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

fucking cardiff

the manic street preachers of football no less.

awwww :(

Sunderland basically need a miracle at this point, don’t they?

no, nobody needs that

inordinately proud that i called it back in August btw

oh surely you'll be missing this tin-pot shit-fest erm.. I mean best division in the world obv!

1-0, liquid football lolololololol

Nuno going nuts like it was a last second winner

sorry i meant i called Sunderland going down, our season has been beyond anything i'd've imagined last summer no matter how drunk

good news for our future Prem rivals, Birmingham are trying to make sure Neves spends the summer with a broken leg

We've never done automatic promotion since the 80's. Almost did it in 2003, but a suicidal backpass at Cheltenham by Pawel Abbott condemned us into the L2 playoffs on GD, under Torquay in the last game of the season. I sincerely hope something similar happens to Cardiff.

still think they can blow it

from the comedy thread where frankly it felt at home:

cunt referee just stood 5 yards in front of a clothesline on Costa and didn't even blow for a foul

finally a challenge so bad he had to send one off

Finding it hard to believe commentary questioning whether that was a red.

if he hadn't been last man back it was probably a yellow but a bad yellow

our promotion looks even more impressive given that we don't have the manager of the season or the player of the season apparently.

Champions!

yeah yeah, the next one's the hard one

(grats!)

Under no illusions about that.

Such a fine day. So why are Brum and Sunderland winning?

This is how you win the league in style iirc

Hull have been 1-0 up, 4-2 down and are now winning 5-4 at Bristol

5-5

Also Sunderlol brought back the lolz

Burton still got a shot at staying up

Ha Burton turned it around :D

Oh Sunderlol are already relegated!

the brakes are staying up! cya next year aldo

Totally unexpected today, I had a bad feeling as Kettering have been on a good run but offered nothing. I suppose that's what conceding three in five minutes will do.

Biggest shock today was Gosport winning 7-0. That raises their goal difference to minus 107.

Today was also a home farewell to Rob Purple. A great servant and we'll all remember the opening goal at wembley, the first goal at Alvechurch and the league winning goal at Biggleswade.

come on Forest

Nuno all serious like: "it's not over yet, we still have 2 games to go" <3 <3 <3

luv too love Nuno. PL worthy beard, too, well in advance.

Biggest shock today was Gosport winning 7-0. That raises their goal difference to minus 107.

Which means they are on the same points and goal difference as Dunstable, and as things stand will stay up on goals scored (35 vs 25). Last thing to decide in the league bar the playoffs.

Dunstable host Gosport on thursday.

classy Leeds Utd don't mix football with politics, besides just a little bit of ethnic cleansing and genocide is not something Billy Bremner would have gie a fuck about!

He added: "This was a carefully considered decision and we knew it would be controversial, but this is about people not governments.

"It has never been my intention, nor that of the club, to get involved in a political debate in Myanmar.

"However, if because of the tour we further highlight the ongoing serious issues in certain areas of the country, then maybe that is a positive thing."

yeah I'm sure Liam Cooper has some very interesting and articulate opinions on the geopolitics of southeast Asia and will air them vociferously during the tour. But this thick cunt who owns Leeds has some broadcasting interests in the region and trying to spread the Leeds UTD Brand. Couldn't have happened to a nicer tho!

nicer club

i hate leeds

true colors.

the funny thing about the Peacocks is that they would have been a much better Mansour investment than Man City were (as was posted by LG on the prem thread), but such is the vagaries of evil oligarchs choosing their playthings, that Leeds have had a succession of terrible owners/asset strippers/clowns/jokers etc in the last 15 years that have ensured their consistent mediocrity with the odd false hope of the bigtime again!

Karma works

Gosport beat Dunstable tonight to go above them by 2 on goal difference. All to play for on Saturday.

Kings Lynn are now the only other side who can get to 100 points but any of the play off teams can finish second because there's only 3 points between them. Imagine getting 97 points and only finishing 5th.

that is one fucked up top 5.

couple of years ago i don't think i'd be sat here on a Saturday morning wondering if Andre Silva would be a good buy

you're still here ffs

today's a big one for us, speaking of already-promoted teams who should piss off

any good relegation six-pointers?

that isn't meant to be as aggressive as it sounds, <3 to u NV and gl in the prem

It's down to Hull and Reading to stop Manstein breaking through the Maginot line, Western civilisation awaits...

no worries imago i think i get your rhetorical flourishes by now :)
