EFL My Concubine - Football League and beyond 2016-17

Jazz Richards is silly if he refused to do the ayatollah all game. It's not like he can avoid doing it for the next three years. Pointless

fans really are the lowest of the low

Cardiff fans have always been a very classy bunch.

I have just spent the last half an hour fucking about with 5 player, retrieving lost password, disengaging adblockers, trying different browsers to no avail. Just going get a stream of Leeds getting stuffed instead.

havent, may probably never have the strength to articulate how catastrophically appalling that show is

shout out to sky today scheduling a game like wednesday-villa against the charity shield purely to grift a pointless couple audience % off bt

still the fl changed the logo so job done

Aston Villa fans to protest £42 away tickets at Sheffield Wednesday by donning robbers’ masks during season opener

Sheffield Wednesday to install more recycling bins outside Hillsborough for 2017/18 amid £44 away tickets fury

Channel 5 show is awful in ways that make no sense - my theory is Sky make them use shit camera angles, limited footage, i dunno - for an hour-long programme covering 9 or 10 matches yesterday i have no sense of how most of the teams actually played.

How did they manage to make the FL show look good? that is some feat, although I doubt many are missing the insights of Claridge.

ah bollocks karl henry's playing. cousins must have a knock

not pessimistic about this season necessarily but can't see past a slogged point at best and more likely a 0-2 loss today

Monk seems clueless and is constantly on tv, obv because he know's he'll be gone by November and needs other options.

GREENOOOOOOOO hahahahahaha

They aren't marching on together now!

lol get in

how well i recall him letting in the exact same feeble goal a couple of years ago with the exact same gormless look on his face

sometimes there is a god

not mad at the commentator letting loose his inner used car salesman every time shodipo gets on the ball

dear fucking lord, there's a lewis pronounced like louis now

nah he's spelled Lewie, parents must've been Disney fans

what the fuck is that bidwell booking. that's dissent?!

oh wow he's Tommy Coyle's little brother, didn't realise.

BBC text says "bad foul"??

watch the refs accept mourinho and conte's lads scream into their faces all season safe in the knowledge the numbers are being buffed up in all the other games

nah he's spelled Lewie, parents must've been Disney fans

this is maybe even worse

my eyes just refused to accept it i think, just put the s in there

it's a Hull thing

didn't realise that James Beattie was on the coaching staff at Leeds. Brings back amusing memories of the Women in Love style naked man-fight he had in the showers with Pulis at Stoke.

fookin' get in there Chery!

manner of that pen sums us up today. very chuffed

It's not often I celebrate Chery goals but that one felt v good.

def extremely satisfying as a thing

That impressive young Viera kid for Leeds was playing for Batley Phoenix not long ago, should have been on our radar.

Vieria, I meant.

Beautiful!

how about that. love that man

I can't wait to play this shower.

Monk seems clueless and is constantly on tv, obv because he know's he'll be gone by Novembernext week and needs other options.

Lol! Lots of Leeds are fans saying they might as well stuck with Silvestri, no shit sherlock! I really hope Green is on good money and they are burdened with him for at least a relegation season or two now.

Derby are in for Wells. How predictable, it seemed like his "injury" was bogus. If it means we are going to buy the German striker Uth, i'll take it. Wagner seems to know his shit about top class German 2nd div players so far.

At least we will be helping Bradford possibly get a two quid player in this window now:p

Nixon: Derby County. Two most live targets. Lees at Sheff Wed and Wells at Huddersfield. Both will take some doing. Norwich after Wells...

Oh we have a bidding war on the cards, 12 mill at least - he has two years left on his contract.

Saunders on Sky earlier was saying that the likes of Town + Rotherham will be parking a bus at Villa and lack the ability to win a proper game of football against these galacticos that won 2 home games last season. It is probably that kind of insight into the makeup of EPL2 that made him such a fine manager at this level.

wait, did he watch the game today? same old shit from Villa. there's half a decent team there (almost all new signings / youngsters). Elphick is probably the most popular player in the squad already, Tshibola looks like he might be good. Hutton Cissokho Westwood Gardener Gestede are all problems that need solving. Bacuna not much better. We're going to need at least one good midfielder if we're gonna get anywhere this season.

It has been the same kind of punditry from 5 live, where they seem to forget how tight this league is and seem to forget every year that parachute money doesn't always equate power.

We have Newcastle away next, my stepdad and brother are travelling to this one. Their first away game in something like 18 months. Sad fucking starfuckers.

Saunders is a moron. How hard would it have been to look at the respective trajectories of Villa and Wednesday over the last 12 months?

oh. oh my. drumroll please

Maybe her first act will be to promote the tightening of fit and plopper rulings over club ownership etc :p

An incredible 79 per-cent of sales have included the new club captain’s surname which has led to a shortage of letters on the printing desk at the Villa Park club shop.

Jesus, Mary & Joseph!

a million spent on Joe Garner and now allegedly a bid for "premier league forward" Harry Bunn is imminent. Someone needs to tell Mick that they aren't lakin' in League One yet!
