The Round Ball Game - II

[BBMmk2]

Newcastle 1 Chelsea 2
I am a great admirer of Rafa but I was disappointed with his team selection and tactics ...... surely we should have given it more of a go from the start ..... ????

I’ve not been happy since Bobby Robson was sacked!

Is The Speshul One still the Speshul One does anybody know?

I would say not so far this season - they’ll either get better or he’ll be gone - is this player power as was his downfall at Chelsea?

It's his third season, so what do you expect?

Fort William has now completed six games with cricket scores (for their opposition). Yet FW is one of the largest towns represented in the Highland League.

If they keep up that pace, they will break the record for worst goal difference and most conceded goals with about fifteen games still in hand

I think Jose's time as a club manager is coming to an end. He has not been the same since Real Madrid, the old Mourinho was last seen at Inter. Jose Mk 2 at Chelsea never convinced despite one more title. Portuguese national team manager beckons once United find the courage to resolve the current situation.

Nottingham Forest ( I understand you should never say Notts) 3 The Wobbly Toon 1
3 goals in added time ..... it does not look good for the Mags .....

What’s happening with The Toon these days? They’re rubbish!

Perhaps they need Pardew for another stint. (What did you say Jonny Mac?).

Perhaps more to do with the owner than the manager.

( I understand you should never say Notts)

I've always assumed that it's because Notts. is an abbreviation of the county's name, and Nottm. is an abbreviation of the city's.

Mike Ashley.

Some say he will sell up soon.

I think we should go mainly by the runes.

Wonga - remember them? - have just gone into administration.

How wonderful.

Buddies getting humped today. 4-1 down at half time to the Jambos. Where's JRR when you need it?

Havant 1 Hangers 2 penalties ...... Getting scary
Man City 2 Toon 1 ..... We battled seemingly .......

Oh yes Wonga! Gawd!

Well if I had known that Hartlepools were playing on the south coast , I'd have dropped the Saturday chores and got myself over to Leigh park. Where better to be on a perfect September Saturday ? My favourite days, even without a win.

Good win, tough place to go. The natives are not always too hospitable thereabouts.

Sounds like Saints' half decent form continued today, but luck turned for the better. Bad luck for Palace to run into us on a good day, but they will be ok. Not sure Sparky got his subs right today, but we'll settle for bad substitutions and three points. I listened to bits of it through gaps in my fingers......
