Football has become one massive box ticking exercise over the last 5/10 years whether you like to admit it or not.

What’s wrong with a box ticking exercise though? It’s about representation. It would be nice to say ‘let it happen organically’, but you have to force the issue sometimes and force representation to kick start it. In a generations time, hopefully it will be organic. The backlash these days is because it’s forced. But that’s necessary to make things happen and break the cycle.

I've got daughters, and there is so much more positive representation for them these days than when my sisters were kids. And I’m very happy about that.

i wonder if joey Barton has daughters or nieces, and if he expects them to shut up and cook his dinner, or if he hopes for something better for them.

its just very sad that as much as he may truly believe these things, what he’s really doing is putting on a character, like a heel in wrestling, because that panders to a certain audience, and that gets more likes and shares. And far from representing those that need the leg up, he gives a voice and representation to the bigots and small minded people who have ruled the world for thousands of years. Those that really need to fade away and make way for the kids.

Cheltenham win, Curtis Davis man of the match 

Our point against them doesn’t look so bad now.

1 more goal without conceding will put us 3rd !!!  😀

How annoying. We have the joint best goal difference in the league. And the second highest goals for in the league. It just so happens that the the other team with the best goal difference and with the best goals for in the league, is the one we’re level with.

Hopefully better than the excuse Morris gave about not knowing how player valuation works 

The problem was he did know how it worked. The FA didn’t.

"However, time is the most precious commodity a manager requires and I don't believe 13 weeks was sufficient to oversee changes needed."

Oh my God, he actually was trying to get them relegated

“13 weeks was not sufficient to oversee the changes”. I don’t get it, what changes needed to be made. They were 6th.

You just go in and say ‘what did you do last week? Brilliant, do the same again this week, I’ll be in my office if anyone needs me.” Easy.

the definition of ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’.

There must be Villa fans secretly running things at Brum. The only 2 times they have been good in years, they sacked Rowett and Eustace and headed for relegation. Which ex-Ram will take over there next? Darren Moore?

Was it Rowett they sacked in favour of Zola. I’m guessing these are different owners at this stage. I find it crazy and hilarious that they’ve managed to make the same mistake twice.

You might be on to something with it being a villa conspiracy.

I'll always appreciate the way Rooney conducted himself in that administration season (in public at least), and I don't really begrudge him leaving when he did because it was always going to be a tough sell to him to stay on.

However,

This is very funny. Mostly because it's Birmingham City who in my view are one of the most deluded, bitter, tinpot, nonsense clubs in the footballing pyramid. Permanently trapped in their nearest rivals shadow and utterly deluded as to their standing in the game. A crumbling stadium half full with idiot fans.

So, thank you agent Rooney for the top tier destroy and exit job. Excellent work.

Keys to the city is back on. Great job well done Wayne.

Or the kids that moved to Man U.

I thought you said they shouldn’t move to a lower prem team. 

So is that a case of Forest becoming world beaters with a pinch of Nuno, or United being s*** like they have been all season.

the few points they’ve got, they’ve been lucky to get.

One things for sure Luton will give it a hell of a go

At the end of the day, the bottom three will have all picked out Forest as their main chance of staying up, so they’ll all be gunning for Forest. Everton will easily pick up enough points. Crystal Palace aren’t realistically in any trouble.

We’ll see how long Nuno’s new manager bounce lasts, but it’s 3 of 4 to go down, and all 4 are going to do what they can to win that mini league.

If you extrapolate our points per game over the last 8 matches to the course of the entire season then we would finish on about 126 points which is unheard of.

We’ll end up getting the highest points for 3rd place ever, that would be the Derby way.

Rooney's managerial career starting to mirror that of Frank Lampard, another superstar who had something going here then effed off for something more glamourous 

Derby County, where bad managers come to look good.

Yeah, but Newcastle still couldn't beat them
Oh wait, you meant the other way

Newcastle couldn’t beat us either. 

Just as Man Utd winning one doesn’t mean they’ve turned a corner, Forest winning this one doesn’t mean a great deal, unless they can turn it into a pattern. How long does the new manager bounce last?

I still say it’s papering over the cracks though. It’ll be lauded as some great turning point. Like beating Everton 3-0 or hanging on for a 0-0 draw against Liverpool. But they should be beating villa 3-2. Villas great form aside, at the start of the season, you’d out this down as a home win every day of the week. Again it shows how bad their season has been that beating villa at home get the same response as beating city away would’ve got in seasons past.

one good half of football does not mean ‘there back baby.’ 

Luton being the blunts still means they’re a game in hand away from the relegation zone. 

Between Chelsea and Man Utd it’s ridiculous how the mighty have fallen this season. 

There’s always Sheffield United.

Cooper will be fine. According to my Facebook feed this morning, he doesn't skip leg day......

 

 

Mooning Marinakis?

I hope it’s Burnley hes lined uk for. Then he can spend the rest of the season hunting down forest. It would be so funny if he pipped them in the last day.

Of course we would. I think Cooper is leaving forest with a lot of credit in the game and I'm sure he'd get offers for low prem/top championship clubs.

He’ll be in the prem longer than Forest are. 

The other advice I give to all new dads is that breast feeding is not a contraception! That’s how I ended up with number 2 and 3 exactly a year apart from each other. 

I always thought I should write a book on my parenting style. It mostly revolves around ignoring the kids. When my oldest was a toddler, my wife was working at McDonald’s in the evenings, and I was working from home a lot. We just had to plonk her in front of the tele. She’d ask me for a drink, and I’d say, sure just a minute. But a minute became half an hour. By the time I got up and asked her what she’d like, I’d found she’d already made herself a squash! 

She learned to plait her own hair super quick, and now plaits the hair of all the girls in the dance class. And now she’s 14 she’s learned to cook and cooks us at least 1 3 course meal a week. She’s like a little Cinderella.

Shes super independent. And I genuinely put that down to a slightly hands off style when she was very little. 

Her little sister, on the other hand, is a little princess and expects everything to be done for her, cos she’s the littlest.

It’s not strange, it’s just further proof that the EFL wanted to make an example of us.

An example, by definition, is a precedent. Means that when other people fault to take heed of that example, they get the same punishment. This just rubbishes all of what they did to us, now no one will take them seriously again, and they’ll do whatever they want, knowing just the owner gets a £20k chump change fine. 

Reading are pretty f***** anyway though, they’re struggling to make up the small points deduction they’ve already had. So they’ll be in league 2 next year either way. 

They may have gotten off with less punishment than us, but ultimately they’ll be in a far worse position.

It was an awful game. Both teams seriously lacked quality in the final third.

The highlight of the game was Darwin Nuñez trying to play hard done by when he just ran full pelt into Johnny Evans leaving an elbow. He had the cheek to sarcastically applaud the linesman too as if he it was the wrong decision.

Man Utd looked better without Bruno Fernandes. 

Man Utd playing classic ‘League 1 club draws premier league club away’ tactics. We start the game with a point, let’s keep it, and hope for a miracle at the other end.

Queue pundits saying that United are back, they’ve earned a point away at the champions elect. What crisis?

But when Nan United can only earn points by playing backs against the wall like Luton, something has seriously wrong.
