I once went to a toilet in China where I couldn't breathe for the smell. On the way out I saw a banana skin in the corner.
C'mon - this has got to be worth it's own thread.

Probably not the thread for you then tbh 🙂

Been trying to get a table at that place for ages. I'm going to book under the name of Bobby Davison next time.

All nonces are nice nonces to begin with. Everyone noce that.

The logic of the offical statement from Forest seems to suggest that they are being punished for over spending, that somehow not letting them do so allows those with deeper pockets to outspend them. This is a flawed argument on many grounds.
1: Them was the rules all along, if you don't like them then don't play.
2: Those rules were brought in for the absolute benefit of the smaller clubs, to prevent them having to overspend and go into massive debts just to keep up. Indeed, they were put there to ensure that the biggest teams didn't have endless means on their spending, a la early Abramovich.
3: The size of the breach is of such a magnitude as to suggest either complete stupidity or flagrant intent to ignore.
For those comparing the case of Forest and Derby it is clear to see one is a case of bad accounting (ours, as a club we were collectively a bit too cute and we served our punishment, but it was in the end one owner trying to play fast and loose with a definition of debt) and the other a blatant attempt to just subvert the rules as put in place. Forest can cry all they want that they are being chopped off at the knees but the truth is there to see, they broke the rules of the competition they chose to enter into.
The problem we have now is that we enter into a phase of the journey where the lawyers of the convicted become potentially bigger than the lawyers of those prosecuting. Not for Forest but when the day of reckoning comes for City it will be very interesting indeed to see how that plays out.
But, and I say this as someone who is far from a Forest hater (I don't live near there and have no friends or otherwise who support them), it is a sad day when you see the blight that has hit the lower leagues arrive in the top flight. Teams are now not relegated based on their footballing ability and our very close shave with extinction will likely be surpassed by someone like Forest, who just get themselves in that little bit too deep. It is going to happen.

If that was a statement from Joe Joyce I don't know what it was a statement of - he makes Frank Bruno look like Naseem Hamed.

Yeah, and the way he kept wrapping his leg around Parker every time he got in the clinch. He looked anything but a former world champ. The laughing was just a bit strange, not sure if it was a tactic but I was praying for Parker to spark him out. Sadly, looks like he did his ankle and had nothing to plant to get the power.

If you're drilling into plasterboard the best thing you can buy is a stud finder (which should keep the punmeisters amused for at least two pages). If you don't you're at risk of the whole thing ending up on the floor. If you're drilling into Victorian brick you need about three hours, five drills and about six cans of Lucozade to keep you going.
