Re: JJ's last game
I remember when we signed JJ in the summer of 2014, after our very close battle against relegation to the conference. I'd posted on here that year wanting us to sign him after always admiring his wand of a left foot when coming up against us for Shrewsbury. In a rare coincidence the late great David Robertson convinced him to join that summer and on we went to make a Wembley play off final the very next season with him playing a key part.
Since then it has been a decade of great memories, countless goals and assists from left back, so deadly from set pieces. I'll always remember the perfectly timed tackle at MK Dons in the play offs, and the heroic goal line clearance against Sunderland at Adams Park.
At one point in time, the trademark JJ left footed swinging cross and resulting Bayo header seemed a weapon that none of our opponents could counter.
One of my favourite ever Wycombe players and I would wager our greatest ever left back.
A top guy off the pitch as well to boot, always has time for a chat and such a warm, friendly character to have around the club.
Hope Saturday is a fitting send off and fingers crossed stays at the club in some capacity if he does continue working within football.
Thanks for the many great memories JJ... it's been our privilege...
Re: FA Cup replays scrapped
If replays had been scrapped in 2001 we would have been denied one of the greatest, most memorable nights in Wycombe’s history…Selhurst Park, Martin Taylor, my most biased commentary ever! This is another example of the PL flexing its muscles and the FA giving in.
Re: iFollow coming to an end
Difficult to imagine quite how awful this is going to be.
Absolutely zero shits given about fans who actually go to games.
Re: Match Day Thread: Derby
Pompey fan in peace. I thought your lads put an incredible shift in tonight, so soon after Sunday; credit to them and Matt Bloomfield; bit of luck with the Derby miss early on but the intensity and desire was far higher than I'd expected/feared.
Wishing you all the best for the rest of the season - hope you can kick on next term. I've enjoyed the couple of trips I've made up to Adams Park - hopefully the next one will be in the Championship.
Re: Match Day Thread: Derby
Well done guys terrific performance just a shame you couldn’t find that goal to finish Derby off. Maybe those numpties on their fans site who slagged you off today and thought they only had to turn up to get the points are reconsidering now? Their belief that Posh and Bolton fans would be able to concentrate on the play offs after tonight might also now come back to haunt them? Still a way to go but you have certainly opened up the automatics again with that result tonight so as a Bolton fan you have my sincere thanks. It’s in our hands now so if we fail there’s nobody to blame but us. 😁

A club that thinks it has nothing to play for v a club that thinks it has nothing to pay for.
Re: Match Day Thread: Peterborough (EFL Trophy)
Had a wonderful couple of days, travelled up with the kids yesterday morning. 3 hours later and a little stop at Oxford services to get the kids changed we arrived in Wycombe in time for the 12.40pm train to Wembley. Was speaking to Brownie for a bit and it was good he got recognised getting off the train and people shouting his name. We headed the green man and had a good time in there. Meeting up with people I've met over the years and taking in the atmosphere, the kids liked the it and a few pints and some Jagers it was time to head to Wembley.
We had great seats. Right behind the goal, 2 seats in the disabled section and 3 in the row in front so we were all together. Gutted with the result, thought Lonwijk was immense and plenty of positives to take from the game. Made up we scored too. That's the 2nd time I've took the kids to Wembley, Sunderland being other one so for us to score and it will give them memories for life.
After the game we got on the train back to Wycombe and then it was time to check in the hotel. The kids we're knackered and understandably so but I still fancied going out so headed back into the town centre and met up with a few lads. Probably not my wisest decision but ended up in the Antelope till the early hours. Plenty of Wycombe fans still about and I was just thinking imagine if we won.
Today we took it easy, went to the ground to pick 5 tickets up for Shrewsbury and 5 tickets for Port Vale which I ordered before the game got called off. Went into the town centre and just strolled around for a bit before heading back to Liverpool. A couple of stop offs on the way and we got back just before 6pm.
Speaking to the girls they absolutely loved it. That's what it's all about for me.
Re: Wembley Pub Runcorn
Hey all, shame about yesterday's result. Did manage to find the former Eddies pub though - was a special moment in an ultimately disappointing day! Thanks again for the help finding the spot!
