Parachute money fails to deploy - the Football League and beyond 2015-16

My alltime second fave season was the 03/04 Season in the basement, so much degenerate action and so many new grounds to visit. It was a beautiful season. We got dicked 6-2 by Scunny + 4-0 by Macc and blew a 1-0 lead against Cheltenham via a suicidal Pav Abbott backpass. We completely fucked up auto on the last game and went up via a controversial ruled out goal by Clattenburg and penalty shoot out- (again)

For some reason I thought Lansdown had walked from Bristol City, more ffp madness when a team who have recently written off £35m worth of debt + just up from L1 can bid £9m for a rival club's striker. Sickening, really hope these fuckers fail.

That's ridiculous.

I am recalling how, when Daggers brought on Ashlee Chambers last night, I was wishing very very hard for him to have squad number 36.

dicking in the balance

i swear to god Claridge has just commented adversely on Le Fondre's "moving clubs a lot"

Ikeme back in goal at the weekend

we must've spent pre-season playing dominoes or something

wd love a stream of this, commentators talking so much bollocks idk how to perceive (i went for bbc london, preferring steve froggatt to claridge)

did lol at their bemusement at austin and phillips barely celebrating the first

steve froggatt was excellent for our game last night

or maybe he was just saying lots of nice things about us and coming off like an ex pro who's also a good bloke idk

p sure the two of them (a&p xxp) literally just had a word in the centre circle at 0-2 and said "ffs lets get ourselves the fuck out of here"

nv deserves everything he gets for 'dicking in the balance' tbrr

ya froggy just went on a real england rant about wenger letting afobe go

just wait until he sees akpom eh

lol someone's bunning on my bus btw

Claridge is a fucking cunt who must've got bullied to shit at Wolves cos he's always hated us, wd take Froggatt given the option obv

a night of two-twos xp

o no lies it is the man behind me rolling one

what's happening in the match

claridge doesn't like us either obv

smmfh

worst is this doesn't sound undeserved, and i wasn't impressed with the 70 minutes of us i saw on Sunday either

wow phillips is terrified of staying

just rly glad I wasn't online when we went 2 up over rtc's boys to commence premature gloating

my old man's health is shaky enough without this you feckless twats

i'd actually last minute bottled betting against us with afobe first scorer, wasnt a good moment

this game is basically kinda meaningless for both sides tho rly in the grand scheme, two class players on their way out perverting the natural course of justice

script says this is a late 3-3 btw

I hope Andre Gray is negotiating a decent relegation release clause into his Bristol contract.

see, luongo just declined to square a tap in xp

9m for gray is so obscene, you could pay off a whole ffp fine with that

If he decides not to sign for them at that price I'm going to be so angry.

at best we'll have dropped 4 points from our first 2 home games, thank fuck our fans are philosophical and patient

apparently Claridge only had 5 games for us, that explains a lot

it felt so much longer

9m for gray is so obscene, you could pay off a whole ffp fine with that

(Bristol v Leeds, obv)

One of them rare moments when i would actually wanted a Leeds win for once.

excuse the bad english, i'm pissed

knew i shd've bought more crisps and sweets today

As far as I'm concerned, Rupert Murdoch embodies a lot of what is wrong with society and, while I don't kid myself it will change anything, I make my own mini protest by not buying any of his newspapers – if I'm honest, it's not a huge hardship as there isn't much in them to interest me in any case.

Unfortunately, it's a bit more difficult to keep abreast of all the football action without subscribing to Sky, but at the minute I'm getting around it by utilising my dad's log-in details to watch games online.

He needs to become acquainted with wiziwig, but good on him for hating Murdoch.

opinion of smithies is probably the most divided i've ever seen for a keeper. what's the deal? it seems to be something a bit deeper than sour grapes extremism or the usual awesome shot stopper/clown otherwise review you'd normally get

A lot of our miserable fuckers never get bored of critiquing Smithies which is odd considering he is probably our best keeper since Vaesen. They will soon have something to moan about with Murphy who recently got lobbed from 36 yards. I think the reason the club sold him was because he was the 2nd top earner and I don't think they will be offering that level of wage any more. The more balanced posters on our board are sad that Smithies has gone and consider it a derisory fee, the haters are feeling vindicated.

I just re-watched the penalty shootout at Wembley, that Smithies vs Simonsen moment was glorious and pretty much his defining moment at Town for me (╯︵╰,)

i am having weirdly ambiguous feelings towards Birmingham under Gary Rowett

ace manager is GR and one of the more likeable managers from recent brum history, it is hard not to wish him well

yeah plus fuck Derby County
