26/27 - Other Games

[AlexLaw76]

And it begins, again.

Just seen that Boro v Wrexham is on telly this week (league cup, I know).

 

[suewhistle]

So are Saints.. In fact it seems most of the cup games are.

[Saint Neil]

Yeah we are the big game on Sky Sports Main Event on Saturday.

Really pissed off at this continual Wrexham fuck fest.

It’ll continue as long as the carnival is at the club.

Dan Neil got hooked at half time tonight and Rangers fans aren't happy with him, comparing him to Joe Rothwell. Maybe another one dodged.

[Saint86]

So much for the much hyped Bristol city in their opening game! 

[East Kent Saint]

Boro v Wrexham , any chance they could both lose ??

To be fair, the pitch at The Riverside is looking beautiful. Must have been really well watered over the summer.

I heard they watered it with Gibson's tears.

[Pamplemousse]

Would be a shame if they suffered a play-off defeat hangover. Must be hard, three opportunities to get promoted, three times fucked it up.

Wasn’t the man(?) I was thinking of, but it works.

[die Mannyschaft]

Shit Fc v Crap Fc, but let's hope the home team lose, a red card for Boro player would be nice or a few ACLs.

[Pamplemousse]

Do the Boro fans know there's a game on tonight or have they all come dressed as plastic seats?

Looks like all the stands aren't open.

Commentator says large crowd....

[influx]

Is it just me or do all the Middlesbrough players have really shit faces.

Yep…. Shit hair too 

[Birder Saint]

Commentator couldnt resist a Tonda reference of course

[hypochondriac]

Obviously very early days but no sign yet that Boro are markedly better than last season.

Commentators mentioning you can’t have a behind closed doors friendly at the training ground! 
 

Middlesboro look like you can bypass the press by chipping it to the half way line!! 

[East Kent Saint]

AA scores and then hits the post , now 3-0

Meanwhile, Tonda is probably sat at home and like the rest of us wondering why they  cancelled Emmerdale and Coronation St to show this shit. 

[Birder Saint]

Wow didnt realise ITV had it. Good finish by Lankshear but apart from Callum Doyle wrexham look average

Not really worried about them while they keep the same manager. 

[BotleySaint]

1 goal from ex-striker, 1 from player we missed out on who went to rivals. Season has begun!

[Window Cleaner]

Skate #38 must be a serious candidate for the first red of the season.

Oh no, not drinks breaks again.

Russel Martin has learned nothing. 

[Stripey McStripe Shirt]

Pompey looking very Southampton away in yellow and blue. Desperate to emulate us, I expect.

I thought the same, their away kit is very ‘us’ and our away kit is more ‘them’. Weird decisions from both clubs.

[goodymatt]

Tuned into the skates game to see both of those WHU goals. My 4 year old is starting to understand and cheered the goals they conceded, good lad.

[whelk]

How come Preston are playing at Goodison Park?

[Saint Neil]

Deepdale having a new pitch installed.

Sold it to the women’s team in one of those loophole PSR deals.

Cheating bastards

Sounds suspiciously like Boro were engaged in a bit of cheating 🙂 

[suewhistle]

Is "I didn't know" an adequate defence?

[saintant]

Arma up top on his own tonight against Blackburn - surprised at that and Jiminez on the bench is another shock unless he has a fitness issue.

[Turkish]

Why isn’t Stewart starting for Blackburn?

[sockeye]

No LND no problem

Because he prefers Rhossli Bay to the Darwen monument.

Some managers never learn.

Hopefully, he'll be a starter for them this season.

[HarvSFC]

Could do with someone signing Fer Lopez before the window's end. Playing like you'd expect a £19m player to play in the Championship.

Armstrong putting in his usual non-performance in the central role.

As usual he looks ridiculously ineffective there.

Unbelievable that any manager would play him there.

It's fine in the Championship

We are five points adrift of the top of the table, Wolves and the mighty Blackburn joint top as it stands. Not good enough, ST out.

But only -4 from playoffs which is minimum this season

Seven points now. Sack the board tonight
