  1. Which thread does this shithousery fall into? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c0qgx84qneko Nottingham Forest have asked Uefa for clarity after expressing their concerns over Crystal Palace's Europa League place. The Eagles won the FA Cup to qualify for Europe for the first time in their history, but Uefa must decide if they have breached its multi-club ownership rules. Uefa's final ruling will centre on American businessman John Textor, owner of Eagle Football - which holds a 43% stake in Palace. Eagle Football also owns a 77% stake in French side Lyon, who - like Palace - have qualified for next season's Europa League. Uefa's rules state "no individual or legal entity" can hold a majority of shareholder voting rights at two clubs in the same European tournament. If a ruling is made against Palace and Lyon, given the French side finished sixth in Ligue 1 they get priority over Palace, who ended 12th in the Premier League. Forest finished seventh in the Premier League, earning a Europa Conference League play-off spot, but stand to gain if Palace are unable to compete in Europe and could be lifted to the Europa League. Sources have told BBC Sport they have issued their reservations to Uefa. Uefa's regulations are in place to prevent collusion between clubs. Palace's argument is their historic FA Cup win - beating Manchester City 1-0 last month - and European qualification was an achievement accomplished entirely on their own merit. The club have insisted they are an entity which operates entirely independently, not within the structures of a multi-club model. Palace also say there has been no employee, backroom staff or coach sharing with Lyon, no dialogue, no collaborative strategy, no combined partnerships, sponsorships or commercial deals and no collective scouting, analysis or software collaborations. Forest have avoided this issue after owner Evangelos Marinakis diluted his control of the club. The Greek businessman also controls Olympiakos, as well as Portuguese side Rio Ave and, at the time, Forest and Olympiakos were both on course to qualify for next season's Champions League. Forest complied with the rules after Uefa changed the date to 1 March for clubs to highlight potential issues in ownership structures as it was becoming unmanageable to go through the checks required from the previous deadline of 1 June. At that point Palace had not acted despite qualification through the FA Cup being a possibility. The first and second qualification rounds of the Europa League and Conference League are in July. BBC Sport contacted Uefa and Palace who declined to comment.
  2. If his was drunk, mine is plastered.

Play-off picture: Swansea, Watford, Hull and Norwich take the four places, with Ipswich just missing out on goal difference. Mid-table comfort: Southampton steady after an erratic start; Coventry’s youthful core keeps them in the top half; West Brom stop the slide but fall short of the play-offs. Survival scrap: Newly promoted Charlton cling on; Millwall’s defensive grit proves vital, but Oxford and Wrexham (both making the jump from League One in consecutive seasons) go straight back down, joined by a financially squeezed Sheffield Wednesday.
  3. MicroSD express cards only was a nice surprise. Granted this one has enough room to hold a lot more games, but that threw my daughter off when she was setting hers off last night. The virtual card thing has also buggered up that trick where you can have 2 accounts share the same games.
  4. Guy will be sacked half way through pre season knowing how we work....
  5. I have these and the champions league ones we got that time. My rum will either go unopened until it pays for the kids uni or until someone smashes it as I don't like rum. I have all the home programmes from 15/16 as well, all the CL programmes and tickets as well as the FA cup programme. Hoping one day they pay the mortgage haha.
  6. I honestly think Ruud will still be here at the start of the season. We surely can't afford to get rid of him unless we sell a player or 2 to stay in line with PSR and then have enough to pay him off.
  7. The Disney deal ends after the spin off episodes coming soon. No idea why it needs a spin off. Torchwood was ok, but this wants to make Dr Who more gritty and make a universe that won't work. If Disney drop it, BBC won't be able to afford the same sort of budget (£10m an episode as opposed to the usual £1m for any other BBC drama) and it will have to go. They built up Susan and then did nothing with it. There has been a lot since Davis came back that breaks the Chekov's gun of writing, which is dreadful in my eyes. Davis broke a few moulds with his first run. He was on record of saying he wanted to bring a bit more camp than before into the show, bringing in polyamourus Captain Jack and a few other nods to making things more progressive. This season there seems to have tried to be progressive with some points (trans rights, pronouns, equal opps for differently abled etc) but instead of making it a point of the story they are just shoehorned in (The meep telling us their pronouns and then it not becoming anything relating to the story, making a point a characther is trans for no reason but to tell you they are trans etc) to make a point and I honestly think to do it to dogwhistle the Mail and other places like that to drive up attention and publicity for the show. Any publicity is good publicity according to them. Any part of a script or story mentioend should be there for a point. Always of the principle "remove everything that has no relevance to the story. If you say in the first act that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third act it absolutely must go off. If it's not going to be fired, it shouldn't be hanging there." Ncuti was great. I was looking forward to more of him. I think it's starting to run it's course again. Moffat jumped just as the corner was turned, Chibnall really screwed the pooch and the correction attempt reeked of Davis doesn't know what to do outside of what he has already done. Any other characther could have played that Doctor, but they tried a safe bet and it failed, at the same time making bi-regeneration a thing to keep his pal Tennant in it. Ncuti had some great stories, but both seasons ended flat. Davis then boxed in a corner goes "people liked Billie Piper. Lets bring her back and get some clicks and news. Hopefully then Disney sign a new deal." She won't be the doctor as she wasn't introduced as The Doctor, just her name. She will be The Moment, but since she looks nothing like The Moment any more as she has gone for the botox and lips that everyone over 20 seems to do now, they look like 2 different people. No Christmas special was teased or been confirmed. All that has been confirmed is a 20 year documentary thing. Feels like the time is right to shut it off again for a decade or two until people remember it should be a silly sci fi show, it doesn't need to go down the Avengers route, which is also now falling apart.
  8. I just moved 10 mins from Burton. Hope I can watch us get beat there in the summer.
  9. 'Kin size of him at Vardy’s leaving match was a sight to behold. Even got a sneaky vape in on the pitch I saw.
  10. Iversen looks set for Preston already it seems.
  11. 8 junior pros also released https://www.lcfc.com/pages/en/media-article/leicester-city-lcfc-jamie-vardy-danny-ward-daniel-iversen-u21s-departing-release-list https://www.instagram.com/p/DKKiP6dRNIi/?img_index=2&igsh=bml5NmtlenRyMW4y Three Men's First Team Players To Leave This Summer We can confirm that three senior professionals – Jamie Vardy, Danny Ward and Daniel Iversen - will leave us following the expiration of their contracts at the end of next month. Three senior professionals to depart Leicester City at the end of their contracts Jamie Vardy’s departure was confirmed last month in an announcement on LCFC.com Goalkeepers Danny Ward and Daniel Iversen will also leave next month, alongside eight junior pros storied career with us was celebrated during our final home game of the Premier League season against Ipswich Town, which saw his 13-year stay with us end on an incredible 500 games with 200 goals – the 200th arriving in that final game. During his time with us, he won two Sky Bet Championship titles, a Community Shield, the FA Cup, and of course the famous Premier League title victory in 2015/16 – making him our greatest-ever player along the way. Also departing is goalkeeper Ward, who joined from Liverpool in the summer of 2018 and has gone on to appear 52 times in a Leicester City shirt – including four penalty shootout victories in cup competitions. Fellow goalkeeper Iversen will bring his stay with us to an end, having joined as a youngster in 2016. Between several impressive loan spells, the Dane appeared 15 times for us in all competitions. In addition to the above three departures, eight of our junior pros will be leaving the Club at the end of June, including Oliver Ewing, Harvey Godsmark-Ford, Ben Grist, Deniche Hill, Liam McAlinney, Arjan Raikhy, Joe Wormleighton and Brad Young. All three leave with the heartfelt thanks of everybody at Leicester City for their contributions during their time at King Power Stadium, as well as our best wishes for the next chapters in their careers.
  12. The BBC News reporter who was on the road with his daughter at the time said it wasn't a parade route closed path. It was a standard road and fans were just filtering away from the parade. Police will have just as much to answer to it seems. Shutting the whole of Liverpool City Centre though would have caused more chaos, but it seems the same as if the police didn't close Burnmoor street at the end of our games or a load of fans walking on the road down Walnut Street. Incident waiting to happen in them cases. You can throw theory and speculation out everywhere as to why, won't change the 2 facts though that it shouldn't happen regardless of the circumstances and that some people here will have life-changing injuries because of this.
  13. How did his car make it there in the first place? Wasn't the road closed off to roads? Even if they have messed up his car, he swerves to hit a crowd of fans. ***** of the highest order.
  14. Putting odds on that Liverpool go all season without having a 3pm Saturday kick off because of it and United still end up bottom half. It was probably why they were bragging that they have 215 live games next year up from 125 due to all the Sunday, Monday and Tuesday fixtures.
  15. So are Forest only conference league next season? No way it changes and becomes Europa then?
  16. What time we think Ruud will be gone then?
  17. I lost my stream for 40 minutes and missed bugger all it seems. Oh...just in time to get a VAR...
  18. My stream died at 30 minutes. I suppose I missed bugger all so far?
  19. No, but that was a brilliant moment. We shipped something like 5 goals in 15 minutes. I was in the family stand and watched the bloke run on the pitch. Walker was having none of it. Spot on
