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!

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.

Sunderland getting hit for six as well ..heh! And Reading with a top four wage-bill looking doomed. Fulham dropping points at home - some decent results. We might not make the playoffs but aren't doing too shabbily considering our budget is a Peterborough level budget again these days.

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 (four years ago)
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.
― Tim, Tuesday, 1 February 2022 17:20 (four years ago)
rescued from his Walsall hell!
― calzino, Tuesday, 1 February 2022 22:03 (four years ago)
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 (four years ago)
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 (four years ago)
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.
― calzino, Wednesday, 2 February 2022 07:17 (four years ago)
Sounds hopeful! Hope his pins hold up.

Steve Cooper’s commitment to the one facial expression, even as Forest take a three-nil lead over Leicester, is superb.

they couldn't buy a goal against us a few weeks back and his facial expression was pretty much the same!

gosh imagine doing Arsenal and Leicester in very good style and then getting knocked out by little old Hudds in the 5th round.
― calzino, Sunday, 6 February 2022 18:20 (four years ago)
Been enjoying Steve Cooper's expression a lot lately in my local
― Reader, I buried him (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 6 February 2022 18:24 (four years ago)
I didn't rate him at Swansea but he seems to have developed into a much better manager at Forest. He did show his other big toothy school photograph smile expression at f/t tbf on him!

Apparently the FL's bastion of goodness and morality had a set-to with our lot the other day. Admittedly after we sung some MK Dons songs at them. Excellent show all round
― imago, Monday, 7 February 2022 10:27 (four years ago)
I'm so happy that Phillips scored the winner on his debut against the chickens! On Radio Leeds most the talk was about Matt Daly who we've loaned to Bradford and scored 8 from midfield whilst at Hartlepool. But no, it was Kieran's day today!
― calzino, Saturday, 12 February 2022 20:50 (four years ago)
It was a fun game, bit nervy at the end mind. I think I counted six separate songs piling abuse onto puffa-coated panto villain. Derek Adams. Bradford had the off chance but were mostly woeful. Fifth time we’ve played them this season, they haven’t beaten us once. “Derek Adams, it’s happening again”. I’ve nothing against Bradford City but if you’re going to attract these big crowds by making the season tickets 50p each , it’s not going to do you much good if they all just main and grumble.
― Tim, Sunday, 13 February 2022 01:10 (four years ago)
Moan and grumble, that says.
Adams said this about Exeter in August. 5 games against them this season and we haven't beaten them once. 💀 #bcafc pic.twitter.com/UIOLGrLgvO— ßen (@BCAFCBH) February 12, 2022
― Tim, Sunday, 13 February 2022 01:25 (four years ago)
they seem more obsessed with their big-club status (fans, owner and local bbc team) than even those Wednesdayites are. On RL yesterday one of their commentary team was talking about how Daly might be initially a little fazed by their absolutely huuuge crowds after previously playing at a club as small as t'monkey hangers. I mean obviously cheap tickets is a good thing, but consistently giving it large about how maaassive your club is gets very tedious. hah! one of their fans was commenting that we had banks of empty seats against the blades yesterday, like yes you do get banks of empty seats on 12.30 sky tv games if you aren't Man Utd!

From North Devon apparently; sadly that doesn’t equate to his being disqualified from reffing our games.

Derek "Cheer up Derek Adams" Adams has been given the heave-ho by Bradford. Poor fellow.

Grant McCann might be in next, a very jolly fellow in comparison to Adams, perhaps!

Benito Carbone has applied for the Bradford City job.The 50-year-old Italian – most recently assistant coach for the Azerbaijan national team – has told the club he is interested in replacing Derek Adams.

lol them days when he was being paid 40 grand a week and living rent free in a spare mansion Geoffrey Richmond owned must seem like it was all a dream to some older Bradford City fans.
― calzino, Tuesday, 15 February 2022 18:46 (four years ago)
another one of my beefs with Bradford is that during their short lived prem era they were putting season ticket adverts in parts of the Heavy Woollen District that were always split between Hudds/Leeds. They thought they were bigger than NATO.
― calzino, Tuesday, 15 February 2022 18:55 (four years ago)
it was fun listening to the sky commentary spend the first half hour of the match wanking over and raving about how unstoppable Fulham are while we made them look quite stoppable and took a 2-0 lead. One of them a soft penalty, but perhaps a bit of payback to that cheating thug Mitrovic. If we had an ordinary keeper this probably would have been a draw at best. But even the Fulham commentary guy was saying that Nicholls is probably the best keeper in the championship he's seen by miles. Not bad for a freebie who couldn't even get a game at MK Franchise last season.

― imago, Saturday, 19 February 2022 19:45 (four years ago)
he's probably actually better than Bielsa because he's stopped off that murderball nonsense in training that he imported here from L**ds, that was probably the main cause of our injury crisis last season. There are already rumours they want Corberan in next and who can blame them, he took on a very hard job and so far, after a difficult first season has overachieved without having fuck all money to spend!
