Greatest match thread never.

Greatest match thread never.

I think we should have a poll:

Match thread of the week:

1. The White-Knuckle Plovdiv Blackout
2. Schizophrenic South-Coast Fantazia
3. Oriental Pandemic Nightmare.

 

[LEGO Boy]

Yep, yellow card given to Mrs. P for her deeply hurtful, highly offensive and incredibly insensitive remarks regarding masculine organisational decision-making.

[Steed_Train]

Did better than AVB who you claimed did better than Redknapp by finishing lower

This is a match thread you boring tossers.

 

[Larry David]

This thread will make 1000 pages and we don’t even have a game

 

[cretinousgoat]

We play Chelsea

But if Chelsea then also have an outbreak....

 

[ElTel]

Disgraceful from Leyton Orient. Forfeit the game ffs

 

[RealCoolYid]

Third glorious away win in a row.

Best game deles had in a while

 

[yes]

Why are people wanting to pack in the cup? We ain’t winning the league but we have a decent shot of winning the Carabao Cup, FA Cup and Europa League.

That’s a treble. I’ll take that every day of the week. It’s time to give our Audi Cup some fucking company

 

[Clynelish]

So

- It won't be played this evening
- there's no space in the calendar to refix
- Levy and Travis just arguing now about levels of compensation

Skywalk for their board and players + 5k.

"It's an incentive not to test".

Fuck me, how detached are people becoming from each other? Even if you're one of those anti-mask nutjobs who thinks this is just a flu, it's still a deadly pandemic and you're happy to be willfully ignorant and have your full squad of players and staff play and likely infect other humans until the entire world of footballers and staff and eventually their families have got it.

 

[hiatus]

Ultimately, this is the EFL's fault. They're the ones that released ridiculous guidelines for testing in League One and Two. They're the ones who created the rules for this very situation, which are now being ignored.

This entire thing is a powderkeg waiting to explode because of the disparities between the leagues, a situation that was entirely predictable, but no meaningful steps were taken to address it.

 

[Mrs Perryman]

Bin vote cast.

Apologise or I'll wrestle you.








P. S didn't foul vote. Obvs!

I'm not apologizing, so it'll have to be the wrestle. We can sell tickets!

 

[Clynelish]

Leyton Orient are currently 9th in League Two so not to be underestimated.

 

[AussieYiddo]

Big shame for them feel sorry for Orient, but us winning a game via forfeit would be of huuuge benefit to us with our schedule.

 

[Yorkshire Yid]

We'll probs end up losing to Chelsea, losing in Europa League, and having serious injuries all over the place. All for shitty Carling Cup. This fixture list should be a breach of human rights and labour laws.

Fucking hell you're really living up to your user name...

 

[pakistani-spur]

Was kinda looking forward to the game tomorrow but i'll take it.

 

[Mrs Perryman]

Why?

We didn't do anything to create this situation.

Its not like the EFL wanted the game to go on but we protested, which even if we did that would be the right decision. The rules were clear and laid out for everyone.

Just shows some compassion towards smaller clubs, that amount is a peanut to us, means a lot more to them.

 

[DSanditon]

They really are inept aren't they?

To me it reeks of the EFL trying their hardest not to upset broadcasters or betting agencies. So easier to defer it to the government who have no incentive to go ahead with it.

Wankers.

Several Orient players have tested positive, there's no way the game should go ahead and there will be a torrent of criticism if the match is played.

What is there to discuss and why is it taking so long?
