Football League Show - 23:55 tonight

To be fair, if we were in their positions, say for instance Leyton Orient suddenly were getting, a rich and owner who cares about the club, a new stadium, and got a new manager, and were thirteen points clear, and undefeated at home for ages, and pretty much one of the few teams that is not only making progress, but also keeping within financial plausability. We would be pretty jealous too.

Plus News won't sell without a little bit of DRAMA. The BBC is pretty confident that we're going to end up in the championship, which will be the right way to go for us, it does not irk me in the slightest, because to be frank they could be ITV meridian. (Though I have to say my opinion of Portsmouth has increased a little ever since we kicked their arses in the FA cup.)

Wouldn't mind Rob Elliot in between the sticks for us next season
He's only 24, would be a good investment IMO.

Claridge: "At this stage of the season it's important to know you've got a performance in you." Funny, I thought this was the stage of the season when results matter more than performances. But what do I know?

Of course there'll be a long bit on the Championship! They're just longing to do an item on tiring Brighton's stumbling at the top, how plucky little Swindon played them off the park but were beaten by bad refereeing decisions (oh yes, and one flukey good goal.....), how Brighton have been 'found out', and that they're not in fact as good as Claridge has kept telling everyone.
Expect fifteen minutes on our faltering stagger towards promotion or the play-offs!

It's just all bollocks isn't it.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, commentate.

Oh, and Robinson, we're 15 points clear of you with two games in hand. fuk off you twat.

Funny how it's such a disadvantage for away teams to have to play at Withdean, with its terrible facilities, and yet not for our players, who get it 23 times a season. And what about previous seasons, when we couldn't win a home game for love or money?

yes, I too found this a strange argument!

 

[narly101]

why do colchester have such shit looking goals?

 

[clapham_gull]

Thought Claridge got it spot on, but the other bloke isn't even the manager of a real football club so his opinion doesn't count.

 

[7:18]

what on earth is the JPS??

 

[fisons]

why do colchester have such shit looking goals?

For the same reason that Noddy has a bell on his hat

 

[Bigtomfu]

It's utterly incredible that week in week out these half wits claim that we're not the best team in the league by a fox hunting country f***ing mile yet they sit there smugly and earn their miserly appearance fee for doing so.

Karl 'we beat you at our utterly under populated cow shed stadium' Robinson can go do one. The proof of the pudding is in the serious eating my pedigree chum and we're 15 (Fifteen) points clear of you, you franchise pieces of shit.

Give us some f***ing credit you bunch of Marxist bastards.

 

[acrossthepond]

does anyone remember last year, when it was norwich this, and norwich that. rsoles.

We must be the luckiest team in the universe. We somehow scrape the championship in 2001-2 by six points and take four points off Reading in the process, despite obviously not being the best team in the division, at least according to Alan Pardew.

Now we're somehow 13 points clear at the top of the league despite the fact that only "the table" says we're the best team in the division this year.

Well, Mr Robinson (and others), the table is utterly impartial, utterly indifferent, utterly truthful and utterly revealing, and clearly shows the best team in the division without doing so through the filter of Franchise-sponsored, Wankelman-themed, can't-fill-or-finish-your-stadium, not-a-real-football-club bitterness, you complete cock.

Yes I think this about sums it up for me!

And I agree with Edna's observation. This comes up time and time again too, so is immensely infuriating!
