Other UK Football - 'Don't want to be in the EPL anyway..'

:four_leaf_clover: 3-0 :tangerine:

Proper support here. From when imps played Derby

Not a massive surprise, but Wayne Rooney leaves Plymouth Argyle by mutual consent. Probably told him he was sacked and it’s simply a face saving exercise. Bottom of the Championship, the worst defensive record in the entire Football League (51 goals conceded), a 20% winning record in all competitions. I think he needs to take the hint and realise management isn’t for him…

He’ll get another gig. Him and especially Frank Lampard fall arse backwards into jobs time and time again no matter how rubbish they are at management.

A great game unfolding in the Championship this evening. Leeds v Sunderland … 2nd v 4th in a really tight battle for the two automatic promotion possies.
Leeds are a quality side and will surely go up alongside two of the Blades, Burnley or Sunderland.

Two great northern clubs and supporters… right at it and each other. Leeds dominant but Sunderland score to go 0-1 with their only shot on goal … and an excellent CF goal by Isidor it was.

And there you have it. Two quality crosses and two quality goals. The last in the final minute … breaks Wearsider hearts.

Leeds 2 Sunderland 1

Massive result. Would have happily settled for a draw after going behind but a win is huge.

My dog no longer wants to live with me. The poor bugger nearly jumped out the window at the 95th minute.

LUFC fans… we’ve bottled it, again.

We sure have. Groundhogs day. I dunno how I didn’t wake the household. Staying up till 4 watch that french hologram in goal, throw away points AGAIN!

This is on the manager, the keeper has cost us anywhere between 10-18 points this season alone. You have the Wales international sitting on the bench, surely he can catch a ball. This is absolutely on the manager now.

One thing I do know. I don’t want Farke as the manager IF we do go up. I’ve never seen a manager so stubborn, so bereft of proactive tactical changes. Play his favourites till they can no long run. He coasts on club-list quality and did the same when he was at Norwich.

Absolutely spot on

Lack of transfer activity in January, again.

Lack of rotation in the first 11, so they’ve hit a brick wall, again.

Making mistakes that you never see Burnley(keeper is a brick wall) and Sheff Utd make, they just motor along, and will ā– ā– ā– ā–  in the auto promotion spots.

Totally, their keepers are solid and reliable. Meslier has had a solid defence in front of him hiding his flaws. We’re a high-scoring side generally and also rely on out scoring Meslier’s mistakes.

But when you have a manager stating he’s the best keeper in the league and stats actually show he’s near the worst, what hope is there with this manager. His stubbornness to play this joke of a keeper will be our downfall again. Last year, Meslier shared our downfall with Bamford’s terrible performances in front of goal. This season, it’s Mes alone.

The change of keeper and Sheff Utd doing a Leeds and automatic promotion is sealed with 2 games to go.

Wrexham have won promotion for an unprecedented third consecutive season and will compete in the Championship next year.

And they’re coming to Lincoln next week.
The away support will be crazy.

I’m hoping to get a glimpse of mr. Reynolds if he comes over.

But all credit to them they have turned a club that hadn’t been in league 2 for about 20+ years and are turning them into a football league giant in the championship with 3 peat promotions. This is a hard thing to do and didn’t think promotion from league 1 would be possible, as I know myself how hard the division is with sides like Birmingham and Bolton. For them to go out and smash it first time is impressive

Massive achievement. Will give me something to barrack for as the Foxes are destined to be ā– ā– ā– ā– .
