A Mansfield reporter on Twitter reckons Beevers (their defender) was bitten on the arm. Seems pretty un-Benyon-like to me. [quote=''A Realist"] I think the defender was claiming he was bitten. He kept pointing to his arm as if there were marks on it. Ah, cheers guys. Did see the defender wavin...

Both teams were poor but thought we might well have gone on to win had Pearce not been sent off. Ref was awful and blew for everything - even, laughably, when Bodin pulled out of a challenge. Bodin was a lot better today though in a central role and Craig made some good passes when he came on. Didn'...

Let me start my just saying that is the worst game i have seen this season. However, I think most people would agree with me by saying I would rather play sh*t and get a point instead of playing well and winning . In our current predicament that is not a bad result even though Mansfield were worse ...

Is there no chance of Pearce being ready by Saturday? If not, I'd assume it'll be Cruise and either Hutchings next to him or possibly Tonge (with Manse going to RB)? Andy, the youth team keeper Dan Lavercombe was on the bench against Rochdale so I assume he'll be promoted to the squad again against ...

Ball is only a 61 rating, Pearce is our highest EVER fifa rating at 67! (A low Championship quality if you are not aware of ratings)

Wouldn't read too much into FIFA ratings - they had Nico as 91/100 for jumping last year and Karl Baker rated higher than Yeoman...

I think he's a bit anonymous and the game seems to pass him by when, as a central midfielder, Harding should be one of the players trying to grab the game by the scruff of the neck and influence proceedings. Against Portsmouth particularly, he seemed to shy away from the ball - even remaining rooted...

Some of my mates claim he had a big fall-out with Ling in training, but I don't believe that - he doesn't seem the type.

I suppose managers might feel he's not solid enough defensively to be play CM in League Two; perhaps that's why Ling shoved him onto the wing.

It's Seattle vs Portland. Ah, cheers. Didn't realise the Sounders' stadium was that big (CenturyLink Field, I think it is?). And yeah, Dempsey's an impressive signing - him, Obafemi Martins and Eddie Johnson is a pretty decent attack. Thanks for the info about attendances and the MLS' expansion; wi...

Good job we've got another right-back waiting in the win...oh. Manse RB next game?

Both Northampton's goals set up by Morris - two assists in two mins!

Which game's that then? I think the All-Star game the other week got about 35,000 so it would have to be a pretty major game to get double that. Open Cup final?

Just saying well done on the programme, a big improvement from last years in my opinion! At the risk of taking this thread slightly off-topic, just wanted to echo this. Very impressed with the programme, especially the stylish front cover - wouldn't be out of place in the Championship or possibly e...
