🚨Match From The Memory - Colchester 6-0 Crewe🚨

Today's trip to Colchester sees Steve remember the same trip #CreweAlex made in 2018.

The season had begun with a 6-0 win, but 4 games later that scoreline was reversed in Essex!

A great article that is about far more than football.
I went to Crewe, a town with a significant eastern European population.

Crewe Alexandra are looking to use multiculturalism as a competitive advantage, which I think is really cool

In the light of #crewealex unsuccessful appeal over the JKL red, I’ll be expecting every push in the penalty area rewarded with a pen and red card tomorrow. It’s only fair.
February 14, 2025 at 9:34 PM
I’ve seen lots about the ref in the #crewealex game last night applying the letter of the law. Applying that to the incident would mean no penalty as Buigel clearly initiates contact first. The first grab is clearly his.
