    You offer a bundle which includes: SKY Sports but also crucially Sky Broadband, Sky home insurance, Sky mobile etc, and the base TV package (which is Sky TVs greatest driver of profit) The sport element has made a loss for Sky every year in it's history, but by bundling lots of other things in to the package the sports budget (and formally, but less so now Movies) becomes negligible overall but it drives all the other subs.  Few people subscribe without wanting Sport or Movies.
    What they are doing here is trying to get a percentage of the EFL fan market to subscribe.  The individual matches will make eye watering losses but are designed to drive enough people to subscribe to enough "extras" to make it worth it.  You need lots of add on products to make this model work, which is what makes the numbers appear uneconomic and yet they are highly successful.

    Fair play to Carlisle. 9th on the list is a great achievement considering where they are geographically and in the table.

    It's the right arm that really interests me. What, I wonder, does "Love Uphill" mean?

    I put the phrase into Google, and the overwhelming result was, er, this image :

    What a club!
    And to think there were people on here claiming that our 22/23 attendances would dwindle in L1 and/or would dwindle in 23/24 if Warne remained in charge... 😂🤦‍♂️
    Some people really don't know this club or these fans.

    The fact that he's played about 150 games at that level would suggest otherwise?

    I don't see how anybody can judge a player like Elder until he has had a decent run in the team and got his fitness back up. Give the guy a chance!

    To every blue-nose that thought our fans were somehow to blame for our financial position and subsequent downfall, rubbing our faces in it - that's karma baby.
    For the rest, you have my deepest sympathy for being at the mercy of barmpot executives.

    Why must people agree? I’ve seen enough of him the last 2 seasons to say he’s got pretty good technique, his heading technique is good, his penalty technique is good, a number of his goals show very good technique with both feet and his mid-riff, here’s a selection of them from this season;
    I agree we would benefit from a younger option in the squad but the discredit levelled at Collins never makes sense to me. If we had Collins as a central striker supported by capable players out wide and a creative 10/8 behind him he’d still score plenty. He’s scored the number of goals he has in his career (215 in senior club football) because of his technique, it’s more likely to be his lack of pace and athleticism that’s stopped him succeeding at a higher level (and caused him to often be caught offside).
    I always think it’s possible to say we need new signings without being completely dismissive of our current players and their contributions.

    More of a trio than a band, isn't it?
    As for Washington, he was doing alright before he got injured. 5 goals/assists in 672 minutes of football is a better rate than NML (not that his influence has been remotely comparable), so to call his signature a very poor decision is an insult to real very poor decisions (which usually require a fee to be paid for very little impact). I doubt his wages are comparable either.

    Feel a bit sorry for Clatters here and he has a point about unmerited targeting of him personally.
    All that happened is Forest called out a clear example of bias and match fixing against VAR, and completely fairly attacked Atwell personally, calling him a Luton Town cheat. Clatters then followed up with a very fair article in the Daily Mail, totally not one sided in Forest's favour and definitely not written as if he was a independent columinst, as opposed to a paid employee of Forest.
    His comments on leaving Forest seem genuinely remorseful and reflective, and not yet more histrionics from a pathetic narcisist.
    Good luck in your future career Clatters. I'm sure it can't get anymore embarrassing.
