Bit fat. Need to get some fitness back and lose a few pounds.

Ipswich because a) they’re my second team, b) they deserve it and c) it’s been ages since they were in the top flight.

Just need Leeds to fail in the playoffs now.

No, I won’t. Which means they’ve achieved their objective. Not happy about it though. What’s the crack at other clubs? We can’t be the only ones going through this sort of thing.

…with a history of threatening refs in his home country. In his native Greece, he was acquitted of heroin trafficking and match-fixing, but only after prosecutors made some very colourful allegations. They claimed a referee had his bakery bombed after refusing Marinakis’ requests to favour Olympiakos in a crunch match. And an Athens gallery owner says she once refused to sell a valuable painting to him. Two days later, a group of men stormed the gallery and threw cups of yoghurt over her. Marinakis denies involvement, but he did admit to a habit of visiting the referee's dressing room before important matches - something he explained as "just wishing them good luck".

I think this is a turning point for me. VAR does more harm than good. It’s got to go.

Just seen the disallowed goal and the ‘offside line’. That is not offside! It just isn’t. Cov were robbed. I’d be beyond fuming if I was a Cov fan.

Really undeserved finalists are Man Utd.

This would be for just me. I already have larger tents.

Normally I would agree with this, but I’m not sure this side has it in them.

I thought Cov were going to have a strong chance today. This Utd team is fragile at best, shite at worst. Ten Hag is an absolute clown.

I love a bit of camping, and I’m toying with the idea of doing a bit of wild camping. I’ve been scoping out backpacking tents, and I reckon the Vango Banshee 200 is the best pound for pound. May invest.

This is absolutely embarrassing. You can’t do that! Complete losers. They’re not the first club to have decisions go against them and they won’t be the last. They need to grow up and stop being such stupid babies. The quicker they frig off back down to League One the better.

This. The three promoted are almost ridiculously bad. The fact that Forest are in a dog fight with them is a testament to just how crap they actually are. Jammy sods.

I was thinking yesterday after he scored how I can barely imagine LCFC without him. I’d love him to still be involved with the club, Director of Shithousery or something.

Thought he was unbelievable yesterday. Easily man of the match. An absolute wall.

Please not Leeds as Champions. They’re insufferable as it is with all their Yorkshire bullshit. They need to be losing in the playoffs.

Spurs were never going to win it. It was just a narrative created by the Sky-led football media because they’d spent the previous goodness-knows-how-many years telling us that A) the title race is only ever fought between a handful of teams and B) Tottenham were one of those teams. They assumed we would slip up; we didn’t. Boo hoo, you perpetual losers.

Without even clicking on the link, I know this is going to be the Mike Basset clip. Fair play, it’s what I would have posted if you hadn’t beat me to it.

I wanted to go to a game earlier in the season with my young son, and it was going to cost me like £65 even in the very cheapest / worst seats. In fairness I did try to buy the tickets quite late and I do think they use demand-based pricing, so maybe there are better deals to be had. I was most disappointed by the lack of concession for children. It’s no wonder the average age of the Tigers’ crowd is well into the 90s.

Easy to get tickets but disgustingly expensive.

Cooper or Potter. Cooper did what he did at Forest despite working for an absolute f ucking mentalist owner, who let his gormless son go round signing shite players for masses of money.

Everybody is droning on and on about tactics and team selection, but that isn’t really the problem. We’ve turned to shite because the squad’s heads have gone. They’ve lost their confidence, belief, momentum and winning habit. The real question is whether the players can sort their heads out. Yeah, I agree Daka shouldn’t be starting and the manager should be making impact substitutions earlier in the game where required, but this is all just tinkering. Will they recover it in the next four games? My hunch is no. The fans have turned and atmosphere at the games is going to be toxic. People are going to be groaning when Daka’s name is inevitably read out before game. If we’re not winning at half time against West Brom there will be boos ringing out. This is the doom spiral.

I see there's a lot of measured and rational reactions here on Foxestalk, as per.

Yes. If our hypothetical promotion was nulled by a points deduction, it would knacker the play-offs. You can’t reassign the standings and replay those.
