That's baked beans for yer!  😲

Stupid typing sticky fingers. 

In a pot is weird. I always wondered why they did that, now I know, there’s a lot of weirdos about. 

used to love beans and sausages, but they cost a fortune now. My wife refuses to buy them. 

If the  CV likes a Gibb’s-White and the other players they massively overpaid for can’t claw them back 4pts then they deserve to be relegated. But then this isn’t a disincentive at all. They might as well by haaland for £200m knowing that he’s easily worth 4 extra points. 

if the league want to really disincentivise clubs from breaking the rules, they need to make the punishment such that relegation is inevitable. Like ours. 

everton and forest will both stay up, easily. So the punishment affects nothing. They’ll just lose a few quid for lost places. The league might as well have just fined them in the first place.

That’s just a Nottingham thing.

Notts most sought after stud.  He gets brought in once a year to service their sisters when they get tired and add some fresh DNA to the gene pool.  Explains a lot.

I’m not sure I’d call that fresh.

As the boundary of Sherwood Forest was Chatsworth and 80% of it was in Derbyshire he would have lived here had he ever existed.  The t*** in the story was from Nottingham.  He would have been from Doncaster per any true evidence.  Not much of an improvement to be fair.  Roughest place I've ever been out in .  Bouncers at the chip shop I s*** you not.

It’s funny that Doncaster airport is called Robin Hood airport. Now, I don’t want to give Nottingham this much credit, but if I was a foreigner flying in to Robin Hood airport, I would definitely expect to be getting flying into Nottingham, and would be incredibly disappointed to find I’m in Doncaster (I would be reasonably disappointed to be in Nottingham, but at least I would have a fairly realistic expectation of being greeted by men in tights).

like, okay Doncaster, by all means make a claim to Robin Hood, but you still have to face facts that to anyone who has ever consumed any Robin Hood media, Robin Hood came from Nottingham and had an American accent. And it shall be forever thus.

If that happens let’s flash forward approximately 12 months and witness the perfect storm of relegation - Gumps, Dirties and Fester again.

As much as I love that idea (and us going the opposite way with a back to back promotion of course), I think Bris’s scenario calls for one or both no then to be better than Forest. So we’re hoping for the third promoted team, maybe Ipswich, to be better than all 3. Back to back promotion and safe in the premier league, that would be a helluvan achievement. And will totally steal our thunder when we do it the year after.

It was a cracking game. 

And they’ve drawn Coventry in the semis. So many things this season have papered over the cracks of a rubbish team. They’ll all point to an fa cup final as an achievement. It’ll end up being Chelsea vs United, the two biggest underachievers this season, that deserve nothing, and one of them will win the fa cup.

not that I wanted Liverpool to win it either, so it’s all a bit meh. Good game though.

Riverside development land to be sold off to balance the books?

They can ground share with notts county until they build their own.

They wouldn’t be able to fill it. They should probably go to Mansfield or summat.

Desperate to live in Derbyshire aren't they?

Even Robin Hood was buried in Derbyshire. Couldn’t wait to be shot of the place.

There’s going to have to be a compromise somewhere.
 

Someone unfashionable like Henderson plays.

You take a risk on TAA (if he’ll even be fit).

You risk Foden, Bellingham and Rice but you tell the latter two to play to a role.

Back three, midfield two of Bellingham and Rice and you tell the former to play to a role.

The nuclear option would be Stones in midfield and a leave a vulnerable back two.

We should just go for it, ‘we're gonna score one more than you’ style.

Tonight's interesting fixtures (aside from our own, obviously)

Carlisle vs Barnsley
Lincoln vs Cambridge (my sneaky pick for 6th)
Northampton vs Blackpool
Portsmouth vs Burton (up the Brewers)
Shrewsbury vs Exeter
Bolton vs Oxford

No Stevenage or Peterborough

I’m giving you a like just cos no one liked my post about Lincoln sneaking into 6th.

Relegation 6 pointer away at Luton next week. Luton to outfight them and get the points.

Ooo, tasty. I can’t bloody wait til Luton beat them. That’ll be so f****** funny!!

Then I’ll be joining the march to postpone the points deduction til next season. How does a relegation and start next season on -10pts sound to you @Red_Dawn

and it’s so much sweeter given what we’ve been through in very recent history. Expect approximately the square route of naff all sympathy. 

Actually, looking at Lincoln’s form I can see them Being the team that rides a wave of momentum and sneaks into 6th place and takes the play offs by storm. Hopefully not relevant to this thread, cos we won’t need to worry about the play offs.

What a great Saturday:

• Blackpool 0 Portsmouth 0
• Exeter 2 Bolton 2
• Bristol Rovers 0 RAMS 3
• Barnsley 1 Lincoln 5
• Burton 1 Peterborough 3

With nine games to go, we have moved into our best league position of the season - for the very first time we are second on points per game. Objectively second.

There are going to be a fair few twists and turns between now and the end, but I'd rather be in our position than the three below us. Plus our excellent goal difference had another boost. Come on you Rams!

Imagine being a Barnsley fan though. Wait, no, I don’t have to imagine, I’m a Derby fan, that kind of heartache is pretty normal. One day you’re top of the world, the next you’re smashed 5-1 by Lincoln. Standard. 

Well we can’t all speak Chaucerian English.

Neil Lennon apparently taking over at Aberdeen.

I can only imagine the whimper of despair from his wife at the prospect of him being around the house all day again. Given the stage of the season she might have to put up with Colin all the way through to October when clubs start getting the sackings in.

Dunno. There’s a lot of clubs in the championship that could use a touch of warnock.

I must admit I get a sense of enjoyment when bad things happen to bad people. It’d be nice if they were relegated on merit, but it would be hilarious if they’re relegated on a dodgy refs decision or technicality.

How the EFL have been able to sweep their inadequacies under the carpet since our debacle is unbelievable.

No doubt another team will find another loophole and exploit it accordingly. The rules need looking at in great detail and tightening up as much as possible. The EFL, PL and FA need to sit down and work together, madness that they're all governing in different ways when we're all on one island. 

That’s sounds dangerously like a regulator you’re describing.

You need to stop treating xG as gospel. Their main CF is a poor finisher, hence why he's scored less goals than his xG, and Peterborough's overall record being similar.

I like xG as a stat, but ultimately you’re spot on. If your goals scored are less than your xG, it tells you that your centre forward can’t finish the chances you’re creating. That’s why xG is a good stat, but it doesn’t mean your CF is suddenly going to turn into a good finisher overnight. If he’s a crap finisher now, he’ll probably continue to be a crap finisher until the end of the season. You can have Zidane creating all the chances in the world, but if connor salmon is your number 9, your xG and your goals for are going to be completely unbalanced. 

theo Robinson. I always thought he seemed a total donkey, but then he got a really good return of goals. I’d love to hear his xG to GF ratio.

The gumps doing that is the most tinpot thing i've ever heard of. Fatty thinking he can buy the decisions like he does in Greece.

 

Maybe he thought, if they have an in house ref, he’d get to ref all their home games.
