CCC Discussion Thread Season 2010/11

[Jim05]

Foxtel and setanta were the first things installed in my new house. Couldnt go a day without it.

I'm hoping to find a link too. Wish Foxtel would actually put more Championship games on seeing as they have the rights to it and all.
Heading up to QLD for a mates 21st this week and he's a Norwich fan. This game decides bragging rights
If I find a link that works i'll put it up Saturday night / Sunday morning.

Sod that....

You high and mighty Championship fans, you're spoilt rotten, what with all your goals each week shown, where as us cellar dwellars have to be the top team, or playing the top team to see our goals...

More Championship games, indeed...

League 2 is where it's at

If its on foxtel , you will find a live stream on the net.

Well, that's if you have Foxtel.

Would I be the only QPR fan in Adelaide?

As a Leeds fan, i'm hoping Simon Grayson can get us either a new centre back on loan or a defensive midfielder on loan. I'm soo sick of drawing against teams we can beat. IIRC we've had about three 3-3 draws this year as well as a couple of 2-2's. I think Leeds have scored the most goals in the Championship this season, but we've conceeded just as many. I'm hoping that we can keep our playoff spot, but without fixing the defence we will struggle to keep it.

Leeds pumped by swansea 3-0.
Was live on foxsports and they chose a bad time to put in a shocker

[johntheclaret]

Not a bad day all round for the clarets
Beat old rivals in the derby 2-1 after coming from behind
Gained ground on the play off spots with games in hand
bastards lost again

yes watched it. Was a clear penalty for Leeds in the first half clear handball by the swansea player but typical Phil Dowd only sees what he chooses to see.

Take nothing away from from Swansea they played well.

Sorry, did you say Premier League?

Totally outclassed by Swansea on the weekend. They were just too good.
McCartney got killed down the left side.
Howson was probably our only played that did ok..
Still can't believe Bruce got a yellow card for getting the ball.
Clear penalty not given around the 40th minute, then it was almost 'Somma Time' when he hit the crossbar just before half time.
But you can't play 5 good minutes out of 90 and expect to win games..
Swansea have only conceeded 6 at home all season too, which is pretty damn good.

Looking good for the Hoops Booney.
Warnock is the difference, as much as I hate to admit it.
Many QPR fans would say it's about time too with the financial muscle behind them. But will Ecclestone and co invest if they are promoted?

[Pidge]

Burnley are in some nice form at the moment aren't they JTC?
I'm starting to get worried about them at the moment.

Two games in hand on Leeds and 4 points behind. From here it is in our own hands. The two games are winnable, away to Coventry and home to 'Boro.

Our last two games of the season are away to Leeds and then home to Cardiff so it might be a nerve racking time Pidge.

Both possible 6 pointers. I will be gong to Leeds along with 5,000 other clarets to cheer us on. I have some good memories of Leeds v Burnley games at Elland Rd

All the results went well for us on the weekend JTC.
IMO we should get at least 7 points from our next 9 available.
I'm a bit wary of Burnley's 2 games in hand, but as someone said i'd prefer points on the board than games in hand.

[johntheclaret]

Quietly going about our business Pidge
Still think it will come down to the last 2 games for us

Went to the Gary Parkinson tribute dinner at Turf Moor last night. Very sad story of a young father of 3 cut down by a massive stroke.

Good to see some old faces there as well as some not so old faces. Jimmy Mullin, manager when we won two promotions was there, along with PNE manager Phil Brown and claret manager Eddie Howe, Charlie Adams and Dj Campbell from Blackpool were there and both are pretty decent lads, happy to chat. A host of Parky's team mates were there including David Eyres, Gerry Harrison, Peter Swan, Vincent Overson and Ted McMin who has had his own troubles after losing a leg through thrombosis or something.

Great night, way too much grog for a Sunday and just under $40k raised for Parky

Very sad story that one Johnnyboy, so it's great to hear the evening was good and some good coin was raised fpr GP's family .. It's good that you took one for the team and have been feeling the pinch today - There's nothing like a justified hangover

[johntheclaret]

Steve Kindon was the guest speaker. A Burnley legend and made his name as an after dinner speaker. Very funny guy who probably sounded funnier as the night went on

Sambuca bombers.......never again

Leicester City announce losses of £7.5m Last year

[johntheclaret]

How long can Micky Adams hang on at Sheffield Utd. Played 13, Won 0, Drawn 4, Lost 9. Blades now 2nd bottom 4 points from safety and not looking like they are going to get out of it.

Never got over that shock play off final defeat 2 years ago
