    League Cup Fourth Round Draw (last 16)

    We definitely shouldn't get ahead of ourselves, and its only the Europa Conference League. But that's pretty winnable, IMHO, then we're looking at Europa League in 2025-26 and a tilt at the Super Cup if we secure that one.

    League Cup Fourth Round Draw (last 16)

    I'm a bit doubtful we'll get a lucrative TV match in Round 4. It's at a stage where they are virtually guaranteed a couple of big all Premiership clashes and, to be honest, they'll probably reason that will put more bums on seats than ourselves, Port Vale or Mansfield most probably losing to a...

    Exeter City vs Luton - EFL Cup - match day thread.

    Don't want to jinx it, but does anyone know any decent hotels in Ghent taking bookings for 2024?

    Cheltenham vs Exeter - Carabao Cup 1st round. Match day thread

    Over ten minutes without a goal. Defending far too deep and lacking in attacking intent. We'll score again, don't know where, don't know when. Taylor out.

    It could have been Paul Gascoigne!

    Knowing Russell and Lewis, they tried to book the flights on a stolen credit card and it got blocked. Northants Grecian may well be right that the Conference spell did us good in the long term, and possibly saved the club, although Russell and Lewis had been trading while insolvent long before...

    It could have been Paul Gascoigne!

    One thing we can be absolutely sure of is it would've been very, very brief. He joined Kettering a couple of years later and I am not sure he even lasted as much as a month due to the drinking. And the man appointed here instead of him in 2002, Neil McNab, didn't see out the season. It was such...

    Ollie Watkins

    Until they get injured, and then they're suddenly worth sod all. I agree it'd have been a mistake for Brentford to sell Watkins, but mainly because they are significantly more likely to go up with him than without and that's a gamble worth taking. That's the pot of gold, not a bit extra on the...

    A conundrum Exeter City v Stevenage Tuesday 21 January Kick off 7.00 p.m.

    I see your point, but the truth is that the crowd won't be anywhere near that if it's away from Wembley. I don't really see it myself, but the truth is that quite a few people go along because it's the "home of football" or something, but wouldn't go elsewhere. To give an example from rugby...

    Tisdale out brigade - Mk Edition.

    I think he might follow the Alex Inglethorpe road and take a more backroom role at a bigger club. He's fairly young, professional, steady and, whatever people's criticisms of him as a manager, has a good CV in objective terms. The brutal reality of first team EFL management outside the unusual...

    Tagg: “Regretfully, Paul has decided not to sign.”

    The law on restrictive covenants is pretty strict so even if there is one in the contract, it's unlikely to be enforceable. It's not enough to say, "to be honest, we'd rather he wasn't working for a competitor". There needs to be something much stronger - this is about highly commercially...

    Tagg: “Regretfully, Paul has decided not to sign.”

    I agree with the first bit of this (he's now effectively on gardening leave) but not the second. If someone on gardening leave takes up an alternative offer of employment, that's basically fine. The old employer stops paying them from the moment they start with the new employer (there's no...

    David Wheeler

    Aside from spectacularly missing Antman's point (that Wheeler has in fact gone from being managed by Tisdale to being managed by Holloway), you are obviously allowing Holloway's admittedly fun persona to distract you from his decidedly mixed record as a top level manager. Getting Palace and...

    RCAA (Rio Cricket Club) v Exeter City Official Match Day Thread

    AC Milan were also founded as a cricket club. True, but not ultimately that interesting, fact.
