The Official Coca-Cola Leagues Thread 2009/10

[ThePhenom07]

My beloved Charlton beat Wycombe 3 - 2. I was there and we played well in the first half, but the last 20 minutes of the game were really nervy. Good though, a win to get started I suppose.

[GA!]

Let's discuss the League Cup in here too. The majority of round one matches are taking place tonight, with Leeds already through after defeating Darlington last night.

I fancy a couple of upsets here - Exeter beating QPR and Notts County beating Doncaster. I also hope John Barnes' lack of experience means Grimsby can have a decent go at Tranmere. Emphasis on 'hope'.

[GA!]

Playing the role of Norwich tonight - Burton Albion, with Grimsby not that far behind.

[Adam]

Apparently Kevin Poole (aged 46) is in goal for Burton tonight, so not a great surprise.

Derby, Sheff Utd and Plymouth all behind at the moment against lower league opposition, but your picks not going right-QPR are thrashing Exeter and we are beating Notts County by a goal to nil!

EDIT: And there's no point mentioning Grimsby!

Norwich have the potential to be the most entertaining team this season based off their two performances so far.

Bryan Gunn has been sacked by Norwich after one league game. Way to go.

[Crybaby Bunting]

Surely that's one hell of an overeaction, especially after they won their league cup game that followed. Don't they realise that they're unlikely to be smashed like that again?

[Adam]

That's a bit of a daft decision, but, had they not smashed Yeovil in midweek I'd have said he might've lost the dressing room. He probably hasn't, since they did beat Yeovil convincingly, but it seems an odd decision one day before their next game as well.

They need stability, and they have absolutely none of it right now. They sacked Roeder halfway through last season, got relegated, half the board left, and now they've sacked Gunn. Looking unlikely for promotion at this stage.

[IAceI]

Lose 7-1.

Win 4-0.

Sack manager.

What this needs is for them to then beat Sunderland 4-3 in the 2nd Round with a caretaker manager in charge.

Told you they'd be entertaining.

EDIT: Oh aye, I entered a team in the fantasy football league.

Sporting Beergut

GK: Westwood (Coventry)

Notts County have got Schmeichel (i know its the son, but still)

[Crybaby Bunting]

Suddenly the Sol Campbell to Notts Co rumours don't seem so completely rediculous, then again Schmeichel moving there is best for all parties, as opposed to Campbell only considering it for the money and an easy league ¬_¬

I don't think Notts County spending 600k plus on the fourth choice Man City keeper makes the Campbell rumours any more feesible. They're ridiculousm he's on £5 million a year at Portsmouth, I don't think Kasper Schmeichel is on anywhere near that amount.

[Crybaby Bunting]

Yeah you're right, for a second my mind messed up and I thought Notts Co were in League 1... although I guess that doesn't make the rumours any less ridiculous ¬_¬

[GA!]

I went to my first Grimsby Town game in five years today. Best leave it for five more years... (N)

[Crybaby Bunting]

Ameobi scoring? I've seen everything ¬_¬

EDIT: Hat-trick? Now he's just being silly

Darlo are fucking shite, I retract my earlier comments about not getting relegated. We're going down.

We're coming down with you!

[Liam]

The Football Show or whatever it is called is worth watching purely because they have Nick Halling doing commentary. The guy rules >_>

[IAceI]

Bwaahaha @ Crystal Palace.

Couldn't have happened to a better guy with Warnock!

[Adam]

That was absolutely ridiculous. Warnock had every right to be pissed off, the ref's cheief has apologised but what is that? The time is now for goal-line technology, we had a clear goal disallowed against Watford last week as well because the ref didn't think it had crossed the line, it makes no sense not to implement it.
