I'd not heard of Braintree Town until now, have a great day, may your pie be homemade and wholesome.

"Shit". Apparently. According to pre-season reports.


A 3-1 reverse on the cards then.

Well if anyone else wants to come 'out' as supporting a championship team... then I think we can make up a simple league.

Two UKB derbys tomorrow then - Ipswich v Hull and Donny v WHam.. :)

Apparently some other league starts tomorrow.....

I'm struggling to get on this morning, suspect it's just very busy with folk trying to make last minutes changes/entries.

Looks like I'm stuck with all the untransferred players I gambled on moving and the team name of Hmmmm.

Autocomplete FC.. Like it.  I'm in the same boat.

Yes, it would probably be a better name than my crude reference to the Hull manager and his team.. ;) was talking about it with T3 at the depot in thurs, and we were both quite impressed with the autocomplete manager.. Apart from it always wanting to fill my squad with scousers!

I originally picked 10/15 players and used autocomplete but it filled my squad with crocks.  Fortunately I reselected on Thursday so team ok although with no Spurs vs Everton  match I might not be putting out a full team.

This one might be an interesting one - would be a massive catch if it comes off
chances are it won't happen though....

So you get rid of one unhappy player and one mercenary player and in return you get both in one complete bundle (albeit he is rather handy when he hasn't got a face on)? If I was you I would be really, really hoping it doesn't come off.

Wasn't he happy at west ham though, it doesn't rain as much in London as in Manchester does it and there's more than two restaurants.  Maybe his wife will like the idea of the West End a bit more than the Trafford Centre.
Can't see it happening though, surely Arsenal can't/won't pay his wages.

So a fairly good day for the ukb football league contingent..

3T won, and last I heard was 7 pints to the good and rising ;) Brightons good run means that the joiners will have to be coming around to Jaspers house to widen the doorways at bout head height :) Brum looked solid (watch out for Myhill, he's a great shot stopper but can turn into mr Flappy on crosses) restricting Cov to long range efforts..
Sorry Butters, it sounded like a even game from the radio... Chances either way.. Our amazing surprising away form continues.. Mybe I should ditch the season ticket and just go to away games ;)

It's very early, but Leeds look to be havng problems (sorry rich_d) as well as Forest (not sorry for the umbrella man) and (stuffs fist into mouth to prevent sn**gering) Leicester are not racing away as everyone predicted..


Oh, @joeybarton8 keep up the tweets, Im almost starting to warm to you!

Was indeed a good trip, a well-needed confidence boost after last week.

The Hammers fans were in good voice (which I guess explains my croaky state today!) in stark contrast to the Rovers lot!

Whether it was wise to go out in Leeds on our return is questionable, am certainly feeling pretty ropey today as a result...

And tomorrow the proper football starts.


Those of us who support PREMIERSHIP teams.


SYP bus/tram/train pass to Donny sorted, onward train to place where football, and I mean PROPER football is appertaining, none of this "Football League" shite, and then, when 11 sportsmen all have tested themsevles against equal men and,  having found the better (or their equals) and shaken hands upon it, returnèd home.

And of course pushed the ball along with their hand, prior to passing the ball leading to the cross for the goal!

Sorry Butters, it sounded like a even game from the radio... Chances either way..

Pretty much how I read it to be honest - as mentioned earlier in the week we had one fit centre back and Delaney was rushed back by the sounds of things to make up the pair. If we can get a couple of decent centre backs in then I think we could do something this season (top six probably) but decent (and available) centre backs are like rocking horse shit at the minute by all accounts.
