    Ethan Ampadu

    I understand that he was determined to go to Chelsea and once they came in did not really consider any other options.

    Caldwell out?

    Democracy is a bit like capitalism. A terrible system but the alternatives are even worse.;)

    Caldwell out?

    Happy to be in a minority over this (and anything else). I'd rather be right than popular, as a rule.

    Caldwell out?

    I disagree. These days I hate games against them, there is always menace and conflict in the air, it's an uncomfortable experience. Fun for the kids and uber-tribalists, I suppose, but now I'm old, I can do without the hassle. If we never play them again I'd lose no sleep, in fact the reverse.

    Caldwell out?

    Correct, my mistake! I just looked at the next game section on the web and forgot about the date... Principle applies, though

    Caldwell out?

    By a mixture of luck and judgement GC is safe now, surely? Everyone else is running out of games. Burton v Port Vale tonight, a Vale loss will surely doom them. As long as we completely are out of danger at Easter (2 or 3 points from Charlton and Cheltenham will be more than enough) I will...

    Final home fixture ECFC v OUFC - 12:30 kick off.

    RIP Ron Baynham

    Football fans who moan about the modern game should read Gary Imlach's book "My father and other working class football heroes". A lot of it is about Notts Forest and Luton Town and the appalling way they treated Stuart Imlach, Scottish wing wizard and team-mate of Roy Dwight and Ron Baynham.

    Ollie Watkins

    IMO the decision is probably not between Rashford and Ollie, but between Ollie and Toney.

    The Official Exeter City versus Burton Albion Matchday Thread

    Makes the condition of the pitch even more remarkable. Watching the EFL highlights shows how bad many of our rivals' surfaces are.

    Admiral Muskwe

    Channelling Cate Blanchett? Colonel Dr. Irina Spalko. "Three times - I have received Order of Lenin. Also medal as Hero of Socialist Labor. And why? Because I know things. I know them before anyone else. And what I do not know, I find out."

    Shrewsbury Town v Exeter City Matchday Thread

    Maybe we could play all our games on AI and win them all 5-0.
