Frank Large's Black Book

You're going to be a bundle of fun next season if Forest get promoted

What pressure from fans? You must surely be looking at some different websites to me.

No idea if it's true but it's been said that shortages and high costs are here for quite some time as most materials will be heading east to rebuild Ukraine. Not to mention Polish builders.

I've heard La Manga is a nice spot.

That bloke out wide. Corner

I'd argue the last 4 in the Conference is of a higher standard and pedigree than the Europa League.

Good old BBC giving Wham all the sympathy. Try managing for 2 seasons

If ever there was a reason to bin the "historical right" for a CL place you have it right there. What a t*sser.

Maybe Man U haven't realised yet and no-one dare tell them

That's because they still haven't updated the website 4 months on. It still says: Academy Manager: Ian Cawley Head of Academy Player Development: TBC Head of Academy Coach Development: Paul Cheney But reported in the training ground guru on December 21st McGuinness takes on new Head of Player Development role at Leicester https://trainingground.guru/articles/mcguinness-takes-on-new-head-of-player-development-role-at-leicester Searching the "Training Ground Guru" - what sad lives we lead 😆

Can't stand either club for different reasons but with any luck it will derail man city EPL season. Just a shame Klopp will be the beneficiary.

He has a Z in his name. He'll do for me.

There's this one of Pearson........

I do know what you mean Ric and half of me agrees, but the cynical half in me looks at and thinks it is just another way of keeping up the coefficients of some teams whilst trying to ensure others don't improve. I know of (albeit amateur) sports where teams losing in the first round of the "cup" go into the "plate" - and that's fine. What doesn't happen is that teams who are subsequently knocked out of the cup, then go into an even later stage of the "plate" this giving them yet another bite at a cherry. I won't continue the analogy by referencing "saucers" as well 🤣 but you'll get the drift.

Does anyone else think it's ridiculous that PSV have played in all three of the European competitions this season?

You're using an "if" argument to negate an already "if" discussion. Can't compute that.

I wouldn't mind, provided it was versus Rotherham, Wigan, Luton and (please God) Forest.

Mercury is reading FT again.🤣 Seven players Leicester City turned down too soon including two Premier League strikers https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/leicester-city-transfers-adams-toney-5876705.amp

Morrison was in Maynard's bookshop. Just the once.

Not really fair on the Ukrainian people having the sh*t bombed out if them either. Sorry @Long Eaton Fox but it's a visceral reaction. Football fans come a long long way down the list of importance

............because I could then resolve not to read the topics titled "Brendan Rodgers", "Injuries" or anything similar. I get that it's a debate - I really do - but I haven't learnt anything new in months. From either side. Also suspect I won't be reading too many replies to this either😆.

Oh no. Not the Loan Arranger. (There's an opening there for someone less well brought up than me 😆)
