Quick question as someone who recently joined the Trust as a paid member. Why are the results being presented to the club before the Trusts members? Surely it would make more sense to present to members, gather feedback and then present to the club. There may be comments or guidance members can offer on how best to communicate and hold the club to account which could be highlighted before any such meeting. Feels like a missed opportunity presenting to the club first and they really don't deserve the courtesy given their attitude towards the fan base.

The John Lewis end of Highcross is nice, and Fosse Park is pretty decent these days, but the area between the clock tower and the train station has just died. Such a shame as I remember back in the 90s it thriving. As someone who only visits the Clock Tower area probably once every 6 months, when did the Clock Tower get taken over by preachers and dubious political bodies? Such groups make the City feel very unwelcoming as crowds of similar minded people gather around. They certainly don't foster community spirit, and to be quite frank, they make me want to stay away from the area as I don't want to be bombarded with such nonsense when I'm out shopping with my family.

I wonder if the promotions of certain individuals inside the club was an indicator of Top's openness to a sale. Position his mates in more senior roles so that when a sale is concluded and the inevitable boardroom changes occur they depart with nice big pay offs. His way of looking after those who are close to him.

Read about this case and sentencing yesterday. Genuinely disgusted that these girls could be treated this way and then humiliated after the events, with the perpetrators free to walk away as if nothing has happened. What was going through the judges mind! I understand his concerns about criminalising them at that age, but I'm sorry the message sent to both them and future offenders is completely unacceptable. They committed very serious crimes, destroyed two innocent people's lives, and have no deterrent to not re-offend in the future. The fact the judicial system even provides them with anonymity is a farce. At the very least they deserve to be outted for their crimes. In 5 or 6 years time they may go on to marry someone's daughter who will be completely oblivious to their past. This sentencing has set a very dangerous precedent in my view and the judge should take a long hard look in the mirror and ask himself whether his judgment is really a fair reflection of the crimes committed.

Sad news, RIP. Remember him coming in and being quite excited we'd managed to sign a player from Celtic given the level we were at. Not the best technically but wore his on on his sleeve and gave his all. Our current bunch of muppets could learn a lot from his attitude and work rate.

The only way to settle this is to promote the top 2, relegate 2 from the PL this season, scrap relegations and promotions between Championship and League 1 this season, then promote 4 from Championship next season whilst relegating 4 from the PL, promote 5 from League 1 with Lincoln and Cardiff guaranteed automatic promotion next season, and have 5 teams relegated from the Championship. Simple! 🤣😂🤣

I keep saying it, but we've got, and have had serious issues with player fitness since Rodgers walked through the door. What on earth do they feed the players down at Seagrave, Sausage Rolls?!? Tielemans looks about 3 stone lighter than the overweight version we had running through treacle. Haven't watched Villa for a while but barely recognised him. Until we overhaul the fitness team we'll continue to struggle I'm afraid.

Begs the question... if Soton went to such lengths to send someone to their opponents training ground for spying, have they bugged dressing rooms to listen in on opponent team talks? The whole situation is a shambles, and surely goes beyond just the playoffs.

You just know Top and Rudkin will spend the whole summer harbouring delusional thoughts of appointing Pep, only for reality to kick in the week before the season starts leading them to frantically appoint Iain Dowie on a 3 year deal.

I usually couldn't give a damn about the SPL, but I've followed the Heart's story this season romanticising over a giant killing. Could this season get any worse. Arsenal finally about to break their duck, Villa likely to win a major European trophy, Spurs likely to avoid relegation at the last minute due to a dodgy refereeing decision, Forest staying up and reaching a European Semi Final, Cov winning the league, Ipswich and likely Southampton who both finished below us last season being promoted, us getting relegated, Lincoln being above us for the 1st time in history. Feel like I'm in a simulation where someone's trying to test how far they can push me until I break.

Wow. That is unbelievable. Clear Motherwell penalty earlier, ref wouldn't even look at it. Celtic get a dubious opportunity for a penalty decision in the last seconds of the game and they can't wait to award it. There's something not quite right there. The decision is real dodgy too. Player clearly gets his head on the ball. It may have touched his arm in the process, but his arm isn't in an unnatural position for anyone who is jumping, he can't pull his arm down as the Celtic players shoulder is under his arm pushing it upwards, and on top of all of that he clearly isn't trying to play the ball with his arm. The game's gone if you're awarding penalties for those sorts of situations. If Hearts miss out now, serious questions need to be asked.

Lovely finish. Sort of finish you'd see Mahrez stick away. Very little back lift with plenty of curl on the shot.

Yet another BR disaster signing. Ordinarily I'd be p*ssed with comments like this, but he sounds desperate to get out so will no doubt push hard to move on which will do us a favour as I have zero faith in Rudkin finding him a new home. If he genuinely wants out as much as he he claims we have him by the balls in terms of negotiating his exit terms. What's the betting the club somehow finds a way of paying off/subsidising the remainder of his contractual terms to move out the door despite his desperation.

Isn't Polo supposed to be for the super rich?!? Top might have to give up his licence soon

Can you enter Donkey's?!? We've got a load to pick from.

Was at the gig too. Thought performance wise they were awesome but I was a little disappointed with the set list. Missed a couple of tracks I was expecting and felt there were moments when the loops between tracks went on a little too long, which brought the energy levels down a touch at times. That said, I sometimes forget how old they are, so that was probably by design especially with the heat inside the arena which was something else. Great show regardless, and I don't think I've danced like that for over 20 years when I was a regular on the clubbing scene. Would definitely go and see them again given the chance.

Was always going to happen but the reality of it being all but confirmed feels like yet another kick in the teeth. Of course he wouldn't want to stay but I was at least hoping we may trigger the option to buy if only to immediately sell at a profit. No doubt dumb and dumber either agreed to a break release clause in the event of relegation or are simply refusing to stump up the cash even though it'll benefit the club. By far our best player this season, and the one who showed more effort than all of the overpaid crap we've managed to accumulate. I wish him all the very best for the future and have no doubt he'll go on to enjoy a long career in the premier league. Thanks JJ 💙

So had we not been complete arseh*les and instead took our punishment last season when we knew there was a high probability of going down we'd have stayed up this season. To p*ss off two footballing authorities in the process and putting a target on our back for the foreseeable future was just the icing on the cake. Thank you Top and Mr Rudkin, the pair of you are absolute geniuses. Well done, now go off and enjoy your holidays, and we'll see you mid July 😘

Depends if you're a happy clapper @Ric Flair. If you are then I suspect Top trumps Vards 😊

What a game this is! Really enjoying it whilst watching with envy. Night and day between how these teams play versus watching Daka fluff his lines and Ayew constantly fall on his arse.

What a finish from Larin

100% not true. Top and Rudkin won't even have realised we're relegated yet. Top probably thinks we still have a chance of the playoffs. No way on this planet either have the foresight to start identifying out next manager and actually appointing someone before the end of June. Rudkin still needs to go on his summer holidays before he can even contemplate firing up Outlook and making any phone calls.

Needs a good coach around him to help him with his decision making and one who knows how to manage him, i.e. pulling him when he's in that mindset of playing for himself but explain after the reasons why. Has a lot of talent which if not managed properly will easily not hit the heights it should. That said he won't be here next season so I'm not going to worry too much about him.

No place for Bare Goals?!?

Because he's a Man City player so he must be the best player ever to grace our team 😒
