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

It's cool the BBC have worked out that Joey Barton is thoroughly unpleasant, and him spouting his "views" on social media isn't great. Shame they didn't work it out a few years ago when they were fawning all over him and putting him on question time.

For them, the "magic of the cup" is when catering put some whipped cream and marshmallows in their hot chocolate.

Must be gutting for Sky Sports, they'd already posted Kavanagh and Pawson their personalised Southampton shirts for this one. Thats £140 they'll never get back.

Booooooo.

Bournemouth were completely dead on their feet at the end. We played Enzo ball with a second string lineup and wore down a team full of Premier League players to the point they couldn't even hold the ball for a couple of seconds when chasing a goal in a cup tie at home.
