EFL My Concubine - Football League and beyond 2016-17

rly looking forward to our game fyi. think we hit on something genuinely v promising in the last game vs reading - hall anchor/sweeper, luongo and manning box-to-box, furlong at rb, and 2 workhorse wing-forwards let us go 433, 451, 343 during play quite well imo.

proper stress test now vs probably best midfield in the division on their day, could get mullered back to square one, could enshrine the blueprint for the next 18 months. plus fulham are flaky up front and in defence, plus it's a derby, plus the utter cunt powers that only bloody gave us keith stroud again...

*powers that be

keith stroud should have been given the season off after last week

morgan fox to wednesday was a bit weird, but frame it as 'decent defensive young full-back with a fairly good cross and height at set-pieces' and marry it to wednesday's weird hoarding policy and you can see it as an investment. this is the club where reda johnson became a thing remember. obviously our morons are desperately casting about for someone else to scream abuse at when they haven't done anything wrong. ah well. we'll always have his goal against your lot eh lol

at least stroud will have time to get home and watch mike dean promoted to reffing the champions of europe vs barnsley

💀

meanwhile our game has been called off. apparently we deliberately failed to connect a boiler to our undersoil heating in the hope that it'd be called off. one way to manage an injury crisis. wtf am i going to do with my saturday now though

for a similar emotional vibe you could contemplate the Trump presidency for 2 hours whilst burning a 20 quid note

getting outplayed by scunthorpe isn't so distressing

*beds in for day of football streaming*

missed this whole bleedin half after popping out for milk and finding a decade's worth of garden furniture left out three streets down

omfg smithies you didnt <3

fuck you stroud what sort of pen decision was that. get ENGLANDS #1 right up ye

fair draw, tho fulham are weasels and stroud it goes without saying was abysmal (running handbags on pitch and touchline by the end, bircham sent off for his troubles)

shape and pressing vg, not quite slick enough to counter effectively with mackie and sylla having donkey days and wszolek peripheral. i'm encouraged

@Jokanovic: "It's not the type of field for us to play our game. They prepared the pitch to suit their style, which is completely legal."

see

tom cairney still v v good btw, though not v v good enough for strachan's scotland of course

haha what, cairney isn't an automatic scotland starter, that's kind of amazing. are they just playing kirk broadfoot in attacking midfield by this point

also i notice cousins is no longer in the picture. you dare loan him to bolton

Doherty is an atrocious full back, quite simply he cannot defend. He can't run, turn, mark, tackle or hold position and his attitude is abysmal.

Doherty wins another penalty, dude has been player of the season since these bizarre ramblings first appeared

Think Wolves players feel it was a dive. Ikeme adjudged to have brought Hoolahan down. Sees red. All subs made. Doherty in goal.

i'll just keep my mouth shut

2-1 Norwich, our lads going berzerk at Hoolahan, we'll see.

robbed, maybe. disappointing either way

get the fuck in Barnsley!

I bumped into our new signing when I left at h/t yesterday. I swear he looks taller than 6"3 or maybe I've shrunk a bit.

Karl Henry ✔ @karlhenry08
@WestLondonSport Ian came in and started slating previous managers. I told him to stop being disrespectful! Hence, we've not got on since.

"I wouldn’t have re-signed Karl. I would not have signed on someone who’s 34-stroke-35 and not given him another opportunity to play. Karl knows this.

“But Jimmy decided to do that. What can I say? Is Jimmy right or wrong? It’s not even relevant. The fact is I want to play a different way than Jimmy did.”

“Karl’s having a think about the rest of his life. Does he need to do this now? He’s had a very, very good career."

(Referee) Ilderton's report says: “In the 55th minute fourth official Matthew Donohue informed me that Notts County manager John Sheridan should be removed from the technical area for his behaviour towards himself. I then asked Mr Sheridan to leave the technical area, and take a place in the stands. Mr Sheridan then said to me 'You're a f****** disgrace, you're f****** useless, you've not f****** got anything right today, you should be f****** ashamed, you're f****** shit, my kids aren't going to get any f****** Christmas presents because of f****** you. Mr Sheridan then took his place in the stands for the rest of the game.”

Donohue also contributed to the report. “In the 56th minute, after Wycombe Wanderers had scored their second goal, Notts County manager, John Sheridan and assistant manager, Mark Crossley left the technical to complain to assistant referee, Anthony Moore,” he wrote.

“I approached them to tell them they needed to remain in their technical area. Mr Sheridan then shouted directly into my face, 'You're a f****** c***. I then called across referee Eddie Ilderton, who dismissed Mr Sheridan from the technical area. On leaving the technical area, Mr Sheridan approached me again, shouting directly at me, 'You really are a c***. I'm gonna knock you out you c***.”

And why this thuggish perennial loser was taken straight back by Oldham is a bit of a mystery.

wagner not chromatic enough for terrence boyd so he's gone to darmstadt

everton are trying to sign a lad from lille called martin terrier, should really go for him instead

It was a tough call for him, but when he was wiki-ing Hudds vs Darmstadt he decided that a heritage of synthesising the first batch of liquid MDMA>>> dark ol' mills full of frigging heavy woolen fine worsteds!

It was probably Polter going to Union Berlin that facilitated the Quaner transfer for us. Allegedly we were going to get him on a free in the summer anyway, but the collapse of the Boyd deal and Quaner's availability hastened the move.

ravel is training with us

i offer no excuse other than we put the amour fou into football

If the nurturing and stable environment of Loftus Rd doesn't work for him his next stop will be Swindon, then possibly crime or an Anglican religious order.

well now

at this point in his career i'm not sure Helder is actually worth this amount of money but fuck it it's about time we started acting like a bunch of megalomaniacs drunk on Chinese billions

probs more like mendes needs some change to pay the pool cleaner but yeah. tbf u only ever need 1 tsp quality added to organization to edge most champo slobberknockers

on that note ravel has now tweeted the number 14, to don our cruyff mantle one can only presume

otoh the current custodian of that shirt is jay emmanuel-thomas so maybe he's trying to warn us

everything...about...that...room...

somebody "artfully" placed those digestives there?

am having flashbacks to my last visit to Citizen's Advice

i regret posting this tbh the lack of plate is triggering me big time

i assume it's just shadow but the upper biscuits look different to the base biscuit

they look like they've got a milled edge like certain kinds of shortcake

lol i've just seen the mug on top of the filing cabinet

good spot, the bottom is a digestive and the uppers are ridged shortcake
