Barnet drop out of the Football League and into the unknown is a post from: Just Football

by Tom Furnival-Adams

When Edgar Davids reflects upon his football career, his 36-game spell at Barnet will surely be one of the most memorable periods not, albeit, for the same reasons as his Champions League-winning stint with Ajax, or his contribution to three Serie A titles while at Juventus.

On Saturday, League Two side Barnet suffered a 3-2 loss at Accrington Stanley in which player-manager Edgar Davids was sent off after a second booking. Following the match, the day got even worse for 36 Barnet fans when their bus broke down on the long trip from Lancashire to London. For an hour they waited on the side of the highway and even watched as their club's first-team bus rolled by.

Lanterne Rouge: As a Plymouth fan, you've mentioned to me that you are still worried about the drop - it's quite possible mathematically but will take a chain reaction of perhaps sub-nuclear proportions for Argyle to go down to the Football League.

Relegation From the Football League is Not the End of the World

thetwounfortunates at related • 0 views

[T]his year's League Two relegation battle is quite remarkable. Not just for the closeness of thefight, but for the teams involved. All bar one have recently spent time in the Conference and all bar one have gained promotion to the League since two-up two-down was introduced from non-league's top tier.

A Brief Introduction to the League Two Relegation Candidates

thetwounfortunates at related • 0 views

[W]ith ten games or less remaining for virtually every Football League side, most supporters have a pretty good idea of what the next few months holds in store for their team: a promotion push; mid-table obscurity; or a fight against relegation. Honing in on the bottom of League Two, a small but significant five point gap has opened up between Bristol Rovers and Barnet in positions 17 and 18 respectively, leaving seven teams adrift and in danger of playing non-league football next season.

The Ethics of Soccer Sponsorship

Indeed, sponsorship has become yet another facet of the game to get nostalgic about – a marvellous post at the Football Attic recently confirmed the fact that certain advertisers seem to ‘suit' certain clubs.

A lot of Fulham fans didn't like the cut of Sanchez's jib.

There was always something inherently contradictory about Stan Flashman. He is, perhaps, best remembered as the "King Of The Touts" (often with the prefix "Self-Styled" attached to it), but when he craved respectability he would rebrand himself as a "Ticket Broker." Ultimately, though, he himself stated that he didn't care what he was called as long as the money was right.

Whether something has happened to him during his time at Chelsea perhaps he bet with John Terry that Villas-Boas will not get sacked before the end of the season, and the loser had to get a god-awful haircut?
