Match Day Thread General matchday thread.

Doubt anyone has noticed Scunthorpe getting relegated from the National League, from 2007 to 2011 they were up and down from the Championship.

 

All went downhill when they did that documentary about the family on the dole there.

Yeovil too.

 

I think Coventry City have taken the longest to recover the falling from grace, a lot to do with their ground I think. Now currently sitting in the Championship play-offs.

 

I would love to see Luton in the Premier League.
I hope they win the play offs this time,
They've come so close a couple of times in recent years, but they are a well run club, they haven't been funded on Parachute payments and yet they still find themselves regularly in the top 6 of the Championship.
Plus they are only 25 minutes from my gaff, so I could hope over to watch them play Chelsea.

 

Bradford City were in the Premier League as recently as 2000 and are now down in League 2 but currently in play off positions.

 

Might happen the other way around mate

 

Completely erased from my memory Bradford ever being a Prem team.

 

Thoughts and prayers with Ian Botham.

 

Going from Bielsa to Allardyce though.

That's one helluva handbrake turn.

 

I doubt you are old enough to remember Carlisle United being top of the old first div (Prem) beating Spurs to get there and it was the season Manchester United were in the old Division Two.

Even beating Chelsea that season in a slightly different looking Stamford Bridge compared to today...

 

Beating Spurs to be top of first Division?

That was quite a bit before my time, but it's nice to see some things never change.

 

Yep.

Even Spursy back then.

Weird seeing the video reminding me of how Stamford Bridge once looked.

 

Losing to tiny clubs who we should be battering? Nah, looks just like Stamford Bridge today to me.

 

Naaah not really....They were sinking with Bielsa... something had to give. It's how the game works...pretty football alone doesn't cut it...ask Arsenal for a start

Bielsa came in when they were in the championship on the way up...now they find themselves in the trenches in the toughest league in the world

Only one man for the job ahead imo

 

Looked like a car park if I'm not mistaken

 

What still a ****hole

 

Ken Bates and his electric fencing to keep the animals from escaping bruv.

 

We'll see about Allardyce, he didn't too well last time. Who was it, West Brom, I can't remember?

My point is it's the polar opposite in footballing style especially for the fans.

It'll be interesting to see what they make of it, even if he keeps them up.

 

they'll celebrate with him if he keeps them up and then they'll want him gone by October

We know how this works

 

Aye very much this

But it'll be even funnier if they hate it for the next 4 games and still go down lol
