Football 22/23

[barney]

I'm worried about Moby, I hope he has not done anything silly after we beat his team today.

We’re all realistic and expect the worst
As they say, it’s the hope that kills ya!

Bit late this morning, I've been rounding up the lads to get the Manager sacked.

For Towny ... in the starting 11 just a handful were ( albeit past their sell date ) ex Prem players. It's work in progress at Vicarage Road, a rebuild from the academy up so the results this season are now unimportant.

To Mr Warnock I say

[barney]

Maybe Colin would be a good fit at the Hornets?
He seems to get results even though he’s about 110

Another wonderful exhibition by City who make poor teams look good. Cracking through ball by Maddison to lay on their goal. It's Man City next week. I think I'll go into hibernation.

I am a bit surprised that Gerrard has not been mentioned as a potential manager for the numerous PL vacancies there are at present.

Paul Iam hoping your Eagles can soar tomorrow and give Leeds a good spanking. With any luck Leeds and Forest will be swept out of the PL door this season, and my Terriers will survive the drop, that will make me and my eldest son very happy

[towny44]

Just watched Kyle Walker coming on as sub and getting rather lengthy instructions from Pep. His expressions were wonderful, but it's a good job Pep was only bending his ear, and not looking him in the eye!!!⁹

Towny. I hope we make your day but we have a very poor record at Elland Road so we last win there in 2006, so I'm not expecting to much. We are live on Sky 2 pm kick off. Your support would be appreciated.

As for Leicester. If you sack your manager.................no I won't go there.

[Manoverboard]

I would like to see Leeds win but only to put pressure on Everton ....

[screwy]

Would like Leeds and Everton to go down.

[paultheagle]

I don't care who goes down. Even us.

[oldbluefox]

My main concern about going down is whether I will be able to get a stream on a Saturday afternoon...............
From what I saw yesterday afternoon I don't see where we can avoid the drop. It was a total wreck of a performance.

[towny44]

Just watched Jordan Ayew score one of his very rare goals to put Palace ahead, keep it up Palace.
And they are doing it's now 3-1 to Palace, what joy.
.

[towny44]

You turn your back on the TV for a few minutes and the score is now 5-1, thank you Paul I only asked you to beat them, not completely bury them as well.

[oldbluefox]

I'm not complaining. If it all comes down to goal difference we might just scrape through so Palace could have done us all a little favour.

[Manoverboard]

WOW ... Well Won Woy

[paultheagle]

We were awesome. Talk about a game of two halves, the first 45 Leeds were the better team. We scored in first half stoppage time which seemed to really deflate Leeds, you all know what happened second half. You could see the confidence flowing back into the Palace players. Well done Roy and Ray.

As far as I know most Championship clubs stream their games live. You have to buy a membership to the clubs TV channel and I think you get most games live. If not live TV then the channel will have a radio commentary. So ObF, you should be okay. Bur you won't need that because Leicester will stay up. Keep the faith. If only they hadn't sack...........no I won't go there.

[Manoverboard]

The Hornets will sell match day passes to listen or watch the game via t' internet but not if their games are being broadcast live ... when I last checked.

[barney]

Watched Northampton v Gills on Ifollow.
They took a deserved lead with Gills standing off and offering very little.
Then, triple sub and an immediate equaliser.
Looked comfortable and game petering out to a 1-1 then their midfielder smacked in a scorcher from about thirty yards.
Nothing can be done about that.
Then literally last kick of the game, a free kick for Gills and our CF heads wide, unopposed from six yards .
Arghhhhhh !!!!
Effing football !!!!!

[paultheagle]

On my way home from watching Bromley v Boreham Wood. A hard fought 1-1 draw. Good game, worth £15 of anyone's money.

On my way home from watching Bromley v Boreham Wood. A hard fought 1-1 draw. Good game, worth £15 of anyone's money.

I watched the highlights of Wrexham v County and the standard was pretty high.
Both will do well in the FL.
I realised that Wrexham had Elliot Lee playing, signed from Championship Luton.
They are spending big.
Ben Foster between the sticks kept them in it and also saved a 96th minute penalty.

[paultheagle]

Your right Barney and small clubs like Bromley and Boreham Wood simply can't compete.

[barney]

I suppose I should be satisfied with a draw against one of the divisions high flyer but …. Once again, conceding in the 89th minute ???
To rub salt in, after that, a perfectly good goal disallowed and two very good penalty shouts.
We’ve come a long way since Xmas and I’m really excited about next season already.

[Manoverboard]

I thought you were going to win that one Barney ... bet you did too

Just reading that it will cost Luton a minimum of £10,000,000 to even start a game in the Prem. Then it will be £100,000,000 for a new stadium and probably the same again for new players. The following season they could be relegated and go into Administration. Maybe it's best if they finish 4th.

[oldbluefox]

Liverpool did us a favour last night beating Leeds and opening up the goal difference. The ball's firmly in our court. If we can't get the points we deserve to go down. Good to see they have dumped Rodgers "tippy tappy football around the back four until we lose it and concede a goal" brand of football and have started playing a more energetic style. Let's see more of it.

[barney]

A point against league leaders Orient tonight will see the Gills mathematically safe. That’s a big ask but our form since Xmas has been very good so why not?
Considering we were seven points adrift when the takeover happened, it’s a minor miracle.
If the season started in January and not in May, Gills would be in the automatic promotion spot.
I’ll be watching on Ifollow and effing and jeffing at every bad decision.
Hopefully the ref will be better than Saturday.
