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

Well I'd have taken a draw pre game, sure we won't concede a third like villa

Isn't it still 2-1?

came up on my phone as an erroneous equaliser
haha now they have equalised i have become mystic

I was very confused at the pub when that just came up
surrounded by villa and man u fans so its a bad night all round

luckily my mix up cushioned their 87th min equaliser

I used to look up to Uncle Neil as one of the mighty and unassailable twin peaks of him and Mick Buxton as the only 2 Town managers worthy of respect in my lifetime. Lol! the older you get - the more clowned you feel by football ppl!

luv2watch Bruce with his brow furrowed

"mad dog" Martin Allen at Barnet for the fifth time, fuck me that is some punishment. About 10 years ago he became a regular at Leeds Rd for a short period and was loudly telling anyone that would listen that he was applying for the managerial vacancy and posing for photos etc. When the chief exec found out he dismissed him from the shortlist as "unprofessional" and "a total fucking clown".

and so,

we are reported to be announcing Lee Bowyer as our caretaker manager today, with Robinson off to Oxford/wherever

how the wheel turns

"lee bowyer" "not racist"

About 93 results (0.28 seconds)

i genuinely believe he's mellowed both in temperament and opinion (and there's evidence of this), but he'll always have that mark

we have a few Islamic players in our squad and none of them seem to have a problem with him but obviously this isn't proof of much

no i'm sure he's changed i was just checking the stats

his mellowing from racist Canning Town thug to a calmer version of adulthood came when he left the UK to run a carp fishing lake named 'Etang de Bows' in France, apparently.

everyone's bliss is somewhere

bows' is now caretaker manager at the biggest car-crash club this side of blackpool

bows is a ledge

Six left, need twelve points.

From our six left, twelve points *might* get us automatic promotion. Six points might see us scrape into the play-offs (which is to say missing the play-offs now would require a mighty collapse, and goodness knows we can do it, but we've very little chance of making the last auto place). It's weird because we don't seem like a particularly good team this year, even by our usual standards. Mustn't grumble though.

WTF happened to Coventry today? Hope Woevil can do the same to nasty old Wycombe next time out.

Kings Lynn and Kettering have both had decent seasons this year, it wouldn't be out of the question for all three of us to end up with over 100 points this year. Weymouth and Slough can both get to 100 too but not all four since some of them play each other, which might end up being a blessing for us.

xp to tim, had a few friends who went to the game who described it an 'entertaining'

i believe it's part of our plan to finish just outside the playoffs, sell mcnulty and jodi jones and bathe in midtablesness for 5 years before going down again

Aldo - Can't believe I've been vaguely checking this thread from time to time and didn't realise until now that another Hereford fan was one of the main contributors. I've been to a grand total of two games ever, so not sure I can really nail my colours to the mast here, just my local-ish team growing up (near Bromyard). I follow the fan group on Facebook but it seems to be full of pricks, think this might be the case for every football fan group on Facebook though.

Haha, that sounds like one of the most unlikely things in the history of unlikely things.

I moved up about 6 months before administration and new house (and, to be honest, nearly twenty quid for Conference South) meant I never got to the Agombar/Lonsdale era. Season ticket holder in the Merton since the phoenix; been to all but a few home games, find myself going to less away games each season as the distances get further but pretty much hit every one within 100 miles. So many great days out and the first season in the MFL genuinely restored my faith in football.

I don't do the Facebook or whatsapp groups, the best forum Ive found is the 'saving Edgar Street' forum on pro boards (which might have recently been renamed something like Independent HFC Forum?) - still some tribalism and hangover from the old club but actually most people see the games the same way and rate the players performances the same way. The radio coverage on the website is great, and the video footage has been a godsend for the games you couldn't get to (or like yesterday when I kind of missed the first goal laughing at a steward wrestling with a wheel bin after the police told Redditch's owner to fuck off and open more of the terrace).

Probably a good thing I was too poorly to go and watch this, might've had a heart attack

"The Wolves celebrations seemed to anger Cardiff manager Neil Warnock, who refused to shake hands with counterpart Nuno Espirito Santo at full-time and said after the game that he "did not want to see" the Portuguese."

lol

yeah i read that this morning, always extra gravy on top when you piss off Colin. sounds like they did nowt but kick lumps out of us and hump the ball long all night.

It was a climax that defied belief and Nuno sprinted onto the field at full time without shaking Warnock's hand.

Warnock was then seen repeatedly telling Nuno to f*** off as the Wolves boss tried to shake his hand following his celebrations.

Nuno apologised after the game, saying his emotions got the better of him.

But Warnock said: "I don't give a t*** what Nuno says.

"I won't accept his apology. It's a lack of class (and a) total disgrace."

"I don't accept it at all and I think it's totally out of order. I think he was a total disgrace, I used strong words and I meant every one of them.

"He's got to learn that in British football you have manners and a bit of class when you've won a game. You've got to learn that I'm afraid.

"I don't think I'll go into my office until after he's gone. I don't want to see him tonight if I'm honest. I thought it was a great game and it didn't need to end like that."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Warnock lecturing on class is like Keano lecturing on gentlemanly conduct

no way is that kid 8

Neves is 21. Something isn't adding up

Ah apparently in Portugal babies have each month celebrated until they hit 1

This is Fulham's most important ever run of matches now, the last defence and hope against them vile twats getting back in the Prem.

i would love Fulham to overhaul them but i just want to be uncatchable as soon as poss

cardiff-millwall playoff final is a nightmare scenario but not as bad as both going up

Colin described us as the "so-called" best team in the league last night as well, he's such a beautiful guy

[bad redacted post about Stephen Kinnock, Nigel Evans, Cardiff fans and harbouring anti-Welsh feelings] I was really conflicted when Cardiff beat O'Leary's L**ds side in the cup that time.

It's weird I could swear I remember Villa getting all excited a couple of weeks ago

does dear old blandford forum still post

i'm not at kingsmeadow alas but lee bowyer and his boys are. enjoy the show

(yes we're going to lose 2-1)

Fulham in front, which is both great and disappointing all at once

Shame you’re not here at this festival of football imago!

Without Robinson managing you this is the least ‘London derby’ feeling London derby going.

My half time report: your keeper can’t kick, your 16 is alright, our goal was a genre classic.

Villa!

Was hoping to have a shot at getting promoted on TV tomorrow but on the other hand lol Cardiff gtf

i got the margin right. somehow didn't expect we wouldn't have a shot on target

afc ultras sating their bloodlust through calling ex-mk ben reeves a 'bletchley bastard' until he was absurdly substituted off

Gtf in Fulham! [Believe!]

Kingsmeadow sure did transform into an infernal cauldron of hate whenever he touch the ball alright

It's not even my favorite kind of goal but Nerves might have scored the goal of the season

Neves etc

you are hereby banned from the thread

yep, watched it again. banned

this is a hall of misery, begone

Putting that one down as ‘goalkeeper error’.
