Also, lest we forget, completely invented a new handball interpretation when they kicked the ball against Matt Mills hands that were on the floor at point blank range. Then booked Kasper for complaining. Then sent him off for "kicking the ball away" when they scored. He had kicked it to the half way line - which is A) Where it was supposed to be. B) Our ball as we were kicking off. He's always looked out for Forest when they need a hand(ball), no wonder they were upset he's gone.

Meanwhile, tough financial times elsewhere (BBC Gossip): Poor babies, only get a meagre 80 million PER YEAR off Adidas if they finish outside the top 4, how will they cope? Don't worry though, the Prem are on the case to make sure King Power don't sponsor us for an "artificially inflated" amount, that wouldn't be faaaaaaaaaaaaaaair.

In my mind, the explanation that makes the most sense for signing Vestergaard, is Rodgers asking for something "like Harry Maguire" when getting a new centre back, because he knew Maguire worked well in his system previously, and he was desperate for more height at the back to cover up the fact he was an appalling failure at coaching defensive set piece organisation. (Interestingly, when he got to buy a centre back again, he went for Souttar, once again desperately trying to inject more height at the back) Of course, he forgot that he got fofana in the first place because his pace was very useful for covering the fact he wasn't very good at coaching and organised high line defense either and needed recovery pace desperately, so when that was immediately exposed with Vestergaard playing that role he just chucked Jannick under the bus and went back to Amartey, who was merely below average at both aspects.

The big 6 are a poison to the whole game, they corrupt everything they touch, they destroy the other clubs through their financial manipulations of the structure and financing of competitions. It's never ending, it's ffp, it's changes to champions league seedings to include all prior success no matter how far ago, it's champions league wildcards, swiss formats. Changes to fa cup gate receipt division, TV "facility payments" for more televised games, even though all Prem games are televised worldwide. It's worldwide Prem payment distribution, that used to be an equal share amongst all 20, but was changed to greater reward finishing position. TV advertising, constant commercial deals from multinational companies that only reward the big 6. How many times have we had to sit through mason mount sure commercials, or Liverpool Nivea ads when watching a game? Now it's Arsenal women advertising Google phones. In the women's game, man Utd didn't even have a team a few years back, and they've already managed to speed run their league to a big 6 tossfest where everyone else is cannon fodder in record time. Go to a shop and look at all the big 6 shit on sale. Get your Cadburys dairy milk with a Tottenham logo in a supermarket in Leicester, but you'll never see lcfc bars for sale in there. ****ing Cadburys don't even include villa or wolves in their sponsorship, and they are (were) a west midlands company! So in short, balls to the big 6. Football will never be healthy until they are destroyed. Man Utd should be broken up like Standard Oil were, they are a disgusting, filthy, evil cartel, and it should be socially unacceptable to support them or Liverpool, for companies or people. Every plastic fan of either club, who chose to "follow" the winningest team in the country when they were a stupid glory hunting little twat at school in the 80s or 90s should be rounded up and Shame walked down the street like that episode of game of thrones whilst they are pelted with products from all their Uber clubs commercial partners (up to and including Chevrolet's and DHL vans thrown by trebuchet).

Peter Ridsdale angry about Leeds spending loads of money, or just angry he can't afford some quality rented fish for his office at Preston 😄

Thought the last episode was cracking. Stefan was a great guest and did a really good job explaining the ffp situation, and then there was some good comedy later on to cheer everyone up after the financial misery. Particularly enjoyed the fish dinners bit, the recurring joke of accidentally playing cotton eyed Joe and cracked up at Jordan asking if the Who are you being "gettable" meant he had a chance and Jake telling him he'd not been talking about Jordan for the past few minutes. Brutal . One day Jordan will get a quiz right, and it will be a historic moment.

So the Prem don't like us, the FPL don't like us, they are both trying to rewrite their FFP rules to screw us over if possible, Leeds are getting opponents red carded and getting away with murder every week, while every game we are getting bad decisions going against us consistently, expecially every time we are on TV, and against top of the table opposition. It's ok, it will even itself out, nothing sinister going on here at all.

Top Tip: Sing "Argyle Away" repeatedly to the tune of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" all the way down there on Fox Travel, to make new friends and endear yourself to the whole bus.

Jon Rudkin doesn't really know what Jon Rudkin does. Maybe Jon Rudkin is supposed to be responsible for lots of things. Maybe Jon Rudkin is responsible for nothing. Jon Rudkin can't be sure what the truth is, nobody knows that, not even Jon Rudkin. So best assume someone else is to blame, unless it's a good thing, in which case, Jon thinks Jon should get more credit. Jon also operates on the Major Major office visiting policy from Catch 22. Managers wanting to know about transfers aren't allowed to visit him in his office, as he is very busy. They are allowed to visit him in his office when he's not there in the office only.

Encourages the big 6 to raid other clubs academy's as well, as happened to us with Trey Nyoni. Liverpool have previous there, helped themselves to Raheem Sterling from QPR. QPR ended up with an initial 450k, rising to 2 million. Liverpool made 45-50 million selling him to Man City. That 50 million would sure have helped out QPR when they were having financial troubles.

Bang on. At the time it was happening, I thought it would have been fun if the Prem and EFL, who are always so keen to defend their video footage from copyright infringement, would apply the same rigour to the big 6 breakaway teams. Kick them out, strip them of every trophy they ever won and award them to the next best non evil club in that competition for the entire history of football. Then ban the big 6 from ever using a single second of match footage, or an image of any trophy, as it is featuring the intellectual property of the football league. Makes it harder to be a big 6 glory hunting fan and promote their clubs on that when you can't reference the glory or show any images of it.

20 sponsors, 20 sponsors man Yanited Only come to see Yaaaaanited ('s 237 million pound teamviewer sponsored kit, on a 100 million pound a year Adidas shirt), only come to see Yanited... And for Liverpool fans Du du du, **** the Tories (but American right wing republican billionaires running a hyper capitalist business stealing 16 year old children from rival clubs for profit is fine, as long as all our loyal fans from London/Wales/Ireland/Scotland/china who've never set foot in the city can see us winning) You'll Nivea walk alone

I think we have a lack of depth in certain positions, caused by a somewhat imbalanced squad, and are also feeling the effects of an intense run of games with minimal recovery and importantly, training time to sharpen things up. Central midfield, wings and full back are where we don't have lots of good quality cover, so we are lacking options to get fresh legs in the front of the team towards the end of games. We have cover at striker and centre back, and have been subbing on fresh strikers, but we don't have the options for fresh 8s and quality wingers, and we've had to over play Ricardo lately as well. Fingers crossed we can get a good result on Saturday, and hopefully things improve a bit when we get a breather to get some players back and rest up the key players to get their energy back.

Think the peno shout at the end is the ref wanting the game done without wanting to draw any attention to himself ahead of his big prem game. Of course, if there were standards or proper assessing, they might question what on earth he had been doing for the previous 90 minutes, after demonstarting some of the most one sided judgement of fouls I've ever seen, but that's not something that concerns PGMOL, so job done, enjoy your day out in the limelight matey.

Meanwhile, the Liverpool 's of the world are about to make 10 million just off a documentary filming Klopps last season. To go with all their revenue from sponsors, Champions League, shirt manufacturer etc etc. Don't worry smaller clubs, invest in your academy, then you can produce home grown players to compete against the big 6 .... and here come Liverpool to take your best youngsters. Payment? When they feel like it sometime later. Well, get a cup run then, win some prize money... and Liverpool and Man Utd get an extra 50k for round 5, even though all ties are on TV, because BBC and ITV like them so much they dump our tie to iPlayer so it somehow isn't worthy of the full fee? Man Utd want a new stadium though, can them have some taxpayer money pweeease?

Yes, but when is Paul Konchelsky back?

Given we gave up on sensi as we can't afford him, and could end up losing Ndidi, Praet, Yunus, fatawu, Nacho, Vestergaard, Vardy, it doesn't bode well at all. We would be well down on midfielders, and back to square one again on wingers, with naff all money to spend. Terrifying.

It's not so different from the old Kerlon dolphin dribble

The one that always got me was the Craig Dawson handball goal Vs west ham. We were told it was because "part of the ball was over the t-shirt line", treating a t shirt sleeve as if it was the goalline. If that were the case, you'd be able to bend down, pick the ball up with your elbows, hold it to your chest like a keeper and sprint down the pitch carrying it, as long as part of your sleeve overhung a sliver of the ball. Then just chuck yourself into the net while yelling "T SHIRT LINE".

Remember when Huth was suspended for 2 games for Stoke for improper Twitter posts - because he "bought the game into disrepute" Today, we lost after a man convicted and sentenced to jail for attempted murder scored a goal. Does attempting a murder bring the game more or less into disrepute than offensive twitter posts, or is it because Chair is a no-name player so the tabloids haven't kicked up enough of a fuss?

The standard is so low they can't even operate a chuffing pen now. Took him a minute to write down a 6 letter name. It's a surprise the PGMOL let them out the house on their own, they might have to cross a road, or put their own shorts and shirt on, and I'm not sure they are capable of that.

Yunus did pay all 120 minutes on Tuesday, whereas Praet came off earlier, so Praet might be marginally fresher.

Forest's sub:

Play these 2 at centre back, and if Wilf isn't back, stick Wout in at number 8 and tell him he's allowed to aggressively press and tackle how he likes and is free to go on as many mazy 40 yard dribbles as he likes. He'll have a whale of a time, it will be peak entertainment
