EFL My Concubine - Football League and beyond 2016-17

only just realised it looks like Barry's rocking the sports jacket and jeans combo

a look i've definitely owned myself, no side-eye intended

second thoughts i dunno i can't see any indication of a fly on there

yeah that got me too. blues and greys tho, not incohesive from barry

idk how many hours of my life i've spent sitting at desks like these pondering my distaste for the plastic cable hole cover thing

the cover thing has a beautiful and thoughtful consonance with the plateless biscuits tho of course

i had noted that

also a personal association with the lucky coin i planted on the middle of my desk in Atelier Rorona this week but that was a bit abstruse

have either of u begun to hallucinate scrubbed-out platitudes on the whiteboard yet

wondering if they had some fake tactics drawn up on the whiteboard and eventually rubbed them off cos it was "too much"

christ. you'll be reducing real yorkshire to that minuscule glimpse of curly telephone wire next

and rightly so

i am wondering where the computer is, shoved right back on the left-hand desk maybe, or is this the age of the laptop?

would a circa 2013 company thinkpad fit in the briefcase? i'm uncertain

multiple lols!

having mulled it over for a bit i am ruling out the thinkpad as a credible enterprise solution for barnsley football club

somebody "artfully" placed those digestives there?

thinking either they're contractual incentives for davies (one every 30 appearances perhaps) or barry has a private ritual where takes the 2 packs out of the drawer upon arrival at his desk, carefully lays them out, and then marks the passage of daily time with their consumption

final digestive is the healthy option taken in an attempt to mitigate guilt as home time nears and chides of wife re expanding waistline echo louder in the memory

hard lines whichever club tried to nick Mooy off us, sadly the cutoff point for City recalling him was the first week of the transfer window :×

luke freeman for 300k and big mathieu "matt" smith for 500k. no better than lower champo material imo but low risk in this market i spose

actually i know damn well smith is pony but maybe he can be handy for washington

Because

well in lad

#BristolCity have made an offer for #BristolRovers striker Matty Taylor. It triggers a release clause in his contract, I understand.

it is bad enough they just got stuffed 5-0 by the cobblers, but that will give them some gaseous nausea.

tiago ilori to reading for 4m is still the iconic jan 2017 window signing imo, but norwich buying yanic wildschut off wigan for 7m comes v close

rollin my eyes wildschut

Gah, thought you were having a laugh abt Wildschut, but no... Xp

ok nope scratch that

if this is steven caulker signing on loan for lokomotiv moskow we have a thumping new winner

Aston Villa have agreed a fee in the region of £15m for Brentford striker Scott Hogan.

is this like some lol Cold War thing where they have to be seen to be beating our spending?

tbf selling ashley westwood up a division for 5m must surely be the irl equivalent of joker gas

Villa's desperate warehousing of every top striker/midfielder in the champ isn't working so far, so better do more of the same! I wouldn't be surprised if they were the ones that bid for Mooy yesterday, even with their abundance of midfielders.

hourihane and bree was a banger tbf but yeah

note they loaned out 5m tshibola yesterday, along with 4m gollini earlier

smith signs. “He forces defences into mistakes by his sheer presence, look and size" ollie coos

we have Palace sniffing around our Danish lanky streak. Lately he has been complaining about not getting enough games, he was buzzing more than any of the other players when we got Man City yesterday.

Scunthorpe have turned down a surprise £4m offer for Kevin van Veen from a Chinese Super League club, Sky sources understand.

Henan Jianye FC would need to bid closer to £8m for Scunthorpe to consider their offer, according to Sky sources, with Graham Alexander's side chasing promotion to the Sky Bet Championship.

i... ok... no

truly this was my best ever thread title

so prescient

as Confucius said Thread titles that are prescient and clever are rare as rocking horse shit!

hence why "phelan on your booty" was such a tragic loss

I bet you could find an old Chinese folk story about a Jordan Rhodes merchant who accrues great wealth but loses the respect of his peers and ends up a rich league 1 player by the age of 30 dies a lonely and desolate figure.

Mitchell Dijks (Ajax) on loan to Norwich, decided to wear the most fitting sweater ('oelewapper' translaties to idiot/moron/etc)

Rhodes to Wednesday looks totally on now, quite a collection they have now.

Akinfenwa not in the squad for Wycombe tonight, that will set tongues wagging.

lol! super dave edwards on for a hattrick maybe

it's "deadly" fyi

cant stop laughing at brentford 3-0 villa

There's no reason why any of you should particularly care about this, but it's been a really weird season for Exeter so far: after 5 games: zero points. After 17 games we'd scraped together a miserable 16 points, and went to Orient needing to beat them to go above them in the table. Everyone was hunkering down for that long familiar slog to avoid relegation.

The last 11 games we've won nine and drawn two (scoring 24 and conceding 5 in the process), and we're now fourth in the division, a full 25 points above Orient. The manager seemed genuinely annoyed that we conceded two in beating nasty old Wycombe 4-2 last night (they were the first goals we'd conceded in 2017).

It doesn't feel quite real.

jesus, the state of the bottom of L2. It looks like Crewe and Notts Co don't even deserve a place in the FL!
