Can you imagine us getting to the fifth round of the cup (lol), it going to penalties and losing it because some knob tried a Panenka?* I would say I’d be on the pitch ready to do 20 years for murder but I think a thousand or so of you would be quicker than me to get there. My head would be on Mars right now if I were a Brentford fan. Should be fined two weeks’ wages and have his head kicked in by the massive centre-halves. I’m almost angry for them.
*my money would be on Dembele. |
Well I've always believed goalkeepers should just try and save penalties rather then guess and flop in the opposite direction; seemingly what every QPR keeper bar Smithies has done in the history of time.
I suppose a Panenka is just another way of trying to score - surely in this data-driven world though it must be factored in that if the keeper doesn't move / guesses you are going to do it then 100% of the time it will fail, unlike with an attempt at a well-hit penalty? You could get that slightly wrong / keeper goes right way and still a certain percentage of the time it will go in? |  | |  |

Don’t be daft. There are only three rounds in the FA Cup. Everyone knows that. |  | | |

2-0 now.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
It's like being locked up in a room with the Crankies and unable to escape. | | | |

Can't see what the problem is... OK Leicester are home tonight and Saturday... we are away tomorrow and then at theirs. . They have an extra day to recover .... we are so good at these 3GW... it's in the bag... all we have to do is turn up.
Yet another shellaking on the cards.... this could get really ugly by Sunday | | | |

Is it beyond the realms of possibility for 6 teams to make up 11 points or less, in 10 games (11 for Norwich)? I don’t see us picking up points anytime soon. And it sounds like that’s not even the aim now .
Thats all it would take . |  | | |

If Ipswich score 15 more goals against Stoke in injury time tonight, we can move up to 15th. Take that 16th place flagellants | |

They hadn’t kept a clean sheet for months until tonight.They would definitely have kept one on Saturday,but that’s one record we can’t break for them now. |  | | |

We have many things to be concerned about, but relegation is not one of them. Put yourself in the position of every team from Portsmouth down. They would all give their right arm to have 47 points. I think we’ll pick up 9 more which will make it an incremental improvement on last season. | | | |

Can’t wait to see what the incremental improvements are tomorrow.
9 points ? I hope you are right | | | |

wouldn't that be the same points as last season and the season before? |  | | |

Feeling tomorrow could be 0-0. We have a habit of pulling something out of the hat when we seem to be completely on the ropes. Lots of praise for Warburton recently, but he was on the brink after a horror show v Swansea (not a once-off phenomenon) at the turn of the year. We had Norwich next who were flying, with the obnoxious Cantwell pulling the strings in midfield. We were damn unlucky to only draw one all and Warburton never looked back for the rest of the season. I think we’ll do something like that either v Brum or Leicester - it always seems that just when the fans are at complete breaking point, that they reel us back in with an unexpected performance. Or lose both games 5-0 is also an option. | | | |

Can they at least put Begovic back in goal? Try and make things more even? |  |

You gotta love the Championship, we get pumped 4-0 at home to Boro and then Charlton go away to Boro and beat them. | | | |

Say what you like about Nathan Jones but that angry little man wouldn’t have built up Boro to be the second coming of Barcelona and certainly wouldn’t have let his team fail to close down and compete | | | |

Charlton can defend. 13 clean sheets this season which is a good effort for a team from league 1. They also won at Sheffield Utd and Ipswich who we struggle to get anything off them. |  | | |

Did Charlton have a go at tackling them every so often? |  | | |

They seem nice guys and although Ruben's wealth blows them out the water, the fact they are far more present and involved and vocal about their club really highlights the contrast for me.
Still hope they crash and burn, of course, or disappear to the Premier League. [Post edited 14 Mar 8:46]

I heard Jeff Stelling tell the story at one of his shows that the pair were going to invest in Hartlepool rather than Wrexham,but changed their minds at the last minute.
One club is still in the conference and the other is knocking on the door of the Premier League. | | | |
