He could well have just had enough of it.

I love winding up people here about the egg chasing. "Did you see the rugby last night?" "Nah mate, I only like games that require skill to play." Watch them spit feathers for 15 minutes.

So is one of the turds my dog laid on the lawn the other day.

The Beatles - And Your Bird Can Sing

None of them are going anywhere. If they can't afford to pay for a Championship club, they'll just relegate us down to League One. The wheels for this are already in motion.

That bloke really is as thick as they come

This is amazing. Absolutely fucking beautiful.

The Rolling Stones - The Last Time

Those same clubs also have 30 players that would walk into the first 11 of any other team in the world. The F.A. once again showing that they are totally fucking gutless.

Don't forget the left handed screwdriver

Was talking to my dad the other week. He'd been delivering some doors to Kennilworth Road. He said that as bad as Ewood ever was, it was nowhere near as bad as that shit hole.

Tears For Fears - Shout

The Who - Pictures Of Lilly

Nah fuck that. It's way better waiting around for 10 minutes to see whether VAR will allow the goal.

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird

Was JDT in that side in that way?

I thought the best Brasil team never to win was in 98.

Carrying on from the discussion in the Cardiff thread, but it fits in here with what we've been talking about. Along with the boring shit passing has come all this bullshit hipster jargon used to describe positions on the pitch. For the most part these are bullshit terms coined by people who are trying to make themselves seem more intelligent than they actually are. This gets swallowed whole by bang average coaches and managers that want to seem like they are better than they are. Russell Martin is a prime example, yet I don't know if he subscribes to the jargon but it wouldn't surprise me. Then there's using numbers to describe positions. 30 years after we stopped using 1-11. Number 9 and Number 10 have always been used when describing strikers but I always remember number 6 being a defender and 4 being midfield. Bullshit talking points to match the bullshit boring football. Give me 442 blood and thunder any day of the week.

Hasn't had any effect on attendances though. Apparently....

Yes, he's juat using modern hipster bullshit terms.

Not to mention they shut the website down for two days to stop people from buying tickets.

I just watched Nathan Barley and its absolutely amazing. Missed this at the time, but its classic Chris Morris.

The Byrds - Turn Turn Turn

Maggot had closed the Blackburn End for a competitive match, probably the first time in the club history that's ever happened, to apparently save a few quid. His argument being that the attendance would be lower than what it was for the first round that was against a lower league opposition. He'll have received a fair bit of grief from people over this, a few on here sent him emails, and he'll have pissed of a lot of BBE regulars. Coincidentally the club website went down a day or two before the game and you couldn't get tickets. Thus saving embarrassment from turning people away because they had "sold out" or having so much demand they'd have to open the Blackburn End after all. Steve Waggot. Professional piece of shit.

"The number of aerial duels in the average match has fallen. Goalkeepers are playing more short passes, and kicking it long less and less. Direct speed, a measure of how quickly teams move up the pitch, is in decline. Pass completion is at its height, and so too is the number of passes in the average spell of possession. " - Yes, and it's so fucking boring and many times ineffective. Watch a premier league game from the late 90s or early 2000s and tell me it isn't far more entertaining than the shit they serve up today. Yes some games were absolutely awful but at least teams back then played to their own strengths and the players were allowed the freedom to express themselves. Football is a simple game. When you have the ball in your own box and you are under pressure, get it fucking cleared. Unless you are classic Brasil or 09 era Barcelona then you aren't good enough to meddle about in that situation. I am with @AllRoverAsia, give us the stats for goals conceded from fucking about in your own box.
