wtf are these penalties?

Think that was just agent talk. Paddy said the club shot that one down.

Forest wilted at halftime. Game goes to penalties, and based on nerves, I'd fancy Sheffield United

Prior to tonight Sheffield United were 7/1 to get promoted.

Cracking game. Anyone watching it? Sheff United winning 2-1 and 3-3 on aggregrate.

Good atmosphere. Luton make up in energy for what they lack in quality.

Budget Jamal Lewis with the winning penalty 😝

So the kid who had a houseparty and got kicked out of university and had to pay a £10k fine wasn't fairly treated? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-55645885 or the kids who had to pay £10k each? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-54631524

It's a good strike but think the keeper should have done better. They got him in on an emergency from Hull and he conceded seven against Fulham in his first game.

Shurely shome mishtake?

Is it me or does Gove not seem 'all there'? - Particularly more than his normal state I mean.

Labour Policy April 25th - lets abolish non-dom status https://news.sky.com/story/labour-pledges-to-reform-non-dom-rules-benefiting-privileged-few-12598589 Anyone would think that Daily Mail Chairman Jonathan Harmsworth, 4th Viscount Rothermere and non-dom might, just possibly, just maybe, have a vested interest in hurting Labour?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60895742 Proposed new spending rules to replace Uefa's current Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations would limit club spending on wages, transfers and agents' fees to 70% of their revenue from 2025. If agreed, the plans will be phased in from 2023, when clubs will be allowed to spend 90% of their income, reducing to 80% in 2024 and 70% a year later.

Posted something similar before. I can't find the Swiss Ramble/Kieran Maguire version, but the numbers look feasible. Without trying to put words into King Canary's mouth, I think his point is that Manchester United's revenue contains large amounts of commercial sales based on previous success. I thought the UEFA rulings were trying to set wages/transfers at 70% of revenue, so even if Newcastle or Aston Villa want to lose £100m a year trying to bridge the gap they can't. Effectively the changes create a cartel and cement the 'big 6'. Largely because of the commercial partnerships that the big 6 currently have, a glass ceiling gets created that other clubs can't break through.

Really? Biden absolutely hates him, to the point of visibly snubbing him, after the tripe he wrote about Obama. Ukraine is thankful for the weaponry but is going to be mindful that he's compromised due to his connections with Lebedev. Macron's fed up with the tubthumping, sabre rattling and lack of any coherent policy that leads Boris to blame the EU for everything. Everyone else knows that Boris will sign anything, no matter how detrimental to the UK, if it gives him a decent photo-op. Johnson is just a clown. A clown who other countries exploit the vanity of.

But is that one of those events where the public pay to go to a dinner and have a footballer sit at their table and talk to them?

I'd forgotten about that. Didn't we end up with something weird like Russell Martin as club captain and Bassong as captain?

I think the fact that he was a free agent for 18 months after being released at the age of 30/31 speaks volumes. It wasn't just our club that had a dim view of him.

Since leaving us at the age of 30 he managed a game for Peterborough and three games in Greece. Got the hump big time when Hughton left apparently.

cheeky bet might be coming good

Implosion

Seems messy. I was trying to read up on it, as the crux of the matter was the Supreme Court ruling on Mississippi being allowed to reduce abortion limits to 15 weeks. So the Supreme Court ruling appears to hand powers back to the individual states to decide, but that seems to trigger an even bigger can of worms.

No wonder Boris won't resign https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-61247737 "I am a bit disappointed. I thought Boris Johnson would be a good thing but he has turned out to be a bit of a bumbling buffoon." Linda Edgar may have a dim view of the prime minister but she says it is unlikely to stop her voting Conservative. Her message to the Westminster media is that everyone is fed up of hearing about parties in Downing Street.

If we're in purgatory, where are Ipswich Town? 😝
