The point being it's purely a social stigma, and as a one off has very little if any health consequences.

As someone who comes from a big extended family (dad was 1 of 8, mum was 1 of 6), I have a couple of good looking female cousins! 

 

What about cousins once removed. I.E. Your cousin's kids? Asking for a friend... 

Jesus christ, foxestalk finds new depths.

It's crazy how you can follow a forum and see poster's who seem relatively normal over a series of years, who then pop up with that one opinion or point of view that just bowls you over.

For me it's not a 'social stigma', it's your family.

 

Surely not? It's your cousin ffs!

I've got kids and the thought of them growing up to marry one of my brother or sisters kids makes me feel sick - any business or discussion like this needs to be nipped in the bud. NHS needs to stay well out of this other than explaining the risks of your inbred kids potentially having serious health issues.

No problem with cousins IMO. 

 

As mentioned it's when it becomes a regular thing that it influences the genetics of a small population. 

Interestingly I did the Loros Elephant walk a couple of weekends ago with the wife and child and it was a real mixed bag. Walking through the High Cross shopping centre and then around the Cathedral and Loseby Lane and St Martins - I actually thought that Leicester city centre does have some really nice areas. That and then parts of New Walk as well (although there were a couple of shady characters around there).

In contrast, when we walked from the Haymarket shopping centre, down Humberstone gate and then galowtree gate down to the Town hall square it was horrendous and there were a few times we felt a little unsafe with our little one - some really dingy places, litter and a lot of homeless people or people with what I assume were either drug problems or poor mental health issues.

In the space of a weekend we saw two massively different sides of the city within just minutes walk of each other.

Anywhere good for wine in town? 

Got a mate over from Bochum for the Cov game and he works in import/export of high end wine and spirits.

I went for dinner at Veeno with the Mrs who loves a wine and even for me, not much of a wine lover, they did have some nice ones that we tried.

Edit - just realised the thread, not really a pub

Ideally a community hub should be built which can be opened up on match days for beers for adults and activities for the kids rather than outdoors, while offering activities for schools and people in the local community on non match days. But that would be far too simple. 

Do the club own that land?

Have a feeling now we have the make-shift fan zone opposite the fanstore that they wouldn't consider this now.

22 years later and most of where the ground stood is still an eyesore to this day, mounds of earth and overgrown grass.

Does anyone know what's planned for this land (if anything) or who owns it?

Chilwell to Strasbourg on a 2-year deal 

what a drop off 

Amazing how a little bit of fight and a bit of passion in a performance can lift your whole mood with the club and football as a whole. Woke up this morning feeling really positive and I think it’s probably the first time in a couple of years.
 

Lots to improve on obviously but a real feel good feeling from a bit of grit and determination showed by the players.

Yes and just my ongoing anxiety about it. I know I have an issue but these guys are all insane and we’re tripping ourselves into a very dark place and there looks to be no way out at the moment. 

My genuine suggestion would be to have a little break from all forms of news and social media etc. get yourself out for a walk down Braggy park.

I think KP as a whole has been attacked the crash still doesn't sit right with me, hopefully Top sells before its to late and he loses everything, selling players and not investing it back into the team while the main business is struggling, something needs to change.

Can you elaborate on this? Or does your response need to go in the Tin Foil Hat Conspiracy thread?

Chelsea’s 3rd. Looks like a £5 sports direct special

Either put both the Nike logo and Chelsea badge central or put them either side, this just looks wrong to me.

As someone who is crap with numbers and accountancy - that kind of thing - say hypothetically we received a lump sum of £30m for this sale, the LCFC bank account had a deposit of £30m from Palace. How would Top or King Power, actually take the money out of the club at this point and how would it show on our accounts? Can KP/Top just take money out of the club if they wanted to?

Having just done a very quick tot up in my head (again not the best with numbers) of the Macquarie loans, player sales, TV and other bits and pieces of income, against what we've potentially spent on wages, player purchases etc. and it just doesn't seem to add up, where's all the money gone?

Things will definitely come full circle though eventually. I think at some point a main selling point for a business will be that they're fully 'AI-free' or boast a 'completely human workforce' or something like that, with people maybe paying a premium for something more authentic and human.

Is it just me or is it a lot harder to get a dodgy football live stream since the Online Safety Act has come in? Had to get a VPN going in order to find something for the game tonight. 

Is your Mrs on here? “Yeah the vpn is for the football babe!”

In defence of the Forest social media team, probably one of the few clubs where if they didn’t wish him a happy birthday he’d storm in their office and bitch slap the lot of them 

The club is such a shambles at the minute, on all fronts

Juande Ramos (Tottenham Hotspur)

Banned ketchup, mayonnaise, and joy. Won the League Cup, then turned Spurs into a tactical salad. Players were too hungry to press. Fans missed their chips and their points.

 

Frank Burrows (Caretaker – West Brom)

Looked like he was born in a tracksuit. Briefly in charge, then vanished like a halftime cup of Bovril. May have been a ghost who only appears during transitional periods.

 

Caretaker Kevin MacDonald (Aston Villa)

Villa’s go-to substitute teacher. Took charge during about 14 managerial sackings. Players called him “Kev” and probably asked if he could let them go home early.

 

Claudio Vivas (Assistant to Bielsa at Leeds – but had one Premier League matchday moment)

Stepped in for Bielsa during an interpreter mix-up. Shouted instructions passionately… in Spanish… to a squad that looked like they’d just downloaded Duolingo.

 

 

Jean Tigana (Fulham)

Brought champagne football and… bankruptcy. Built a lovely passing side but spent the budget like a man loose in Harrods during a blackout. Left Fulham with silky memories and unpaid receipts.

 

Paolo Di Canio (Sunderland)

Fascist salutes, knee-slides, and squad purges — all in 12 games. Banned phones, ketchup, ice, sauce, breathing. Football’s answer to a dictator who also moonlighted as a soap opera villain.

 

Alex McLeish (Aston Villa, Birmingham)

Managed both Villa and Birmingham, which is brave… or suicidal. Played defensive football so grim, even the club cat stopped turning up on matchdays.

 

 

Dave Bassett (Sheffield United, Forest, others)

Could we get him back? Old-school 4-4-2 merchant who looked like your uncle yelling at traffic. Believed long balls and “getting stuck in” were the answers to everything — even climate change.

 

 

Stuart Pearce (Man City)

Put David James up front once. Seriously. Looked like he was managing a pub team and treated every match like a cage fight. Tactical plans consisted of: “Hit them harder.”

 

Ruud Gullit (Chelsea, Newcastle)

Looked cool. Played cool. Managed like he’d dropped his tactics in the bath. Fell out with Shearer at Newcastle — a crime punishable by football death in the North East.

 

José Riga (Charlton Athletic)

Had multiple spells at Charlton in between… absolutely nothing. A ghost manager. Like a rebooted Windows update that nobody asked for.

 

Martin Jol (Spurs, Fulham)

Dutch uncle who always looked like he just woke up from a long nap in a leather armchair. Decent tactician, but never smiled unless the post-match buffet included sausages.

 

Andre Villas-Boas (Chelsea, Spurs)

The “mini-Mourinho” who forgot to install the winning part. Obsessed with data, pressing, and brooding like a Portuguese Batman. Out-thought himself into unemployment.

 

 

Slavisa Jokanovic (Fulham)

Promoted Fulham with beautiful football. Then looked completely shocked when Premier League teams refused to be dominated by Stefan Johansen. Sacked after 12 games of tactical yoga.

 

Phil Brown (Hull City)

Famous for giving a halftime team talk… on the pitch. Like a Sunday League dad who couldn’t wait to tell the kids off. Wore a Bluetooth headset for years too late. Possibly still does.

 

David Pleat (Tottenham – interim master)

The OG caretaker king. Whispered softly, wore beige, and ran like he was trying not to wake someone up. Managed Spurs like he was rearranging cutlery.

A mate sent me a post saying Vards was talking to Forest after Genoa’s manager Viera turned him down, so hoping he doesn’t end up with the trees ffs !!🤦‍♂️ 

He f****n better not!

Few rumours on Twitter of Man United looking at a few free agents including Vardy

Surely with Cunha, Hjolund, Zirkzee and Rashford still on the books he'd end up being 3rd/4th choice?

HMP Vardy

This is everything that is wrong with the social media age. People that know the square root of sweet fa sensationalising and perpetuating non stories which in turn gain Chinese whisper momentum and cause ridiculous headlines. No wonder the club try to maintain radio silence and news blackouts, as best they can, until there is some actual news. 🙄

We'll always get publicity hungry and attention seeking fans along with gutter press repeating baseless bs it's the way of the world sadly 

Alrite Susan!

I’m going to send them a ****ing invoice to be honest, it’s pretty much to a T what’s been brought up in the social media thread  

My first thought after seeing the last 2 or 3 videos the club has put out, was of your suggestions that you’d sent through. Let’s hope they’re starting to listen, although I won’t hold my breath.

The English football pyramid will collapse in a couple of years like a sand castle, like Jenga. This was the plan of the last 10 years and it will happen 100%. They just want a Superleague with all the big teams where the attendances will be full of celebrities, influencers and OnlyFans "models". 

The announcement of the initial plan of a Superleague was made to just test the waters. The big teams which opposed to the initial plan were also involved and both UEFA and FIFA are part of it. 

Sport is gone. The only way to stop them is a massive boycott by every single normal fan this season.
