    I still reckon Leeds United should be banned from playing Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough, every time their fans come down there's bother between them and Home fans.

    well, looks like the Season will be disrupted again for "non-elite" football. That is football below the National Leagues North and South. One hopes that Marine will still be able to host Tottenham on Sunday for the FA Cup though.

    They won't be back in Sheffield this season at least @MrAllen1976, and given how both Sheffield clubs are going they won't be next season either.

    Yeah it's a big shame @m_burrell82, but like you I hope that match at the weekend can still go ahead, I can't wait for it

    Hi @Ross_Scope, 
                                 I am pleased with how my team performed over the festive period, slightly disappointed to only pick up a point against Brighton, no disrespect to Brighton, but extremely happy to take all three points on New Year's Day at Goodison Park. Please may I ask, how do you feel Leeds performed? Thank you.

    I agree @m_burrell82, I really hope Marine's game against Tottenham will be able to go ahead at the weekend, I will most certainly be a Marine supporter on Sunday :) Thank you.

    Hi @Ross_Scope, 
                                  How are you? Please may I ask, what are your thoughts on Leeds exit from the FA Cup? Thank you.

    Hi @WestHam06

    Surprise to be honest, I expected us to do much better than we did. I think there is a tendency for fans to overreact to such a result and accuse the team of not taking it seriously, but in this case I would just prefer to give Crawley the credit they deserve and say that we simply didn't turn up on the day.

    One of the many things I don't get about pro football, is that if a team has a bad run and loses a few times, they sack the manager! Eh? Surely it's the actual players that lost?!

    I like football i support a small club who battle against relegation in the Scotlands Premiership due to most locals supporting the old firm its always a struggle to stay up.I also enjoy watching the English leagues and as a fun of underdogs it was great to see Crawley beat leeds 3-0 nice to see a cup shock with a big win for the much smaller club.

    That's fair enough @Ross_Scope, and very commendable :) Thank you.

    Hi @poorsoul, 
                          How are you? Please may I ask which Scottish club you support? I too enjoy cheering on the underdog and it's great when their hard work pays off :) Crawley played really well and deserved to win the game. Please may I say, here on the community, we run a football competition whereby people guess the scores of the Premiership games each week and then a bonus game from one of the other leagues. If you would like too join in, please let me know and I'd be more than happy to explain more but no pressure :) Thank you.

    Hello folks I support Hamilton Accies we have the lowest budget in the Scottish Premiership but have stayed up with a struggle for the last 7 years.There are a few former accies players in the English premiership James Mcarthur and James Mcarthy of Crystal Palace David Moyes the West Ham manager and Billy Reid the Assistant manager of Brighton played and managed Accies as did Alex Neil of Championship side Preston. :)

    Sounds as though Hamilton Accies have a proud history and demonstrate the key characteristics in playing football for all the right reasons :) Thank you for sharing @poorsoul

    Sure do @WestHam06 we rely on bringing through young academy players into the first team and guys released from bigger clubs who never got the chance at first team football it has worked well for us so far.

    Good luck to @WestHam06 as well Davie Moyes is an ex Hamilton player so i like to see his team do well he is doing a decent job i think Declan Rice is a great player hope you can hold onto him if he leaves it looks like it will take a huge amount of money to sign him.

    Thank you @poorsoul, I really like David Moyes and think he is the right person for the job in terms of us moving forward. I think it's hard because our board aren't always the most supportive in terms of backing the manager, whoever they may be, so I hope they recognise Moyes really knows his stuff and to trust him to make decisions affecting the team such as signings. I also agree that Declan Rice is a great player, so natural and comfortable on the ball and given his age, his decision making is outstanding. He is worth millions but I would rather he stayed and in my opinion, I think Moyes is trying to build a team around him. Thank you.
