EFL My Concubine - Football League and beyond 2016-17

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.

:(

i mean i guess it's pretty funny watching these clowns tripping over each other to be the one that gives away the goal, but still

:(

4 real guys, if you fancy a laugh check out Luton's 3rd goal

Oh there's been a 3rd

a beauty

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

sad to see that luton goalscorer and cameron mcgeehan has sensible hair now

(and good player) that shouldve read

rob green already getting ironic cheers from leeds fans every time he catches the ball

rosler too shit to manage a revenge win though

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.

15, motm at centre back, and narrowly pipping hamza choudhury to the afro of the week award

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

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.

Meanwhile Brentford keeping it classy:

that's gotta be 3 ungentlemanly conduct bookings

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

referees are useless tbf

They were swarming our keeper on saturday as well in the same manner, fucking low level tinpot wankers they are- I take back everything good I have previously said about them

the motherfucking enemy within, this guy. and to think i used to buy him every year on Footy Manager

#crap90sfootball

feel we must have done brentford's boldly innovative routines before

lol at all of this

we're about to sign a straight up rugby player (and Euro 2016 STAR)

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.

Above is the first illustration and each programme thereafter will have a similar theme as Wolves progress through the season, facing 23 separate opponents along the way.

looking forward to the wolf taking on this guy

curious depiction of a biscuitman

i assumed that was the silver paper he was wearing

looking fwd to matchups vs a tree, a tractor, a terrier and a bee this season

perhaps next season eating some cherries and toffees after vanquishing a swan and a potter

Airman Brown 7:15AM
My understanding is that there is only one of these letters and that the matter has been resolved amicably and without any "contract".

hmm

yeah this is murky

our fans have not covered themselves in glory of late, let's just say

anyway my tickets arrived with no letter. hail katrien

here's the club statement. shitfight in a bovril http://www.cafc.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/charlton-statement-3243379.aspx

Nahki Wells just silenced the best fans in the world!

well apart from when they were loudly booing their players off at h/t

BEST LEAGUE IN THE WORLD

fucking weak ref gave a pen for ball to hand just while we were in the ascendant and had them under constant pressure

Fucking get in Payne!! Phil Brown said he should have spent another season of L1 development. Nah man, the kid is ready.

Zenga boys finding their rhythm

34% possession, shots on target 5 to 1

bottom 5 at this moment: Blackburn, Leeds, Preston, Newcastle, Derby

hearty lols

so stoked for calzino too :D :D :D

My bro and stepdad were there today and I'm completely jealous. lol with your predictions Ollie, he was tipping Newcastle Utd yesterday as a bet of the weekend.

Possibly Rafa had benched Ritchie today because he expected an easy win. He is in for a bit of a shock in this division if he carries on in that fashion.

he'll not be there much longer at this rate

and finally they're up and running! a 3 goal win and a clean sheet at Villa Park! only Rotherham I know but i'm not used to this shit. didn't see the news yesterday so James Chester was a lovely surprise; might actually have a proper defence for the first time in 3 years. congrats to NV and calzino too. been a good day.
