How weather forecasts on two different sites can be so different. According to BBC Weather, it's going to be 40 degrees on Monday in Tamworth but according to the Met Office it's "only" going to be 35 degrees. ?‍♀️

I don't sing them all but I have no problems with any of them.
If anyone takes offence at a football match and rattled them, the original fans chanting have been successfull ? I don't take too seriously what's sang in the moment, most fans are reasonable and don't wish death to another club, its just a way of winding you up and getting one up on you. 
My exception to this is personal insults where its unwarranted eg Billy Sharp, the bomber song to German fans. 

I will join in with or start songs that I'm happy to sing and I won't sing songs I don't like. 
I will have a pop at people occasionally who start songs that I think are over the top or really offensive.
But what I won't do is sit tapping on a keyboard calling people "morons" or other names when I sit tutting in the stands and not have the nuts to say it to their face.
As I said on the other thread, we are no better or worse than anyone else, and if that offends some of our holier than thou fans,  tough.
 

It's so good to be back on the forum and reading discussions about teams and football again. I read all the above comments and I feel like I've arrived back in my football home!! ☺️

If he was behind all the signings lately which most seem to approve of, then this is dissapointing 

I used to say I've got clothes older than that player
Turns out I'm now at an age where I actually do....

I think he's one of those where his work goes unnoticed.
These types of players are great for pretentious football fans who like to act like they have a greater understanding than anyone else. The ones that tell you that you clearly never played the game and understand the levels ? He does things you are too stupid to notice etc etc.
I actually like him, but I think at this level, we have to accept players have ambitions of greater things and everyone has a price. I just hope we start getting decent fees in the future for players.

They'd be looking at Forests last trophy...... ?

I felt hobbile I know how I feel when someone calls me a nasty name like mong that I find highly offence but I did so it was not in a nasty way if we sign that lad I will get his name right in the end.

Not this weekend ?☀️

It's not a flashy signing at all but I'm surprised people saying they've never heard of him. Turned out regularly for Watford and Ipswich as I recall. Bags of experience across lots of levels of the EFL

Nah it's not. Just sayin...

If we'd beaten Villa, the man would be idolised, a statue, probably the freedom of the city..... that's how close he was from being the hero, and now he's the villain.
What he did, he did as a fan, wanting the best for the club. He went too far in pushing the limits, but not many of us were calling for him to reign it in.
Ultimately though he failed, and it came at a price. He probably knew before Lampards playoff final that it had to happen soon or we'd fall apart.

It’s an interesting debate, and one I’ve thought about before. Is our academy really as good as some fans make it out to be? Do we get overexcited about our young stars who aren’t really as special as we think they are? Those really are open questions btw, because I’m really not sure what I think.
You can look at Forest for example, much as I don’t want to. A lot of our fans say we’ve got the better academy, but have we? They’ve had players like Cash, Burke and even Brereton go for absolutely huge fees, far larger than what we got for players like Hughes and Bogle. Players like Lascelles and Darlow have also had established Premier League careers, whereas even Hughes and Hendrick have hardly torn it up after leaving us. And I’m pretty sure they were only a category 2 academy until fairly recently. That doesn’t reflect well on all the investment we put into our academy in my view - very few players have left for 10m+ and established themselves in the Premier League. 
We can look further than that as well, how many of the players we’ve let go have made particularly great careers for themselves? Hanson, once regarded as a “hot prospect”, has been released by Oxford. Farrend Rawson, due to be our next big CB, is at Morecambe. Zanzala plays for Newport. These were once regarded as our best young talent, and look at them now. Our academy has hardly churned out a load of top quality players. 
Now, I don’t want to come across overly critical of the academy. Without the players they brought through, we wouldn’t have even put up a fight last year. In fact, we wouldn’t have even had a team to put up a fight. We should be hugely thankful to academy staff like Wassall, who has found some brilliant external talent to bring in and develop, and the coaches that got these players ready to play for our first team when we desperately needed them (many of these coaches are now gone, sadly). 
But I do feel our fans have got a bit over-excited about this current crop that have come through, based on their performances when we won the U18 Premier League. First team football is a totally different proposition. Yes it’s amazing how many have come through at once, but this was through necessity rather than every player being absolutely ready.
Bird being linked with Coventry is no surprise, for example, that’s his level. A good Championship player, nothing more. And that goes for Knight, Buchanan etc as well. I don’t think any of them will go onto have established Premier League careers. Might flirt with the top flight now and then of course, but I think they’ll all spend the best part of their careers in the Championship (I’m not even sure Sibley will manage that). Not that there’s anything wrong with that of course, a Championship career is a damn good career, which will set them up for life. Plenty of good players who’ve done similar in the past. But they’re not as special as some believe in my view.
Not really sure what my point is here. We’ve been at Championship level for most of my lifetime, so producing Championship level players is really all we should expect from our academy. So this is certainly no slight on them. But you sometimes can’t help but feel, with all the investment in our academy, we should be producing the odd player who’s really special, and goes for huge money to the Premier League. To be honest, I think we might have had a couple of those go for free in Ebosele and Ebiowei, thanks to Mel Morris and Quantuma. Do all the others get snapped up whilst they’re still 16, like Gordon and Delap? Maybe, but is there something we can do to persuade them to stay? Or are the big clubs just impossible to compete with? I really don’t know.
TL,DR: Our academy has done a brilliant job, but maybe we should expect more for our investment. Or maybe not. There might be more we can do to persuade our best talent to stay. Or maybe not. Basically I don’t know. This whole post was pointless. Thanks for reading.

Christ. And I thought amortisation was dull. 

I think the only issue is we can only extend his contract by one year. But I suspect he’s already on more, probably doubly what we could offer him right now within the business plan. So it’s unlikely to happen but fingers crossed something can be done 

People need to get over it... I understand why it's frustrating but you have to read a situation. Obviously nothing meant by it.
It shouldn't be an issue to identify someone by how they look. If identifying them as black or white narrows it down or helps then I don't see an issue. 
Maybe I'm not woke enough... 
PS I haven't read pages 2 onwards so apologies if this has already been discussed and closed.

Err don't think this is a new "woke" issue. I think for decades it's been widely inappropriate to describe someone solely on the colour of their skin. Really inappropriate. Obviously nothing meant by it, but it's worth picking it up and saying.  "Appreciate nothing meant by it B4 but referring to someone solely on the colour of their skin can be offensive, try describing them in another for example... ".  No massive woke war of words needed just a PM from one of the mods, probably the post removing/editing and move on. 

With these issues it's always best to consider harm rather than offence - whether there is any potential harm in using an expression. I'd say there isn't any here, and that (a couple of) people are acting with great motives but coming at things from a wrong angle.
Anyway, hopefully we can agree we're all part of Liam Rosenior's Black & White Army

But people saw it that way.
Just want to make it clear I never meant any harm by it.

I just cant remember names very well never have or trying spell it.
Sorry if I caused offence never meant too.
