The Cunt With The Bell: Resurrection - EFL+ 24/25

Wrexham apparently were p bad today

great result for Charlton that, love to see it

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!

lolll

i mean, serbia

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!

thought thread bump might be for this

the glitz, the glamour

Not too proud to offer Tim some congrats for belated supremacy. Decent outfit this season looks like. You will say nothing about our own playing style that I do not already, painfully, know

we beat Tim's lot quite comfortably but I still wouldn't call us a decent outfit, in fact I'd go as far as saying we are often inconsistent and frequently mediocre. We beat Barnsley twice without even getting into 2nd gear and they are above us. This is Wycombe's league to lose! (which kind of cheers me up - cos anyone but Brum)

hoping to pick up the Wycombe boss as the other bookies favourites look awful

hold out for R Martin tbh

Inconsistency is the name of the game in L2, we were apparently schooled by Hudds the other week, we’ve had a few games where we’ve really got going and mostly we look tidyish but not-quite-there. Dimitri Mitchell back from injury might make a difference.

I wasn’t there today, my friend said “We won a 0-0 there and got 3 points, been on the wrong end of many of those”.

this playing-a-bogus-fixture-against-some-fucking-ManU-U21s in the autoglass trophy is a new indignity for me. I refuse to acknowledge that this is a real fixture win, lose or d. As far as I'm concerned it was a behind closed doors game to improve match fitness and couldn't care less about the result. I will never accept bullshit fixtures like this as legit.

REG dive secures massively undeserved penalty equaliser lmao

followed by a weird red card for our captain

it sounds like your headcase manager is still riling up players to commit gbh!

congrats to the Shrews for such a good result

for both the pen and the red were from completely unnecessary challenges

we never get more than a point against 10, often we get nothing. Literally no advantage for us!

was starting to think our injury woes might be over, the starting XI barring Helik on the bench, was for the first time in ages, our strongest. Then Healy and Taylor both limp off sounding by worrying comments form local bbc, looking long term injured ffs

Leaburn has gone close twice now, should have just equalised then!

so as you can see, we play extremely lovely and effective football

should have drawn though, our expensive summer striker missed an open goal from 2 yards...again

thank fuck our keeper was awake for that quickly taken free kick at the death, that would have hurt

i'm taking a sabbatical

I'm Frankie Lamps

Fwanks for the memories

frankly my dear, I'll be gone in march
