*Official* English Football Season 2016-17

[Lillian Thomson]

The mighty Greens need a maximum of one point from 4 games for promotion.

I've always said Wembley is the way I want to go up

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Football fans are a truly odd species. Portsmouth fans were so desperate for us not to gain promotion at their ground they were cheering on Luton even though they're their nearest rivals for promotion from the chasing pack.

It's a truly good day out. Not sure it makes up for relegation but the signs under Mark Robins are we have turned a corner. Watch the team get sold off now and the next batch of kids come though and be out of their depth...

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Assuming we, Plymouth, get promoted it'll be the first time in my 48 years of watching that we've been in a higher division than Coventry. Fairly useless piece of trivia but never mind.

losing is just so bad though, particularly if it dooms you to another season of non-league shite. The long way trip back is funereal.

Winnings quite fun though.

Kelvin MacKenzie suspended from Currant Bun over Barkley racial slur

From The Guardian.

Every Liverpudlian's favourite comedy ****tard still ****y after all these years.

 

[GIMH]

Day before the Hillsborough anniversary, coincidentally of course.

The comment about drug dealers, meh, but the gorilla pic is like something from the past

Still, good on the Sun for suspending him, just unfortunate that they were somehow unable to read/view these things before they printed it...

Our play off we won was at Stoke.

Never seen us win at Wembley, hate the place.

At this very moment 33 years ago I was just arriving home from a FA Cup semi-final defeat at Villa Park.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Handy late penalty. Just feel like it's all leading to a massive let down now though.

Reading the article that Brumby posted, seems like the image they put along side the article was just as bad. Like, how do alarm bells not go off at all regarding that.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Are there any Cricketweb posters who support any teams in contention for the League One play-offs? Huddersfield, Exeter and Tranmere could all be at Wembley in the other 3 divisions. (I'm dangerously assuming that Plymouth are going up automatically).

 

[Pothas]

Not got a single good memory from a trip to Wembley

Griffin Park was a lot of fun today though, I still sometimes wonder quite how we ended up with players like Jota, he was fairly ridiculous today.

 

[andruid]

Rob Green and Chris Wood definitely did their jobs against Newcastle.

 

[marc71178]

If you ignore the 3 or 4 times Green was bailed out by his defenders to save certain goals as he was out of position or beaten.

Strangely enough for me, 1990 was better than 1994 even though we lost. 1994 was just so crushing as we were so close and I knew we would get smashed in the replay, plus our bus broke down on the way back, we got home at 3am and having misread my school diary I got up the next day for school and it turned out it was a teacher training day.

Anyway looks like another season in league one for us beckons. Wonder what the longest anyone has been in any division outside the top division is.

 

[GIMH]

Got to be Rochdale in the fourth, if you mean ever?

If you mean currently then I can't see past you guys

 

[superkingdave]

Yeah i mean its 'only' 20 years, so there would be someone historically, but currently don't think there's anyone else. Been like 16 relegation battles with the odd playoff run though.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

WTF is Tony Adams up to?
