EFL My Concubine - Football League and beyond 2016-17

He did! I was driving and had the radio on when that happened. Caught the post-match interview, where Gladon said 'Eh it was shit but I hope I'm still top of the pen-takers list', to which the reporter wryly said 'No. Your manager just told me you're defo not gonna take any more pens'.

You had to've heard it :)

Burton you beauties!! been sat here refusing to post for fear of kiss of death

cool gibberish bro

are they gonna be allowed to do this all season just so's the first ref who failed to book them doesn't look stupid?

Dean Smith is a fucking cretinous knuckle scraper and is making Brentford + their players look very bad. Most teams will probably start giving it that extra few % just to teach them a lesson now.

Pearson had 2 options

tweak a top 6 side

rip it apart

done neither

no shots, no passion, no goals, no points.

get rid now

never seen such an abject performance, and start to a season

if anyone disagrees, your wrong, and arguing for the sake of it

:D

Steve Bull is making a pre-match appearance at the White Rose club today, not that I'll be in that fucking horrible den of knaves. With a few exceptions the very idea of drinking with football fans makes me shudder these days. I predict a very tight game today and maybe Van La Parra will injure a couple more people in the upper hospitality area with his errant shooting :p

Holloway is tipping us to win 2-0 today, so the job is definitely fucked :(

why doesn't that douche shut his cakehole?

tight is right i think, or at least i'd settle for tight. my take on the these first few weeks is that your general organization and teamplay is way ahead of ours at the moment, we seem to have the flair to get back into matches when our defence's fuck-ups lead to the inevitable

on the other hand, we're likely to have a new lineup again so god knows

Bristol City striker Jonathan Kodjia is set to leave the club and join Sky Bet Championship rivals Derby County in a multi-million pound transfer.
Kodjia was missing from City's squad for today's big home clash against Aston Villa at Ashton Gate.

The Rams tested City's resolve with a bid of £10m earlier this week and the Post understands the two clubs are close to agreeing a deal that could eventually net the Robins a club-record £14m.

sounded tight. looking forward to seeing Danny Ward's alleged wondersave.

vydra has now signed for derby. £8.5m

darryl murphy, 33, to newcastle. £5m

alfie mawson to swansea, £5m

shane duffy getting reamed on his brighton debut as i type, £4.5m

Didn't get a decent view of the Ward save because I was in the lower North side and even missed the goal today, but it looked top class on the Sky highlights and was deffo two points gained. I know clicking on Murdoch shit is bad, but I can't deal with ch5 any more. That save was at the point where we were wobbling under pressure and used to crumple and lose games last season.

i would've been very happy with a point so i'm not heartbroken at the result, especially given where we are in the season and the fact that Hull FC managed to win at Wembley today.

we seem to be in the habit of not getting properly started until the 2nd half tho.

Well Zenga really rated that save as well and he knows a thing or two about the ol' goalkeeping game.

Gary Monk "If not for the goals we conceded we would have won the game, definitely."

is it just me or did he not seem quite this much of a fuckwit before

mustve boiled away what little brains he had wearing his v neck sweater all year round

Yeah I ended up feeling bad for him when Swansea sacked him. Used to seem halfway competent too

He must have known what he was walking into and his short term job security prospects, he is only cultivating the v-neck sweater look for his CV

You'd think all that Brylcreem on his head would act as a coolant maybe

just seen that thing in the mail mentioning by-the-by that rb leipzig had a 10m bid for reece oxford rejected. seems extraordinary if true. like i know rangnick's a spod but what data is he even looking at for that sort of punt

Transfer News Live ‏@DeadlineDayLive 1h
DEAL DONE: RB Leipzig have signed Nottingham Forest's Oliver Burke. Fee €12m. 5-year deal.

BBC are reporting it as a £13m transfer .. wtf, it's like someone in charge has been drinking too much synthetic caffeine.

I wonder who is going to make the big-time desperado move for Rhodes in this window? It is not looking like any lower prem suitors will come knocking, he has sort of boxed himself into a Rhodes paradox or something.

A bunch of cunts pn the Express & Star comments were still demanding that we sign Rhodes yesterday, despite the fact that half our new signings haven't had a start yet. Urge to kill rising etc

Both Villa and Norwich are in the market for a striker, the former bidding for Hernandez. I reckon Rhodes has been reduced to a last ditch plan b for a few clubs and all the transfer action for him will be very late. We are short of a striker but I would imagine we will be looking at slightly cheaper options, possibly from the Bundesliga or other Euro leagues, although there is good chance we might be hitting the loan market instead.

Is Rhodes just about the only youngish footballer who never got into Twitter? It doesn't surprise me, he had a very fogeyish demeanour in his early 20's and lived in the Morris dancing district with his dad, the very same place Smithies probably still pines for!

burke sale prob means assombalonga's off the market unless fawaz has witness protection lined up

with forest and bristol c joining the scrum i see no sensible domestic business to be made

at least when albert adomah holds up his £8m villa shirt we'll all know what he'd really prefer

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-37206870

cheese and pineapple hedgehog would have been a great new efl logo imo

jaysus we're still buying

damn Montanier for being likeable

i'd like us to be in for nathan byrne, esp on loan, but (as with grant ward) the ppl in charge who should know him better than anyone don't seem to rate him. bezzies with luongo and gladwin too

also sweet ravel morrison who on one hand would be a stupid, inevitably self-harming signing but on the other is a vessel for god and all the seraphim singing gloria in kanchelskis so idk

feel you on Byrne and Morrison

sometimes you've just got to go with your heart even when your head is screaming

hull are back spending. the phickle phinger of phelan is pointing to jeff hendrick for £10m

i think their sale is a done deal, just got to go thru the contractual stuff

was searching for takes on a new striker we're signing and happened across this bilious creature. surely the official face of efl my concubine 16/17

@Checkatrade No, I will be. By ensuring they're not devalued through the introduction of B Teams and the #BTeamBoycott. You're deluded.

pwned

kodija deal completed. a fine new entry into A.V. Club's "The 50 best comedies since 2000"

scoff away! if we really are doomed to the confines of the EFL basement for the foreseeable then I intend to enjoy this hilarious superclub cosplay as much as possible

Basement? Still waving your Billy Big Bollocks attitude about, I see :P

Leon Best to Ipswich is a signing that has that "EFL basement" charm to it. Presumably they will also be digging out Alan Lee's player registration for additional backup:P

I am glad the Kodjia deal is so ridic, we can hold out for just as much for Nahki and should do if these last minute desperados come for him.

well look if it ain't a basement then what the hell is it?!

Wasn't having a swipe, but there are 2 more relegations till you see the true basement or DIV 4 in old money.

Goalless and we've just gone to penalties to see who gets 2 points, rather than 1, in our Checkatrade Trophy clash with Southampton U23s. I'm not there.

What is the attendance? I bet there have been some record lows.
