[Football] The all day EFL games thread

[Guinness Boy]

First up Derby v Luton. And what a horrible game of football it is. Derby appear to have sacked their ground staff and replaced them with first year Agricultural College students - who are all on magic mushrooms.

How on earth are there so many bare patches when the ball’s never on the floor?

And Matt Clarke looks about 105 years old!

The pitch was criticised when they held the Women’s League Cup Final there a couple of weeks ago.

Have a feeling there’s about to be a good half time booooooooo from the home fans.

Have they replaced the Pride Park pitch with the old Baseball Ground mud heap ? They had great success on that so maybe that is their thinking

 

[East Staffs Gull]

I believe they dug up the Baseball Ground pitch and relaid it upside down at Pride Park.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Those of us who were old enough to remember will recall quite what a pudding of a pitch the Baseball Ground was - it was truly dreadful

When i went there with my dad many years ago it resembled a school sand pit, tbf the same could be said about the Goldstone Ground

Derby vs Luton really represents the glamour of English football

I saw a thing yesterday that every club in the championship still had something to play for. Even the clubs in mid-table could either go up or down.

Crazy!

Yes those were the days

I played football with a guy who made one championship appearance and then tumbled down the leagues and got fat. He could still ping it 50 yards and had the touch of a magician. I remember saying "wow if that's how good you have to be to be a fat failed footballer, I will NEVER say any professional is 'rubbish' etc, especially at league level"



But this game is RUBBISH

Keystone Cops stuff right at the end there.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Is it arrogant to never look down the table to lower leagues? Never have done, doubt I ever will now. Just not interesting to me

(Do confess to keeping a close eye on the results of OM Marseilles and SSC Napoli tho)

Brighton and Brentford are nicer places than either Derby or Luton

Derby's alright. Famous old East MIdlands town. Always enjoyed my visits there. What's not nice about it ?
