We have Newcastle away next, my stepdad and brother are travelling to this one. Their first away game in something like 18 months. Sad fucking starfuckers.

Saunders is a moron. How hard would it have been to look at the respective trajectories of Villa and Wednesday over the last 12 months?

FootballLeaguePaper @TheLeaguePaper 38m38 minutes agoCharlton CEO Katrien Meire, the subject of fans protests, has been appointed to the FA Council as a representative for the EFL
Maybe her first act will be to promote the tightening of fit and plopper rulings over club ownership etc :p

glorious first win under Zenga, a 2-1 demolition of Crawley

Only 3 changes from sat and beaten by Shrewsbury, probably the early doors reality check some of us needed tbh. But still enthused by Kachunga scoring again.

Nervy 2-1 win at Totton on Saturday, nervy 3-2 win at home to Mangotsfield last night. I think I will be saying nervy a lot this season.

we've given up on the simply trying our best to let them score, as it's obviously quicker just to do it ourselves. can't deny that it's efficient

Ethan Ampadu: Exeter City 15-year-old gets first-team chance while on school holiday
"The biggest compliment I can give him is that he plays like a 35-year-old," Tisdale told BBC Radio Devon.

p lol that his dad (kwame) works at arsenal academy and doesnt want him there

he's played a sight better than poor old Hamza this week
― Tom Watson in a fedora (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 10 August 2016 21:42 (seven years ago) link
People seem genuinely excited about Ethan; as I understand it he hasn't signed full pro forms (with being 15 and all) and may not do so with us.
(His dad played for us and coached with us until recently btw, so I think Ethan remaining in Exeter was more to do with not disrupting his schooling than some comment on the Arsenal Academy; it's quite possible Kwame doesn't want him there for some reason.

You'd think so, wouldn't you? But apparently they pulled the same trick at the weekend and had similar referee non-response. Weird.

I know it's much lower league but on Tuesday I think we had the worst refereeing performance I've ever seen. It's not an exaggeration to say he got every single call he was asked to make the wrong way round; highlights were giving a throw to Mangotsfield, then to us, then to them again and then awarding Mangotsfield the free kick for a foul then booking their player for making it.
Last season's best was flagging a player offside for passing to himself while dribbling with the ball, I think this outdoes it.
