Shoulders?-Stomach!

With the Scottish League Cup and the Champions League qualifiers, the 3 day gap between seasons has well and truly been bridged.

Saddle up for the wild ride ahead.

Who is going to win the thing this time? Your team? I wouldn't bet on it mate.

Man City will spend another half a billion and win the title. Done.

Who will win the Champions League who knows.

The latest David Squires cartoon makes a repeated reference to a "carrot that looks like Sting". Is this an actual thing, because I can't find any reference to it online even though Google's autocomplete shows many people have searched for the same text.

Even with your tactic of following 56 teams, yours will fail.

Which thing, the Scottish League Cup or the Champions League?

As my team's Oldham, can't see them winning either.

Can't see them winning a fucking thing anyway, the latest official update from the club was that there's some kind of battle going on between the board, the local council and some rogue group of fans over who runs the facilities in one of the stands, meaning they've shut the stand down. All this despite our glorious 1-0 pre-season victory over Raja Casablanca.

Also, we have Chris O'Grady up front and his legs are made from osmium.

I took it to be simply things related to Newcastle.

Ludogorets dumped out of the CL by Ferencvaros, now they slither down into the Europa League with all the other loser effluence. Ferencvaros is an awesome name for a football club, shame they're such a mediocre team.

Forest won back to back European cups, still shit though. Ohh Ferencvaros were good nearly 50 years ago, ohh. Now they get dumped out in qualifying by the likes of Partizani. They're not even named after Ferenc Puskas like I'd assumed, an absolute failing.

Kilmarnock losing to fucking Connah's Quay at home.

To paraphrase The Thick Of It: "Who are they? I have never heard of them. They don't exist."

Chapter 14 - Who Needs Awards

- Neil insisted Adel turn up to the awards ceremony post-promotion. Adel won goal of the season but came second in the player of year category, to Paddy Kenny of course.

- Adel left the awards early because he hadn't won the top award - Neil was so disappointed with his behaviour, because he had treated him like a son. Neil text Adel at half-past midnight and told Adel how King Warnock could make or break his career.

- As the prospect of a points deduction looms, Neil warns the physios and cleaners that if he sees anybody moping around, he'll 'jump them'

- The press were asking about Mark Palios, who was doing the rounds on TV demanding Cuu Pee Arr lose points. Neil politely points out his affair with a secretary, and suggests Mark is used to cheap publicity.

- Neil visits Adel's agents, and hears how Taraabt wanted the club to wear shirts supporting the victim of a Moroccan bomb blast. 'Only a few weeks ago, Sharon and I had sat in the same cafe when I went out to watch Adel play for Morocco. A shiver went down my spine when I saw the News At Ten.'

- Neil then mutters something about Scotty Parker, Aidy Boothroyd and Dean Smith being solid football men, apropos of nothing.

- 'I am sure Adel can pick up money in the far-east, just walking around and performing his tricks.'

- On the day of the Leeds game (last day of the season) the club find out they've not been deducted any points - Clint Hill was weeping in the dressing room. 'A moment in time none of us would forget.'

- 'It was happy. Happy Party Time.'

- 'The Championship Trophy is a beautiful trophy, much prettier than the Premiership one. I asked Sharon if she wouldn't mind me sleeping with it. She didn't, as long as she didn't have to do the same, so she slept in the spare room.'

- 'It would have looked great on the mantelpiece. It was a pity we didn't have a mantelpiece.'

- Warnock was the only title winning manager in the top four divisions who wasn't voted manager of the season for his division, but he definitely wasn't bitter about it. He actually thought it was funny, and everyone at the awards ceremony knew he should of won it. 'I knew that I was the best manager by miles and that is all that matters.'

- 'There are only six or seven managers that I cannot stand.'

- Warnock claims he has helped Roberto Martinez, Moyes, Wenger, Brendan, Malky Mackay and hundreds of others.

Squires is such an unfunny cunt.

Anyway, posting here to laugh at Kilmarnock and I'm not even a Welsh.

Having watched most of the second half on a poor quality stream, Killie look lost without Steve Clarke and last season's loanees. I fear the appointment of Angelo Alessio might prove to be a mistake, which is a shame as at least they didn't go for one of the same boring old 'fitba men' that do the rounds on the Scottish managerial scene.

Some Killie fans had already booked their accommodation for the next round in Belgrade. Oh dear.

Still, the pies at Rugby Park are excellent, so there's always that.

Connah's Quay's nickname are the Nomads. But they are situated in one place no?

Shoulders?-Stomach!

Quote"Yesterday I said 'no complacency' because I've played in a lot of these games. But today I repeat, we had two opportunities to score.

2 opportunities. At home. Against Connah's Quay? Wow sounds like you hammered them mate.

Quote"Every action was a foul, a yellow or red card. Unbelievable. Connah's Quay gave away a lot of fouls, but this is their strength.

Cantona would've killed that.
Welcome to the fucking UK.

And we've got Urko Vera, possibly the worst footballer I've ever seen.
