Did Manesh used to be a rubbish League 2 defender or something? I'd be able to put up w/ his boringness if he was a footballer; if that's the most exciting presenter the BBC can get after 'im-off-the-One-Show then blaudy hell. Also, cover up the chest hair please.

It could be worse, it could be Jake Humphries. Instead he gets to ruin F1.
xpost this is as an alternative to Jake, not as an alternative to Lou-Jag's schoolboy fantasies. Though it could work either way, tbf.

I love how the title sequence on this mirrors ITV's The Championship in its emphasis on the fans because the players and clubs are, y'know, a bit shit.

They also have highlights packages for every game up on the website tomorrow morning, if I read their website right.

Wow. So have the Beeb got internet rights for all non-Premier English league matches then? Cos if I'd paid for a subscription to my club's site to get basically the same footage I'd be well peeved.

The club sites getting it first is what keeps Beeb from upping it til Monday, I think. Then again, last season I'm pretty sure Virgin Media had full highlights bobs too, so I'm guessing the Beeb just got their package?

Phil Jones all chasing Danny Wilson to his car, secretly filming Paul Ince agreeing MK Dons shouldn't exist, that sort of thing.
Also, just realised - Peschisolido's the first North American manager in Britain, isn't he?

Presumably. Although he probably qualifies as a Brit by now
Make sure you all watch the Charlton-Wycombe highlights. I can say with absolute certainty that it was the best game of the day. The goals don't tell half the story.

And the second one, Clinton has headed it at knee height. If you're a defender and he heads it that low you take his head off, it's as simple as that.

Oh, and I forgot to check, so I just found out, but AFC's Conference debut started with a 1-1 draw at home against Luton. Promising, eh?
― William Bloody Swygart, Sunday, 9 August 2009 22:25 (fourteen years ago) link
I can't remember ever having come away from a loss and getting such a positive feeling among our fans. We lost the game to a late goal, but after fifteen or twenty minutes of shocking stage fright, during which we could easily have conceded three, we totally held our own against a moderate Leeds side (and some genuinely astoundingly homer officials). If this is the best we're going to face in the division, the thinking goes, we'll likely be OK. Next up: QPR in the League Cup and Norwich City at ours in the League. Cripes.

The AFC Wimbledon game was really very promising, both goals were pretty debatable penalties (ours maybe a little more debatable than theirs!) but the general standard of play was a definite improvement to what I have seen from them in previous seasons.
After a bright start from us Luton bossed the first half but the second half was all AFC and if the game had been played for another 5 minutes I reckon we would have won it.
I still think we'll be high mid-table without making the playoffs, 9th or 10th maybe, but then again I also thought we'd get smashed on Saturday so I clearly know fuck all.
Lewis Taylor in our midfield is a league player in the making by the way.
I was out of the country last year so didn't get to many games, but I'll be at most home matches and a few away games this season so I'll hopefully posting more and lurking less...

apparently Exeter City had their biggest away support EVER up at Elland Road - but how many?
― djmartian, Monday, 10 August 2009 11:23 (fourteen years ago) link
2800 odd. Not sure where you heard that it was our biggest away support ever but it wasn't. Might have been our biggest away support for a league game but I'm not even sure about that, tbf.
― Tim, Monday, 10 August 2009 11:56 (fourteen years ago) link

looks like Pardew has hit Gold, a 6 ft 2 striker that is a goal machine at league 1 level, approaching his peak years at 27 and half, strikers aged 27-30 are often at their peak performance, they have both experience of positioning / tactics and athletic ability.
