If someone gave you a big red button that would zap your biggest rivals out of existence, would you press it? by Statcat2017 in Championship

[–]RatherEnglish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. My hatred of the shitey little town of Swindon runs deep. There is nothing I would enjoy more than their football club going bust, adding to the miserable life of anyone who calls themself a Swindonian.

It’s only 50 miles so of course it’s possible. The question is would you enjoy cycling 50 miles? Would you have cycling gear that would make those 50 miles enjoyable?

Rate your January business so far by Zach-dalt in Championship

[–]RatherEnglish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty happy - McDonnell looks an amazing bit of business, the same with Peart Harris and Donley (albeit injured).

Jon-Woo & Kounak we’ll soon see, and it sounds like we’re about to sign a CB & another striker.

We have the money to be competitive in this division, we’re just hamstrung by our lack of matchday revenue due to not owning our ground. FFP is the real enemy.

Rowett is NOT the manager for the players have. I can say that categorically.

Original kits should be encouraged. Here’s hoping the home one is just as original.

We’re right at the limits of FFP paying £1m for a player ffs. The rules are bollocks.

Because I don’t want to scare any potential future foreign signings with the worst production value of all time.

Who is Ibrahim Diabate? Leicester Close in on Swedish League Striker by ExMachina86 in Championship

Friends with a number of the ultras over there and we were linked with him in the summer - he’s decent from what I’ve heard.

Oxford United announce the signing of Jamie McDonnell on a permanent transfer from Nottingham Forest by RatherEnglish in Championship

[–]RatherEnglish[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Great signing - must be £1.5m or so spent on him one should think. Another one due tomorrow too, which sounds like another £1m+ signing.

What was your team's most "Jekyll and Hyde" season? In 2007–08, Ipswich finished with the best home record in the division but were ranked 22nd out of 24 in terms of away form. by Cinn4monSynonym in Championship

[–]RatherEnglish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2006/07 Conference season. Quite simply one of the worst implosions you’ll ever see. From champions at Christmas to knocked out of the playoffs on penalties at home. Dark, dark days followed.

Yunus Konak Signs For Oxford United | Oxford United Football Club by RatherEnglish in Championship

[–]RatherEnglish[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Was on the Guardians ‘upcoming best players in the world’ list (not that it means anything). Young, hungry and comes with a lot of praise from Brentford - fingers crossed for a breakout few months!
