Football Season 2014/15

[relkeel]

Good luck to everyone and their respective teams (except if they happen to be playing mine).

First observation. How hideous is the Bristol City away strip!

First managerial casualty of the (one day old) season. Mark Robbins leaves Huddersfield Town by mutual consent.

I'm presuming as a Leeds fan you're exempting Man Ure from this expression of brotherly love?

.... and you're right about that Bristol City away strip!!!!

As someone whose team conceded a 94th minute equaliser on Saturday, I'd just like to say "My nerves are fine, honest!!!....Isn't football great?"

[relkeel]

Even Man Utd Jim, smashing fans.

As a United fan of 30+ years, I can happily say that it would please me no end to have Leeds back in the Prem where they belong. It would be great if they could complete the recovery from the damage done by the amateurish wrecking ball that was Ridsdale and the self-aggrandising predatory instincts of Ken Bates.

With the Italian takeover, I'd get money on Leeds to welcome in someone like Di Matteo as manager before the end of the season. If they get the finances right, then their ground size, traditional support, one-club city, catchment area etc mean that Leeds are a goldmine and a future powerhouse.

I'd gladly take the return of Leeds and either Sheffield club back to the Prem in exchange for whichever cockney chancers Redknapp is steering towards bankruptcy at such time as Leeds are ready to come back. West Ham would be my next choice to disappear (with the porn barons and their Tory harpy Brady waved a fond "fuck off") -too many mediocre London clubs and not enough of the elder statesmen I reckon.

Anyway, I hope all supporters enjoy their season and that Chelsea win fuck all.

FWIW My tips for Prem champions are Arsenal, with City (2nd), United (3rd) and Chelsea (4th - Mourinho sacked at some point) completing the Top Four. Spurs for the Cup (the year has a one in it and it's the only way they'll get back into Europe. Relegation = Burnley, QPR and Swansea. Coming up = Cardiff (managed by Tony Pulis), Derby County and Forest (in the play-offs).

The East Midlands shall rise.....................

Not sure if you saw your team play football last season but it's going to be three years before champions league football is back at old Trafford. Van gaal might be a good manager but he's taking knives into a gun fight.

Not that I'm a Chelsea fan but I did go and see the friendly with Real Sociadad the other night. Bloody Da Costa 2 goals within as many minutes. 36 million well spent?

MK Dons 4 - 0 Man U

Let the "it's just a nothing cup" talk begin...

[relkeel]

Incredible! Another managerial blunder. Dave Hockaday was available you know

[Slim Jim]

Anyone see the England squad? Spudface Rooney as captain, Jack Colback and no right back!! With a record low crowd expected, the FA can't be pleased at Roy's choices, surely?

[relkeel]

" and now lads ,for a bonus of three points, can you tell me the capital of Norway?"

[relkeel]

Hockaday sacked from Leeds. Lasted longer than Cloughie!!!! Gotta feel for the bloke, but it was a crazy appointment to begin with!

[relkeel]

Taxi for Magath.
