Oh do f*** off 🤣

Nice to see you care more about others' claims and suspicions than what courts of law decide. And then use "alleged" to chicken out of passing it as your own opinion due to fear of libel and lack of proof.
I presume if someone takes you to court and you are cleared you'll remain an (alleged) rapist/wife-beater/pedo for life (and they can happily slander you hiding behind a screen)
PS No affiliation to said club or individual just find it really cheap.
 

Would this burn off a Snickers 4-pack?
Asking for a friend...

Their FFP hearing was yesterday apparently, so the outcome must be imminent. Will they sanction the cheating Gumpies, or does the prospect of coming home to a real fire not appeal?

Yep, just listened to the Rams Daily podcast on bbc sounds for the pre match presser, only provided updates on Gayle and TJJ.
Said Gayle is rejoining training today ahead of schedule because he wants to be involved on Saturday (Warne did make a comment about not taking a risk as if the worst does happen on Saturday he’d need him for the playoffs but I think that’s a bit of gamesmanship from Warne). He also said John-Jules was the best in training on Tuesday. So we could have a strong squad to choose from for Saturday. 

I must be easily pleased, as I'll be celebrating like a mad thing if we clinch promotion on Saturday and right now I couldn't care less about Premier League football.

For the love of God, how can it only be Thursday?!? 
Anyway, here's Warney chatting about preparations and mindset for our final game. For those of you sensitive souls who break out in hives just hearing his voice, he says the mood is upbeat and we'll be setting up to win the game, not looking for a draw. He warns against complacency and made it clear that Carlisle won't be taken lightly, but says he and the players will be ready and up for the challenge.
Conspicuously absent were any questions about player fitness, so no updates on that score at all, so Fozzy, Bird and Gayle will all clearly be starting.

Good shout on Forino, impressed me when we played them at their place

T. John-Jules has trained well and is in contention for Saturday too according to Warne (via the DET)

doubt it youth 🤣

I hope you find what you’re looking for 👀

The Dutch are indeed crazy. A friend of mine who has ginger hair went to a festival for redheads last year and had a brilliant time. He came second to a 6' 3" drag queen in a Stiletto race 😅

Belper chippy in this itinerary

Obviously being above Belper Chippy will be the highlight 

Uk and Europe trip just about booked, leave Brisbane 28 April, end up in Inverness then a 6 day hike leaving from Fort William. A few days floating around Scotland then a week in Dubrovnik and Split, flying back into Manchester. Staying in Belper for 12 days in King st above the fish bar then down to London for 4 days before flying back to Brisbane via Perth. 6 weeks all up.

Missed out alleged match fixing and witness intimidation ( the ones that haven’t mysteriously died or disappeared ) 

Burnley v Forest’s last match of the Premier League season could be a very, very interesting watch!

No point in going to bed then really! 

Turns out selling your club and racking up a £300 million debt to an (alleged) homicidal, global, drug trafficker, with a penchant for home fires, hasn't quite led to the sunlit uplands of European football and worldwide adulation they'd hoped for.
They are trending, mind! 😂

Asking for a friend...

Love the man. Properly down to earth and humble, but there's a steely determination that's palpable and you can tell what was in part, an act of mercy, has now now morphed into a grander vision. Far from feeling the pressure and weight of fan expectation, the man seems positively enthused. Seems to me he's loving it really and I did worry about that a little. That said, he is a fan himself, so he's every right to feel chuffed!
As for the vision, well it seems that these days more than ever, sustainability is absolutely key to a successful football operation, so to hear him echo that ethos is also really reassuring. It's not sexy, but for me, above and beyond all other considerations, are the checks and balances that ensure we never make the same mistakes again. And talking of mistakes, I really hope I'm not wrong again, as Clowes does seem to me at least to be the perfect custodian for this grand old club of ours. Please can I not be wrong again!
In all seriousness, I do have enormous faith in the man. Listening to him talk, I think it's safe to assume that there won't be the overnight change that some seem to expect, but rather incremental growth, built on solid foundations. I get that some folk want to see us challenging in the Championship straight away*, why wouldn't they, but slow and steady is all music to my ears, as I believe that a more measured and strategic plan is far more likely to yield longer term success, than the bang or bust approach adopted by so many clubs these days. And if Clowes, whose first year losses amounted to £7 million, is prepared to be patient enough to build this club back up the right way, as well as footing the bill, surely the fan base should be too? It's food for thought.
*Irrespective, we do still have a game to negotiate on Saturday and hopefully all the players and coaching staff are fully focussed on that right now, as this is potentially a huge step back towards whence we came and if any supporters are due a party, it's us lot 😋
