THREAD: Ridiculous things that have happened this football season.
Coventry City drawing 0-0 away at Bolton Wanderers u8’s on the first day then going on to piss the league.
Wycombe Wanderers making heads fall off by not passing the ball a lot, finishing 8th in a top 6 and ultimately getting promoted. All at the expense of Peterborough United and their chairman and DOF. Very, very funny.
Wigan Athletic. Rumours of a substantial bet taken by their Thailand betting company sponsor of relegation. Admin. 12 point deduction. An 8-0 win, taking them 12 points clear with two to play. Dave Whelan once broke his leg.
Norwich beating Manchester City 3-2 then going on to play like they’ve been threatened with the death penalty if they ever do anything of the sort again.
Jim Bentley. Consistently keeping Morecambe up on a shoe-string budget for a decade. Resigning and dropping a division to join their neighbours AFC Fylde on a much bigger budget and getting them relegated from the National League at the first attempt. Impressive.
Southampton losing 9-0 at home to Leicester on sky then going on to accrue more points than them since that match. Also keeping a clean sheet at home against a free scoring Man City team is relatively banterous.
Graham Westley rejoining Stevenage for a FOURTH time, to much excitement from the board, only to win one of his thirteen games in charge, resign and leave them facing the drop. Despite the best efforts of Macclesfield Town, who just simply refused to comply with the EFL rules.
Watford re-hiring Quiche Sanchez Flores to continue his “legacy” at the club after a successful first stint was abruptly ended by their board. He won one game, and was replaced by a man who calls fellow human beings ostriches. Who btw has done a sterling job. Weird club.
Coventry City ground sharing a home game against Birmingham City because the city of Coventry is allergic to allowing football to be played there. The match finished in a draw which resulted in a replay, and Birmingham finally being at home in their own stadium. CCFC got promoted
Pep Clotet announcing he will leave Birmingham City at the end of the 19/20 season. Then after said announcement deciding to be as banterous as he possibly can, including using ZERO of his FIVE allotted subs in a 3-0 home defeat against a woefully out of form Huddersfield. Funny.
Apologies to Stevenage fans. Another here, you decided to win three times all season, win away once all season, 4-0 away against a team who finished 23 points above you. And you’re challenging the decision. Hang your heads in shame.
Derby. 3 of your players getting twatted at a team do + crashing into eachother. Keeping the two reprobates without injuries and sacking your ever present club captain who had a serious knee injury. This probably made you more appealing to Wayne Rooney, who swapped DC for Derby.
