I'm not going to comment on opposition sides pissing about at the back and presenting easy goals to us anymore. I jinxed it last week and one of our duds did a suicidal back pass that led to a goal and today we've conceded an equaliser while pissing about at the back. At least it's good to have a manager who get's furious with the players when they do this and calls it out as dud and seems to want to coach this shit out of them.

I'm pretty cool with playing out from the back and it's fun to watch, I've been getting pissed off with pundits tutting about how inappropriate it is for the little teams to do it, they should know their place and hump it forwards at every turn unless they're a proper Big Club, which is stupid as fuck at least in part cos the effectiveness of a tactic is as much about who you're playing as anything, if you wanna try Pepball in the Conference you gotta remember you're also veong pressed by teams at your level so why the fuck not?
Also the Windass goal was a lovely treat

our back line has too many garbage footballers with less passing ability than the average under 9's side for trying anything other than quickly getting it forward, preferably not straight to an opposition player!

Don't get me wrong watching Sam Johnstone with the ball at his feet is taking years off my life and he's only been with us for 2 months

I think if we concede a goal like that, Nathan Jones will personally eat the player responsible. The karmic cost: we simply don't score from open play any more

Albion back in this ffs come on Wednesday you feebs

not mentioning a pleasing current scoreline here because I don't want to curse it

look at Brum, a £30m squad and they can't even muster a shot on target.

the gaudy arrogance of the club last Tuesday night. Flashing their stadium lights and serenading their undefeated galacticos like it was last game of the season. I knew this was coming.

I didn't!

God they were hilariously shit though. And to think I thought we'd gone off the rails
― imago, Saturday, 5 October 2024 16:27 (four weeks ago) link
they were bang average on Tuesday night as well, unfortunately we were still going through a cursed run of pisspoor performances at the time. The funniest moment was the highest paid striker in L1 managing to intercept a goalbound shot and nodding it over the bar. But in the end we still let him through for an easy goal 15 mins later. Useless fuckers.

Didn't do so badly today! Table slightly more otm than it was yesterday
― imago, Saturday, 5 October 2024 16:37 (four weeks ago) link
correction: the 2nd highest paid striker in L1. Stansfield probably has a wardrobe full of gold bullion bars.

Couple of them must have gotten nicked given how he went off at the final whistle
― imago, Saturday, 5 October 2024 16:49 (four weeks ago) link
I'd be absolutely delighted for any club to win this L1 title and would forget all historical grudges, barring the current top 2 - both of which I fucking despise and wish nothing but failure upon them.

I'm surprised the Wrexham promotion bump has been so sustained. They've gotta start running out of juice soon. They're our next home opposition, bring it on tbh
― imago, Saturday, 5 October 2024 17:01 (four weeks ago) link
yeah tbf on them it seems to be more a case of winning momentum rather than thermonuclear transfer splurges. But tbh I've hated them since their Lee Trundle era and the current ownership are despicable.. so fuck them!
― vodkaitamin effrtvescent (calzino), Saturday, 5 October 2024 17:08 (four weeks ago) link
Wrexham apparently were p bad today
great result for Charlton that, love to see it
― nxd, Saturday, 5 October 2024 17:27 (four weeks ago) link
Yeah I hope their fans enjoy the ride and I look forward to them going bust. We’ve just scraped consecutive 1-0 wins against poor poor teams (Orient, Cambridge) but I will take the inflated league position all day long.

Dicing with making the trip next month...the game sounds like it's going to be a bit of a grind

our first choice colossus gk legend Nichols breaks down in prematch warmup and needs surgery - out for ages. Our no.2 keeper is recovering from an inflamed heart and is currently restricted by protocol for how long he can even train. 3rd choice keeper Chapman steps up - everyone fears the worst. Turns out he's a pretty good allround keeper who isn't only NOT shit but also growing in stature, game by game. Like it when stuff like this happens

Cambridge really circling the L1 drain this time, just one point from nine games. My son is no longer asking to go, he says he wants them to go down to the national league again so he can come and be their star player in 2032 or so and get them promoted to the championship, then get a transfer to Liverpool. But yeah for this season, if you other L1 people want to have an almost guaranteed win away day I would recommend it, good transport links and the computer museum is ten minutes away. Food at the stadium is crap though.

Bojan Radulovic, our Serbian/Spanish striker was doing an interview the other day. Generally these player interviews are so anodyne, but this lad delivered, bigtime - it was very funny. He said life was hard for him at first because he was living in Huddersfield and that is so crushingly dull because it is such a boring place to live in, with nothing to do there, no fucking hope, a grey hopeless shithole! But now he has acquired a flat in Leeds he feels alive again, thank fuck I got out of that monotone shithole (just slightly paraphrasing), he was basically saying, without realising how much trouble he is in now!

I think his parental home is in Spain, and he was just missing his supermodel/influencer girlfriend or watev. But I'm old enough to remember that Denis Law lodged in a very average terraced house in industrial Milnsbridge when he was a Town player. In an an era when it when it was a much greyer and grimmer, sootier, an altogether more fucking disgusting place to live!
