It's tough. I don't really want City to win yet again. But watching Arteta combust with inner fury on the touchline, as they bottle it, will be hilarious.

Yeah. We've been on an amazing run, with a lot of games. But we need to keep that going a bit longer to make sure of that play off reward. I think it will be a lot more like the Derby game than the Wrexham one.

Steady on. He just said that Azaz and Manning might need a rest. Not that the entire squad were abducted, like an old Roy of the Rovers story. 🙂

It's their prison day release kit, for when the sentencing is made. I saw the start of the first half. Incredibly dull. Other than Sideshow Bob having a goal ruled out. Maybe I just need a favourite. The club once owned by a Russian crook, who have just been fined for breaking transfer rules for years. Or the club with over 100 charges against it. So long in reaching a conclusion, you'd think the government was telling the PL to bury it, as it wasn't in our national i test (se also Blair and bribery). Choices, choices...

You see. Geenious. 🙂

You'd read this thread as if he was some sort of unbalanced, easily led man-child. Guy's a genius at lining his own pockets and those of his pals ( defence, markets etc). 🙂 Not to mention ticking off the dream checklist of plenty of right wing hawks, when it comes to foreign policy. So much more to cram in before the mid terms too. Lucky us.

Another couple of months and Tugboat UK could be on hand to help defend something.

I was wondering why they were making such a fuss about who got a corner. 🙂 Mind you, having happily skipped the PL this season. I see the play acting hasn't gone anywhere. Poor Romero. At least today's departure wasn't him getting sent off. He'd been booked in this one, and then made a pointless headed challenge into the back of an opponent's head. Spurs offered nothing beyond a Porro shot, near the end. Sunderland had much stronger players, some more mobile than others, with Xhaka pulling the strings. Much more cohesive than the Random XI Spurs put out there.

Such a shame. They were faffing around with triple subs before it.

They could still have some players on Premier wages, and Championship wages, due to poor contract negotiations, done when the rot had set, but they were kidding themselves. A 5 star hotel on the training ground ( remember the.Vestergard & Winks thing where they wanted to travel in, rather than stay at it) and daft, hard to shift overheads. They may not be able to shift enough wages to meet the L1 rules. If that stops them coming back up ( points deductions), the end of parachute pennies makes it even worse. The trouble their owners are in adds to the uncertainty. Of course, they could still stay up, and their owner see through the next couple of seasons for a reset.

Watching Sunderland have the upper hand v Spurs. No goals yet. 3 of Spurs back 4 on yellows I think.

Convict

Likewise, just to be in the playoffs looked beyond us after such a poor start. As Tonda's first run, turned into a slump, it seemed we would have to fight to get midtable. And there we have the last week or so, beating play off rivals and into a semi final. Hopefully, the next few games consolidate us in there. If the run continues, then we'd need Ipswich form to fall away (although we do play them).

I looked at the Leicester forum earlier. On the whole, fairly balanced, with a lot of echoes of our own, bleaker, times. They're all very aware of the financial disaster of going down again.
