This is the time for the footballing authorities to let everyone know that no club or person is bigger than the league itself. Look at what happened with Rangers up in Scotland, obviously for a different reason but the Scottish game continued without them at the top table for a few years. The product will not die if Man Utd and Liverpool are punished severely. In fact some of the lower league teams getting the opportunity to play these punished “super league teams” as they all try to come back through the divisions could help the small clubs recoup some of the losses this pandemic as brought them. Throw the book at them.

I’m a massive rugby fan and the talk of no relegation as wound me up for years in that sport. I understand the present no relegation situation in rugby brought on by COVID and the fact teams would go bust if sent down, but last seasons end of season games were an awful spectacle with sides not fearing relegation playing kids to give them experience and basically forfeiting matches with the better sides and going strong against similar rivals. Without relegation sport isn’t the same. We all want success but staying up on the last day of the season brings almost equal joy sometimes.

Leicester now only 28 on betfair to be champions. What a mess this whole saga is.

Gutted I can’t be in a packed pub, having already had a gallon pre match. The nerves would be non existent then.

Anybody venture into town yesterday? Is it worth the effort and is it easy enough to get a table. I’m supposed to be meeting a couple of mates next week and can’t help thinking I’d be better staying local where I know I’d get in okay than to travel into town and not no whether places will be full.

A Nacho masterclass please. Game over by half time so I can relax please. Thank you.

I’d imagine the speed of the table service will be massively dependent on the types of drinks they offer. I remember going into the Slug and Lettuce, as it was then, after a match and waiting ten mins plus to get served not because it was particularly busy but because the barman was making cocktails that took him ten times longer to make than pouring a simple pint of beer.

As bad a result as it was on Sunday having watched it back last night we were unlucky to be 3-0 down in some ways. Wasn’t like West Ham were creating chances galore. It was a flat poor game to watch and West Ham were flattered to go 3 up. We were then flattered in return with how the last twenty mins went as West Ham froze and invited pressure, something that for me rules them out for top four. When the pressure is on they panic. The game this weekend is important for the league campaign. A bit like the Villa semi last season seemed to be a pivotal moment so could this game. The deflation of a defeat could really kill us. Hopefully we will come back to life and win well. Have a final to look forward to and get that winning feeling back. We badly need Maddison back as the goals have dried up for us with the exception of Nacho. Maddison creates and scores. He maybe unpopular at the moment but that’ll soon be forgotten when he bags a couple.

He must be top of the charts this season for goals per minute on the pitch. I see he’s got 8 in the league now and they must have been scored at a ridiculously good rate.

Reminds me of a mate who was in Cape Verde a few years back and managed to hook into a little shark whilst throwing some lures into the sea off the beach.

The weeks rest will see us back to our best. Plenty of players looked leggy against Man City with the ridiculous International games some of them played, exaggerated by the fact we were playing the best team in the world. I think we will be back to the level that battered Man Utd in the cup.

Just seen a video of Gerwyn Price who’s had to pull out the Premier League Darts due to a positive test. He’s just done a video claiming to have taken three home tests since and all three have returned negative. Is this what we’ve got to look forward to with unreliable tests preventing us doing things.

These shit hole cities are only going to get worse as well after this COVID era fades away. Can see nearly half the shops in town closing in the next couple of years and the city centres becoming really run down as the economic impact takes hold.

Results like this and the Chelsea one yesterday were always going to happen in this run in. A few weeks back people were saying we needed 7 or 8 wins basically assuming everyone else will win every game they will be fav to win. There will be plenty more twists and turns and that will also include Liverpool who will slip up again against someone.

Got into fishing about five years ago now having never really fancying it in my younger days. Spent fortunes in the first year buying new gear every week. Like Col I soon picked up several new tactics for catching Carp mainly. Slowed down a lot last couple of years mainly because I sort of went off the commercial fishing lakes a bit and liked natural venues more and more specifically fishing lures off the rocks into the sea, which I absolutely love. I also did some fly fishing for salmon and trout in Ireland which was awesome. As much as I enjoy catch and release fishing there’s something more addictive in catching your dinner. Hoping to get over to Ireland in the summer for a full week of fishing. On the lakes in the morning for trout mainly and then on the rocks in the afternoon for mackerel and pollock.

I’m fine when it’s done professionally but absolutely no way I’m signing some out on display sheet that all and sundry can see. I know of a lad who’s daughter got some unwanted texts from a stranger and she was sure it was because he’d got her number from such a source. My regular pub you filled in a card and it was posted into a box so at least no other punters could see your details.

Was out with a few mates one night and the pub we were in had a clipboard where you was supposed to write your contact details. Literally nothing stopping anybody taking a photo of the sheet with all the names addresses and numbers on and doing what they wanted with the info. I think I was Jamie Vardy that night and my phone number was 999 😉.

I was similar. Sweated like I’ve never done before as well. The bed was soaking come 5am. Had to go into the spare room it was that wet. Next day was a bit lifeless but come the evening I was pretty much back to normal. Then slept brilliantly having had an awful night the previous night. Since then I’ve knocked two mins off my best 5k time, was able to perform all night with the wife every night, hit three nine darters, just shot a 64 round Birstall earlier and even bench pressed 250KG using just my left arm. Seriously don’t understand the anti Vaxers. I want another jab it’s that good.

Was talking to a bus driver yesterday and he was telling me how from after the rush hour, which isn’t really a rush hour at the moment anyway, he often drives the entire bus route without a single stop. Made me realise just how bad town must be at the moment with barely anyone having a reason to go there.

By his standpoint virtually everything in life should be banned. Regarding some people liking the lockdown I think you are right. There’s a surprisingly large number of people who like the present system for lots of different reasons. I personally hate it. I go out five nights a week on average in a normal times. It’s killing me having to stay in every night. Yet my brother who goes out about five times a year at nights keeps telling me how there is no lockdown !

Surely the this talked about third wave will be the acid test of the vaccines. No major problems from it with mass new deaths and hospitalisations then we are well on the home straight to seeing the end of this period in history.

These are decisions VAR should be ruling out. I’ve never had a problem with players buying penalties. Some don’t like it and say it’s cheating etc and I respect that view but you can understand why a ref with one look gives it. Then when we all see it again it’s blatant what’s happened and the penalty should be ruled out. If VAR started reversing these decisions the buying of penalties, as I’ve put it, would reduce. Players at this level would soon realise that the conning of an official who’s got one look from an angle that makes it’s difficult to see properly sometimes wouldn’t be the person who’s deciding. Instead the shitty it’s not a clear and obvious error statements come out and the shitty decision stands. VAR just isn’t being used correctly.

I’m very confident now. Looking at the figures and worrying about how many points we may or may not need is not the reason I’m confident. My confidence is because of what my eyes are telling me. We look the best side in the league bar maybe Man City. I watched every game this weekend. None of the chasers look anywhere near has composed or simply as threatening as we do. Last year was the opposite. The table made me feel confident but what I was watching didn’t install the same confidence.

That’s right and Grittar won the national the same day and he was trained in the County.

I’m struggling to see how we buy a better striker in the Summer. An upgrade on him must be virtually impossible.
