Throwing Bad Money After Good - the EFL and Beyond 2017-18

i was not aware of that (although fuck if i'm paying $140 to watch sheffield united for a year)

there's a way of choosing individual matches for $6 a pop

lol

Looks like Merthyr Town are in serious trouble, 80% of the playing staff told to leave because there's no money to pay them. 4 directors resigned in the past week.

Cavaleiro finishes an absolute peach of a team goal with a sick little dummy, 1-0 to the Wanderers

could've been 2 down tho, Ruddy is having a mare

What happened to Reading? They were top six like all season last year no? Did they lose key players?

they were giving us a game before i turned the stream off because the site kept trying to Trojan me

:(

Here are the shots from the opening goal as @Ivancavaleiro17 put Wolves in front. @sambagnallphoto #REAvWOL

SCOTT GOLBOURNE OWN GOAL SCREAMER ALERT

bless him :)

toe to toe with the Blades, what a season

jfc anyone watching this blades fulham game?

just following the updates :/

still trying to work out who's had the plastic surgery to look like Leon tbh

barmy game

wtf! That seems more like the Fulham that put 9 past us over two games last season and made Town look like amateurs. Only they didn't have to contend with SuperLeon!

it's the magic of the Champo

big game for us tonight vs dutty Leeds

GL against the Champions Of Europe, their away form is pretty shit but you don't get many easy fixtures in the Champo.

Viera sent off for 2 yellows, Alioski booked almost straight after, cue Wolves' fans having a quick sing of the Joy Division classic "Leeds, Leeds are falling apart, again"

enjoy this season tbh

ha ha! nice

Leeds had threatened to get back into it before Vieira went off but in the end karma was the winner

cue Wolves' fans having a quick sing of the Joy Division classic "Leeds, Leeds are falling apart, again"

luv2laugh@leeds

I put radio Leeds on for some massive club lols afterwards, but it was all very annoyingly restrained and sensible. There seems to be a bit a Christiansen love-in going on and he has "work in progress" protection at the moment.

they were threatening to equalize until Vieira got sent off, tho we cd've just as easily hit them on the break. one or two of the comments on the stream I was watching were sour grapesy, it's really fun being the only club in the country with foreign owners who've splashed some cash around.

but ultimately there's no shame in being beat by the best so what can they say?

dang - jodi jones, our best player by far, out for the season :(
only 20 yrs old too, hopefully there'll be no lasting damage

isn't it just fucking hateful when a team has one good player and he cunts in two 25-yarders when you've been on top

Stood in a bar with a lot of Hull fans who haven't even got the energy to be disappointed any more

QPR scored in the 93rd and 94th to come back from two down!

Fucking A! Buzzing for r|t|c

you know how the last hope of a scoundrel club outside of a transfer window is out of contract wasters

LEON BEST IN THE BUILDING

lol! I used to rate him when he was at Yeovil.

another injury time blitz!

:D

completely off topic...

Went to watch the local 'Town' play in the FA Vase last night. We were stood near a corner flag and a corner was about to happen. My friend says "Oh this will be interesting to see whether he places this ball in the 'D'"

Not kidding. The guy placed the ball at least ONE METRE outside the D, ref did nuffing. We just laughed our socks off.

~fitba~

Haha love it.

Last season we had a midweek match* at Mangotsfield. Immediately after kickoff we could hear that the ball didn't sound right when it was headed or kicked and told the linesman. He said "it must be fine, the players would complain if it wasn't". Straight after the ball went out of play next to him and when the player picked it up he said it needed more air. Lino bursts out laughing and when the confused player asks why he pointed at us and said "I was having a laugh a minute ago about players being too stupid to know when a ball's flat".

*This was in fact a rescheduled game, after the chief exec tried to thaw out a frozen penalty spot with a kettle of boiling water first time round and the ref was having none of it.

I am also getting used to players being given offside in their own half, seen it 5 times so far this season. The ref knew all about the one the other week, he made the player move the ball to take it twice.

A Stanley player got sent off after full time last weekend. Apparently his misdeed was to perform a little mime for the ref to show how (he thought) poor innocent Jayden Stockley had dived to win a penalty.

I don't know if it was a second yellow, but I think a mime is probably worth a straight red.

Dean Windass once got three reds in a game for Aberdeen I think

Windass was initially dismissed for two bookable offences, but his initial dissent at Dougal earned a further red-card equivalent.

To compound matters Windass ripped up the corner flag and threw it on to the ground on his way to the tunnel, securing another eight points.

http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football-windass-sent-off-three-times-1293795.html

I can remember Windass repeatedly moving the ball a few yards forwards and making gestures behind the ref's back, in his face every decision. This was in his 2nd Bradford City stint, and I've never seen a player undermine a ref's authority and continually take the piss out of him so much and only get one yellow for it. He was a complete arse, but it was a very entertaining bit of pantomime villainy I suppose.

managed to get my ticket for Wolves v Brentford, 2nd of Jan. nearly sold out already. as my brother said: "where were they when we were shit?"

In this age of digital season cards and big data, there must be a reasonable way to fuck off glory supporters to the back of the queue and make them feel like the shallow opportunists they are. just jokin

They have a fan categorisation thing at Town that puts some fans to the front of the queue and it is has been quite controversial, they have a sliding priority scale of P1 (priority) onwards or something. I love the amount of butthurt it creates amongst people who see themselves as uberfans but don't make the P1 cut. When I read some of these fuckers comments I start siding with the glory fans tbh.
