English Football

Burton's promotion to the Championship is the stuff of legends. Next season they will be hosting clubs like Aston Villa and or Sunderland and Newcastle. No one expects them to do anything other than be relegated but they will enjoy the journey that's for sure. Those memories will last a long long time. Well done to all concerned.

I think the majority of fans felt Leicester City may stumble after Christmas, however they held their own and the nerves stayed. The foxes fought and have achieved a very impressive impress Premier League title claim. It look almost likely that Spurs would see them carry it over until the weekend, as Chelsea's defence looked a shambles in the first half. Genuinely, Tottenham didn't impress me at all - they created two well taken goals but offered little else. No doubt Leicester City deserves the title, they played for it and you don't win something like this by chance. It's earned! Did you think Leicester City would win the league near Christmas? What makes them so …

They were just ordinary people like you or me. No one should go to a football game and lose their life. I remember that day clearly. Those TV images will stay with me forever. The system failed these fans, it's not about blame, it's about justice and finally the football community and most importantly the families have their justice. We'll move on now but we'll never forget.

There's a big weekend coming up at the top of the Premier League so I thought it'd be interesting to get your thoughts - who will be lifting the trophy come May? I think we all WANT Leicester to do it. It would certainly be the most surprising triumph of my lifetime, made all the more thrilling by the prevelance of serious money at the top of the game. They have a settled, confident team, the league's top scorer, no matches against fellow challengers after Arsenal and no cup distractions. But do they have the depth and experience? One or two injuries could seriously derail them. Can they handle the pressure? Man City are the only team at the top with real experi…

@Blackville and I will be there this afternoon. I'll try and bring back back 2 or 3 defenders for Monday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I know it's a fortnight away but the international break has come just at the wrong time for us, as we're on a roll ATM & I can't wait to see the Fatman's return to NYS. Dirty Leeds have got nowt to play for, their fans are demonstrating against Cellino & I'd love to chant "sacked in the morning" to our shameless self publicist of an ex manager if we beat them. At the risk of setting myself up for a massive fall (used to it), but I'll go 2-1 Millers in a tense game.

Name three teams you recall playing at a much higher level, ones who you believe should still be there. 1. Preston 2. Wrexham 3. Bradford

The Stags have let Craig Westcarr go out on loan in order to get more first team football. http://www.nottinghampost.com/Nottingham-Forest-Notts-County-forward-makes-loan/story-28854093-detail/story.html Right now I would have taken him back here!

Neil Warnock is odds on favourite to become our third manager in this most crappy of seasons. If anyone can keep us in the Campionship, he can.

Just noticed @super_ram's side has taken it upon themselves to sack Paul Clement - I think this is a complete joke, I know there forms dipped but I still argue they're overachieving. What do you think? http://www.dcfc.co.uk/news/article/paul-clement-to-leave-derby-county-2946021.aspx?fb_action_ids=10153907667204104&fb_action_types=og.shares#lLjBLOHbtUV5xpZA.01

Sad to see it but Bolton look set to go out of business they have a winding up petition against them for unpaid taxes of 600,000 but also owe 172.9 Million I can't see any club raising that amount of funds in the football league

What is the worst and best ground that you have visited? Best - I liked the 'Deepdale' and Walsall's ground, yet for football feelings it must go to Preston whom have a ground worthy of their division. Worst - Northampton! Cramped space, awful facilities and just generally 'lower league'. What about you?

Luton Town have sacked manager John Still after four straight defeats, with the club 17th in League Two. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/35121874

Salford

This is sad no matter what way you look at it, no matter what team you support ,to see they have 2 weeks left to find 10 million . Their supporter trust have set up a fund raising to raid 100,000 pounds to think we spent 150,000 on Izale. I would never like to see anyone vanish out of existence and I hope they still exist in two weeks cause we play them at home. On the face off it when people moan about Ray trew and his wife be grateful for what they have done. Cause not everyone is fortunate as we are ,not everyone can splash 150,000 on a top striker and so on so Notthampthon a hope you get that money even though it's a lot of money But everyone Remember always…

Cheaper ticket prices, safe standing? Nah, what the Football League really needs is another rebranding. http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/34800391 Of course, the EFL name has nothing at all to do with the common practice abroad of calling the Premier League the EPL. And who cares about tradition anyway? It's only the oldest football league in the world after all. Of course, the ridiculous names of the divisions will remain, as they're still suitably stupid. "The incredible Division" and "The Utter League" will just have to wait until the next rebranding. I was also surprised to learn that 18,000 fans had been involved in the consultation process. Was any of …

Hi all, I’m doing a university project on English Football Fans views on the Syrian Refugee crisis and I would like input from as many clubs in the football league on a survey I have created. It has 10 questions and only takes about 2-3 minutes to do but I would like as much input as possible. Here is the link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/XPQC5JH Thanks a lot, James p.s.

This will be live on the BBC. We are ball number 30. My preferred draw is at home to Maidstone Utd. (if they make it) or FC United Of Manchester (if they make it) as it would be their first game ever in the first round proper of the FA Cup. Their opponents Sporting Khalsa started in the preliminary round and have made it all the way to the final qualifying round. I think they play at level 9 in the football league. It would be some achievement if they made it to the first round proper.

I challenge you all to think of a better match of manager to club... And the owner seems to have been disqualified again!!

So, Liverpool have unveiled Jürgen Klopp. Looks like a perfect fit to me. http://www.theguardian.com/football/live/2015/oct/09/jurgen-klopp-unveiled-new-liverpool-manager-live What do you think folks?

Tipped to take the helm at Doncaster.

Not particularly surprised to see that Brendan Rodgers has been given his marching orders. They never managed to live up to the season before last and they have wasted a lot of money, but they are still only 3 points off a Champions League spot. It's a harsh move. I can't help thinking that the availability of a certain former ex-Dortmund and Mainz manager may have had something to do with it. I've thought for a while that Liverpool would be the perfect club for Jürgen Klopp. He is ambitious, but also the ultimate football romantic, and for that reason I could never see him taking over at Man City or Chelsea. When he took over at Dortmund, they were very much a falle…

Dean Leacock has joined National League South Whitehawk FC. http://whitehawkfc.com/hawks-sign-dean-leacock/ What do you make of this? Are you surprised? Is this an all time low for a former Notts defender? What are your memories of Dean Leacock? Discuss...
