Fact is, he was about for their brief upturn and now he isnt . So on the 'good lad' bit, I'll respectfully decline to agree. Not sure that’s true. It has been a weird season for us all and nobody knows Bilo’s personal circumstances. Judging someone by their absence seems a little unfair. Yeah...."Welcome to DATM"

Southend were in the Championship not so long ago. The top half of the Conference is log jammed with ex league clubs. Yes, it sure is. My local non-league side Sutton United is the only one at the top that hasn’t played in the league before and I’m not convinced they actually want to go up. I fancy Stockport County to sneak back in, though both Hartlepool and Torquay are in good form. Halifax and Notts County outsiders. Suttons season is quite incredible when you look at the top of the conference. Do they have someone pumping money in like Fleetwood or is it just a well run and managed club?

I noticed the conference league the other week, I took a quick shufty after seeing Hartlepool had won 7.2 away cos I've a mate who is a Poolie. Half the league are teams we've been playing in the recent past, you can add Bury and a few others.
So I've just pulled up the PL table from 2000/01 and it's quite something, the majority of teams, not just Town by any means are on a steep up and down graph.
Man Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs, Chelsea and Everton obviously not affected
Beeston, Southampton, Man City and Leicester down to Div 3 and back.
Sunderland, Ipswich, Charlton, Coventry, down to Div 3 Bradford down to Div 4
Derby, West Ham, Boro and Newcastle down to Div 2.
Not sure what it proves other than I bet the Charlton fans that were sick and tired of finishing 8th in the PL had kept quiet..

Suttons season is quite incredible when you look at the top of the conference. Do they have someone pumping money in like Fleetwood or is it just a well run and managed club? Sutton certainly do NOT have any sugar daddy pumping any money in. They’re just a very prudent and well run club. In lots of ways they’re very old-fashioned and have very high principles, and always have had it seems. They hardly ever fire a manager and I bet they’ve only had half a dozen or so since at least the 1980’s. They have players that stick with them for years as well. Their supporters are the same. Have a look at their forum. They’re always very friendly and complementary to other teams, officials etc and they’re never nasty to their rivals. They’re loving the success they’re having right now but they’re philosophical about going up. If it happens, then great, but they recognise the problems it would cause initially. If it doesn’t happen, then at least it’s been a great and unforgettable season. That’s their attitude. I think they’re happy at the level they are at and I get the impression promotion to L2 would end up as a step too far and could change the club in a way they wouldn’t like. They’re still entirely part-time. They have an artificial pitch, like Harrogate Town did, and digging it up would be expensive and deprive them of a lot of income. They’re more concerned about the loss of a facility to the locals and how they could help out a local non-league side (Sutton Common Rovers) who share their ground.

That is proper grass roots football. They sound to have their feet firmly planted and it must be great to feel part of a club like that, which I guess the supporters do. That has brightened my day Epsom, thanks. Do you get to see them often?

That has brightened my day Epsom, thanks. Do you get to see them often? It varies how often I see them. We’ve lived in this area since 1980 and I’ve seen usually just 3 or 4 games a season, sometimes more, sometimes none. They include the famous 1988 win over Coventry in the FA Cup (the winning goal was scored by Matt Hanlan, our then neighbours nephew) and the loss to Arsenal a couple of seasons ago. I saw them twice in December when crowds were briefly allowed back. Like I say, they’re a bit unusual in lots of ways, but they’re pretty admirable really.

Absolutely horrible tackle on Gundogan and a deserved red. PSG have to be one of the dirtiest scumbag teams in world football, with head cunto Neymar at the top of the list

Great win for Man City especially with Jesus, Sterling and Aguero all sat on the bench.

You just knew they'd charge the ref after the next tackle against them. Well done to him for staying strong. He's a really good ref.

By the way, if the ref has communicated with the VAR for the red card, then that's exactly how it should work.
Say if you think it's a red, let him confirm it, give the red. No giving a card straight away then pissing around checking it for ages.

We could do with a few more refs like him in the Premier league. Quality.

It looks like forest and Wednesday are both safe mid table playing out a bore draw. I can't believe this Wednesday side scored 5 against Cardiff, I can't even believe they created 5 chances in the game. They look as shit as we do.
