What a crazy league, just watched Bournemouth absolutely hammer Newcastle, could have 7 or 8. Hope we take care of business tomorrow!

Apparently, a Geordie went into a travel agents looking for a nice seaside holiday.
The agent said “Well, you can’t beat Bournemouth “! 😁As you say, one game at a time. Any lower team can be a banana skin. I have an overwhelming feeling of hubris, hopefully not leading to nemesis today. Coyr!

No reds game today so shout out to our local semi pro non league.
Matches at Carlton Town, Sherwood Colliery, Newark, Hucknall Town, Kimberley Town, Ilkeston Town. It's always a good match, cheap as chips to get in and you can have an affordable burger and beer.
I'm off to Emley v Bishop Aukland in the Northern Premier league. Give it a go, you never know, the next Garry Birtles could be playing.

Not really stellaboy. Just like to support grass roots football. Skegness Town aren't doing too bad. Get your arse out of your recliner. I can just see you in your 25 year old Forest shirt which will obviously be too small for you supporting your local team. come on Skeggeh, come on Skeggeh!

Great reply Gazzi 🤣.

18 Jan 2025 15:44:38

Cheers Perko. Highly recommend mate.

Shout out for Dennis Law great striker even if he was a utd and city player great entertainment watching him back in the day 🤡🤡.

18 Jan 2025 07:06:08
At least he played for Utd and City before they became corporation monsters that destroyed football as we knew it. A time when teams were built and stayed together for more than a season. RIP Mr Law, ty for some great childhood/ youth memories.

With a case of Guinness, and a case of Newky Ale a ton of crap jokes, AND, I'll be on a bicycle with no windows!
You have been warned!

17 Jan 2025 22:06:24

18 Jan 2025 06:32:36

18 Jan 2025 12:48:16
This is your last chance Bowie!
I'm literally standing at Belfast Harbour, and about to cycle onto the Ferry.
When I told them of my Mission, they have actually agreed to let me on free of charge!
The Ferry Master asked me.
"Is he, the Geordie chap who's mad about Forest and is famous for "And So Ta Bed" you speak of me old ship matey? "
"That's the one! Now let me proceed oh sea fairing one! "
You have been warned!

Have you seen the Haaland deal.
Nine and a half year contract, paying him £500, 000 a week. Stupid money for one player, what revenue for the whole team. Some more great deals as well somewhere.

17 Jan 2025 11:35:50
He'll soon want to leave if they get a points deduction and end up relegated.

17 Jan 2025 13:11:35
I thought the football authorities had banned that length of deal after Chelsea’s dealings?

{Ed001's Note - no, just banned amortising the cost of the transfer fee over the length of them.}

17 Jan 2025 13:46:03
Win Win for Mr Haaland.

17 Jan 2025 15:32:36
Nearly as much as his dad earned with us.
CARLO.

Ed1, if those wages are correct that’s an ongoing investment of between £200 m and £250m on ONE player. That tells me that Man City are very very confident of winning their FFP hearing. Of course, they could cash in and sell him if the wheel does come off but in those circumstances it would be a fire sale. In any event very few if any clubs could afford him or his wages ( and why would he take a cut? ).
Whats your interpretation Ed?

{Ed001's Note - have you not noticed his contract is 115 months long? City are laughing at us all mate. I just think they don't give a toss because the owners can afford it.}

18 Jan 2025 09:45:55
That’s a sensational thought Ed ( though you’d probably think of a different word to describe it! ). So, if City were to be found guilty and docked enough points to be relegated ( this is pure speculation by the way) would they keep the all stars squad together, take the financial hit then stroll back to the Prem and hope to avoid future sanctions by doing a Leicester ( ie hiding in the jurisdiction gap between the Prem and the EFL? And so the whole process starts again. Fascinating really…….
Am I right in thinking that transferring the debt by issuing shares ( like Mr M. but on a massive scale) only applies to infrastructure and not players wages and transfers?

{Ed001's Note - I really think they would just take the financial hit, if the players will stay and then do what Leicester has done. The Prem and EFL need to get their act together and close that loophole for cheats to use.

You can't run up debt from investors (ie owners) to use for transfer and salaries no, not for PRS purposes anyway.}

18 Jan 2025 11:21:19
Thanks Ed thought so. It’s going to get very interesting…….

{Ed001's Note - I wouldn't be surprised if they get away with it, even though we all know they are guilty and almost everything in there has already been proven once by UEFA and CAS to be true.}

19 Jan 2025 06:40:27
Man C just flaunting the rules by amortising the cost of a player over a ridiculous period. There should be no points deduction or proceedings taken against any club until the outstanding cases have been brought to a conclusion.

{Ed001's Note - they have not done that.}
