lol!

I felt like doing some vintage Rivals messageboard era style trolling/flaming on WACCOE. I think my ban from 2003 was on a different IP!

Excellent Colin story:

Funniest incident

I was on the bench for Plymouth and we were 3-0 down at half-time. Neil Warnock came into the changing room. He was ranting and raving, swear words galore. He picked on one of the defenders who he was particularly annoyed with. There was a big metal tea urn in the room. He picked it up, chucked it in the air and headed it! ‘That’s how you f*****g head a ball!’

The room was so quiet, no one dared laugh, but we could see the blood start trickling down his face. The physio Norman Medhurst ushered him into the physio’s room leaving Mick Jones and Kevin Blackwell to give the team-talk. We got the game back and drew – he came in with a big bandage on his head, laughing.

An old school pal of mine played for Warnock at 3 different clubs and was quite mild mannered, tee-total and from a strict christian family. I always wondered if his background of having quite terrifyingly strict disciplinarian parents made him an ideal Warnock player or at least conditioned him to respond well to that style of coaching!

still some way behind the all-time best ever plymouth manager story...

Shilton was player-manager, or rather goalkeeper-manager, at the time. Plymouth were slipping into trouble in the old Third Division, the fingers of relegation closing round their necks for the second time in three years, and Shilton was trying to encourage his players to believe they could clamber away from the bottom three and rise like a “pheasant from the flames”.

After a slightly awkward silence, someone tentatively pointed out the word he might have been looking for was “phoenix”. Shilton, standing in front of his players as a double European Cup winner and the record England appearance-maker, paused for a few moments to take it in, the realisation dawning that his motivational speech had not gone quite as planned. He needed a line to reassert his authority. “I knew it began with an F,” he said.

I can't remember the fine details, but there is a piss funny 90's Andy Payton story about him going on the run to avoid a drink driving rap and being found by the police hiding in his lover's wardrobe.

Stupid, stupid Gargles.

biggest game of the season tonight!

seems like as good an occasion as any to leave out our one good player

looking forward to peter beagrie's insight into some unknown we've loaned from accrington

kick off delayed due to too many fans seems like a donald trump lie from sisu

Fuck Wigan, but I'm chuffed for Omar Bogle hopefully doing us a favour here.

there's anotherrrr game!?
:)

Which game were you watching tonight?

ha sorry, Coventry x

lol! I thought you were Coventry. The autoglass/johnstone's pain cup games weren't showing up on my live score tab, and for a while I thought you might have switched to Norwich or something.

haha, also share the omar love btw

but yeh p stoked for this, i was 1 in 1987 so other than relegation escapes this is my shangri la

on the back of the worst second half I've ever seen all the same

There is so much doom and gloom around Coventry, they seem like the most in-crisis club in the league. And then you get Russell Slade :(

oh yeh, but at least yakubu is training with us now ha

tbf i kinda feel slade over mowbray but maybe i just hate that dude too much

think big Steve pressley still lives in my hometown, not the best manager but he looked so great all is forgiven

Elvis applied for the Town job a couple of times and made the cut to the final interviews once, there was almost mass suicide when the bookies made him the odds on fav for the job.

hahaha

sorry I'm not too verbose, trying to order 5 shots of sky blue that isn't bombay sapphire and we're outta ideas

I've known the Mayor for 15 yrs. I'm not going to change my mind about him because of articles written by a Millwall supporter.

@Nagoyapompey7 @A_M_S_Group I am saying @barneyronay 's personal dislike of Bullock and support of the club means he lacks independence.

NagoyaPompey ‏@Nagoyapompey7 3h
@PaulJMas @A_M_S_Group @barneyronay can you prove he has a personal dislike of bullock? You shouldn't say that if you can't. Evidence?

The Heff vs Janssen, no competition really!

doesn't seem much point going to the pub for this one, what with Liverpool-Spurs and a fucking rugby match both on at the same time

I could easily see the first goal at LR today coming from an unmarked Smith in a set-piece, have gone for the 10/11 both teams to score option today. The joke at our place always was that Lynch feigned injury every xmas, but it looks like he is still out.

There seems to be a QPR/Hudds livestream on youtube, I'll link it if it isn't bullshit.

I felt like I was going to have a heart attack when it was 7 mins E/T. We have finally won at LR, we are probably going to win this fucking division now!

srsly love watching an American stream, great highlights of Deeko and the lads at Molly-noy, would do this every week if i could

L-R: Newcastle, Wolves

I notice now that Leeds have lost again after also losing to us, Sutton and Barnsley, that Monk is saying Cardiff parked the bus because they have so much respect for his all-conquering galacticos. He is such an ungracious arrogant wanker whether he wins or loses, and will never admit that his lot were set up wrong or were 2nd best.

just happy to see the wheels coming off tbh

amen to that

Although if our wheels don't fall off I would love an effectual bye to the playoff final to face them in the playoffs!

Scuse my arrogance, but when we are having the best season since the year before I was born and Frank Worthington was still a swinger. It is hard not to get caught up in the excitement!

totally happy to see a non-dick club having a great season as i peer thru the bars of the Karma Hotel

Wagner seems destined for bigger things right now, but it doesn't seem that long ago that a flying Warburton at Brentford had similar prestige, but it can all go wrong so relatively fast!

not to be dramatic but leeds hudds 2 leg playoff semi rematch is world football's only remaining hope

this mike flynn dude really reminds me of tony mowbray

otm

hah! squint your eyes and they could be twins. Although I could imagine Mowbray as a Clerk of Works/site manager type of grunt wiv Baz written on the back of his viz-vest, but definitely not a General.

I was talking to an old betting shop manager pal the other day. He says this incongruously glam looking lass comes into his shop with 10 minutes to kill and asks him how to put on a football bet. So she just picks 7 random teams off the coupon and puts on a £2.50 acc and they all win and she has £500+ to collect. One of his regular nosy punters who is watching him pay her out says afterwards: "The tight fucker could have at least tipped you a fiver!" and then says her husband is x player at QPR.

Anyway she has inspired me to use a random number generator to pick my games tonight and pick win, lose or draw for my acc. The random number generator came up with Wednesday, Wolves, L**ds wins and Norwich and Candy Crush Fc draws

Just watched the death of Barca and meanwhile we're stepping up our relegation bid. Guess who's going to the Mol on Saturday btw. Fffs

I'd be tempted to watch us put a nail in Pep, but since some tin-pot wanker at the club marketing dept put out a half Man City/Town scarf in the shop - i actually want Town to lose this fucking game.

My brother has a spare apparently and I'm down there to see my mom so good times but we are incapable of scoring right now so nobody make any daft bets imo

Lee Clark has left Kilmarnock to take over at Bury, apparently the Bury chairman is a town fan - so he ought to know better really.

"The Directors have given me their full support in rebuilding the squad and the fans will always have a special place in my heart but I still have huge ambition to one day manage at the highest level in England, which is obviously the Premier League, and I feel that the fresh challenge of managing a club in England's League One could provide me with the platform to build towards this goal."

Lol! yeah i've got dreams to be an aeroplane pilot when I grow up.

10 wins in 44 games, aye I bet the fucking Kilmarnock fans will be inconsolable.
