@Hirstys 12th Pint looks like they might be going into the O2 according to this. https://www.eurosport.com/snooker/plans-announced-for-new-world-snooker-championship-venue-to-complement-crucible-theatre_sto8915039/story.shtml

Us, Plymouth, and Cardiff showing an interest in Brighton midfielder Marc Leonard. 22 year old and deemed surplus to requirements. Been on loan at Northampton for the past two seasons and done well. Still under contract but available for £300k or less. Been with Brighton since he was 16 but just not good enough for the Prem

Byers stats look a hell of a lot better in League 1 than they do in the Championship. Particularly around defensive tackles won and interceptions.

Didn't he lose quite a lot that way?

Will piss myself if they lose on Saturday and drop out of the playoffs

Bryan Robson has set up a financial advice company for 'high performers' so that they get they don't get stung. https://www.highperformanceindividuals.co.uk/ Their own fees model looks a little bit iffy though. I get the same service at £500 for 3 hours that I do at £2000 for 10 hours. So if I've got four problems then I'm going for four lots of £500 and get 12 hours work out of them.

Been told that Forest will be using last season's Ipswich Charlton game,and PGMOL replacing Wednesday fan James Bell due to Ipswich fan pressure as ref the night before, as a precedent when they are called in by the FA to explain their actions.

Bet you were gutted as you were waiting for the charabanc to take you home.

The council are the current landlords although by the looks of this counter statement they're trying to sell the stadium off which is why they couldn't offer a cast iron 10 years. They did provide the EFL with a letter saying they could have the tenancy for 10 years but if they sold it it would be sold with the stipulation that the new owners could renegotiate the lease. Seems that wasn't enough for the EFL but if I was Gateshead then I'd take it further using Coventry as an example and any other club in a similar position. https://www.gateshead.gov.uk/article/27784/Response-to-the-National-League-s-statement-regarding-Gateshead-FC

Double standards by the EFL. Coventry only signed a five year lease when they went back to the Ricoh https://www.coventry.gov.uk/news/article/4619/council-welcomes-sky-blue-cbs-arena-deal

Stuart Atwell was on VAR for Everton Forest. He's a Luton fan https://talksport.com/football/1837536/nottingham-forest-statement-three-penalties-everton-luton-fan/

Not seen him Fernandes apart from his YouTube clips but here's what I know. Came to us as an u14 from Hunslet boys. Leeds wanted him and he trialled but Danny Cadamarteri played a big part in convincing the lad he'd be better with us. Skipped the 15s and went straight into the u16s where he carried on scoring for fun. Done really well on his scholarship and he was offered a pro deal at the beginning of this month but I can't find out if he's signed it yet. I think he needs a full season in the 21s but with the added incentive of first team training integration, a bit like we've done with the likes of Bailey, Joey, and Sam Reed. He actually favours the 10 role and ghosting from deep than being in a two up top. So he could slot into a Rohl system.

Ex Pig John Lundstram on his way to Ipswich on a free after Trabzonspor couldn't afford his wages

The rest of football needs to find a way to devalue the FA Cup. The EFL, if it hasn't been consulted, could respond by extending the EFL Trophy for a season to include Championship clubs and all EFL clubs withdraw. Change the format to home/away leg straight knockouts and kick the pool games into touch and kick out the PL U21 teams. This increases value to a crap trophy but also coverage and therefore direct revenue into the EFL. Or every club from Championship to National North/South threatens to pull out. Totally devalues round 1 and 2 but gives the true minnows a chance to progress to round 3 and get a premier league club. How many overseas viewers will tune into Morpeth Town Vs Grays Athletic in round 5?

Yep
