Championship Pub Match Day Banter 08/09 (Goals & Assists)

Where do Sporting Life dream up their "who is in control" lines?

The last five lines of Plymouth vs Charlton:

90 The referee blows for full time.
90 Charlton are in total control. Key player: Andy Gray
90 Goal scored by Emile Mpenza (Plymouth)
90 Shot by Emile Mpenza (Plymouth) : on target
90 Plymouth substitution: Paul Gallagher injured, replaced by Emile Mpenza

Granted Andy Gray had only just scored from the penalty spot a minute before, but you can't be in total control if you've just let a last minute sub waltz into the box and score ... can you?

It was 1-0 Argyle when I last checked, wow looks like a good point in the end for the greens

Was an interesting match to say the least. Funny how they were singing 2-1 and you f*cked it up, yet 5 mins prior to that they were winning 1-0.. 2-2 is a fair enough result, could have easily been a Charlton win but our defending is a shambles.. Hudson is holding us together, top player. I'll take a draw, onto Brum away. .. Anyone for KP hattrick?

Little bit of team news:

Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally decided to do something about my non-appearing block Palace defence today. Decided Lawrence had to go in favour of McCarthy. Selected the change, went of to check all my other players were playing, sat back and started watching the vidiprinter. Cue immediate delight about 5 past 3.

Half an hour later clicked back on the TFF screen and inconsoleable frustration takes over. I hadn't clicked submit! Kinda releived it isn't going to be a clean sheet as well now.

unlucky

(but then I brought C Hill in today - so I'm no happier )

[Bramernic]

Well it didn't turn out too badly. First win at Pride Park (sorry Derby fans), and Butterfield comes on for 3 points in injury time (thanks Neil).

[Synyster]

Wish I had my wad of transfers left. I'd play the 'transfer in anyone playing Charlton' game.
I'm off to study the League 1 thread.

[tommymooney]

where was McFadden today?

[Bramernic]

I hate mis-information!

Last weekend I watched as McCarthy was stretchered off the Selhurst Park pitch, so it was no surprise when he was listed as definitely ruled out on the club site this morning. So, I subbed him out this morning before going out celebrating this afternoon. Imagine my surprise when I get back at 6pm and find that he's out there. Surprise turned to just after half time - and that's for my own team scoring.

So Bouzza moves away from a relegation scrap to join Brum, how do we think this will affect his appearances? Mcleish has the resources to rest and rotate a little, which Charlton didn't

EDIT: especially with Bowyer joining as well..

[Bramernic]

I hate this game.

Four out of my back 5 playing ... last meaningful kick of the match ... 20 points down the drain.

Not worth a keep IMO, if you watch his shooting back over for us it was abysmal.. his last match for us he simply wouldn't pass, had about 40 shots and still don't shoot.. I mean being greedy's OK if you're good at it.. he's not.

If he doesn't start his next match then get rid IMO.
Sorry to hear that Bram, your Palace block is doing 10x better than if I went for a Charlton one. .. Would i eff.

its not the first time that has happened either this season...

[tommymooney]

Another goal for Spring, TheCharltonFan will be happy , god knows what he was doing messing about in the lower leagues, was always a good player for Watford in my memory.

Helguson got two so far tonight, might be worth a look in the 2nd half of the season, can score at this level.

[tommymooney]

Anyone know why Tommy Smith was only given 7pts after last nights game- didn't he make the first goal for Priskin? Seems so from BBC text and radio commentary.

1pt, deducted this season.. and doesn't affect them at all. it's a serious breach of rules FFS.
what's the betting Sheff Utd take it to court?

What for? The two extra points they didn't get that would have meant they still finished in third?

The burger man that sold a few less burgers after the match with a loss, and would have sold a few more if it was a win.

The match was actually a 0-0 draw ... and the burger man lives in Croydon as it was a Palace home game.

Well maybe a few Utd fans left early to get burgers, ate the ones from the Palace burger van and got food poisioning. i don't know, but they'll find a way.
a 0-0 draw with an unilegible player, atleast make use of that player.
