  1. Rumours that Birmingham are going to sack Eustace and get Rooney in to replace him, which would be a very strange decision seeing as they're currently 6th in the league.

    Some refereeing luck again to not give at least one penalty away today.

    Probably have 4 points more than they deserve at home already, luckily for Cooper otherwise the big fat Greek might be twitching

    Funnily enough, Darren England, the VAR in the Spurs/Liverpool game, was supposed to be on this one and was replaced. Good to see some solidarity in the refereeing community, at least.

  3. I've seen a few articles from "back in the day" popping up again in light of the allegations, but I thought this was an especially interesting article. Certainly corroborates the idea that he's particularly litigious when it comes to these allegations, and may explain why these allegations have come out in the media before the legal system:

    Also, the fact that Mr Anti-establishment was shacking up with Jemima Khan (common as muck, she is) is funnier than any routine he's ever performed.

  4. Rangers have a few up there as well - Tom Lawrence, Jack Butland and Kieran Dowell

    Palace and Hull City also have 3 in their squads (although Plange is out on loan)

    Palace have 4 if you include Plange: Hughes, Ebiowie and Plange are the obvious ones, but James Tomkins was on loan here for about a month 15 years ago. I have no idea why I remember that

    If they can get him up and running then that £45m for Johnson will be phenomenal business for them as that's a hell of a lot of money for him, one that Spurs may come to regret.

    Has to be said, Spurs have had a pretty shoddy track record for spending relatively large sums on young British signings in recent years. Ryan Sessegnon for £25m, Djed Spence for £20m, Jack Clarke for £10m, and arguably Joe Rodon for £11m all seem like poor investments in retrospect.

    More interesting is the noise coming from Wales

    Looks like he’s getting his own back from the spat in March. Nice to see the gumps getting a bit of similar medicine to us last year.

    To be honest, if Spurs do spend £50m on him, it'll be Forest that are laughing. I don't think Johnson's a bad player, but you'd have to be insane to even contemplate paying £50m for him.

    Interesting sponsorship announcement from Forest today - a sports betting company that doesn't have a functioning website. 

    Nothing dodgy about that, obviously. No doubt the big Greek's ''shipping'' business has large ties in Asia so it's one that makes sense.

    And quotes from a CMO that doesn't exist:

    You would never see us getting tricked into making deals with parties that aren't what they claim to be.
