@louorns You can’t compare GT and Boothroyd. Look across their seasons, GT remained committed to positive attacking can do football. After his first season, Boothroyd became more traditionally direct and more negative. So GT mode of positivity is Watford. Zola was fun but not our dna
It was a tale of two cities and two very different football grounds for an @FCBarcelona fan who turned up at the wrong St James Park last night 🏟️
The Spanish supporter, who made the journey to Devon from London, turned up at the turnstiles of Exeter City’s Adam Stansfield stand last night, expecting to see his team take on @NUFC. It was only when he showed his ticket to staff that he realised his mistake.
But he got to see a got to see a game of football – Exeter City staff sorted him out a ticket for the game against Lincoln under the lights of the real St James Park!
Adam Spencer, Supporter Experience Officer at Exeter City, said: “One of our volunteers came to the office to let us know that this guy had turned up expecting to see FC Barcelona. His English wasn’t great, but from what we could gather, he’d come from London. My guess is he’d put St James Park in his phone and then just followed the directions from there.
“He was pretty gutted and a bit embarrassed. So, we sorted him out a ticket and he got to watch a game at the real St James Park. He’d be welcome back any time.”

Another MP for Newark, Richard Alexander ('79-'87) was a bit gaffe prone.
Off on a trip, he heard a ticking noise coming from his case.
Distressed it was a bomb, he told airport security, and police carried out a controlled explosion.
It was his alarm clock. 😅

On the anniversary of Graham Taylor's death, I always think back to this wonderful tribute from Mark Pougatch.
He worked with Taylor for years covering England games for BBC radio.
9 years ago, football lost a true gentleman.
“We never lose at Fratton Park!” 😅
Charlton’s 96th-minute equaliser, followed by Pompey’s 98th-minute winner. 🍿
It’s one of the last #AlternativeAngles of 2025, but it’s also one of the best. 🤝

Shubman Gill may believe there is mutual "admiration" between the teams but a new-look India side and England's cooling interest in the IPL means there are few genuine friendships
Expect another feisty week in Manchester after the needle at Lord's

If a goalkeeper holds the ball for longer than 8 seconds, a corner will be awarded rather than an indirect free kick as now.
Refs will use a five-second countdown with their hands
EPPP system working as intended. Released by a big club, given a second chance and developed by #watfordfc, likely being poached for peanuts by another big club. One of the very worst things to be imposed on EFL clubs, of course lauded by the sports media as a masterstroke
