<3 David Wheeler.

As far as I'm concerned, Rupert Murdoch embodies a lot of what is wrong with society and, while I don't kid myself it will change anything, I make my own mini protest by not buying any of his newspapers – if I'm honest, it's not a huge hardship as there isn't much in them to interest me in any case.

Unfortunately, it's a bit more difficult to keep abreast of all the football action without subscribing to Sky, but at the minute I'm getting around it by utilising my dad's log-in details to watch games online.

He needs to become acquainted with wiziwig, but good on him for hating Murdoch.

opinion of smithies is probably the most divided i've ever seen for a keeper. what's the deal? it seems to be something a bit deeper than sour grapes extremism or the usual awesome shot stopper/clown otherwise review you'd normally get

A lot of our miserable fuckers never get bored of critiquing Smithies which is odd considering he is probably our best keeper since Vaesen. They will soon have something to moan about with Murphy who recently got lobbed from 36 yards. I think the reason the club sold him was because he was the 2nd top earner and I don't think they will be offering that level of wage any more. The more balanced posters on our board are sad that Smithies has gone and consider it a derisory fee, the haters are feeling vindicated.

I just re-watched the penalty shootout at Wembley, that Smithies vs Simonsen moment was glorious and pretty much his defining moment at Town for me (╯︵╰,)

i am having weirdly ambiguous feelings towards Birmingham under Gary Rowett

ace manager is GR and one of the more likeable managers from recent brum history, it is hard not to wish him well

xelab, Friday, 21 August 2015 19:48 (eight years ago) link

bombsover# (Noodle Vague), Friday, 21 August 2015 19:50 (eight years ago) link

It looks like Butterfield>>>Derby is completely back on, so fuck them indeed - i hope they end up in receivership, fucking boring no-mark club and city.

meanwhile, i really cannot afford to go to the pub tomorrow, fiscally or spiritually, but i fear i may have to demonstrate to my Hull compadres that i'm not prematurely shook

bombsover# (Noodle Vague), Friday, 21 August 2015 21:25 (eight years ago) link

if that isn't blasting out at St Andrews on a match day when the team walks out, they really need to look into it.

Very much a karmic payback result for Bruce today. Lol 9 minutes!

xelab, Saturday, 22 August 2015 20:03 (eight years ago) link

MC Whistler (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 22 August 2015 21:30 (eight years ago) link

it looks like Bowyer hasn't gone yet, the board want to struggle session him a bit more first.

xelab, Saturday, 22 August 2015 22:39 (eight years ago) link

David Wheelerwatch: shot goes astray during pre-match warm-up, breaks wrist of his girlefirend; scores goal against Sunderland; recommends reading matter in his column in the Express and Echo:

While we're well used to some fairly long coach trips, we were very happy to fly most of the way to the Stadium of Light. Nevertheless, there was still a fair amount of travelling involved and I took the opportunity to get some sleep and catch up with the latest issue of New Statesman and How Much is Enough?, a fascinating study of wealth by Robert and Edward Sidelsky.

Love him so much.

back to the normal for coventry
"Coventry City fans have expressed their disbelief at being told they cannot use the new railway station set to open at the Ricoh Arena next month.
Train operator London Midland said the hourly passenger service would have 75 seats - the stadium has 32,600"

oh our forum has been giving him almighty & deserved shit for that for years, you'd think he'd change it

Yul Brynner playing table tennis with a deviled kidney (imago), Friday, 28 August 2015 20:58 (eight years ago) link

i thought he was gonna be a big deal, what happened

r|t|c, Friday, 28 August 2015 21:01 (eight years ago) link

well h8 to remind u of the trauma but that famous jackson 1-0 at ours right, well he came on and did brutal things to aaron hughes that day, u probably have that seared onto an obscure part of ur cerebrum. he basically still runs down the left, with or without the ball, and makes terrible decisions. he cd still hack it at this level but he needs a major awareness upgrade

don't u have a spry young thing from like swindon or non-league or something urselves, hope he's not called like @davo_cron7

Pre-twitter but our old winger Lee Elam let it be known that his nickname was "Bestie", which amounts to the same thing.

His name is "male eel" backwards; just saying.

lol i forgot about that

MC Whistler (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 29 August 2015 16:37 (eight years ago) link

I had to leave just after the first half but up to that point we could have been ahead and often were better than or matching QPR, too many positives to moan. I am not too dispirited or worried yet because we have an improving team here, we just need that transfer window to fuck off.

xelab, Saturday, 29 August 2015 18:08 (eight years ago) link

I was talking to my brother + my step-dad at the game today and they both hate Smithies, I was weakly arguing with them about his superb distribution and lightning shot-stopping skills. They countered that I was too much of a vicarious fan for the last 5 years to know shit!

xelab, Saturday, 29 August 2015 18:14 (eight years ago) link

my old man does that line on me if i ever express an opinion he doesn't fancy
