Will we stay or will we go? This question will be answered soon according to information given to the Fans Forum. Here’s something we found tucked down the back of our sofa in the CFCnet green room. Written by Dave McCrossen and first published 5 years ago.

Can you remember a team called Leeds United? Well just over 5 years ago we played them and they beat us. Dave McCrossen travelled up to the match and this is an article that he sent in shortly afterwards.
It is a long drive back from Leeds, made worse when they have beaten you, but it gave [...]

Who on Earth could possibly come up with the daft — no, totally crazy — idea of playing Mario Stanic as a left back? I think that we should make every effort to find out, because after the performance he put in today, I want that guy’s lottery numbers. He was everywhere, tackling, running forward, [...]

This was my first visit to Wycombe. I seem to remember us playing there at some point in the [...]

Lets be honest, you never expect to learn much from these pre-season knockabouts. It is often little more than a chance to fill your veins with Chelsea once more after several months apart and to enjoy a day in the sunshine with some mates. Today proved little different.
The away end at Pompey is open, so [...]
