Predictions then:

League One

1) Coventry City


Just exactly what type of mind-bending drugs are you on???????

1:) We're in administration
2:) We'll be deducted more points next season if we're still in administration.
3:) The administratoir can't work out who owns the "Golden share", so the football club can;t be sold because no-one will buy it as it may turn out to be worthless
4:) We're under an transfer embargo
5:) We're 60 million in debt
6:) Our squad is weaker than last season
7:) We have no stadium to play in
8:) We don't even own part of a stadium, or have any revenue streams coming in other than ticket sales on matchday. We spent this season's ticket money last year.
9:) The fans hate the owners with a passion
10:) Our home games may well be played at Walsall, Rushden, Hinckley, Northampton instead of actually in the same fucking county that Coventry is in

Shoulders?-Stomach!

At a loss for suitable candidates from the Championship stock, I think Reading or QPR will take the title next year.

Why do you tip Crewe to go down you callous FUCKER? They've won two (very minor) trophies in the last two seasons and this year fielded their first all-academy side. Plus they have one of the hottest young managers in the lower leagues in Steve Davis, if they can keep him.

I think QPR will struggle out of the three relegated sides, Reading may do well. It'd be boring if either of them won the league again so soon after they last did.

Sozm8. Like I say, I don't follow League One or Two and haven't done since Leeds were down there.

About 90% of the BBC payroll c.1973, apparently.

6) Tranmere Rovers

21) Crewe Alexandria
22) Walsall

League Two
23) Mansfield Town
Think all these are a bit unrealistic. Big Mick would have to work some magic with a very mediocre squad at Ipswich (and cummon, I'd be really surprised if Watford aren't up there). Cov we've already covered, Swindon are cutting costs and have lost players, Tranmere collapsed from halfway onwards last year. Crewe and Walsall have done well under Steve Davis and Dean Smith respectively, while there's very little precedent for a Conference champion struggling. And I know you've said you don't know much about League One/Two - but there's four promotion places in the latter!

I'm biting my lip with dignity reading this thread. I'm fully expecting Norwich City to prove everyone wrong next season.

I think we're all missing the obvious error here - Derby will clearly run away with the Championship, with Conor Sammon nailed on as top scorer. Mark my words.

I'm only half listening, so I might be wrong, but the Mourinho press conference hasn't yet featured any talking about football. Lots of peripheral stuff, but no football.

Thus proving that the English football press isn't interested in football.

Rolf Lundgren

They asked what he would call himself now and he said the happy one so that's all we're going to hear for the next two years.

"After conceding a late equaliser at home to Hull, the Happy One looked very much like the Sad One."

"The Happy One had every reason to be just that when Mata wrapped up all three points with a coolly taken finish."

Seriously, do one.

Slaaaaabs

Quite flexible with the truth is Mr. Mourinho.

Viero_Berlotti



I'm liking Pellegrini already, just because he looks as if he could be a villain from a hammer horror film.

Hank Venture

He looks like Evil Arsene Wenger.

Or, from a certain angle, Mark from The Hotel.

I cannot handle football free weekends.

I don't mind games not being on TV. The cricket, the Lions are perfectly adequate replacements. It's going to the game that I miss. I've not shouted "you fucking cunt" at a stranger in public for over a month now :(

daveoblivian

This isn't a football free weekend TV-wise. Confederations Cup starts tonight, 8pm BBC3 :)

Arsene Wenger looks like the evil Arsene Wenger. He looks like a gestapo officer (more so when he first came here, grey hair has softened his visage to a degree)

Shoulders?-Stomach!

Let's hope for Man City's sake his talk of attractive attacking football doesn't end up like Ruud Gullit's undelivered promise of the same thing at Newcastle.

Uruguay v Spain tomorrow night at 11 (!)

A flavour of USA '94 for all the nostalgics out there.

Some World Cup group stage matches will be kicking off at 2am! Wonder what pubs will do if England have a game at that time. Believe games will be 5pm, 8pm, 11pm, 2am.

I fondly remember being in a pub in Poland last year when the Man U v Arsenal game was on.  A particularly passionate individual - no idea which side, if any, he was on - was calling everyone a fucking cunt.

It started off being annoying - to both sets of fans, neutrals and all the bar staff - but by the middle of the game we'd all warmed to him and were encouraging him along.

"Oy, mate, what do you think about the linesman in this game?"
"THE LINESMAN IS A FUCKING CUNT!"

"Oy, mate, what do you think about the fans in the left hand side of the stadium?"
"FUCKING CUNTS, ALL OF THEM!"

"Oy, mate, what do you think about the groundsman?"
"LEAVE THE FUCKING GROUNDSMAN ALONE, HE'S DOING HIS BEST!"

I like mental football fans.

9pm too, by my calculations. There's only one match at 2am to be fair, 10 at 11pm though.

Saturday 14th June 2014, D3 v D4 in Manaus, at 2am our time. Bagsy staying up for it.
