    I am sure he will blame the red card which by all accounts was fair and the penalty given which was missed anyway.

    Be nice local trip to Wycombe - and Oxford isn't too bad if we go down.

    Hopefully won't happen of course!

    Their own penalty - which they scored - was well dodgy. Their second red card was a bit rough though.

    Akinfenwa the Beast didn't do too much when he came on. Boy is he big - just about blotted out the centre circle. I didn't realise he was on Watford's books back in 2001.

    This handball stuff really is a lottery !

    Simply depends on what the refs at the VAR each game think.

    I just dipped into the Swansea v Sheff Wed game and noticed Ben Wilmot is missing - not in the team, not on the bench and not listed in the missing players. Is he back at Watford after his loan spell officially ended?

    Odd thing this morning - the SPL fixtures were released for the start of next season on 1st August, just under four weeks away, yet the dispute by both Hearts and Partick Thistle over relegation hasn't been settled yet. After a three day hearing in court, the judge ruled that their challenges are to be heard by an arbitration panel - with no date set yet, and a decision likely to take over two weeks. That's going to mean some hasty rescheduling if the panel rules in Hearts' favour - not to mention some hasty transfer activity if Hearts want to be competitive.

    Kenny Jackett's Pompey and Oxford go to a penalty shootout. Have to say that neither side would impress in the Championship if promoted - some awful football played.

    If Oxford lost Karl Robinson will probably blame anyone but himself or the team.

    Used to listen tom him on 3CR - what a moaner he was.

    I know they all complain about officials but he'd spent about 5 minutes doing it.

    :EDIT: Oxford won - shame for Kenny J.

    Oxford win the right to probably be mauled by Akinfenwa at Wembley. They'll wear themselves out trying to run around him.

    Need Everton to be better than it sounds like they were when they play Villa and Bournemouth !

    Mind you if we don't pick up points then we cannot complain.

    Bloody hell - 16 year old Russian footballer hit by lightning whilst training. <yikes>

    I hope he is well and recovering...


    Edit: Hmm - I'm not sure why the link to the story isn't showing...

    Things are looking interesting at the top of the Championship - only three points separating Leeds, West Brom and Brentford.
    Would love to see Leeds bottle it and let Brentford take one of the automatic promotion spots - and then get beaten in the play-offs.

    Damm Luton won.

    It's really close at the bottom of the Championship.
