Forest and Chelsea are absolutely gonna drop points based on recent evidence. Yesterday was a setback, but we're still the best placed of everyone outside of Liverpool and Arsenal to make the CL. It's Man City v Villa on Tuesday night, so someone's dropping points there. Forest and Chelsea play on the last day of the season, so someone's dropping points there. I'm still pretty confident we'll be fine. We've had a run of results going our way and us winning which has put us in this spot, so there was bound to be a setback at some point. We'll get back on track v Ipswich.

Shame the board was down cos yesterday would have been the ideal opportunity to resurrect the CBs vs RW, which is the most urgent position to be upgraded, discussion. And I think it's clear that the CB crowd would have prevailed and out the thing to bed for a generation.

Further underlines why the clipboard is dissenting.

That was the frustrating thing. That we just kept passing the ball back to them in dangerous areas to blow a hole in our GD.

I'm on there, and I find it a pain in the arse, but I wondered if trying to use it like we use this place might make me understand it better. It seems fucking impossible to find anything which is probably why THE CLIPBOARD is dissenting.

Are you saying you would not be in accord with such a move?

Would it be worth just decamping to Discord anyway? Is it free to set something up that mirrors this place? Would save you the hassle of having to put this place right on occasion, and if there is a charge, it's presumably less than hosting a separate site etc.

Nah she had her vaccination booster yesterday, so just the remains of a mouse this morning. And when I say remains I mean the one or two organs that she doesn't like to eat.

Like I said, forgetful fools.

I would actually be in favour of some sort of internment programme for the Aussies on here, after that dickhead Gillet yesterday. They're not all bad, but we can't take a risk. Get a forum set up called THE CAGE and bounce them all across to it. Just til the end of the season to start with, and then we'll trial letting one or two out during the summer.

We better hope so given that it's the only remaining match from which you expect us to get points. The team 3rd in the division suddenly set to become Southampton with 4 games to go.

One day these fools will remember who guided us to CL qualification last time. Let's pray it's not too late.

Are you lads blind? It's already been started. Fwiw I was in favour of Gloom continuing. If the site's down, it doesn't count.

What is this violent sexual offender talking about?

@spongebob toonpants @PaddockLad There's a podcast called Empire which has just ran a short series of episodes covering The Troubles. The bloke they've had on to talk about it is Patrick Radden Keefe, who wrote Say Nothing, so it's basically been a fleshing out of that story. I think it's episodes 241 through 245, or S16 E11-15 depending on how it appears in your podcast app of choice. Well worth a listen.

Saw someone post something along the lines of "Fair play Villa. Good luck with your bins" on Bluesky which I think captured the mood nicely.

Nice one Andrew, cheers for sorting.

They were really good btw. We looked like a team that had persisted with a starting 11 to the point of exhaustion. That's no criticism of Tindall, there was no obvious reason to change after Palace, but it just caught up with us. Their subs compared to ours underlined how important having a squad is. Villa have a women's team to sell to dig themselves out of their latest PSR hole, after filing a 13 month year in their accounts to get out of their last one. Joelinton in particular yesterday, couldn't weight a pass to save his life and Bruno wasn't much better. His booking was fucking idiotic - it's days like yesterday where he let's the emotions get the better of him, that you need a Trippier there as a backup captain.

What a fucking dreadful interruption to the Easter weekend that was.

She's fucking done it again. This time I caught her walking towards the cat flap trying to carry it into the house. Locked the cat flap, then got her in the house with it left outside and have just had to dispose of it. Fucking minger.

CT's daughter took 4 weeks. No way Eddie is softer than the product of CT's loins.

I didn't realise Villa have got us tomorrow and then Man City away on Tuesday. That's some run of games and great that those two are stealing points off one another.

Hey @t00nraider2, appreciate the support. I understand you won't know a lot about buying and selling quality players from/to Italy, so you won't know about the finances of Italian clubs. Best to leave this to the people that would have a clue.

Juventus can't afford him.

We'll beat Ipswich, Chelsea, and Everton. Ipswich relegated and shit, Chelsea in poor form, Everton will be fully on the beach on the last day and it'll be a party atmosphere at SJP. Minimum of a point from Brighton and Villa. By the time we play Arsenal, they'll either be focused on a CL final or in the depths that they failed to make the final. I could see us going there and them not being able to match our intensity cos their season is over. You're being ridiculous and totally underestimating this team to suggest that we can only beat a team in the bottom 3. If that was the case, we wouldn't be sitting 3rd in the table.
