Whilst there maybe an element of jingoism from some people, the pro-EU/anti-Brexit agenda still exudes from others.
Regardless of any politics for once we were ahead of the game with this one and for the EU to threaten to block vaccine exports to the UK - a vaccine that we not only helped to fund but also ordered in bulk early is disgusting.
A French grandma dying through EU incompetence is unfortunate, a UK grandma dying because a readily available vaccine is being held up at the border because of politics is I repeat, disgusting.

I’ve taken some time to look at ours and our fellow relegation candidates remaining fixtures, current form and any factors that may positively affect the latter (new manager bounce etc) 
I hate to say it, and I sincerely hope I’m wrong and get torn to shreds for it and made to eat my words at the end of the season, but, we’re going down in the final relegation place and I’m absolutely convinced of it. 
I have no faith left in this squad, I hate to use this next word to describe them because it’s so damning and personal but honestly, we are a team full of fragile, placid, cowards. 
we can’t defend and we don’t score goals, it’s a recipe for disaster 
Worst part about it all is, I can’t see us pulling up any trees in league one either, mid table if we’re lucky. 
 
 
 
 

The first volcanic eruption on the Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland for 800 years started a few hours ago. This will be a 'pretty' eruption - no nasty glaciers to cause a phreatic explosion. What is known as a 'tourism eruption' - only problem is, there are no tourists. If only it had waited a year - we were planning an Icelandic cruise for 2022.
The only down-side at the moment is that the prevailing winds are blowing the gases straight to Reykjavik. Look after yourself, @ramit

During the real lockdown my local children’s play area was barricaded off, but we all know children don’t really spread the virus right?!

I’d imagine Forest will be saved by the changing on FFP rules this year due to Covid. Without Covid it would mostly likely have been Armageddon over there, they had a huge squad and bloated it and the wage bull even higher in the summer. 

I was today years old when I learnt that Burton was in the West Midlands. Amazing when you consider I’ve lived in Swad/Burton for the best part of 30 years!

City have definitely bought success, but still, money doesn’t always do that, as we well know. You still have to spend it well. City have certainly done that, and you have to admire the way they are run to an extent - they always recruit to match the philosophy of football they play. A recruitment team closer to home could learn a lot from that...

I’ve been wanting to post one in here for ages ?

Well, even more understandable now then!  Nervy few moments!
Must admit, I almost put something along the lines of "... losing your nerve...", buy as I convinced myself I understood the theory behind it, I also put my imaginary self in the same position... and imagined me doing the same as you!  ?
Hey... it's a win, and a good 'un at that.  Well done again.  Enjoy.   ??

Bellingham had signed a Pro contract. That's the difference. Since this kid won't sign with us, this is the best we can do.

Have just received mine- nobody took the hint for Christmas so had to buy my own! So looking forward to reading it! May be a bit of a struggle as I read mostly on kindle and can’t hold a big book for long, but that’ll make it last longer.

The quantum leap in mobile communications has got to be one of them.
I remember when I was a kid had to go and knock on someone's door to see if they were coming out to play.
Now you can arrange organised football violence over WhatsApp ?

Thank you so much @Orphanram. To be honest, it's a style I've always loved writing in (did me zero favours when it came to those serious uni assessments!) and so I wanted the book to reflect something I'd enjoy reading. It's quality to see that has happened for quite a lot of you out there. I also always wanted to just get the key thoughts of people and make sure it was something genuinely unique and insightful, rather than just the rambles of a disgruntled fan over the years. This forum and the takes of various supporters really helped to get a full feel for the overall opinions, so I didn't want to just go in on my thoughts, because honestly, who wants those?!
Thanks also @Shaftesbury Street, @Ilsonram12, @Anna, @bucktwoand @Phoenix! Incredible to get the feedback from you all. And @QuitYourJibbaJivin+ @G-Ram - hope you enjoy the book! Would love to get your thoughts. Hopefully I've not missed anyone out!
And without being soppy, massive thanks to all of you. I came into 2020 intent on finishing the book and making a success of it, but it's gone way beyond what I thought it would do. It's been a horrid old year but hopefully those of you who have picked up a copy have found it's brought just that little bit of enjoyment to you. I've got a couple more ideas in the pipeline (one Derby and two a bit wider) that I'm hoping to get stuck into in 2021...

After reading the comments on here, had to buy myself a copy, looking forward to getting stuck into it!
