Is this Brennan Johnson's revenge? He misses the mother of all sitters, heading well wide when it would have been easier to score.
HT 0-0, but Canning Town look the better side, and Palace look like they are still in party mode. It's there if they want it.
Johnson is doing everything to make sure we go down - he is the player where promising positions go to die - how he has gone for 84 million pounds in transfer fees is madness.
Football Finance Expert EXPLAINS Why Leicester City's Relegation to League One is SO DAMAGING! More on Leicester's financial plight. They're deep in it, and unless their Thai owner [name withheld, as I couldn't spell it even if I knew it] digs deep into his own pocket (and maybe even if he does, given EFL financial rules), they could very well be staring at administration. Again.
When Fabio Paratici left us for Fiorentina, they were in the relegation zone in Serie A. While the Danish Pastry was having a nap, they signed 6 players and are now 8 points clear of relegation.
Sunderland the latest team to not turn up against one of our relegation rivals, Forest leading and bossing the game. There has to be something going on here - Sunderland are gifting goals to Forest.
There's lying down, but then there's throwing games, and a Sunderland goal was ruled out by VAR. Interpol should be having a close look at the betting patterns from this game, something is extremely fishy here.
Meanwhile the refereeing panel voted that yes, Sunderland's Brobbey actually should have been sent off when he pushed Romero into Kinsky and took him out for the season.
I love the old days of division football. It's gonna be fun watching Spurs swashbuckle their way to a Championship title.
It's a real concern. Obviously, the relative size/wealth of the club would give us a significant advantage in the second division and make us favorites among armchair analysts. But if we go down there will necessarily be significant changes to the squad, and it won't be as simple as splashing the cash and pissing the league. Done well, that would probably happen. But someone(s) will have to know what he(they) are doing, and thus far there is precious little to indicate that the folks in charge at ours qualify. As Leicester and others have shown, you can have relatively quality players and still have a piss-poor squad. The thought of how our 'team' would go about building a roster for that division is, frankly, a scary one.
We will go down to League 1 with these owners and the Danish Pastry as Dof. They simply have no clue when it comes to football, and they will be clueless as ever in the Championship. We went into this season knowing we were in 4 competitions and would play a minimum of 48 games, yet did nothing to address the issues with the squad. In the Championship, we will play a minimum of 48 games with a reduced squad of mediocre players and a bunch of kids in a gruelling, men's league. We have a manager who will not hesitate to call out the owners if he doesn't get what he wants in the summer. Home and away, we will be every team's cup final.
