Howay

Is Ritchie knackered or something? Barely heard him do anything in ages.

It was coming mind, our lot have no concentration either side of half time.

It's the way they just go into blind panic mode so quick that worries me, from what I saw of Clark in the PL he didn't seem to be up to that standard. Fair enough they could prove me wrong and maybe Mbemba might get some form.

Get in Preston!

Looks like Brighton are starting to dominate their game, hopefully Preston hold on but no doubt they'll give up two shit late goals.

We desperately need defenders if we go up mind

They're heading to the nearest pay phone bank as they heard Gayle was injured so needed to get the scoop from their marra who has teletext on.

Aye he's scored, we're on top and he got a knock hopefully it's just the medical staff wrapping him in cotton wool knowing we've already got Mitro out rather than it being a serious injury.

Really fucking hope this is nowt man, no Mitro and no Gayle would be a right nightmare.

Fuck sake.

They normally get a late run of wins when other teams have fuck all to play for, hopefully they're down before they get the chance to do that this year.

Get in there Gayle, that's 20 goals from him now.

2 up now.

No idea, since they didn't extend it I assume it mustn't have went great, I agree though he offers a bit of pace and awkwardness off the bench. Brighton 1 down, Paul Huntington scored the goal

He did well last time.

I thought it would until I saw each team is capped at 4 non Chinese players which obviously restricts the reach they have. I think most of the top clubs will just take the money and go and buy another player that is at a high level rather than giving youngsters a chance, so I don't think it'll change much in that respect either.

Sammy back from his loan, I was surprised when we loaned him out tbh as I thought he could do a job for us in this league.

I know it was at right back but his performance against Sheffield Wednesday was pretty destructive so he's got it in his locker, I can't recall him having one as bad in CM but I try and block his CM performances out as he's fucking dross. I think Diame was about the only hope of improving Colback, short of buying, but he's away so I think he's just went with the useless bastard that has been playing the position somewhat regularly rather than the useless bastard that hasn't played there in a season.

Agree with that, Anita is a fucking nightmare in CM. I was hoping we'd have someone in but it seems we've tried and been priced out/had our loan bids rejected, hopefully Colback can just put in an average performance rather than another hellish one like last time.

Aye I'm glad he's put Yedlin in

Spot on, I'd not be shocked at all to see him start his tight fisted shite again if Rafa gets us up, survives a season and then watch as Rafa walks out the door over him not allowing spending, he'll then replace him with some prick we'd all long forgotten about for cheap. He could possibly have changed and he could possibly back Rafa to the hilt, but as HF points out with the disinterest in improving training facilities, the smart money is on him being unchanged and he's simply on a ceasefire as HMHM says (similar to how he was last time we were down). I'll never like him tbh. Even if he did back Rafa and let him do his job he'd simply be finally allowing a football man, one that chose to come to the club rather than any sort of inspired decision by him or the fucking imbecile he has running the club, to do his job, which is basically the minimum you should expect from an owner anyway (not on about him dipping into his pocket to back him, just letting the club spend what it makes). The way he fucked over a club legend and then changed the name of the stadium is unforgivable.

That makes sense, shame no one gives a fuck this season

Think he means on telly like. No Trooper I don't think it's on tv, so it'll be another match listening to the radio. Worst part of this season is we're barely on, I'm sure last time we were on fairly regular but I could be remembering wrong.

Was going to say the cheeky fucker! He himself posted that thing about violent crimes white on white, black on white etc that was known to be utter bullshit less than a year ago, then he asked "am I supposed to check to see if these things are true?"

Aye they get openly hostile pretty quickly.
