Realest Of Football, Realest Of Talk: Football League, Blue Square & Beyond, 2009/10

No, I'm pretty sure that they are that rich. Or at least willing to throw enough money at Sol to give the impression of being that rich. Plus also it would count as a new challenge for him to get a club promoted at this level, as opposed to, say, being part of Cardiff's umpteenth play-off heartbreak.

like sven he's obviously just gone there cos of the "four women for every man" thing. obviously.

my giddy aunt i've only just seen Notts County's away kit

And he's on a five-year deal. This, perhaps, might have been a factor in persuading him.

Would have thought it's because they're eying him up as a player-manager after Sven inevitably fucks off in two years' time.

Brian Laws demonstrating, post Jeffers assault on opposition player mid game, that he just hasn't got the nous or attitude to make it at the top level of english football.

"The kind of behaviour enacted on Tuesday night is completely unacceptable and does not represent what Sheffield Wednesday stands for and clearly sets a bad example for the game of football"

And in the midst of all last night's shenanigans, Swansea nearly became the first British team to force a match to be abandoned by being reduced to six players since that Sheffield United game from the late 90s.

No, actually, make that 2002. Surprised it was that recent.

Really wanna know what caek made of that one

didn't think wba came out of it well.

so Pompey are interested in Watford's 6ft 3 Central defender Mike Williamson

is Mike Williamson really better than Roger Johnson?

"Oh no, just hours after news of a multi-million pound takeover at Portsmouth and towering Watford centre back, Mike Williamson, slaps in a transfer request after Pompey make an official swoop for his services…"

"Think Brum`s £5m move for Roger Johnson as a fair guideline - and Mike`s a better defender"

how the mighty have fallen - Brian Little in the Blue Square North

http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/rss/-/sport1/hi/football/eng_conf/8227420.stm
Gainsborough have appointed former Aston Villa, Leicester City and Wrexham boss Brian Little as their new manager on a two-year deal.

Ugh. Just... ugh. On the plus side, we're starting to gel alright as a team. But... ugh.

Simon Davey's gone from Barnsley.

Nathan Tyson: idiot

Steve Claridge's new haircut is somehow making him look even less comfortable. No Jacqui Oatley means Manish and Lizzie get to resume their chloroformin' cousins routine.

According to the Daily Echo's Twitter feed, Notts County's newest recruit might be... Marek Saganowski. Who, in case you're unaware, is apparently being pressured to leave Southampton to improve his international chances. Erm.

I just read on a Celtic blog that Henrik Larsson was on his way to Notts County.

Notts County - Wacky Rumours

Lincoln City manager Peter Jackson has been sacked.

And Aidy Boothroyd is finally back in work at Colchester.

Mike Newell furious at lack of Grimsby fans calling for his head

oi swygart

are we gonna be 'avin you on saturday

n.b. this is the first game so far this season i think we might lose

'fraid not - I've got to keep money tight for rest o'month, so my next sighting of our beautiful boys is when we play Carlisle in a couple of weeks.

alas, well, you'll be getting the full lowdown on papa waigo n'diaye and his slightly callous subjugation of charlton's unsuspecting defence from the horse's mouth itself

provided the horse recovers from this nasty cold/flu/who knows anymore

Heartbreaking: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/paulfletcher/2009/09/carl_baker_and_stockport_an_ex.html

got a real kinda sense of sickening dread about qpr-palace tonight; usually you expect the general deep sigh crap but this one feels deep somehow.

phew.

If Briatore gets charged over the F1 scandal he can be forced out the club for failing the fit and proper persons test, so there may be hope for Jim yet even though he's already demonstrated that he's fucking clueless.

will believe both those things happening when i see them (especially in the case of the fa suddenly growing a pair). were that all to occur i fear all the people eagerly expecting the mittals to snap up the flav's shares are in for a nasty surprise.

we're fucked either way tbh. even if jim does get his p45 you just know fate has the colossal hobnailed kick in the knackers that is dennis wise in store for us.

(for the benefit of those lucky enough to support someone else i should mention that evergreen cheeky chappy former chelsea captaining career cunt wise is said by some to moonlight as a massive rangers fan since his youth, and supposedly still turns up at loftus road with his fam whenever he can. also he trashed the blue peter garden with sir les that time.)

or yeah yknow, roberto mancini is just biding his time obv.

The Mirror's Ian Winwood offers a textbook example of how not to do investigative journalism.

Hahahaha cue celebratory "You Played Yourself" Youtube link.

Get ready to miss Gavin Strachan

GET INNNNNNNNNN. you don't half wonder if there's more than a hint of coincidence to taarabt being out and that happening though.

not sure what to make of the boro result, but qpr also once bafflingly beat them 5-0 too in 1998, in thee single greatest flouting of the form book i've ever encountered. west brom arent that good surely.

forest average, blackpool doing well, keano nosediving - ner ner, told yall.

echoed (ipswich fan)

we maybe need a reading fan now

is it possible to NEED a reading fan?

90 mins +3, yes i see your pain

this happened a few times last season, and it is happening again. we had better merk exeter (sorry tim!) next week. erm and i am totally visiting my brother (studying at Leeds Uni) on the 3rd

Just watched the FL highlights show. Seemed to be a shitload of penalties awarded today, with about 1/3 of them missed. Three or four quality contenders for missed sitter of all time.

Hold on Louis, what's happening again?

Chances are your lot will win next week, City are looking decidedly shaky right now despite out awesome unbeaten run stretching to a mighty TWO games.

The way it's looking for the Argyle, it is imperative that we stay in this division.

The conceding of 93rd/94th/95th-minute equalisers in 2-2 draws. Happened about 3 times last season. :(

Pretty sure you'll stay in L1 tbh, there's enough weakness elsewhere

Am watching FL show on iPlayer. Luggy Sturrock looks like shit these days, eh? I mean, he more or less always looks like shit, but at the moment he really looks awful.

That Sammy Clingan goal for Coventry, tho. Whoa.

The future of Sol Campbell, the former England centre back who joined Notts County last month in one of the most surprising moves of the year, is shrouded in doubt after reports last night suggested that he had walked out on the Coca-Cola League Two club.
