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

it looks like 5 absolutely crucial promotion/playoff/relegation deciding fixtures today - best league in the world etc. Be an entertaining sideshow for me while Town are getting humiliatingly arseholed by in an exhibition game against the EPL champions.

Whenever I see Neil Warnock the only thing I can think about is the fact his entire hairline is beyond his head's horizon.

a) loooooool

b) i wish it was otherwise but i can't see that cunt not getting a win today and promotion. which as other people have said to me, looking on the bright side, means he'll be unemployed by November. but still :(

starting Gibbs-White you cheeky monkey Nuno <3 <3 <3

always enjoy pundits searching for new ways to not describe Cardiff as a bunch of fouling hoofballers

remember when Paul Clement was the great white hope of English coaching?

fucking fucking fucking fuck Birmingham fucking Shitty

oh for fuck's motherfucking sake

Birmingham deservedly two up. Fulham have completely choked.

Reading ably demonstrating why we was shit two years ago

Bolton!

Le Fondre came on as a sub at 0-0 and scored, Forest scored twice in three minutes and Le Fondre has just set up two to make it 3-2.

every journeyman striker has to have that "moment"!

god knows he never had one at our place

lookit we're on the telly

look out for a portly chap with lots of hair and a dälek tshirt a little behind the goal

This morning I realised with a mixture of horror and relief that I will be out of the country when the L2 playoff final happens.

lol, i've got to juggle between the cov game & eurovision on saturday evening

I'm going to both the semis (at least I think I am; if we lose the first leg 6-0 or something I'll probably forget about taking the time off work). Somehow this makes the whole winning (or failing to win) promotion seem a lot more abstract and therefore less stressful.

The last time we were promoted (AKA our fourth promotion in 100+ years) happened when I was away too. We were in Paris and I found some pub that was showing some prem football and I thought there'd be a final score or similar but there wasn't. I found out we'd gone up because friends started texting me congrats.

a mystifyingly still-popular variety show of d-list no-hopers in gaudy outfits..............or coventry!!! haha didn't expect that!!

aw, well good luck tim, at least for the semis :)

xp haha

Likewise! For a bunch of reasons I'd like Cov to get to the final.

Boring and slightly dumb article about my lot: https://www.theguardian.com/football/the-agony-and-the-ecstasy/2018/may/11/paul-tisdale-manager-arsene-wenger-arsenal

I expect a few more of these as Wenger leaves. Once he does, three of the four longest-serving managers in the top 4 divisions will be at fan-owned clubs. One of those is in the play-offs, one's just got promoted and the other (Wimbledon) has survived its first season in League One. There is an interesting piece to be written about this, I think, but the article I've linked is not that piece.

"Like in tennis, we lost one set point and now we must be ready for the next one. I expect in a few weeks we are going to be up."

Jokanovic has done it for Fulham now, it seems wrong talking like that before you've even got through the first 2 legs ffs!

2nd season in League One thankyouverymuch

Yeah soz.

Premier League winning manager - bearded
Championship winning manager - bearded
League One winning manager - clean-shaven
League Two winning manager - clean-shaven

The moral of this is ...... obvious@kmflett pic.twitter.com/WC2ATGSPtU

obv that is a pro-beard tweet, but now I'm an established highfalutin prem bigshot - I see it more in an anti-English manager light:P

I assumed it was pleasingly pro-bald.

well that was first drew me towards it, tbh :)

Conte should be taking notes.

An old friend of mine (*friend* used in the loosest sense - a horrible bastard I knew is closer to the truth) used to play for Accy Stanley under Coleman back when they where still in the Unibond. He had a story that they beat some scary side of scouse drug-dealers and gangsters and had flee to the coach before getting beaten up. It seemed funny at the time, and strange that Coleman is still in the game and on the way to league 1 "household name" status!

actually for the 2nd time I think. they did us under him in the FA cup when we were L2 and some big P/T fatman called Gouk did a Ronaldinho on us.

Tranmere Rovers back in the bigtime :)

Ridehalgh sent off in the first minute for them as well.

just in time for the new HMHB album!

could have played 4 legs and we wouldn't have scored

sorry for your loss :(

lol

WATCH: Coventry have snatched a late equaliser against Notts County at the Ricoh Arena from the penalty spot.

But should the penalty have been awarded? 🤔
