Also - Khazakstan applies to join the EU and the EU agrees to fund a new railway station at West Wycombe with a High Speed Chairlift Link to Adams Park with an extension via the Town to a Park and Ride zone handy for Handy Cross.
The batterings that spring to my mind are Dag & Red away, Runcorn, Burnley, Northampton away. Plus Fleetwood in the first leg counts just to piss Joey Barton off
@eric_plant and @drcongo to 'tie the knot' in the centre circle at home to Bolton with @glasshalffull presiding after his recent qualification as a clergyman.
My prediction, and I don’t know if it’s bold or not, is that Kone is going to be the 20+ goal a season striker.
I’ve not wanted a player to do so well as I do with Kone since, I think, Jermaine McSporran came into the club. There’s something about him that makes me hope he continues his upward trajectory
I remember the pure excitement when we signed McSporran. I think we were quoted as beating loads of clubs to his signing, and a player with extreme pace is always exciting.
I don't know if it's being a lot older now but I don't feel this anywhere near the same with Kone, but I love that so many do, and look forward to him continuing to develop,
Jermaine McSporran was something else…running towards the Valley End at full tilt is a favourite memory. I recall him scoring straight from the kick off after half time when he waltzed through their whole team and smashed it into the net at the Valley End…not one of their players touched it. He was on the verge of a million pound move to Wolves I think but was cruelly taken out by a vicious tackle at Wigan which did his acl and scuppered his move.
Not sure if anyone found any other examples but this was what must be an incredibly rare instance of a team scoring two goals without an opposition player touching the ball in between.
We had equalised (I think we were 1-0 down) with the very last kick of the first half so no time for kick off after the goal.
It was a Jamie Bates free kick scoring with the last kick of the half, then Jockey scored straight after the re start. I don’t think it’s ever been done before or since.

Lovely thread - thanks @Shev.
How about: We will beat Oxford 0 - 3 at their place in the FA Cup 5th round and they won't win another game for the rest of the season.

My predictions…
We are the leagues top scorers after 10 games
Bishop gets our player of the month for August
Dobbo as Academy Director or similar by end of season (great shout whoever’s that was!)
Phil Parkinson takes over at Reading as the Wrexham project goes stale by Christmas
@username123
Apologies for the pedantry but it was Redbridge Forest away that we absolutely battered for 55 minutes. What a night though.
(And I thought the same until looking back to see when we scored those two early second half goals that for a while made a miracle seem possible)
Don’t apologise - I couldn’t remember if it was Dag or Dag & Red so you have actually helped me out 😂
I am still waiting for Dagenham & Redbridge to merge with AFC Rushden & Diamonds, so that we can have AFC Rushden & Redbridge & Dagenham & Diamonds.
Life would be complete.
Huge following that night. Denis Greene on fire.
I think you're getting muddled with Altrincham away.
Pretty certain it was Scott and Casey that night.
One of the greatest Wycombe Wanderers performances of all time that night
You could add in Leytonstone & Ilford and Walthamstow to the naming for completeness.
When I was a kid I ran against Windsor & Eton, who became Windsor, Sl#%gh & Eton and then eventually Windsor, Sl#%gh, Eton & Houslow!
I thought that was the one where needed to win 11-0 or something stupid and at one point looked like me might do it
Yeah it was, we went 5-0 up shortly after half time playing some spellbinding stuff. But I don't think Dennis Greene was in the side, that's all

Looking forward to hearing the vows
I assume @DevC will be Eric's best man! You could perhaps offer your services as bridesmaid.
bunch of sickos
What about Gravesend & Northfleet
I will happily offer my services as a bridesmaid as I've got the perfect dress in my wardrobe that has never been used.
Squeeling with excitement
@oilysailor has just contacted me to offer a podcast covering the event
@shev can provide the music with red and whiteforever taking the glorious looking plant to the centre circle
Grahame Souness is up for sacrificing a chicken for the wedding feast
What would your suggested views be?

Bit out there as a prediction but I think Sadlier will play a full game without being substituted this season.
