Championship 18/19

[M17TT C]

Simon Jordan was talking about QPR’s problems on Talksport.

The part that made me chuckle was his comment about Harry Redknapp:

“I look at Harry Redknapp in the transfer window of 2013 – I would no more let Harry Redknapp preside over my transfer dealings autonomously, than I would let a syphilitic nutter run around my brothel if I was a brothel keeper.“

It starts at the top with QPR though.

Tony Fernandes can't run a bath on his own.

That was the main point Jordan was making, to be fair. I just picked that bit out as it entertained me.

Listened to Simon Jordan a few times on the radio.
Comes across very well.

I was slightly concerned when I read earlier that Florist had spent £30m in the summer on more than a dozen new players and were one of the promotion favourites.

Watching their game at home to Birmingham, I'm pleased to report that they are as utter shite as usual and will do nothing this year.

Currently losing 0-2 to a totally nothing Brummie team.

Apparently Leeds are going to be in the Champions League in 2020/21. A Leeds fan told me this tonight.

They are already in the Final, and will meet Liverpool.

Considering his recent history, it's unlikely they can keep Bielsa happy for that long - but if they can, that doesn't sound terribly outlandish at all

How many newly promoted teams have managed to get top 4 in their first season?

 

[jb5000]

How many come up with an internationally renowned manager, a large stadium they can easily fill and similar profile and history? A foreign football investor's wet dream

Hang about. You're not the Leeds fan I was talking to, are you?

 

[jb5000]

Haha, hardly- though I must admit living close enough that I’d like them and Middlesbrough to come up to give me an easy away day

**** Leeds, i hope it all ends in tears.

Yep. Again...& again & again & again & again. I don't think I could ever get tired of their suffering. Over my many years of following football Leeds have always served as a force to unite others.
No matter whether you support Exeter or Carlisle, Swansea or Norwich you could always find common ground with any fan from anywhere in your hatred of Leeds. I don't think anything else in the game is so universal.

Hatred for Millwall is pretty much unanimous as well I reckon.

True. But pretty much all of that is down to their subhuman lobotomised fans rather than anything to do with football. The whole Leeds thing stemmed from the pitch (& alledgedly the ref's dressing room)

The fact that I've heard them referred to as "Dirty Leeds" by people who weren't even born when they acquired the monicker must say something I reckon.

& one of my favourite news snippets of all time was a report that when they were relegated to the 3rd tier for the first time in their history,the result that sent them down was cheered when it came over the tannoy...by both sets of fans at every ground in the country.

Jesus. You'd have to give Rolf Harris a job at Barnardo's to generate that kind of hatred.

Wolves get a bye?

In particular at Barnsley vs ourselves that day as we happened to stay up and Barnsley and City fans joined in the cheers and singing... We all hate Leeds and Leeds and Leeds Leeds and Leeds and Leeds and Leeds etc....

“A supporter threw a cabbage at under-pressure Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce before his side's dramatic draw with Preston, in which Glenn Whelan missed a 97th-minute penalty.”

That’d be a turnip for the books.
