Leeds. Leeds are falling apart again.

It's a sad reflection that this is the case. Is this because more unique posters come to the site after a defeat than a win? Or because there is more posting and engagement after a defeat. Many of the people who post negatively after a defeat get replies back, then a debate is generated. Whereas people posting postively after a win and less likely to get replies. It always makes my heart sink a little when the matchday thread only has about 15 pages on a Saturday evening after a straightforward 2-0 home win.

How long until Dayo? Dayo? Daylight come and I wanna go home

The Sky-lead MSM conspiracy against Notts Forest continues. Can't wait for Clatters next article in The Daily Sport.

I love how unengaged their fans are. How they have to explain to each other the scenarios for them to go up. One of them "thinks" they'll go up on goals scored if GD is level. How are they gonna get their head round the playoffs?

So you can get fined for not playing a strong team in the EFL cup vs the likes of Sheffield Utd u21s when you are unable to still qualify from group, but you can play a joke team in League One meaning another team can go down?

Clowes needs to send a tweet out now! What is he waiting for? This is pure corruption, he is just too scared to call it out. Terrible owner.

Remember the amount of bile directed at Mike Ashley and his Sports Direct empire. He clearly is a bit of a nob and some of his business practises were unsavoury. But compared to this guy, he's an absolute angel. Finally he might get the spotlight turned on him.

So, assuming Atwell is an England fan, how will they make sure that he doesn't cheat again for the benefit of the team he supports? He'll be disallowing goals in the group stages to cunningly plot an easier route for England to the final. His masterplan will be to get all the big teams into one half of the draw, so England can procede comfortably to the final. Or perhaps we will see his real evil genius at work...making VAR decisions against England, meaning they only finish 2nd in group, but missing all the big teams that he has contrived to end up in the other half! God, he is well dodgy. But brilliant.

What is their argument gonna be: "they said we are like a mafia gang, which we need to sue for because we are 100% definitely not a mafia gang" The Forest Forum is pretty depressing, many of them they are making an incredible stand here vs the problems with VAR and referees in general. They all seemed to miss the part where they excused an official of deliberately cheating to benefit the team he supported. They also claim that loads of other people are behind them (some tweets) and there is a grand conspiracy between Premier League, The Media, TalkSport, Sky etc. They are all coordinated against plucky little Forest, who should have had a penalty, so called out someone for cheating. Oh, and some posters even revelling in their owners crimimal links, laughing about how he'll burn down their bakery, or more sinister actions. Will they be celebrating when someone gets hurt, either on their owner's command or just a Forest moron acting alone.

"The Mail reports that Forest are in the process of drafting a letter to the broadcaster." Hmmm, wonder who their source might be? At least there is a process this time, unlike the tweet. Who is the mafia lawyer signing the letter off?

The club seem very worried about going down. Surely, with all their huge spending they've factored in the impact of a relegation, right? Obviously, no one wants to go down, but a bit of yo-yoing could be expected for a club like Forest, on their journey to becoming (at least) an established Premier League club? I guess they were unable to stay within the rules for spending though, hence the points deduction. For their sake, I hope all this spending hasn't left the club/owner in financial ruin if the mighty Forest were somehow, unbelivably, and of course unfairly, relegated!

I read the Salt Lick by Lulu Allison last year and loved it. Got it as it was nomimated for a prize and had salt in the title. It's not about salt. It is set in the near future though, which I think is a good time for books to be set. I don't tend to read reviews, want to know as little as possible for a new book. I find looking at the table displays in Waterstones enough to find a good one to read. They usually have plenty of well regarded recent novels on display, or modern classics I've not read. I don't read that much though, if I was churning through a book a week, I might do a bit more research.

Without changing, you are now centre left, comrade!
