Football League 2016-17

Millwall 1 up, Steve Morison

 

Fans then go on pitch at end of game. They'll never learn. Even Morrison said that they'd ruined it for him.

 

I was rooting for Bradford.

 

Carvahal going to be out of a job soon, so if the rumours of him being on our shortlist of Puel replacements then will make it easier

 

Wow! What a division the Championship is going to be again with Leeds, Cardiff, Birmingham, Wolves, being joined by Millwall to see who is the "top dog." Pity West Ham aren't there as well. Lots of Sunday kickoffs at 1200 for fixtures involving these clubs.

 

Whens the Championship and league 2 play off finals?

Come on Hudders & Exeter!

 

Going to Wembley next week for the League 2 final. My mate is a Blackpool fan so im going down for the day with him but I'm conflicted as their owners are such gangsters. Should be a good day out regardless!

Bestest fans selling out.

 

That may have been written as a joke, but its actually unfair, SD13. They've almost certainly done the sensible thing if they want their club to progress beyond its present attainments. As for 'selling out', as far as I know, the shareholders haven't made a penny on their ownership, so they had to be quite sure that the club was going into good trusted hands. I think they've made the right choice too.

 

I agree, it was always going to be hard for those fans that saved their Club from oblivion, they should be applauded for that, no matter how much you dislike them, but the the costs were mounting up and Fratton Park needs a safety upgrade quoted at £4.1m, they either had to accept the offer, which on the face of it seemed a reasonable one, or face a further reduction in capacity and it would not have ended there. They may have a dream to one day meeting us in a genuine derby game and I wish them good luck with that. Meanwhile we have our own problems, we need investment if we are to progress but it will have to be somewhat larger than the Mickey Mouse deal.

 

Yes, that is going to be the major subject of the next couple of months, I think. So much flows from it. Helping to keep players, getting key ones in, etc... My slight concern is whether Lander Holdings have sufficient financial clout after they've paid their £220M for 80% [I think that's the ballpark figure], but then again, would Katharina be selling responsibly if she and her team didn't think Lander could do any more than she is willing to. The odd thing is, she could easily bankroll Saints to the next level all by herself, but she has a full family life outside of football and she wants to keep her personal fortune. Understandable. I think her Dad would have taken Saints further and perhaps even all the way.

 

I genuinely hope it works out, he seems to be saying all the right things.

Good luck to them.

 

Lincoln City have already sold 4,000 season tickets. The world has gone mad. lol. Early bird prices don;t even finish until 10th June and lots of renewals not renewed yet as they have until that date.

 

So, who do we want to go up today?

Huddersfield for me. Reading would be boring.

 

One of huddersfields players is Martin cranie who used to play for us. He was asking whether I hate him because he went to them let down the road. I didn't actually know he did so couldn't care less but what are others views on him?

 

Hudders without doubt.

I wanted Reading the least out of the 4 so will be pissed if they come up.

Come on Hudders!

 

Reading for me, Huddersfield fans are up there with Leeds in complete ****ers stakes. Reading a bit of a West Brom for me, just a whole bunch of meh

 

A lot of backing for Sheff Wed and Fulham before the semis, now everyone wants Huddersfield in the final. The whole 16-17 football season has been boring. It's going to be Reading.

 

From a completely selfish perspective, away games v Reading will involve a shorter trip than going to St Marys, so I'd be happy if Reading won. On the other hand, a mate of mine used to work in Huddersfield, and we had some good nights out there. From the little I can remember of them

 

What a miss!
