed to get in a proven PL / Championship scorer that we have been crying out for. If AA and CA both stay I hope we pull out of the deal for the Canadian p1sshead - if we don't, I guess it is a like for like replacement for Donkey Downs who is now out on loan elsewhere... |

Thread | BBC reporting Strand Larsen to Palace at 19.00
at 19:40 2 Feb 2026
The BBC done deals are reporting Strand Larsen to Palace right on the 19.00 deadline - so, does this mean AA to Wolves on a deal sheet submission post 19.00??
WHY do these stupid clubs leave things to the last few seconds window after window after window? What a ridiculous way to carry on... |
