Championship - 2022/23

Rob Edwards trying to coach Championship players to play it out from the back

 

It was a disgrace then and it looks even worse now for Gino. The fact Scott stayed silent when it was clear he was massively fecked over on Edwards getting sacked is the cherry on the top.

 

Their promotion and subsequent fully paid relegation will ensure they are more successful than us for the next 3-5 years.

 

Not sure y any1 cares, Bornmuff are are rivals now.

 

String favourites though based on position and form.

 

Will be interesting to see (if they go up) if the owner sticks with Rob, or they go down the well trodden path of getting blinded by the PL riches and sacking a decent manager in a desperate but futile attempt to stay there.

 

One benefit if Luton go up is we'll not need to board up the GT statue for any of our matches next season.

 

Luton clear favourites for me. Desperately hoping they don't but fully expecting them to go up.

 

Appropriate comment for this thread.

Get knotted!

 

Yes, saw that and couldn't be bothered to correct it. I mean who reelly cares about grammer and speling ?

 

Knot me, m8.

 

Yes they have become what we used to be. Stronger team than the sum of their parts.
If it wasn't them, it would be a great story, non-league to prem in so few years.

 

Not sure anyone's said Boro will automatically roll them over.

You're right about form but I'm pretty sure there was chatter that day Boro fielded a weaker team against Luton (no idea if that's true overall but Akpom stayed on the bench) and only lost to a jammy penalty which Morris blatantly dived for.

Either way though, I'd want Luton to play Boro over Coventry because they're second highest scorers in the league.

 

TS reporting Mowbray about to be sacked, fairly ridiculous if true (yes they were ****, but they came up from L1).

Struber and Farioli in the frame, so fewer options for us once VI is sacked.

 

"I made a note in my diary today.

It just said ' bugger '."

 

Agreed - we need to get in quick. Sack Ismael today.

 

Far more likely that Mowbray will be our third, final roll of the dice, coach next season I'd say.

 

You know you’re fully through the looking glass when the jokes have a strong probability of becoming reality.

 

We've come close before but not quite made the 'sack a coach before playing a game', and we do need to take steps to protect our reputation as trendsetters in this arena - last season we were the devil for sacking two coaches in the course of a Prem season, this year something like 3 teams have followed suit after our spectacular liberation of the post-coaching space.

 

We know it's going to happen and as much as I hate them it's 100% down to us releasing Edwards. I hope they get to the Premier League and stay there for a couple of seasons so that I can hate the Pozzo's just a little bit more.

 

He's sad. His heart is clearly still here.

 

It’s a sad, sad day when the Chief Superintendent of the grammar police is reduced to this.

 

Do you remember when Martin Samuel wrote thst Watford represented all that was wrong with football? We were very upset, but I think most would agree with him now.

N.B. Not quite everything. We don't have a Gulf state owner.

 

...we don't, but we are praying for one, and would welcome one with open arms. Gulf state or if not Russian or Chinese.

 

Yes but then this would be their 1st stint in the Premier League if they went up, whereas we have been there 8 seasons in total. How many years was it since they last finished above us, 34?

Football comes and goes, often it doesn't fall the way you want it to but it would be boring if it did!

 

Yes of course. Would be huge for them. My point was that it would be the start of a period of local domination by them - hopefully not 34 years....

 

The ground will be so empty they could probably board up the GT stand

 

L*ton obviously have a good chance, but Boro have known they'll be in the playoffs for a while now, so I'm not sure they'd have been playing at the same intensity. Mind you, the same is true of L*ton, although it only took a dodgy pen for them to beat Boro
