Carson on the bench for Man Citeh's title decider.
That’s crazy. Isn’t he like a two times champions league winner and multiple time premier league winner now? What a trophy cabinet he must have.

and I have no issue with Southampton, so I'm happy for their fans to have their day in the sun.
I get really bitter about the play offs. Even though we’ve got promoted, I don’t like anyone else being happy. I think I’m bitter cos we’ve lost so many play off finals.
and I can’t really feel truly happy about our promotion, I think it’s just the universe correcting itself to the natural order. I’d still only get really excited if we got promoted to the premier league. So I can’t be happy for others who are achieving that before us.

Not if the rumours of their impeding financial doom ( only slightly mitigated if they go up ) are true. Will have to sell either way just more so if they stay down.
Let’s face it, if Leeds go up, I don’t really care whether they finish higher or lower than Forest, as long as they both finish in the bottom 3. Anything less than that outcome is a disappointing season.

Crap form, but still finished about 12 and 17 points clear of their playoff opponents and just cruised into the final.
Southampton and West Brom was a little closer, but you always felt the Saints were going to win.
Leeds demolished Norwich. Could have been seven or eight.
Interesting that Southampton did the double over Leeds in the league, while Leeds did the double over Leicester and Ipswich while those clubs did the double over Southampton. Weird.
Leeds did the double over us. Does that mean Leeds are going to beat Southampton. I hope not.

I suppose you can see the thinking. Foreign coaches (Maresca, Rohl and Cifuentes are three good examples from this season alone) usually adapt pretty well to Championship football.
Most Championship clubs are looking to bridge a financial gap and sometimes unearthing a quality coach that can elevate the team and make the overall unit stronger is the answer. Bielsa at Leeds is the impact everyone is looking to emulate.
Hull might be taking a gamble but if they uncover a maverick coach who takes the Championship by storm, it will look totally worth it in 12 months.
There might some method to the madness. Let’s wait and see.
So you’re saying the te tic is to pick some random crap manager and hope they just haven’t found the right club yet, and hope that your club is the right club and they’ll suddenly be amazing.
that sounds like chucking a dart at a list of names. There doesn’t seem to be any particular method in that.
it sounds like a bit of a Watford tactic. Then sack them when it doesn’t work after 6 months, and try again.

It would be in Forest’s interest to keep it…
They probably would be down without it…
That’s interesting isn’t it. And aresenal would've won the league.
Not to mention they wouldn’t be in the league in the first place without VAR.

I don’t know if we’d be where they are, but they would be where we are. They were all or nothing at the end of their parachute payments and massively over spending. That’s why they had such a good squad. They would’ve been stripped for parts after that season and plummeted. They should build a statue of lampard.

That SM campaign must have had an influence, but I'd question the "Jewish expat vote" factor because it got high placements in countries with tiny Jewish populations, whether expat or permanent. The strangest example is Ireland, one of the most strongly pro-Palestinian countries in Europe, and with an official Jewish population of under 3,000, where it came 2nd, receiving 10 points.
Maybe people in those countries that gave it points just liked the song and disregarded the politics? It's certainly unexpected though.
My wife liked it. And she has less than zero skin in the game. She’s a South American catholic.

Ps I apologise for obsessing so much over an irrelevant mid table team. How embarrassing, it’s like being obsessed by the fate of Crystal Palace or something.

Totally agree. It was the words used in the campaign, not mine. Used deliberately I expect to get an emotional response and more votes.
Totally understand, not your words, I meant to clarify that. Just annoys me that the term is being used all the time for all these anti Isreal protests. One should be allowed to not like Isreal the state, the country, the policies, the regime, without being accused of not liking Jews. Like not liking Saudi Arabian or Iranian policies is not anti-Islamic. Not liking American policies is not anti-Christian. Etc.

There was a really big campaign being run across social media telling people they must vote for Israel to stand against the antisemitism their entrant was suffering. They had stories of their entrant being booked, being locked in her hotel room, facing protesters outside the hotel...
So I suspect what you saw was a Jewish expat vote, not a normal Eurovision vote.
I don’t like the term antisemitism being used so much in this context. Antisemitism is not like Jews because they’re Jews. It’s racist. But what was going on there, and what is going on all over the place is not like Israelis because they’re Israeli, there’s a difference.
i suspect most people booing her don’t have a problem with Jews, but they do have a problem with what Isreal are doing.
just like Russia has been banned because countries threatened to boycott if they were let in, until they stop their invasion of Ukraine. That’s not anti-orthodox Christian or anything, that’s just anti-Russian. There’s a difference.

And Man Utd are still s***. You’ve got to live it.
what are the chances of United losing all of their last 5 games of the season.
i think it’s a real possibility. They’ve got Newcastle at home and Brighton away before the fa cup final.
newcastle are not going to be a walk over. And when we’ve already realised the Man Utd can’t handle anyone more difficult than Burnley, then my moneys on Newcastle for that one, especially as it’s a bit of a 6pter for the coveted conference league place.
then Brighton can easily beat United at home, on their day. They’re all at around the same level this season. And if Brighton beat Chelsea, then Brighton vs United becomes a 6pter for the coveted 8th place.
funnh thing is, as much as United have been sitting pretty in 6th for most of the season. I think there’s a real possibility that West Ham and Brighton could both overtake them in the last couple of games of the season, leaving them in 10th.
(of course the one fixture I hadn’t checked for that scenario was West Ham. They’ve got Man City away for their game. So scratch that, Man Utd in 9th, with Brighton over taking them on the last day).
the fact that Chelsea can overtake them, after their abysmal season, is very damming. They are s***. 9th or 10th is probably a fair reflection on their real state.

Teams like Wolves and Fulham this season are already on the beach.
I do hope so. There’s hope yet that Luton might score 12 against them.
-
Hold on, reading this thread after working all day, I thought they were safe. They’re only 3 pts ahead of Luton. They could still go down. We’re just looking for a 12 goal swing. I’m putting my money on it right now.

Actually, in reality, I don’t think there was a real protest from our fans.
Most, including myself, concluded we actually got off pretty lightly.
There certainly wasn’t the waves of protests like another midlands team who got docked points for being creative with the rules.
It’s not quite the same though is it. I can be fairly confident that we wouldn’t have marched if it had just been a 4pt total deduction.
but ‘they docked us 4pts, but we don’t give a f***’, doesn’t have quite the same ring to it.

Relative ease??? They could still survive based purely on goal difference which would be by the skin of their teeth!
And just think, it could be the two points they got back for cooperating that saves them. Which I’m still annoyed that they didn’t get taken off them for a pointless appeal.

Definitely not. It's not even the most exciting league in England. I prefer the Championship.
A bit like AEW compared to WWE. The championship is ‘where footballers come to football’.
I do wonder if there will be some sort of league / union split one day.
it always reminds me of a time when I was a kid and I bought a premier league sticker album, and then went about 4 weeks pocket money, or about a fiver, on nothing but stickers for my album. And I got the football league stickers by mistake, not really knowing the difference. The football stickers, players etc. all seemed a lot more no nonsense, and a lot less razamataz with the football league stickers.
at the time I liked the razamataz, I was young and foolish, but now, I just want to see Foyt all played in a compatible league where you’re never sure what might happen next.

Man Utd are so crap now that if say ‘we were their when Wanchope scored against Man Utd’ to kids, the response will be ‘yeah, and, who hasn’t’.
itll always need to be caveated with ‘back when they were good.’
in fact, they should probably retrospectively rename the team Ferguson’s Man Utd, for that period, make a clear differentiation.

but for a whole bunch of clubs, the PL seems to be about trying to get 40 points or a point a game and hoping that there are 3 teams worse than you and getting put to the sword in most of the others.
Be fair, Man Utd used to be good once.

Clearly we’re going to smash the league with a record points tally, I just worry if our march to the FA Cup might distract us from a 100% win record in the league.
