(Or is there a thread already?)

Anyway, I feel positively confident about Saints this year. Did anyone see Gareth Bale's goal on Sunday? 17 years old, his third ever first team game, beautiful curled 25-yard free kick. Then he does the same againagainst coventry. A star is born!

But, boringly, Brum or West Brom to win?

So hot on the heels of the Ashley Cole tapping up case, and the Obi Mikkel saga, Ken Bates complained that Chelsea had been interfering with three of his youth team. Chelsea have now responded by calling for the FA to punish Bates for 'insulting comments', and Leeds have in turn responded in frankly bizarre fashion:

A club spokesman said: "We are totally amused and look forward to receiving their (Chelsea Football Club's) detailed evidence to support their complaint."

Meanwhile, Leeds chairman Ken Bates said: "I haven't laughed so much since Ma caught her tits in the mangle."

Leeds United will be making no further comment at this stage.

― Teh littlest HoBBo (the pirate king), Thursday, 17 August 2006 21:00 (nineteen years ago)

I couldn't find the other thread either, so can I revive this thread to share my despondency?

So. Sunderland.

Four games gone, no points, no prospects, no left-sided players (previous incumbents sold to Boro and West Ham) and no proper manager.

And after weeks of speculation, our potentially talismanic season-saving, former superstar and goal-scoring partner of our temporary manager/chairman announces that he's decided to go to the bloody Baggies.

I wasn't convinced that SKP would have been the answer to our woes, but it seems a pretty damning indicator of the mess we're in.

I was going to say it couldn't get worse, but we're currently hanging on against Bury in the Carling Cup after a red card in the first five minutes.

"Foul and abusive language" apparently. FFS, he's from Barcelona, he's only been here five minutes and he's picked up the swearing before he's learned the set piece routines.

Looks like I heard right.

Anyway, perhaps this near-completely-ignored thread is the best place to talk about the tin pot trophy tonight: the nightmare continues for Leeds - dumped out at home 3-1 by Southen. That's now 73 goals Leeds have conceded in their last 5 games. Meanwhile West Ham continue to reap the rewards of their inspired and in-no-way-dodgy signing of two Argentinian World Cup stars: knocked out by Chesterfield tonight.

― Teh littlest HoBBo (the pirate king), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 19:56 (nineteen years ago)

Can anyone else see this thread?

So, the big match today, the Manchester derby: Maine Road v FC United. Maine Road (formed by a City supporters club branch from Rusholme or somewhere about 50 years ago) normally get crowds of about 100, but have moved this match to Stalybridge Celtic's ground which holds about 6,000. FC United will probably take at least 3,000 fans, and Maine Road have been leafleting City supporters to try and get them to go. I expect fireworks. Literally, given the time of year.

Ian "Sewell" Holloway, from his BBC column:

Well someone's been ripped off there haven't they? Unbelievable. I wouldn't pay £73m for a load of squiggles. I do appreciate fine art but I don't think a load of squiggles is fine art at all.

I did a painting on that Stress Test programme when I was at QPR and I called it 'Promotion' because we got promotion after I'd done it, but I can't call it a painting really - it's just a load of crap on the wall. Hopefully someone will see it and pay me £73m for it!

Some of these art critics will be trying to read stuff into it but I think it's like the Emperor's New Clothes. What it needs is one little kid to stand up and say: "Hang on, that's rubbish!"

If this Pollock bloke painted a face and you could recognise it then that's great, but you're not an artist if you just go around and squiggle things on a canvas. I don't think so, anyway.

It's like I said last week about these hairdressers who cut it all different lengths and swazz it about with gel. I could do that. Absolute frauds the lot of them. And so is that Pollock.

Good grief.

Anyway, the Championship promotion race is marvellous, innit? Four points currently separate first and eighth, with a bundle of games in hand to mess things up ever so slightly. Assuming Stoke (9th) beat Barnsley on Monday they're still firmly in the hunt, and it's not beyond the realms of possibility that Colchester can get back in the mix too. We're in fifth, tied on 59 points with Cardiff, Preston and Wolves, one point behind Sunderland (the division's form side), two behind Birmingham (albeit they've two games in hand) and four behind Derby, who look to be fading a bit, and West Brom, who are being annoyingly West Brom-like at the top of the table. It's all quite a lot of fun.

And next weekend's fixtures:

Preston v Southampton (Mon)

I don't know if my nerves can take it.

Message to Gareth Southgate: Please grind out long, hard, exhausting 0-0 draw against West Brom in FA Cup on Tuesday, and score soul-sapping 23-22 win on penalties (Julio Arca scoring deciding penalty after SKP miss). The infliction of a minor injury sufficient to sideline Diomansy Kamara for one game would be appreciated. K thnx bye.

I want the same last day tension of the 4 way fight for premiership survival 2004-2005 last game - 3 relegated [Norwich, Palace, The Deckchairs] and 1 stayed up [West Brom]

This time I want at least 4 clubs + to go into the last match with automatic promotion aspirations. With late goals scored/ conceded altering things.

Also the scramble for play off places will be dramatic.

― William Bloody Swygart, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 14:43 (eighteen years ago)

That Preston result was no good for us either. Likewise Derby coming from 1-0 down to win 2-1 tonight.

And it's Birmingham v Derby on Friday night. Can't quite decide whether I want a draw or a result that puts the winner out of sight but leaves the loser catchable.

― Ranking Rupert, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 22:38 (eighteen years ago)

Sheffield Wednesday have confirmed talks are continuing with a Chinese consortium about a summer takeover.

Owls chairman Dave Allen held a meeting with a Chinese party, headed by a multi-millionaire casino owner, before Tuesday's game with Plymouth.

A club spokesman said: "They have been talking again with the chairman. Dialogue is ongoing.

"There are a number of other parties that have been in contact about the possibility of investing money."

Allen, chairman at Hillsborough since 2003, first revealed he was keen to hand over control to someone who could wipe out the club's £26m debts at the turn of the year.

He said at the time: "We are not looking for small-time people, we are looking for a mega-rich businessman like Roman Abramovich at Chelsea, who want to buy a football club for a hobby.

Man, lower league football is going to wake up with such a bad hangover in about six years time.

― Dom Passantino, Wednesday, 7 March 2007 23:36 (eighteen years ago)

Barnsley away in half an hour's time.

We just lost a winger to injury last week, and now Keane has dropped Stokes and Hysen from the squad, allegedly because they and Fulop (sub goalkeeper - also missing) arrived late for the coach to the game.

Maintaining discipline is one thing, but this may turn out to be a case of cutting off one's nose to spite one's face.

― Ranking Rupert, Saturday, 10 March 2007 13:05 (eighteen years ago)

swygart how the hell did we get idiakez on loan! get in.

― r|t|c, Saturday, 10 March 2007 14:23 (eighteen years ago)

Idiakez just really hasn't bedded in at all for us, it seems, which is disappointing. He was being kept out of the first eleven by Jermaine Wright and Jhon Viafara, which kinda suggests something wrong.

Also suggesting something wrong is getting turned over 2-1 by bloody Stoke, who are now two points behind us. We're still very much in touch in play-off terms, but our form is not exactly looking clever, particularly given that the run-in seems to consist mostly of teams rather close to us in the table. Next three games are Cardiff, Colchester (both home) and Wolves (away). Blow those, and we're most likely out of it for another season.

MICK MCCARTHY IS JESUS

― Noodle Vague, Sunday, 11 March 2007 13:58 (eighteen years ago)

I'd not noticed, but Wolves really are on one fuck of a run, aren't they? That was their sixth straight league win.

Anyway, table:

1 Birmingham 36 21 70
2 Derby 37 13 69
3 Sunderland 37 19 66
4 Wolverhampton 37 5 65
5 West Brom 37 21 63
6 Cardiff 37 14 62
7 Preston 36 12 62
8 Southampton 37 14 59
9 Stoke 37 15 57
10 Colchester 37 10 53

Birmingham are starting to hit worrying form at the top. Sunderland and Wolves are gonna keep the automatic promotion race very interesting; the inconsistency of Brom, Cardiff, Derby and Preston means us and (after yesterday, annoyingly) Stoke have still got a sniff of the play-offs at least. The mini-group forming behind of Colchester, Palace and Plymouth still have an outside chance, but with nine games to go, they're gonna need to get a serious move on.

― William Bloody Swygart, Sunday, 11 March 2007 15:08 (eighteen years ago)

I'd draw the cut-off at Stoke I think. The Championship always seems to go down to the wire, but this is the most intense run-in I can remember. Most of those teams at the top have still got some crucial matches against each other.

― Noodle Vague, Sunday, 11 March 2007 16:38 (eighteen years ago)

It looks like Dagenham & Redbridge will be a football league 2 club next season, another victory tonight and also Oxford in second place lost again. Dagenham have an 11 point lead and a game in hand.

― djmartian, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 21:57 (eighteen years ago)

GAH! Peter effing Whittingham snatches victory away from us against Cardiff, so we're still marooned in eighth, three points off the play-offs. Still, none of the big teams had great nights except for Preston - Brum lost at Norwich, Wolves went down against Coventry, Derby scraped a draw at home to QPR, Sunderland and Stoke cancelled each other out - so we're still in it. Wednesday might also have taken Colchester out of the equation, which is nice.

Tonight's results all about the bottom though, specifically The Miracle of Roots Hall - Southend beat Burnley and are now 20th! Admittedly, Barnsleh and QPR have both got a game in hand on them, but their great escape may yet come to pass. Leeds are also only three points from safety in last spot, and are helped by the fact that Luton look to be sinking without any semblance of a trace. Still all to play for...

― William Bloody Swygart, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 22:08 (eighteen years ago)

Crikey. As if it could get any more tense. We were dire tonight, but scraped the draw against Stoke. And with the exception of Preston's win, the other results were pretty good for us.

But, blimey, we need Stokes to start on the right wing on Saturday. I don't care if he's late every flipping day of the week. We look a mess without Carlos Edwards.

Would love to see Southend escape the drop, but Leeds must go.

Of the top 6, 4 are currently receiving parachute payments, and one managed to get a new ground out of their PL money, whilst another ran out of parachute payments last year. From next year, the gap between relegated clubs and never-promoted clubs is going from 7:1 to 13:1.

It's been getting worse year on year, and the parachutes are having the same effect on the second tier that Champs League money does in the top tier.

We try, but when we contact the potential entrants and ask them to commit to a tournament, they get twitchy and say the manager wants to determine the level of opposition, and so they can't sign up until they know who'll they play, and since no-one signs up properly, it never gets going. I had a whizzer idea though about what to do if City get into the league, and it involves having four teams in the same league owned by trusts who play each other home and away across the season :-)

(I understand this means nothing to anyone outside me and Martin S)

I am pissed.

UNTOLD RICHES FOR DERBY COUNTY

― Mark C, Monday, 28 May 2007 15:53 (eighteen years ago)

Congratulations to Derby County and all their fans on a tremendeous achievement.

― Dom Passantino, Monday, 28 May 2007 15:54 (eighteen years ago)

i feel justice is done given Derby's pts total.

actually feel a bit sorry for MK Dons tho!

― blueski, Monday, 28 May 2007 16:15 (eighteen years ago)

Blimey, Stephen Pearson actually *does* have his uses. Who'da thunk it?

― ailsa, Monday, 28 May 2007 22:38 (eighteen years ago)

Uh why, Steve?

― Mark C, Monday, 28 May 2007 23:39 (eighteen years ago)

because I always feel sorry for clubs that have a considerably higher pts total than the other teams in the play-offs but end up losing out. i'm not really in favour of play-offs altho it provides cruel excitement/drama ala penalties aet.

― blueski, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 10:09 (eighteen years ago)

So who will Billy Davies be managing next season? Not Derby, I'm betting.

― Tom D., Tuesday, 29 May 2007 10:12 (eighteen years ago)

I have been very emotional about MK Dons sad defeat in the play-offs, then losing their manager.

Steve, seriously, you can park your pity, because really, when truth be told, they are bunch of cunts. I find this helpfully counterbalances any misguided sentiment in their direction.

― The Boyler, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 10:54 (eighteen years ago)

my sympathy transcends cnutishness on this occasion. feel the love!

― blueski, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 11:01 (eighteen years ago)

football clubs are just businesses now

― 696, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 11:03 (eighteen years ago)
