  3. If you had arranged the first 5 home games to **** me up, couldn't have done it better. No home games for me 'til October :rolleyes:

    In fact until 22nd October. :eek:

    I can make most of the aways in that period, but I find the ****ishness of some our younger (and older) fans makes it not worth the effort.
     
  4. Only a few minutes in to the fixtures news and I'm thoroughly p***ed off with the extensive gushing over Birmingham/Wrexham and the poor Championship saps being lined up for them to pummel, already. Like to think that both end up falling flat on their backsides, you can but hope!

    Carabao cup draw at 4.30 today as well.

    I can already see Watford v Luton now.

    You couldn't hand pick a better away day to start the season with. Dreamy.

    We're 5-0 up after 67 minutes.

    Luton fans visibly weeping.

    Sir Elton also paid for everyone's half-time beers.

    I can't see when we're playing Luton. Can anyone help?

  11. Presumably not until the 12th of Never? And that's a long, long time as Johnny Mathis knows.

    I notice Luton kick the season off on Friday 1st!

    Final 20 mins was a disaster. Selvik went off injured, so Bachmann came on to a chorus of boos and jeers. Ngakia misread his back pass and smashed in a goal worthy of Messi into his own net. Bachmann was heard shouting "Duck" and the ball bounced off Pollock's noggin and into the net for a second OG. Third and fourth goals were all TDB's fault, thinking he can slalom dribble through the entire team. Lost possession of both counts, allowing the scummers to easily slot past a flapping goalkeeper. For the equaliser, Doumbia had the ball in their half, Keyembe shouted for it and totally botched his control and it 'hospital passed off this foot into the running stride of an attacker with Andrews playing him onside. There was a late penalty for Watford at the death, all I know is TDB was stepping up.

    I was hoping we'd be away for the second weekend as I'm on holiday but such is life.

    So, we've got them all twice, right?

    Yes, but there are 24 sides - so I'm not sure when we play Watford home and away. Think the EFL made a whoopee there...
     
  17. Whilst the hype around them from their owners is annoying, worth pointing out the Brum manager is a Garston lad. I went to school with him and his brother. Really nice family.

    Don’t be offended if I don’t bother getting a ticket for this one on a Wednesday night.

    Sorry to disappoint.

  21. Oh fair dos. Was that St Micks? I'll give him a slight free pass but certainly not the Yanks involved.
     
  22. No, Coates Way. Think Chris went to Parmiters for secondary.

    From playing Arsenal and City in the league in April 2024 to kicking off against AFC Wimbledon in August 2025 - stuff dreams are made of

    FFS. That us out. We struggle to beat League One sides in this competition at times.

    Away to a promoted team is the last thing you want on the opening day. Much better to play them later on when their promotion motivating bubble has been burst.

    Should have a full house booing Nathan Jones though
     
  28. 1st game of season away - hopefully will get to my cat c with their away allocation
    1st 2 home games of the season I might be away for both
    Boxing day - away
    Easter Friday - away

    Crap fixture list for me.

    That run in is terrible if we need points for promotion (I mean relegation obviously).

    I don't think we will have any trouble getting no points for relegation. Unless you get -3 for a loss. ;)

    Oh, I am sure the EFL are working very closely with Sky to ensure that happens as we speak. "Three o'clock football on a Saturday afternoon. Nonsense. Get those revenues in!"

    We beat Norwich 3-2 away on Sky on the opening day when they'd just been promoted

    Yes but 20 something years ago. Away to a newly promoted side full of beans, confidence, optimism and togetherness is usually a tough gig.

    Are Charlton any of those things though? I get what you mean but they hardly flew to promotion.
