It’s weird that Wednesday are just the third best team in League One but the best two non-Burnley games I’ve seen this season have involved them.

Great fun tonight, hope they get Barnsley in the final.

The thing is, I thought there was a limit on how much cash owners could pump into a club as espoused by all the the FFP stuff. I (probably wrongly) assumed that whether you had a bottomless pit of cash or not, simply bank rolling the club to purchase success wasn't within the rules any more (as sho...

Doubt we'd get loads for him. If Coventry do go up, there's only going to be them interested in the Prem and they won't be throwing money around. Outside the Prem, I doubt anyone's paying over £4m. Still a great value buy for us, would be happy to have him back here as an option.

NottsClaret

We're sophisticated continental sorts now, it'll be us moaning about getting s**thoused off Coventry or Luton.

NottsClaret

They get giddy about every mid table Championship striker they have. Rhodes, Gestede, Armstrong, Dack, Diaz. All solid enough 2nd tier plodders but there’s a reason they’re playing there.

NottsClaret

Marvellous late 80s vibe for a Coventry v Luton final. Feels
like it should be played at the old Wembley.

NottsClaret

Always seem a bit contradictory these bans for gambling. Some very harsh punishments while the game is absolutely swimming in money from that industry.

NottsClaret

Absolutely love the Championship. Enjoyed all of it this season and will miss everything about it. Lack of VAR obviously is up there, competitive matches (Blackburn at home aside).. the food choice at Hull City. Maybe I'm a bit jaded after seeing us in the top flight a lot, which does sound ridiculo...

He may be a cult hero but I never took to Kevin Ball.

All about opinions, but you've blown my mind there Salisbury!

NottsClaret

Admittedly he was underwhelming, and certainly didn't endear himself to the crowd - particularly the Longside - but knowing what we know now, I think Paul Stewart should get some understanding.

The number of ‘No’s on here highlights the problem with democracy.

Barnes getting the 3rd at home to Blackburn, proper took the p**s there with the build up. It was great walking back up Tod Road after too.. we’ve beaten them loads recently but that was the real thrashing we’d waited for. Car horns blaring, everyone bouncing around, sun shining, even police having ...

NottsClaret

Brighton have been great to watch here, good response to that deserved hammering off Everton.

City will end up winning league by about 10 points after all that talk of a ‘race’.

NottsClaret

Entirely agree with you. If there's no jeopardy in a football match it isn't worth watching it let alone paying to watch it. I haven't watched a City game Live for about two years now and it will be a while yet! I said this a few weeks back. City are an unbelievable team, possibly the best in the w...

Marriott

Trippier
McGreal
Tarkowski

Little
Defour
Deary

Blake
Barnes

I had Conroy, then Payton.. Then ended up with Barnes because although it's terrible recency bias, I can't get THAT Blackburn performance out of my head.

NottsClaret

I can see Leeds getting a 1-0 Allardyce masterclass win here.

NottsClaret

He's done a lot of coaching since and is highly respected as an academy coach I never knew that, I know he's never dabbled in management again. And he kept on playing non-league for ages, still does a few charity matches even now. I always liked him, not as a manager obviously, but seems a decent g...

Wolves were rubbish and in div 4 for a bit until bull and mutch got them out of it.

Wolves are a good call, yeah they went even further down although they did have a fantastic time bouncing back again with Bull.

NottsClaret

At least he realised it wasn’t for him. Never even coached a team since.

NottsClaret

The season that started it all off really - it was the catalyst... We dared to dream and we actualised it! It's crazy what one season getting yourself over the line can do, it has a lasting effect IMO It definitely was. There’s been some fantastic mangers and players since those playoffs, but witho...

4-0 down after the first leg.. has a bigger club been this awful for this long?

NottsClaret

Complete denial on Rovers forums and twitter as well (variations on "over it already") Funny as anything because they will always remember that we won the league at Ewood, because winning the championship is the realistic high point of both our clubs ambitions They're not in good spirits. I wished ...

NottsClaret

Always speaks very well, which a lot of people do, but it probably reads better when you've just won the league with 101 points. Also, how funny is that image of us celebrating the title at Ewood? Still feels too far-fetched. Not sure I'd ever get over seeing those lot having a party on the Turf lik...

NottsClaret

Now we've been Football League champions four times, we must be catching up some of the 'big' clubs who'll only ever compete for the Prem these days.

NottsClaret

Same price as Ben Gibson..

NottsClaret

Encouraging to know he's a realist about VK. One lesson we should have learned from the Coyle saga is you always need to be planning ahead. You don't have to give up and sit in the corner sobbing when your latest 'messiah' leaves - then hire Brian Laws. Brighton just go and get a better manager. Swa...

NottsClaret

My honest opinion on this.. if it's 3am in some random's kitchen, live and let live, none of my business. If you need to partake in it on a Monday afternoon to watch the football, you probably need to have a look at yourself and accept you've a problem developing.

NottsClaret

Got to respect Diaz. Completely tossed it off since he got his move signed, costing them a play off spot. Then when it was all too late, decided to show them what they’ll be missing for half an hour. Hilarious.

NottsClaret

McNeil playing like peak Ryan Giggs here.

NottsClaret

I'd like them to miss out on promotion today, get relegated next season, then the season after too. Then end up in the National League. Then go into administration. Then be liquidated. Then I'll happily padlock the gates until the bulldozers come in and raze the whole place of misery to the ground. ...

NottsClaret

Like last summer, it’s also great news because of what it implies he’s been promised. Plus he’s a class manager, obvs.

That 60 second trailer has generated some quality content on here already, can’t wait for the full documentary.

NottsClaret

Hopefully they’ll be out of the football league a year from now.

NottsClaret

Been a great, solid servant to the club over the years and it will be emotional seeing him leave.

But it’s the moments you remember, and the last minute winner against Palace and ‘that’ performance against the B***ards will always be remembered. Legend.

City are an amazing, world class team but 90% of their matches are so boring as contests.

Medieval cosplay by a weird group of elderly, gout ridden billionaires.

NottsClaret

That was the dullest thing ever. A load of old, bored people looking depressed, playing a ludicrous game of ‘dress up’.

Probably a good day to suggest Stone Roses' 'Elizabeth My Dear' for this.

I still think of Ben Mee as our captain now and he's been gone a year.

I fancy Leeds to get something against City you know

So do I.. an absolute walloping.

NottsClaret

There's some bad players at Everton, and they'll miss Coleman's leadership. But I still think he'll keep them up, they'll win their last two and that will be enough.

Great song that, only got into his stuff quite recently.

Seems like a distant historical event for those of us who started in the 80s. Never really thought of it as even the same club as a kid, being told we were former champions of England while only seeing us lose to Colchester and the like in the basement division. Although it was closer in time to whe...

Just incredible how he has improved during the season, almost unplayable.

It really is. He showed flashes at the start but not completely convincing. There were times today he just looked like he was on a totally different level.

NottsClaret

Sheff Utd have had a great season and are rightly celebrating it and enjoying it tonight. Doesn’t diminish our amazing success at all. Same for the play off winners.

NottsClaret

The debate on a fair wage always seems to centre around those at the bottom. I'd be more interested in what we think is a fair return for CEOs and the like. I'm not sure people understand enough just how great the imbalance in wealth is.

NottsClaret

I still think they’ll stay up. At this stage, people understandably overreact to every result and say ‘that’s it, they’re gone’ but there’s 15 points to play for and they’re 2 points from safety.

NottsClaret

I reckon clubs will be under a bit of pressure this season to stop it after a few unsavoury incidents at the end of last season, but let's be realistic, there's going to be a pitch invasion.

NottsClaret

Decent player but we do need to address the lack of physicality in this side and he wouldn't do that. Newcastle's players look like a different species to our lads.

Sign him for the bants obviously though.
