also a powerhouse performance by Naby was a big factor in how comfortable the win was!

We’re on a twenty game unbeaten run (roughly, depending on how you count them) without having played terribly well. We should do this more often, it’s really fun. We’ll done on beating the slimers, Louis.

Folks, a small update here. It’s Bradford City that this group is up for buying a revolutionising using crypto, NFTs, assorted magic beans.Farewell, then, football. You had a good run.https://t.co/YSdIarBPjM— tariq panja (@tariqpanja) December 16, 2021
poor Bradford City. I wouldn't wish these wankers on any club.

Maybe they can buy Derek Adams and leave BCFC alone - Adams aside Bradford are a decent solid club AFAICT
― Tim, Thursday, 16 December 2021 16:34 (two years ago) link
maybe they'll replace Adams with an AI Holo-NFT
― calzino, Thursday, 16 December 2021 16:38 (two years ago) link
Holo NFT would be an absolute picture of charm and class, by comparison.

another cryptocurrency bro buying a club, his genius strategy to get Bedford into the Prem as a bitcoin club is by simply just keeping on winning games and not losing them.

the commercial dept at my club have done us proud again. Norwich dropped betting firm BK8 as a kit sponsor after discovering the kind of degrading and sexist ad campaigns they'd been running in Asia. My club, with recent history of having an eviction/legbreaking firm with anti-GRT, pro-Trump stuff on their social media account as the one off match-kit sponsors, have made them their global betting partners for the remainder of the season.
"We have spent a lot of time speaking to BK8 in order to understand their values."
lol yeah, show me how much do values cost, Siri.

some incredible reffing from Jeremy Simpson today. Lees is knocked unconscious by an elbow smash and Mr Magoo sees something different and plays advantage Blackpool, repeatedly looking back at the unconscious + unresponsive player on the deck. Then he books Toffolo for politely informing him of his appalling mistake. Justice was served to the donkey lashers in the end though.

still in the playoffs and now our former quite wealthy bastard chairman has sacked the CEO and temporarily installed himself in his place after making noises that he'd "like to be given some problems" in the jan transfer window. Didn't see this coming.

lol I thought my acc was down and Luton scored in late injury time, at which point I'd already repeated my bet.
The fucking clueless muppet who took Ipswich into L1 for the first time in 60 years is apparently going to be the new majority shareholder at Town. It could be worse but I can't see anything good coming from this.

it seems Derby are deep in the shit and their inability to find a new owner is further complicated by Steve Gibson still going for £45m compensation for them depriving the Prem of everyone's fave away trip by cheating P+S rules and finishing ahead of them in a playoff spot. Oh yeah and Wycombe were tragically relegated to L1 because of their FFP breaking shenanigans as well.. lol!
― calzino, Tuesday, 18 January 2022 15:24 (two years ago) link
There was that time in the prem when West Ham coughed up £20m to the relegated Blades over the Tevez business. But Middlesbrough's claim seems pretty dodgy to me. And as for Wycombe, when you get into the playoffs via the duckworth lewis method then don't complain when shit happens.

Tino Anjorin is joining us on rest of season loan from Chelsea, we've had a lot of good use from their best youth players in recent times. If he's anywhere near as good as Levi Colwell has been this season then it's a bit of a coup for us. Especially as Southampton were also in for him.

The mighty Bradford City selling their club captain Niall Canavan to Barrow for an undisclosed fee is not making me laugh as much as it would have done 20 years ago.
― calzino, Tuesday, 1 February 2022 00:16 (two years ago) link
I am pleased to see we have loaned some lad from Huddersfield to replace the guy we loaned from Barrow (he got injured after 1.25 matches, scored once) to replace our main striker who got injured. Maybe they'll all be back and scoring for fun come the end of the season.
Statistically speaking, though, this chap from Huddersfield is due a nasty injury some time in the next three games.

Which featured a 10 minute cameo against us a couple of weeks ago, which no-one seems able to remember. (Apparently they were playing him on the wing and neither he nor Hudders wanted that - he’ll certainly be played at centre forward for Exeter.
― Tim, Tuesday, 1 February 2022 23:45 (two years ago) link
we seem to have the best crop of youth players in our entire history, this is the first time I've seen multiple players out on L1/L2 loans who are consistently getting rave reviews.
― calzino, Wednesday, 2 February 2022 07:04 (two years ago) link
Phillips suffered a 2 year layoff due to a degenerative knee issue which had him bed-ridden for 3 months. The club just tied him down to his first long-term contract so they obviously rate him. The Walsall loan showed he's over his injuries and up to the rigour of regular football and 5 goals isn't a bad return when they were deploying on either side rather than as a CF.
