And yet Man City continue without any sanction whatsoever. The arbitrary nature in which they've issued points deductions, partially rescinded them in the case of Everton and then added more is utterly ridiculous. Irrespective of who you support, no-one should be comfortable with this shit-show. Everton have been handed a total of 12 deducted points this season. Luton are currently 11 points behind them and in the relegation places, if it finishes like that you can see Luton taking them to court. Utterly ridiculous.

Deep in the Tory heartland that is North Hampshire, 9/18 wards have been announced so far - Tories have only picked up 3! Ours has gone to the Green Party - local fella who has stood in every election for the past 5 years including the GE, drinks in my local and refers to our sitting MP as 'a vacuous cunt!' and is interested in understand what is important to you as opposed to rattling off his own agenda. More of this please. One of the wards has gone to the Women's Equality Party who took 22% of the share. Tories only took 9%

Implosion ... and it's fucking hilarious!

30 years since Senna died. FFS it feels like yesterday!

It's why IMO the PL in its current format is finished. Bruno should not have to be sold to comply with artificial rules that do not account for owner's wealth. It's the Saudi sovereign wealth fund - the richest on the planet - not some dodgy millionaire. Simon Jordan's suggestion about rewriting the rules and bringing levels of taxation into play is a good idea, but six clubs effectively rule the roost.

So Howe has now confirmed the clause is there and must be triggered before the end of June. Clearest "come and get him!" there could be. It was nice whilst it lasted.

Changed mine back in late February. Contemplated a Tesla for all of about 5 minutes before coming to the conclusion the only redeeming feature for me was the farting indicators (if you know, you know) but i reckon that novelty would soon wear off. Also the fact I don't own my own place meant I could either fork out a shit-tonne on a charge point that my landlord would benefit long term from, or survive on trickle-charge made it even less appealing. In the end I went for a petrol A-Class. Seems a nice car.

The added bonus that it could help dispel any notion that PGMOL is a closed and controlled club as well.

These lot, man....

If Webb didn't know then surely Attwell was at risk of being given a Luton match to referee. I'm not buying that he wasn't aware. Probably irritated that Forest queried the appointment. Strengthens the argument in my view for more foreign referees with no team affiliation. If we're happy to have foreign players and coaches, why not officials as well - particularly, as the authorities keep banging on about, we've got a desperate shortage of British-based officials hence why the standards are dropping....

I'm probably in the minority but I've never advocated it in any shape or form - it over-sanitises to the point where it takes what is magic about the sport away. The moments that hooked us all when we were kids. Look at the Coventry game yesterday, technically they were right to disallow the goal but in the spirit of the game it just felt like the magic of the cup was ripped away in an instant. Consider our CL campaign in 2002/03 when we got the last minute winner at Feyenoord to take us through to the next round and imagine that goal have been ruled out thanks to a fag-paper thin offside decision in an earlier phase of play. Offsides need a review for me as well - make it so there has to be clear air between attacker and defender for it to be offside. That way we don't have this utter nonsense where you're offside due to a hand / toenail / etc.

Didn't they do this initially though and everyone said it was ludicrous that a bloke behind a TV screen in Stockley Park was making the decisions rather than the on-field referee who to that point had ALWAYS had the final say? There definitely needs to be amendments if it's to remain as it's ruining the game. I'm still in favour of each team having a limited number of VAR challenges per match (3 each maybe) and once they've burned them that's it - it's down to the on-field referee to decide.

I don't share your optimism. I think the scroats at the FA will use him as an example, and there'll evidently be considerable support from other clubs in the league. A great player he is but it does beg questions about the level of due diligence we did on the lad before spending £55m on him.

Still get angry watching this despite the many years that have passed. He was never the same player for us after that IMO. Read somewhere that he yelled “they just don’t want to let me play!” as he marched down the tunnel.

Been away for a while. As some of you are aware I've really struggled with my mental health this year. It culminated in me last month getting blind drunk and trying to take my own life. I am now tee-total and sporting a deep knife scar which I doubt will ever go away. The Samaritans were truly lifesavers and I thank the guy I spoke to for 2 hours from the bottom of my heart. My advice to all of you ... if ANYTHING is troubling you, talk it through with someone and absolutely DO NOT bury shit because it will come back to try and defeat you at some point.

Depends who you talk to but a lot on conjecture that the players did turn on him and blamed him. It's a crazy call if you ask me.

Sounds like Steve Cooper has been sacked by Forest with Nuno Espirito Santo expected to replace him. I know they've had a shocking run of late, but I'm not sure I properly understand this one - think they might live to regret it.

The previous car I have had Apple Car Play which I thought was going to be some gimmick. It's now a mandatory requirement for any car for me from now on and suffice to say my current one has it too. It's a complete game changer.

Unbelievably proud Dad

They’re doing a prequel to the film ‘The Equalizer’. It’s called ‘One Nil’.

Has to be in contention for the England squad IYAM.

Still buzzing ... hours later. As someone pointed out to me this morning Mbappe and Dembele were kept quiet by two central defenders Steve Bruce had at his disposal and intimated weren't good enough for the Premier League. Hope him, Ashley and Charnley were observing last night and acutely understood what opportunity they consistently overlooked.
