General Championship stuff including non-Midlands teams

[El Guapo]

Couple more signings and we'll look alright for top 10. Abraham to come in, and probably Matthews as well. We'll have a good squad with very good good options beyond the first 11.

...Huddersfield, like us, could well go under the radar.

Suppose you were half right with Huddersfield...

See Villa are still shit.

yoyoyoyoyo !

 

[Bluebird_Dai]

Neil Warnock confirmed he's staying with us until the end of next season minimum. Great news for us especially when the only way it was going to happen was if the board backed him financially. Possibly means Vinnie T hasn't quite had enough of us just yet.

Akpan given an extra game ban. Presumably the reason it's taken so long for a decision is that they had to wait for the ref to stop pretending to fall backwards to hear his version of events.

One match ban for Monk and 2 for Wagner after their touchline battle the other week..

[Ciderhead]

Swap them around and take 1 off for Wagner and you're about right

 

[AnkleBiter]

I'm assuming he has 2 because he's been warned about it before after doing the same against Derby (funnily enough, McClaren didn't take any offence!)

 

[Magic]

Hard to argue with those calls.

 

[LeylandWhite]

Monk acted like a bellend and Wagner gets in trouble aswell, how does that work?

For once I agree with you, I see nothing wrong with Wagner's actions before Monk started.

Well you don't know the rules very well then

Whether you want to see 'passion' if that's what it is then that's fine but ultimately it's against the rules to do what he did (and he has previous). We all know it's daft to be booked for celebrating with the fans but if someone does it you can't argue they shouldn't be booked.

Loss of 9.8m per our accounts, better than I expected, turnover up 7m and gate receipts up 60%.

Where did you find this? Ours haven't been released but I've seen that Villa's have.

yeah I see no reversal on your opinion if monk ran down the touchline and wagner bumped into him zzzzzzzzzzzz

Yeah I did mate, they'll click into gear tonight though

According to the Football League, John Swift was the best young player out of all 3 divisions for January.

All the more impressive when our official player of the month went to Liam Kelly who is younger than him..

Your accounts have been submitted under the Bristol Sport Ltd banner, interesting that you're not making it public to your fans unless I've missed it.

That surprises me, admittedly I didn't look into too deeply but expected Lansdown to hide the figures amongst the group and without me downloading the accounts I'm unsure as to their contents.

Edit...

Having just looked at your accounts, albeit briefly I'm bloody amazed you've lost 13m and on a wage bill not too dissimilar to ours last term, our turnover is more than than double mind.

 

[Super_horns]

6 match ban (well 3 added on) for this guy.

Fair or a little harsh as Steve Bruce suggests?

About time in the season now for some predictor thingz!!1!

http://www.thefishy.co.uk/calc.php

I ended up with:

1. Newcastle +50 100
2. Brighton +40 99
3. Huddersfield +18 95
4. Leeds +16 82
5. Sheff W +19 81
6. Reading +8 80
7. Fulham +26 78
8. Barnsley +3 65
9. Norwich +3 65
10 Preston +3 65
11. Brentford +4 60
12. Derby -2 59
13. Aston V -7 57
14. Cardiff -6 56
15. QPR -16 55
16. Wolves -2 54
17. Ipswich -12 54
18. Birmingham -20 53
19. Blackburn -12 52
20. Burton A -14 49
21. Nottm F -15 49
22. Bristol C -11 47
23. Wigan -18 40
24. Rotherham -55 22

And I thought I was being quite optimistic.. Though I did have us drawing with Birmingham on the final day.

Had the playoffs going right down to the wire as well, Fulham going to Sheff W with any of those 2, Leeds or Reading potentially missing out

Are you a Wolves fan in disguise? I'd take that

Ha, I had us beating you after uming and ahing and maybe overcompensated slightly to make up for it!

Could be an epic final day this season.
I know I've probably been way too harsh on all the teams from 15th downwards btw.

 

[hodge]

How many times did you have to redo it to finish above Brighton...?

 

[AnkleBiter]

My one and only!

To be fair this time last week I'd have probably had Newcastle in 3rd instead
