Today's Games 2018/19 Season

Arses 2-0 down at Wolves, Mancs having a ding-dong but still 0-0...

 

City 2 up. That should be the title .
Fred is one of the worst players I've ever seen.
De Gea drops another bollock for the 2nd.

 

Shame. I hoped this might be the game that gave Liverpool the chance to win the league.

 

**** it. Not only does my team never do what I want, every other team I have a casual interest in seeing win, even just the once, ****s it up too.

I’m cursed I tell you, cursed!

 

They had more than plenty back in 76!

 

I remember Fred being booed by the Brazilian fans during the World Cup there a few years ago. Staggered Utd. bought him. Loved Roy Keane tearing into his old team once again

Bolton Wanderers were relegated from the Championship on 19 April
Bolton's game against Brentford on Saturday has been called off by the English Football League after Bolton's players said they would not play until they receive the wages they are owed.
The match was called off 16 hours before it was scheduled to kick off.
None of the March wages owed to the Wanderers' players have been paid.
"As a result of these disappointing developments, the league has been forced to suspend Saturday's fixture," an EFL statement said.
"The club [Bolton] is now deemed to be guilty of misconduct and will be referred to an Independent Disciplinary Commission.
"The EFL Board will now consider the matter of determining whether the fixture will be played or not."
In a club statement, Bolton said they "would like to apologise for the inconvenience this will cause".
Brentford's squad travelled north from London on Friday in preparation for the Championship game, which was due to be played at the University of Bolton Stadium.
Bolton's relegation to League One was confirmed on 19 April when they lost to Aston Villa.
Earlier on Friday, Wanderers' squad had issued a joint statement, saying the financial situation was "creating mental, emotional and financial burdens for people through no fault of their own".
They added that it was "placing great strain on ourselves and our families".
The players also apologised to supporters for what "may be seen as drastic action" but stressed the decision had "not been taken lightly" and that they had taken the stance "with deep regret".

 

Apparently the proposed new owner was at Watford and banned for irregularities and has been bankrupt twice. If the EFL allow the sale to go through it will be out of the frying pan for the supporters and if it doesn't go through the club will be wound up. And we think we've got problems...

 

sad state of affairs at Bolton, it's scandalous the Bolton chairman has been allowed to get away with this. The Forest Green chairman on Talksport said they bought one of his players for a million and hadn't received a penny for him. The Bolton chairman taunted him by saying ''sue me''. And we think we've got a wrongun in Uncle Tone

 

The trouble is Bolton could go down the pan and it would cost Ken Anderson very little. Company law in this country almost encourages this sort of snide behaviour...

 

This thread shows what a c*nt Ken Anderson is and what a waste of space the EFL are. How is it that they approve so many patently unfit and, in some cases, criminal owners from destroying long.established clubs?...

 

On Sky News it was reported some poor sod booked a hospitality box for his stag do today and has been told he has little prospect of a refund...

 

Delli Ali is such a cheating, diving bastard. If the referee doesn't see it as a free kick to Spurs then surely he has to book the prick?

 

going back to Bolton gam, EFL were looking into getting the youngsters to play the game against Brentford and the saving grace for the young team is that they played late on Thursday.
I always thought that the EFL checked owners to ensure that they were genuine and had the necessary funds town a club however having just heard what I heard on the radio, I do wonder whether the EFL are fit for purpose.

 

Just watching spurs v the hammers

I thought i heard the commentator (the annoying non-ex pro) say the spurs free kick facing the end behind the hammers goal holds 17,000 alone

It strikes a chord how much the modern game at the top end has evolved

Build it and they will come it seems

 

Yep. It's something that he simply doesn't seem able to eradicate from his game.
I find him immensly frustrating.
Undoubtedly very talented, but he tends to take 3,4,5 touches when 1 or 2 will suffice, which then leads to play being slowed down. He also often coughs up possession far too cheaply.
Not a starter in my best England side.

 

Spurs have always been a pretty big club haven't they?

 

Good goal hammers

 

Yes Col they have but their new stadium capacity is 62,000, and sold out

That's a lot of true support plus tourists

Makes me think a new rangers stadium of 30k could be filled regularly with prem football and 'proper' management
