Football League thread 2017/18

[Denver]

A thread to discuss the other English football leagues that are not the Premier League

[Denver]

Paul Lambert has been sacked as Wolves boss and replaced with former Porto and Valencia manager Nuno Espírito Santo

[Denver]

Kicks off tonight

[Denver]

I think promotion to the PL is between 10-12 clubs this season

[Crimson Dynamo]

So annoyed that the disgusting and vile Colin Murray is doing the Saturday night highlights show

To get rid of Lynsey Hipgrave and George Riley is madness

The EFL are so unhappy at Channel 5’s decision to hire Colin Murray as host of their Saturday night highlights show that they have written to their clubs telling them they did not endorse it.

Unbelievable

[Drew.]

Colin Murray will do a far better job than those two clueless scrubs ever did, will definitely be tuning in to watch it this season

[Crimson Dynamo]

Murray does not even like football, he is a yes man fake

totally insincere and hounded out of talksport for being unlikeable

[Locke.]

Talksport would have to sack everyone and start from scratch if they were getting rid of people for being unlikable

[Crimson Dynamo]

Great to have the footy back tho. Got the Black cats on

:hee:

[Denver]

1-0 Derby

He left due to the Sun getting involved with Talksport, show him the respect he deserves

[King Gizzard]

Murray >> Everyone >> those two last year

And hope the guests they have are a lot better than Gray and that idiot Virgo

[Mystic Mock]

We're in a **** street after that defeat to Ipswich as that's a relegation candidate with us gifted 3 points due to ****ty defending.

[Denver]

Redknapp will be bringing in a brand new sqaud on deadline day

[Novo]

Proper daylight robbery that point Norwich got at Fulham from the looks of the highlights, Ayite and Aluko ripping them a new one

[Novo]

Barrie McKay getting the Winner for Forest and then Garner for Ipswich (who's been on fire in pre season as well) since leaving Rangers , probably less pressure at these mid table settlers who attract 30,000 rather then the 50,000

[Mystic Mock]

Redknapp will be bringing in a brand new sqaud on deadline day

Hopefully they'll be De Gea, Diego Costa, Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Eden Hazard. Along with Dele Alli, Christian Erikssen, and Harry Kane.

[King Gizzard]

Anyone got a glass of bleach

[Drew.]

Think you might need a barrel of it by the time the seasons done with

[Black Dagger]

Cardiff having a good start. **** that

[Denver]

Wolves are winning the title

[MTVN]

We're ****ing ****

[MTVN]

Robbed of a win today against top of the league. Corner turned, we're staying up

[Shaun]

Can't believe Bristol City are bringing Premier League football to the south-west for the first time :love:

[Mystic Mock]

The 48th best team in the country will be demolishing the insignificant Leeds on Saturday.:dance:

[Shaun]

Mock you do realise it's 44th right? With there only being 20 in the Prem :p

Some slight good news for you I guess

[Shaun]

Preston :clap1:

I was kinda optimistic about Bristol City getting promoted but it's looking more and more likely :flutter:

[Denver]

Birmingham kickstarting their season :clap1:

[Denver]

Also Lincoln are doing extremely well this season potential Champs?

[MTVN]

Horrible club

[Denver]

Birmingham City have sacked Cotterill with Gary Monk expected to be named manager within 24 hours

[Alf]

Only a few months until the World cup, anybody getting excited?

Thanks Shaun, tbh I've forgot to edit our position on my custom status. I might leave it at 48th though until the season is over.:joker:

[Mystic Mock]

I'm still shocked that I put 48th instead of 44th at the time.:joker:

But anyway here's my predictions on the fixtures for the teams in the relegation battle in the Championship.

Birmingham vs Fulham - Fulham win
Cardiff vs Reading - Cardiff win
Preston vs Burton - draw
Derby vs Barnsley - Barnsley win
Bolton vs Nottingham Forest - Bolton win

Making the points tally up like this.

19th - Barnsley - 44 points
20th - Reading - 43 points
21st - Birmingham - 43 points
22nd - Bolton - 43 points
23rd - Burton - 42 points

We stay up on goal difference if my prediction is correct, and as long as Bolton doesn't whack Forest, or we don't get whacked against Fulham.

I've got to say well done to Bolton aswell on a well earned win against Forest.

Bolton were going down with 2 minutes left and then bang 2 goals in 2 minutes and they were safe, cant wait to watch it all

[Nicky91]

some exciting and great matches then :love:

It was a well deserved win for Bolton yesterday imo, they could've won by more.

I do feel sorry for the fans that support teams in relegation battles, maybe it's because my team has been in that situation alot whilst I've been growing up that I have alot of empathy for this Bolton fan who's celebrating the team's survival with tears.
