League 1 is quite nice...

I can imagine

Car Expert

0-1 it ended...

Car Expert

It is CE, it is nice in League 1. Honestly...

Hopefully your luck will turn soon, CE.

Coventry away next - a winnable game you would think...

Car Expert

Hope so.

Reading seem to be better away than at home : fingers crossed for you CE...

Thought it would be worth a mention:

FA Cup 1st Round Televised Matches

• Paulton Rovers v Norwich City - ITV1, Saturday 7 November @ 12:45
• Oldham Athletic v Leeds United - the FA website, Saturday 7 November @ 17:15
• Northwich Victoria v Charlton Athletic - ITV1, Sunday 8 November @ 13:30, followed by the 2nd round draw live at 15.35

Certainly the right two matches to be televised on ITV it has to be said. Paulton have confirmed that the Norwich game will be played at their ground, which is good

Car Expert

I can't get the BBC's live text to work for tonight's Carling Cup matches.

Who are Paulton. Where are they? We have a Poulton Vics on the Wirral but it wont be them.
Well as some of you know I keep an eye on Tranmere, my nearest Team (candidate for relegation now I fear, and no Manager at the moment with Barnes/McAteer sacked. But I also follow Leeds Utd (as Im a Yorkshireman ,and still work near Leeds), and my in-laws are Norwich (I passed nearby today as Ive just driven up to Yorkshire from Beccles.

They've had some technical problems today, but it all seems to be working now...Paulton Rovers are based near Bristol, five leagues below Norwich.

Car Expert

Yes. I've been watching it.

Pompey are well up against Stoke - shame it won't give them any league points for ChevvyChev.

Posh have lost their goal keeper but have still managed to equalise against Blackburn.

ManU down to 10 men as well - no doubt SAF will have something to say about that later.

Absolutely no news coming through from the Stadium of Light, so can't be a very inspiring match there.

Pompey 4-0 up now.

Leeds won 4-0 away

My old man, dad, will be pleased.

Tooting & Mitcham have finally managed to beat Eastbourne in the FA Cup

Car Expert

Why do Newcastle always get all the headlines. I'm sure they have anounced things tonight so that they stay in the spotlight rather than people giving attention to the teams involved in tonight's Carling Cup matches.

Yep, it's a smallish village south of Bristol, and isn't all that far from Bath.

Poor Scunthorpe are being absolutely hammered by Man City.

There's definitely problems behind the scenes at Derby - now the Chairman has resigned

*goes to look at news website*

The news website doesn't really say anything. It may be that he's just taken the club as far as he can rather than it being because of problems in the club.

What concerns me at Derby is the huge injury list, which seems far bigger than perhaps it should be...

*frantically waves*


Since when are forumites as nuts about Stitch as I am?!?!?!


Exactly, why can we only play well in Carling Cup matches?!?!?!


Last night was good fun I did lots of singing hehe (Well, I say singing, I mean shouting my head off.... ) Nice to finally see a decent win at Fratton Park, makes a change!!!

I'm hoping we can copy what you did last night for our home match on Saturday. We've not been very good at home. We also need to stop conceeding goals in injury time - have lost 7 points from injury time goals so far this season.

I'm hoping we can copy what we did for our match on Saturday too hehe! Though chances are we'll go back to being totally rubbish again! Ah well! And we've been given a transfer ban today until we pay off our debts to other English clubs I hope we do that sooner rather than later, i.e. BEFORE January!

You apparently had one in August which you managed to get rid of quite quickly. So

I should introduce you to my 10 year old sister!

Nearly kick-off time. Can Strachan get us a win?

West Brom are alreay 1-0 up against Watford.

Reading are also 0-1 up, though, which is good for Car Expert.

Car Expert

We still need strikers who can score.

Today was a very good result for us.

So do we. We're the equivalent of Portsmouth at the moment - we get plenty of chances but we can't take them...

Orient leading Southampton

Car Expert

*wonders what team Andate is talking about* I thought she was a Spurs fan but they got thumped.

Our strikers keep getting caught offside.

The Gunners

Car Expert

That makes sense. Why did I think she supported Spurs? Am I muddling her with another forum member?

Quite possibly

I can't think of anyone on this forum off the top of my head who supports Spurs...

Car Expert

Wash your mouth out Flossie!

Solari is the misguided Spurs supporter.

At least he doesn't support the barcodes.

This is a very long first half... We really needed to score a goal before half time to give our players that psychological boost.

Edit: I hope Strachan is good at giving effective half-time talks. That first half was rubbish.

I know it's his first game in charge, but we really should be able to play better...

I wonder when Newcastle are playing this weekend...

The answer is they're not - they're playing on Monday

Car Expert

I know. There seems to be a distinct pattern to it.

2-0 to Reading

Car Expert

Well done.

We need some goals...

Edit: Noooo.

I didn't mean that sort of goal...

Coventry have pulled one back

Don't want Plymouth to win

Car Expert

We need at least 2 goals now, and they need to be OUR goals not Plymouths.

West brom are 4-0 up as well now.

Don't talk to me about football - Ipswich have scored
Relegation here we come.............

So did Plymouth.

And West Brom have now got another...

Reading have restored their 2 goal cushion

Car Expert

you've got another goal, CE. Will you share some of them with us...

We've got 15 minutes to get 2 goals...
