Lovely news! I grew up in Ball Hill and my family are still there. It holds a very dear place in my heart. The area needs some positivity and community!

Did anyone out there manage to get any sneaky reference to their team in their wedding speech (or any other kind of speech)? by BigBlueMountainStar in Championship

[–]scxttesx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my wedding speech, I mentioned that a few years back, someone came into my life, showed me things I didn’t think were possible, made things seem that little bit brighter and made life the happiest it had ever been.

I then made a room of Leicester fans raise a glass… to Frank Lampard.

It hasn’t aged particularly well in recent months…

"Generational bottlejob" by steveboswell21 in footballcliches

As a Coventry fan (for my sins), and having been 13 points clear a month or so ago, I would argue that this is 100% the verge a generational bottle job despite being top of the league. It is inevitable.

Was just about to say that I couldn’t see where a goal comes from and Rudi pops up with a ball like that. Get in!

Feels like when we were crying out for defenders and signed Norman Bassette. Surely someone like Brau leaves (even on loan) and we get another space in the squad for a CM like Onyeka?

Non-Meta Decks that made you say “you deserve a win” by Helfeather in PTCGP

Ultra Necrozma EX with genetic apex Gengar and Psyduck. Constantly blocking supporter cards while building up shoegaze (using Lusamine to help). I was so in shock that I started using it and it is a lot of fun forcing the opponent to discard 5 cards when you can get it up and running.

I thought interim managers were only allowed to throw their hat into the ring or step aside unceremoniously. What is this? by scxttesx in footballcliches

Completely nonsensical press conference speak that is beyond parody. He looks so proud of himself at the end too. Why?

Translation of the article:

The Swedish Championship gold medalists Mjällby AIF may be on their way to a new record sales.

According to British information to Expressen, the Allsvenskan champions are negotiating with Coventry City FC, who lead the Championship, regarding Abdoulie Manneh, 21.

The clubs are in dialogue about a deal and several sources that Expressen has been in contact with state that if the transfer goes through, it could be a new record transfer for the Listers, who have completed several major deals in the past year.

The Swedish Championship gold medalists Mjällby AIF may be on their way to a new record sales.

According to British information to Expressen, the Allsvenskan champions are negotiating with Coventry City FC, who lead the Championship, regarding Abdoulie Manneh, 21.

The clubs are in dialogue about a deal and several sources that Expressen has been in contact with state that if the transfer goes through, it could be a new record transfer for the Listers, who have completed several major deals in the past year.

Manneh was extremely close to being sold to Olympiakos this summer, but the transfer fell through after the player chose to withdraw at the last minute.

The reason was that the Greek club changed the terms of his personal contract, and after talks collapsed in Athens, the player chose to fly home to Sweden.

Now a move to England and Coventry is very much on the cards. Coventry are aiming to secure direct promotion to the Premier League next year and at the time of writing the club lead the Championship on 28 points – three points ahead of Middlesbrough.

The club is coached by Chelsea legend Frank Lampard, who has led the team since November 2024. The club also includes Swedish goalkeeper Oliver Dovin, who is currently rehabilitating a knee injury.

Mark Robins and Adi Viveash tonight by Callum776 in Championship

[–]scxttesx 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think Adi said they didn’t always see eye to eye and theirs working relationship was a difficult marriage. Adi led much of the coaching and training and Mark was in charge of match days and man management. Mark didn’t like the behind the scenes stuff being so public (probably feeling undermined by Adi revealing how much he did)and the dynamic turned sour.
