*Official* English Football Season 2014-15

[Pothas]

It has been a great season, better than any of us could have hoped but that there is no escaping that we have really ****ed it up the last few weeks. Hate how football does that to you.

 

[GIMH]

It has been a great season,

Ignore list for you

 

[Uppercut]

What hasn't helped De Gea is the last few weeks he hasn't stood out. Our defence has been stronger so less need for his miracles, and also a couple of goals conceeded that were disappointing from his POV (Benteke springs to mind). Wrong time of year, and being a goalkeeper magnifying the errors, may cost him.

Yeah one big mistake today that should've seen him red-carded too, and won't be happy about the goal. Still had a great season overall but not as good as Hazard or Sanchez, and of those two I'd give it to Hazard.

 

[GIMH]

If I'm not mistaken then POTY awards were long since decided

Oh, and you can all **** off

 

[Lillian Thomson]

As Chelski are still the same joyless bunch of spoilers in the big games that they were under the special one last time, it makes you wonder why they bothered sacking him.

 

[BoyBrumby]

I think Uncle Roman decided it's better being a joyless bunch of spoilers who win titles than a marginally less joyless bunch of spoilers who don't.

Today's moral kids: it's better to be a mediocre winner than a good loser.

 

[grecian]

Was a great goal though, but glad I watched the Reading-Arse match.

 

[GIMH]

In a bit Micky lad

Interesting time to change managers. We have a dull manager playing dull football in a terrible division and play Tranmere next week. I've never known such apathy towards a promotion push as nobody thinks we have a prayer.

It's probably too late but at the same time there was no point him staying to take us down.

And if Rogers/Garnett pull off a miracle, then of course he avoids having ended a 94-year stay in the football league on his CV. Bell end

You'll wallop us next week btw.

A far as I can tell, only 2 or 3 clubs with as much football league history as us have ever been down there. Possibly a couple more who have bounced back that I missed. And it's not like Stockport where the club is a mess off the pitch. Things are the brightest they've been in about 15 years in that respect - or they would be if we weren't about to bounce into oblivion

I'd love to be bitter and blame this on all my hatred of the modern game but, aside from the abandonment from the good people of the Wirral (and that's always been an issue, it's just harder to counter it these days when you're fighting the machine) this is 100% our own doing. I could bore you all with the causes but I won't, alas IMO this is a decline with roots way back in 1994. But I never thought we would sink this low and it breaks my ****ing heart

If it's any consolation (it won't be, I know) the Conference is effectively the fifth division nowadays anyway.

Trying to think of teams with as long league history as your chaps who've been down there.

Lincoln, Darlington (RIP), Brizzle Rovers maybe Oxford and (Boo) Luton?

Stockport (conf north mind you) and Grimsby too. That's about it.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

The first FA Cup Final I watched on TV in full was Arsenal v Liverpool in 1971. A few years later I had a premonition that those two teams would also be involved in the last one I ever saw. I was relieved when May 4th 2002 came around and am hoping for a Villa win today.

It's utterly depressingly hideous though with half the teams an utter joke, and with only 2 promotion places to grab, miserably hard to get out of for the other half that aren't.

The divide between the fully professional and semi-pro teams is pretty marked, yeah.

Saw the mighty U's play Hyde last year and, in all seriousness, Hyde were the worst team I've ever seen. They'd obviously lost funding or something because there's no way the shower they had out could've got them out of Conference North. Had a chap playing for them and we were uable to decide if he was the left back, left midfield or centre midfield, so poor was his grasp of positional play.

Looked like he was someone's mate they'd dragged out of the pub because they were a man short.

United won 7-2 and should be embarrassed they didn't hit 10.

My old man would've been 4 then.

Sounds familiar, but City managed to lose to teams like this, canvey Island (twice) and Stafford Rangers being particular joys at home.

Anyway Gimp, umm it's really good fun, sure you'll enjoy it, if it happens

Mine had been dead for three years.
