see you didnt mention the leeds scorer...?
deserved win for us today, although we rode our luck not to lose if that makes sense. hoilett was miraculously in shape and motm, aj looked sharp, faurlin put a great shift in. defence was still shonky and henry (who wasnt awful but hardly any good either) shouldve been punished twice for losing the ball dicking around on the edge of the box or thereabouts. sticks in the craw to see barton playing but he worked hard and many of his deliveries i grudgingly have to admit were a cut above this level

Found myself standing next to a pair of (respectfully quiet) Gas in our end; turned out that observing their pain as the minutes dragged away substantially enhanced my enjoyment of a deserved but narrow victory.

Oh wonderful, Joey has an alice band.
Imagining an alternate reality where Chris Kirkland managed to stay in one piece in his 20s. He looks to have played a blinder if these highlights are anything to go on.

My highlight of the opening day so far has been the Soccer Saturday reporter who described Wade Elliott as having Shoreditch trustafarian hair.
Davie Weir appears to be mutating into Peter Capaldi. Hopefully he'll embrace this and start doing post-match interviews in the manner of Malcolm Tucker.

It was positively Delapesque.

It was near-enough on the far post. Frightening. Possibly not as remarkable as that Mansfield penalty miss, though.
I bought a book about Rochdale today, quite excited. (Also stopped from getting on a bus for having food by a driver who looked remarkably like Micky Adams)

Also, look at that picket-fencing on their far stand. Marvellous.
Leroy dropping "my assistant manager at Gloucester City" into the conversation like it ain't no thang.

Ooh, that away stand at Exeter is the stuff of dreams. All standing, barely any tiering, L-shaping around the corner. Magic.

Getting a bit fed up with Sky continually referencing how long clubs have been around for "Preston v Blackpool, that's a historic game" etc, also this Sky rebranding of everyone not in the Prem as FL72 is fucking ridiculous.

it's nice when they occasionally acknowledge that football didn't start in 1992 tbh
― phasmid beetle types (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 4 August 2013 15:39 (ten years ago) link
Yeah, but they're going completely overboard with it. I expect this will finish as soon as The Best League In The World gets back off its holiday.

Oh duh, thanks, I've just realised they're doing it because most of TBLITW is going to BT and they're sponsoring all the non-Prem teams. Sorry, bit slow on the uptake, despite them referring it to the Skybet League a gazillion times an hour.
