RMweb Gold BoD Posted August 6, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 6, 2018 Blackpool manager Gary Bowyer has left after just one game. I think this must be a record for the club. Shame the owners are still hanging on like grim death. Yes, a quick exit this season but it is not just one game. Compared to some other club's managerial records he has been there a while. No reasons given yet but there is talk of him spending more time with his family. I hope all is well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted August 7, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 7, 2018 Thibault Courtois has gone missing from Chelsea, reportedly in Tenerife. Methinks that there may be some last minute transfer business with Jordan Pickford being poached. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted August 7, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 7, 2018 It is a pity when a player behaves this way...but you see it happen so frequently. You would think it would be a little off-putting for the pursuing club that their target would behave this way. But I suppose they don't care if it means they get their man. They do get the right @rse-ache when it happens to them though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobby Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 (edited) The only "club loyalty" these days tends to be by the fans, players and owners couldn't seem to care less (especially in the top two divisions)...

south_tyne Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 (edited) Looking forward to the return of MOTD et al tomorrow Whilst I support a non league club I still like following top level football and enjoy the chance to catch up with what is happening in the Premier League and Championship.... exciting start tonight, with a cracking first game, so roll on the new season! I think new boys Fulham and Wolves could ruffle a few established feathers...... Edited August 11, 2018 by south_tyne Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyram Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Not the world's best start to the Championship for Derby County. Still, start as you mean to go on... We did - we beat Reading 2-1. Yesterday we were outclassed by a team who, equally outclassed an ex Premier League side the week before. I believe Leeds will be right up there this season. Frank Lampard has bought in a lot of players, and there are some very good young players amongst them. It will take time to mould them into a team. Then again promotion is not won or lost in August (we tend to do that from February onwards!!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohmisterporter Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Meanwhile in the Highland League Fort William were beaten at home ten - nil yesterday and have so far conceded 38 goals in four games. This seems to be the norm for them but the mere fact that they turn up every week for a drubbing shows they are playing for the love of the game. No glory hunters at that team I feel. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems to be the norm for them but the mere fact that they turn up every week for a drubbing shows they are playing for the love of the game. No glory hunters at that team I feel. I always like to look at the Highland League scores, not least to see how many Fort William have lost by! It must be a great league for the statisticians - you'll see that last season, 4 teams scored over 100 goals, and another 4 let in over 100. Just look at the goal difference of the top and bottom finishers: I also like to follow the Lowland League results - though they're not half as entertaining - as that is the current home of what's left of "my" Scottish club, Gretna. After reaching the dizzying heights of European football earlier this century, they've reformed as Gretna 2008 and are now a distinctly average Lowland League side. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ba14eagle Posted August 12, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 12, 2018 A great start to the season for the mighty CPFC - made even better by B&HA's loss at Watford. Looking forward to playing a decent team in Liverpool, a week tomorrow - another one of Roy's former clubs - lets put them to the sword too! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted August 12, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 12, 2018 A slightly disappointing 2-2 draw. But better than we usually do against a newly-promoted side and with only 10 players for the second half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
