you now remember John Paintsil
>>75952098
Lol oh wow
>Hangeland was then told to perch on the end of a massage table and spend the afternoon in that position with a slab of cheese carefully positioned on the sore spot. The cheese, according to Magath, would have soothing effects.
>inb4 al habsi scores a hat trick and explodes killing everyone in a half mile radius as his celebration
>>75951582
Reminder Fulham wouldn't have been relegated if Meulensteen wasn't sacked
>>75951582
Who should I root for here lads?
>>75952232
fucking this, in the two games up until meulensteens sacking we had drawn away to united and only lost by 1 goal which was a refball penalty in the last minute against liverpool with god-mode suarez in the team.
Reading should be liquidated purely for this monstrosity.

>>75952290
let MJ guide you
>>75952295
That refball vs Liverpool still gives me nightmares
lads the game hasn't even started and i'm already sweating fucking spinal fluid and shitting myself, not sure if i'll make it the full 90 without my heart giving out.
>>75952298
So progressive and upbeat! I hope everyone involved stays (HIV) positive
>>75951582
>Kebano
>Kaban-O
>>75952316
What does this mean britbro? What did MJ mean by this?
>>75952350
it's just football
>>75952381

lads, whats the point of Reading?
>>75952410
>>75952434
This reading tinpot meme is just so pathetic. Grow the fuck up mate.
Who /URZZZZZ/ here?
>>75952467
>meme
fuck off
do away goals count
>>75952411
Thank you based britbro. I was leaning towards them after their appearance on the Europa League final.
>>75952350
I feel for you mate. The worst experience of my football supporting life was watching my team lose a play-off final live (West Brom vs Derby in 2007). Makes the whole season feel like a waste of time
>>75952515
No, apparently
>>75952434
Doesn't it have one of the largest uncontested catchment areas in British football?
>>75952524
When we lost to Swansea in 2011 that was horrible. Although, it was great to see us beat West ham and Southampton an route to the title a year later.
>>75952316
The greasy paki that bought the club got rid of it though
>>75952581
and we were relegated the next season
Any streams?
>tfw my usual streams are all blocked at work
Fulham pls
why is fulham not playing Ragnar Sigurdsson?
>>75952599
soccerstreams.online, same as always
>>75952434
To not be as shit as Bracknell or Slough?
>>75952524
I watched West Ham get relegated by fucking Crystal Palace live.
I was slightly irritated
>>75952617
Because REEEEEEEAAMM
>>75952617
injured
>>75952617
>why is fulham not playing Ryan Sessegnon?
ftfy
BETTINELLI
lel the arsenal stadium is literally less than 1/3 full
looks hilarious
>>75952694
I really wish West Ham would have been relegated, it would have been fucking incredible seeing about 20k people turn up each week in that stadium.
>reminder Fulham sold McCormack to Aston Villa for a profit and went from relegation battle tier to the playoffs in the span of one season
> Yann Kermorgant
> Liam Moore
I'm conflicted. Should I hate Reading or not?
>>75952814
Without his goals last season they would probably have been relegated
>>75952844
Kermorgant, why oh why?!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iad3gV-9C1U
Numbers mean he chips his penatly tonight.
>>75952858
same for the season before. Its simply the difference between relying on one guy for offence as opposed to getting everyone involved.
>>75952888
Oh shit.
Not gonna lie, former Reading fan here. This is fucking hilarious watching Reading crash and burn. But in all seriousness we can't let these guys get promoted to the PL.
>>75952814
Shame he couldn't do anything for us at Forest, if he hadn't had his problems and got scoring we might have avoided a relegation battle earlier on
>>75952910
>former
free kick goal incoming
>>75952858
Without Jokanovic coming in to save them they would probably be relegated you mean?
Fuck, I thought Al-Habsi was just a meme?
>>75952981
don't worry he is
Going for a shite, fully expecting a goal before I get back
>>75952981
>>75953005
>you now remember when he was being linked to top clubs while he was at wigan
elite shitposter checking in
fuckin hell fulham bottling their chances, are they gonna lose 0-0?

> That flag
Back to Liverpool or Celtic then?
>>75953075
without Mattila in the squad they have no finnish
>>75953104
i'm more surprised people remember mattila played for us let alone make a joke about it.
>>75953040
>Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers wants to snatch Wigan’s giant shot-stopper Ali Al Habsi in a shock £7 million move – as he looks for TWO new keepers, writes The Sunday People.
>Rodgers has told his spies to find him a senior No.1 and a young understudy as he plans to shake up that department in the next stage of his Anfield revolution.
>Oman international skipper Al Habsi has been a stand-out for Latics since joining them from Bolton – and the Kop talent spotters reckon he is the perfect replacement for Pepe Reina.
>>75953129
I just remember him because he was supposed to be one those "moneyball" players that the college roommate of Khan's son signed and then the next year turned down taking perriera on loan from United because of his "stats"
>>75953150
Of course it was Brenny
anyone but london
>>75953104
reading have a finnish on the bench, it's an omen!
Cum on you whites!
last time i went to the duplo stadium
who is actively trying to lose the most? or are they both just trying for the single point?
>>75953283
das racisd
>>75953325
Both sides are too scared to concede, so they won't commit forward
is the away goals rule active in this?
>>75953374
nope
>>75953352
oh, its a re-run of that episode
If Fulham lost because they kept trying to attack and conceded a counter I would be happier than if they play scared, try to put up a wall, and concede some fluky bullshit goal
Fulham need to play their normal game. They are the better team. They will score if they attack
>>75953374
yes, but they play at neutral grounds so it doesnt count anyway
>>75953474
so funny.
coyw, its literally the only team i can root for with a good conscious. super nice fans, pleasant football, played a massive role in the development of american players. but i wont pretend to like them when i cant watch any of their games.
>>75953545
conscience*
Does anyone else have this feeling of helplessness when you can't watch your club in an important match? I mean, you know that you watching the match or not has no actual impact on the performance or outcome, but it still makes you feel a part of it.
>>75953545
very annoying they put gentleman jim behind a paywall, espeically when they're in the championship
>>75952298
>>75953583
this, all of last season I would listen to Gentleman Jim and then watch the full match and highlights on the site a few days later. Now there is pretty much no way for me to follow the club unless they get selected for a televised match
>>75952298
Reading, nul points
Wew
Seems a bit harsh that like
FULHAM HAVE FUCKED IT
>>75953615
at least i got one season of jewing khan out of some money because fulham are pretty much the only team to put their highlights and match coverage behind a pay wall you could just watch the highlights on the whoever we were playing's site.
>Reading will go up
fuck off reading.
pointless little plastic club
PEN
Aha what
wew see you all again this time next season
>>75952888
(you)
>>75953615
I heard talk about all EFL games being streamed for overseas markets from next season, gonna be fucking great.
Sky on suicide watch
>>75953775
>that season when Reading bored their way to the title
>they immediately got relegated because they only played well for a grand total of 1 month
Hammers PL2 team just got promoted
Well this is an unfortunate turn of events.
>>75953811
Yeah, £110 for full access. Not sure if that's just for your own team or all of the EFL like they have now. Still a good deal either way
>inb4 Cairney puts the entire squad on his shoulders (left foot)
>Reading defending like madmen in Fulham's half
Can't get another red card surely?
>tfw no Matt Smith to hoof the ball up to and then do nothing with
>the state of this game
how the fuck do you miss that?
>SWIFT
>>75953889
Still a chance of a simple choke
see that missed easy chance a couple minutes ago
>>75953836
Unfortunately I think it will be a subscription to follow one team but I'm hoping we'll see a lot of free streams as a result of it.
lesser of two evils
Are fulham at least having a go at it now?
HOW DID THAT NOT GO IN
What the fuck?
>>75954024
Yes. The tide has turned. they'll be leading 2-1 by 85th minute.
fulham have mid to lower championship team written all over them
Fucking Christ, Aluko was born offside
Sessegnon pls
Both these sides and Huddlesfield are utter shit. How did they finish top 6?
Has the Championship become worse since 2014? I havn't followed it much since >we got promoted.
>>75954176
>leeds
> Kermorcunt
we want extra time
>le no end product pacy nigs
I've got the sudden urge to have a holiday in Florida.
>>75953976
really doubt that. uk fans are utterly clueless on streaming and such. havent seen ONE INSTANCE, even on various club foums, that was more than a >muh periscope of a live match.
>UNBELIVEABLE JEFF
fook that was good
holy fucking shit, Fulham couldn't buy a goal
>>75953811
efl tipping point
streams left right and centre
>>75954376
Well there's never been live broadcasting from the EFL before, the best you could get was a replay of the match the day after or audio commentary.
There were always streams for the odd match that was broadcast on the telly, I'm hoping reddit comes through when it comes to getting these "iFollow" steams onto the net, if not hopefully I can just use a VPN and pay £100 for it.
When players go down and fake injuries like Al-Habsi just did, do they tell their physios that they're fine really? Or do they lie to them as well, just in case?
>>75954376
Most just talk about Kodi or shit like that
>>75954376
Probably because they're going to the games instead.
Everyone else and their dog uses Kodi.
>>75954474
They always lie.
next season efl forums will be rife will illegal streams
cant wait
it will 100% hurt the product overall tho as who will travel up to sheffield on a tues night in october when they can watch at home for free
>>75954480
>>75954507
that's because they just get the streams from the americans who do all the "work" (so to speak).
but as far as uk people doing it themselves it hasn't been a thing. except that one guy bloodzeed and he got got. i dont hold out hope, is what im saying.
>>75954530
I reckon away support will be good still, because people need loyalty points in case their team sneaks into a cup final.
Might be difficult to justify a season ticket when all the games are on for 100 quid though.
>>75954530
Mummy May will make it a life sentence for illegally streaming football games.
>>75954560
loyalty points
efl
>pick one
>>75954560
>loyalty points
are those like good boy points?
>10 minutes left
>don't try and kill it off and just pass it back when you have a 3 on 2
Would serve Reading right if they conceded now
>>75954596
>you
>greentexting correctly
pick one
>>75954560
I pay £500 for my season ticket. Though my side is in the PL, I still think its worth it. Watching games on TV is so boring compared to sitting at home. Even crappy cup games on TV on a Tuesday night I go to.
>>75954596
>Team so tinpot they don't have a points system for big games
kek
>>75954655
aussie chipping in with efl inside knowledge
slav out
>>75954530
Personally I don't believe it will hurt attendances that much, I'm of the opinion that people will always choose to go to the game if they have the chance, it's good for fans like me who don't go to every game regardless and they would make money out of it if it was available to UK residents legally.
>>75954684
Leeds, Wednesday both do them, I'm sure many others do too.
>>75954746
leeds are the man united of their day
>tfw "big club" swoops in and signs Sessgnon only to have him sit on the bench his whole career
>tfw Cairney gets signed to some boring team like Everton and becomes another one of those "championship signings that are expected to make the big leap too soon"
get it in the fucking mixer you retards
>>75954764
Could do with Cairney at Newcastle desu.
>>75954764
Except Cairney's already played in the Premier League
Keeper forward, oh boy.
dubs and the keeper scored equalizer
league one header
Kek
Oh well Fulham
Maybe next year
kek
fulham dont deserve to be pl
> Reading could be in the PL
How depressing. We just got rid of Hull and we get fucking Reading?
Rest in piss Fulham

>Pooham
>muslims
Burn the cottage
hopefully wednesday get promoted, wanted it to be fulham but oh well
reading are boring and shit, huddersfield are just a shitter meme version of liverpool
One of the shittiest semi-finals decided by a shit penalty. Hope Reading crash and burn in the final.

>tfw sweet /sp/ tears
>>75955167
I'd find it funnier if they got promoted the same season Sheffield United got promoted back to the Championship, thus avoiding a Steel City derby for the first time in ages.
>>75955184
the bloody cowards
never a pen
so how did fulham went from shit tier almost relegate to league one to playoffs games for promotion?
>>75955231
Fate required a team to ruin Leeds' season and Fulham answered the call.
>>75955231
The Championship is pretty level from top to bottom most of the time, it's very common for a team to go on a nice long run of wins and then an equally long run of getting the shit kicked out of them. Fulham put together their run of good results when it mattered and snuck into the last playoff spot.
>>75955184
I'm honestly tipping United to do well next season. Wilder is obviously a class manager. 199 points across two seasons with two clubs in two different leagues is no fluke.
>steel city derby in the PL in 2018-2019
Calling it now

Just got back from the match, thought penalty was half and half but I will take it, fancy us against either team but will get relegated straight away
