Manure would have been a more appropriate fit.

Some excerpts from ESPN story on Wrexham today. "Hollywood story", "fairy tale" etc. - I think we have found the only American who does not know how money works!

Former Rochdale man Joe Thompson has announced that his cancer has once again returned.

I hope he beats it once and for all this time.

Leicester lose at Plymouth. The pressure at the top of the championship is devastating the top three.

Southampton not out of it either - two games in hand and still have to play Leicester and Leeds

Shev · April 12

Leicester were 17 points clear of 3rd at one point. Would this be the greatest ever bottle job? I assume they were about 5000-1 to drop into the playoffs.

To be honest, it'll be interesting to when the league come for Wrexham having posted over $11.3 million lose and having a "loan" in from their owners

A non-league football club has received an injection of $4.5m (about £3.6m) from a pair of cryptocurrency investors.

Real Bedford FC (RBFC) received the Bitcoin investment from Winklevoss Capital, an investment firm owned by Gemini founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss.

Podcaster Peter McCormack bought the side, currently in the ninth tier of English football, in 2021 with the goal of turning it into a Premier League club.

Following the investment the twins will assume the role of co-owners of the club alongside the cryptocurrency podcaster.

OK Lomtadze, time to share out some Scooby snacks

I understood less at the end of that article than I did at the beginning.

Anyone else starting to think none of the top 3 in the Championship actually want to go up?

flymofrank · April 13

Oh Leeds, the Tottenham of the north

Unbelievable late wobbling isn't it!

I think Ipswich will win it then 2nd place will go down to the wire. Still a bit of a battle for 6th as well.

Can’t blame them. Much more fun to be top of the championship than to be trucked by Aston Villa and Brighton each week.

Own goal off the face alert! City lead Luton.

Shev · April 13

Oxford really rounding into form, and smashing Peterborough. If Bolton somehow catch Derby it would be the most dislikable final four possible: Derby, Barnsley, Peterborough, Oxford!

Shev · April 13

Exeter in 12th with a -15 goal difference is one of the mysteries of the universe.

Judging by these pictures it seems Milton Keynes were aiming for a competitive advantage over Mansfield this afternoon.

Well in Mansfield

Pretty hard for Mk to get autos now... please bottle the play offs !!

Anyone else find the L2 table on the BBC website impossible to look at, particularly on a phone. It seems to have had a glitch for the last couple of seasons but has got worse lately.
