https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/apr/29/two-men-felled-sycamore-gap-tree-mindless-criminal-damage-court-told These fucking idiots. Absolutely delighted to see their stupid text patter become public record.

Combining it with relegating Everton on the last day as well. What a moment.

They've put out an "apology", the only bit of which I've read seems to be them saying can we please not be fucking stupid and make out like this was a call to action.

SIXTY NIIIIINE BABY!

Absolutely lush aye. There's a big semi for sale at the minute there for £600k. I didn't know that about Monkhouse, the prick.

Gloom, I feel like you might be spending the next few weeks staring at fixture lists and league tables like... I share your pain btw. When the season gets to this stage, you just want all of the remaining fixtures to just happen immediately so you know the outcome. So as a proxy for that we sit like daft cunts trying to work it all out. I fully expect that Forest, Chelsea, and Villa are all going to drop some points between now and the end of the season and that we should be able to maintain our lead on at least two of them. But I'm not looking forward to having to watch it play out. If Brentford take points at Forest on Thursday though, that's a big step in the right direction, particularly because of Forest's last game being vs Chelsea.

Had to go to @Alexand @Monkeys Fist's Forest Hall manor this morning to drop something off on Northumberland Avenue. VERY swanky. Beautiful tree lined streets with fucking mansions up either side.

Aye that's fine. That's a bloke who wanted to commemorate his loyal career at that club. Salah's was a dirty, calculated money move. And any Liverpool fan reading this would say they won the league and they don't care, but that's bollocks cos if any other club pulled this they'd be first in line to tell us how mucky it was and that Liverpool Football Club are better than that.

In a way, I love that their great hero has sullied their title winning moment like this. Their fanbase, so obsessed with and convinced of the purity of their club, and they have to swallow that when Salah scored he made a beeline for a planted commercial opportunity.

Ugh that is vile.

No, that wasn't me about RM job. I didn't even know the job was coming up available until I read that post.

It should certainly have been enough to cut them adrift from us. You could tell from Emery's reaction at full time that he knew how big a defeat that was.

they must have ran out of corned beef.

Well fucking SHUT YOUR MOUTH then.

I could see how you'd get on with him tbf.

wouldn't it be nice if some other clubs dropped points though, you tedious cunt?

Better.

Fucking hell man. "we don't need any favours", which translates as "we don't need teams to take points off our CL rivals". What the fuck are you on about here?

Well that's what I mean by other teams doing us favours. You told me we don't need anyone taking points off our rivals cos we can do it all ourselves.

If we don't get any favours then we'll need to win all of our remaining games and it goes to the final weekend. Which I'm not remotely up for.

We're plotting for Wolves to cancel that out by doing us a favour vs you.

Aye, a proper fucking weirdo. Would delight in telling me how they used to have a dog called n-word and how it was fine back then cos that was an actual colour and you could order a sofa in that colour etc. Most of my time at their house was me doing Tim from The Office reaction-shots-to-camera for my own amusement/sanity.

Forest have got Brentford on Thursday night. Brentford have only lost 3 in the last 10 and are no pushovers (drew away at Arsenal this month). Hopefully they can do us a bit of a favour.

I don't have the heart. On the rare occasions that my wife and mother in law get sucked into one of these monologues, the mother in law in particular does these massive audible sighs and will go "deeeear me..... Oh god." under her breath, and he looks so fucking hurt by it when he catches her. My wife will go as far as exchanging looks with her mam but never says anything. My lot is to just fucking accept that I am in a one way conversation and try to drum up a reaction that is as non-dismissive as possible for when it all ends. He had to retire early due to stress and I think in part it's him saying "I used to be somebody you know?", so telling him he's boring the tits off me would be quite brutal. It's an improvement on my previous father-in-law who would try and co-opt me into jokes at the dinner table about how fat the mother in law was, and when his step-granddaughters came round (all bonny lasses in their teens) he'd go "come and sit on your granddad's knee". 🍭 That was meant to be a lol, but the lollipop might be more appropriate.
