'Even allowing for inflation, this thread is not worth 198 Terry Francises' - EPL 2017-18

gotta go hard for the chance to field a second xi vs leverkusen

As opposed to vs rushden?

Obviously.

:)

We can fucking beat Leverkusen for a start

I was going to ask if Rushden & Diamonds are still going but it seems they aren't.

has deems from lofty tower conflated rushden and rochdale? j'accuse

No he hasn't it were a placeholder club for all such

that doesn't exist any more ;)

I lie: a phoenix has arisen

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFC_Rushden_%26_Diamonds

That's a good placeholder then int it

Too easy.

that is murder

Both goals have been great - but yes, way too easy.

and hector bellerin is the victim

xp Oh, they were beauties, def agreed. But Arse offer nothing.

Oof

This could get realllly ugly

absolute fucking murder

aye

Sane's been the key to all three goals, just gliding through them.

I reckon it could be 6-0 here. Citt too good in the final third without even putting the pedal down

Did a lot of ppl already leave? Stadium is half empty on the long sides.

it's been like that since the start

weather

(although I'm sure more than a few have already scarpered)

LOL missed penalty now.

LOL

Ara jaysus an arsenal goal would've made things a bit interesting

58,000?

Where have they plucked that from?

Incredible that the team one place below Arsenal hasn't won a single game in twelve matches.

Most competitive league in the world etc.

I still don't get how Everton are 9th because iirc they only lose.

Stop underrating Sean Dyche.

He doesn't need to win games to be good.

Dyche is the first guest on Joey Bartons new podcast (Alistair Campbell is the second, i forget who is third)

Last time I heard Joey Barton on the radio he was co-commentating an Everton game on the radio, banging on at length about how much he hated David Unsworth, until the main commentator had to shut him up by reading out the various bookies betting odds

he's just too real for lamestream sports media

the barton-dyche podcast was pretty interesting I thought despite barton's failure grill him on his worm-eating days

my brother pointed out it's a real shame it isn't called Barton Finks

Dick Barton

Dyche is the first guest on Joey Bartons new podcast (Alistair Campbell is the second, i forget who is third)

Sir Clive Woodward. Truly a podcast for the gentleman sports fan.

What's Woodward's connection with Burnley though?

58,000?

Where have they plucked that from?

Attendance figures are for tickets sold (including season tickets), not how many people actually turn up

Kieron Dyer on the True Geordie podcast is good. Thought he would be pretty unpromising as a guest (especially compared to Shaun Attwood and Robbie Williams), but its interesting!

I heard him talking about his dust-up with Bowyer the other day. It reminded me of that strange parallel universe where dirty Leeds were still in the top flight, and O'Leary was often imploring people to "leave his young side alone".

Dirty leeds messy leeds you can sleep in those sheets leeds

fyi ;) https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/02/28/lee-bowyer-breaking-lgbt-barriers-withcharlton-invicta/

I didn't know woke Bowyer had took anger management and abandoned racism, you'll be telling me he has stopped taking bare chested selfies posing with a fish next!

the day Leeds got relegated from the Prem, we had some fun bantz with a load of Leeds scum on the train. We'd just had a L2 playoff win in Lincoln and they'd just suffered an arsekicking at Stamford Bridge. It's hilarious that they still haven't been back in the bigtime since then. A real tonic in these tough times!

I thought Mansour's crew would have been better off buying Leeds than city, long term.

Dyer comes across alright, considering the negative view of him. True Geordie podcasts are LONG, but it means the guests get more into stuff properly than they would normally
