It is a strange kind of fuck-up when your only job requirement is to turn up with the kit, not a lot to fuck up there. Kit bloke ambles off coach, pulls hip-flask out of pocket and swigs. "Who are are we playing today?".

Steven Pressley has built a house of fun? Bloody hell.

It looks like Elvis has instilled a siege mentality. 10 point deduction, playing 40 miles away from home and 80% of fans staying away. Most of the hard work has already been done for him. But good job all the same.

let's see how sprightly they are come December when nobody's been paid for 6 weeks

Hunt having a medical at Palace, prior to £2 million transfer. No big surprise as it looked like Robins was planning for life without him from the first game of the season.

^ that man appears to be operating an air raid siren, one of several improbable things about the recent 8-3 win for Harlow over Barkingside. He seems to do it after every goal. I doubt anyone has the patience to check (seeing as the youtube clip is over 20 minutes long), but if you jump to about 8:20 you can see and hear him in action.

Just holding my phone while that thing plays, I feel like it's left me with vibration white finger

Ismael Klata, Friday, 30 August 2013 21:53 (ten years ago) link

dunno what it must be like actually operating it

Ismael Klata, Friday, 30 August 2013 21:57 (ten years ago) link

This could become Britain's answer to the Vuvuzela, thousands of air ride sirens going off simultaneously

Be great for that bulldog spirit. They could go all-in - get England dressed in khaki, replace the Wembley dugouts with trenches. Swoopycam could serve as a barrage balloon.

it's probably still more entertaining and musical than "Theme from the Great Escape" on a lone trumpet

that is a fucking disgraceful call

does karl henry play perfect blind through balls to the opposition on purpose or what

every single game

r|t|c, Saturday, 31 August 2013 11:43 (ten years ago) link

if we could just trick him into thinking he's playing for the other side every week it'd be like signing pirlo

r|t|c, Saturday, 31 August 2013 11:44 (ten years ago) link

if he's kicking it forward at all he's added a new string to his bow

RAWK of Agger's (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 31 August 2013 11:46 (ten years ago) link

honest to god we had fans who thought he'd had an off-season instead of being perhaps the most technically lacking player ever to get time in the Prem

RAWK of Agger's (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 31 August 2013 11:47 (ten years ago) link

bewildering lapses (and v v meagre remit) aside he's verged on competent tbf

lack of b2b support with him and barton both a-cloggin is what's made every one of our games a scrappy grind

You guys get more televised games than Man U!

Damo Suzuki's Parrot, Saturday, 31 August 2013 12:31 (ten years ago) link

Sako not even on the bench today. Mayhap the move to Forest is still on, on the quiet. i expect moaning from the moron wing of our fans (it's a big wing) but he looks eminently replaceable to me, especially on Champo wages.

last year's away was kinda turquoise and much nicer, the new one is described as "purple" but you can't fool me, that's lilac

either way it's gonna be in a bunch of clubs' nightmares this season

I used to be a Celtic fan. Not after today! What a day.

Darren Ferguson said Celtic made a bid for Lee Tomlin DURING the Posh game today. Stay classy Celtic.

talkSPORTDrive ‏@talkSPORTDrive 12m
Celtic bid for Tomlin made during the game, not sure when Posh saw it. But the player's agent would have known. And Tomlin subbed at HT.

srsly doubt the wisdom of anyone whisking tomlin away to the land of deep fried things

r|t|c, Saturday, 31 August 2013 17:45 (ten years ago) link

haha kevin lisbie is qpr's kevin lisbie

but seriously - you must have a former youth striker who frustrated all who saw him and is now stodgily eating up the lower leagues

Blimey, this Tomlin chap's a bit on the big-boned side, assuming GIS isn't lying to me. Time to dust down the Mark Yardley comparisons.

ailsa, Saturday, 31 August 2013 17:51 (ten years ago) link

xp erm... not to my recollection i don't think! our youth system has been pony for decades

angelo balanta, antonio german, richard pacquette i spose but none were really laden with high hopes and so it proved

little scott donnelly was v well regarded but i think he's fucked his career completely now by the looks of it

oh maybe dj campbell...
