    Newcastle United Saudi Takeover

    I'd guess many coaches would have been from the Corby area with loads of 2nd and 3rd generation Scots living there. I used to deliver to a Littlewoods store there twice a week and even the loading bay lads, from pure English descent, spoke with a Scottish edge to their accent.

    Dabo

    Try the Cardiff victory. Totally unnecessary dive in with studs showing in the last few minutes.

    Robins is the King

    Got to improve on our away form. Just maybe the shite performance last Wednesday was the almighty kick up the arse needed to focus the players minds.

    Some may not care

    Depends how far their supporters had to drive last weekend and if they had enough fuel to get back to the London area ?

    Cup Run Anyone?

    Bollocks to the cup. We cant win it so leave our energy for the league. Prize money for each round could be useful though....

    Well

    Talked with some Norwich fans tonight in the boozer and they said the overall opinion is that Robin's will be a target for the Canaries should there be a vacancy at Carrow Road anytime soon. He's an ex Norwich player who is highly thought of round these parts. Do I think he would got to Norfolk...

    Hughton sacked...could MR be a target ?

    Nope. He's got the same colour blood as the rest of us. Just remind me which shirt colour Forest play in ? 😉

    QPR pre match drinking

    Went to the Community Shield 3 weeks ago and had a couple of pints in a bar on Empire Way and maybe 100 yards maximum from the stadium. £5.55 a pint for Amstel which was a lot less than I expected to pay in London and so close to the stadium. Doesn't help in finding cheaper beer in Shepherds...

    QPR away

    Last time I was there, I was drinking in the Wetherspoons opposite the Central line, Shepherds Bush station. No idea if you will get in there wearing your colours or even if the pub is still there. The Legion were 'escorted' out of the station en masse by the MET and were all forced to drink in...

    Mimicking the 'Hitler Youth'. As the Reading Youf have been around for decades, some of the original members will undoubtedly be pushing it now.

    Reading Forum

    There was a close link some years ago between Chelsea's hard core ultras, the Headhunters, and the Reading Youth (Youf) squad. I'd imagine the link between the two still exists

    Coventry City Transfer Disappointments

    The club didnt make anything out of the Keane deal. The profit was around 7 million but that ended up in the pocket of the individual who loaned us the original 6 mill purchase money.

    George Curtis

    Such a sad day. Like many others on here, the image of George and John Sillett running up to the City supporters at Wembley, holding the FA cup aloft, is one of the happiest memories of my life. When he did his leg at Forest ('thanks' to Frank Wignall) I can recall the press having headlines of...

    When is O'Hare being snapped up?

    I presume the TM stands for Twatty Moron ?

    Nice Plate of Fish and Chips, or Keeping 11 on the Pitch vs Forest

    Ah yes. The Burges ! Reputedly, per square metre, the most violent street in Europe at one time ! 🤼‍♂️🥊

    Nice Plate of Fish and Chips, or Keeping 11 on the Pitch vs Forest
