Was torn between West ham away and Spurs away, went for the Spurs away goal. His goal at Spurs is an absolute stunner. Probably go for that. Strangely, if it was based purely on emotion, I'd actually have gone for his winner v Palace over Blackburn or Wigan. Never celebrated a goal like it on the T...

Still seems weird that Carlo Ancelotti managed Everton.

NottsClaret

Mad that everyone who has played and watched football, from us chumps to the pros in the studio, knows it should never be a penalty but that it was 100% a penalty.

The decision to give Casemiro a free kick when he was lucky to stay on the pitch was probably worse.

NottsClaret

It’ll happen eventually. Football only really cares about money. If a women comes along who can get you results - and more cash - then they’ll get offers.

Jesse Lingard released by Forest and available on a free.

I'd guess it'll be someone like QPR or Birmingham next for him.

NottsClaret

I guess City will win both games and the treble, probably playing some utterly brilliant football along the way. And absolutely nobody will give a toss.

It'll be as enthralling as Celtic winning a domestic treble.

NottsClaret

To follow on from this, the only thing you shouldn't ignore is a court summons, that's when people get into trouble, i.e. not turning up for court and having a CCJ issued due to their absence. As I said before, even if you turn up and lose, which you rarely will if you're prepared (judges often don...

And you seemed so pleased this morning CT that you were going to be able to watch it for free

I watched it for free and felt short-changed.

NottsClaret

Great story and well done Agent Claret.

NottsClaret

It won't go away, though. It doesn't matter what barriers are put in place, tech will always find a way. The cat is out of the bag, and it's time the industry caught up. Like I said, people had largely stopped paying for music because they could get it for free from the likes of Kazaa or torrents. ...

NottsClaret

It’s illegal but not unwise.

NottsClaret

Just two players kicking each other by accident. Not a penalty, play on. Sending off was a bit harsh.

NottsClaret

Watched it in deepest South Yorkshire.. very entertaining. Barnsley fans took it well, Wednesday fans obviously delighted. Barnsley deserved more on the day but over the season it’s probably fair. I reckon Duff will take them up next year, some right basket cases gone down from the Championship.

NottsClaret

They’d have been better off with Warnock, he’s actually still got it.

I occasionally ref their reserves

It’s a great little club isn’t it? Churned out some top players too.

NottsClaret

Really good achievement that from Dyche, pleased for him. But Everton being Everton, they’ll sack him, look for a bigger ‘name’ and be back here again next season.

NottsClaret

A 13 year old me is strangely happy about Stockport losing there.

NottsClaret

I think there’s loads go on non-league when not at the Turf. Penistone Church for me, really enjoy it. Got into it during Covid when they were allowed to play on and go quite a bit now.

NottsClaret

It drained me. I remember after the game at the end of Wembley Way the police were holding back hundreds of Burnley Fans. I looked around and nearly everyone was really quite quiet. A copper said, what's wrong with you lot you would think you had just lost. Pretty sure everyone was exhausted physic...

NottsClaret

Enjoyed the whole day until Wade scored, then hated every second until the final whistle. I did feel for those fans there today when it went to pens.

I'd rather have grounds like Kenilworth Road in the Prem than bowls like the King Power and Coventry's.

100%. Plus their playing style will cause a few problems, good to have some variety in the top flight.

NottsClaret

Luton are really good at what they do.

NottsClaret

Seemed to fall over whilst backpedaling. Was conscious, so presumably a leg injury rather than something more sinister. Hope he’s ok. That’s what I thought, could be a nasty ankle or ACL thing. We get so used to players rolling around you forget that when you’re seriously hurt you just lie still. A...

NottsClaret

There’s a lot of Wednesday support in areas that fall under Barnsley. Always been a huge club round here.

NottsClaret

Not surprised by Wednesday, could probably sell loads more. Good effort from Barnsley too, it’s not a cheap day out.

At the risk of becoming one of those attendance weirdos, it shows how great Burnley’s support is from a small town.

NottsClaret

This forum comes into its own in summer. Feels like the football kills the vibe a bit.

NottsClaret

Isn’t our whole thing being a successful small club? Being a ‘big’ club is something for fans of failing teams to fall back on.

NottsClaret

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, it's possible he just doesn't understand averages.

After the comments made by Pep yesterday, they would be crazy to appoint anyone other than De Zerbi. He was very full in his praise and admiration.

Isn't that just because they're playing them next? He always does that, even if it's Bristol City in the cup for something.

NottsClaret

I guess the problem City have is that as they tend to win every trophy going, the pool of 'winners' elsewhere is getting smaller. Must be tough.

Remind me, where did he put the ball again?

Also, it's the only name I think of with that song, although we try to shoehorn others into it. Always going to be 'Super Scotty Arfield'.

Bit like 'Jimmy Mullen' is the only rightful owner of the 'Claret and Blue army'.

NottsClaret

Quite the career he's had since being released by Huddersfield Town.

NottsClaret

He got more appearances this season for Birmingham than he did in any season for us in 12 years. And he only joined them in January.

NottsClaret

There'll be some accountant in Saudi now trying to work out how to get signing Mbappe through the FFP regulations.

NottsClaret

I think there's a good argument for picking the Blackburn performance on merit, and not just because it was them. As has been said, they were also going top with a win and we'd been battered the week before. Pressure, expectant crowd, Jay Rod injured.. there's a lot could have gone wrong there. But ...

NottsClaret

City are the best side in the world, have taken their (Pep's) style of football to a precision engineered art form and the whole thing leaves me entirely cold. Can't say I dislike them at all. The players seems nice enough chaps. Their fans are either once long-suffering types or harmless tourists. ...

NottsClaret

Muric is excellent. Full stop. Will be sold for twice what Pope was. If you want to play as we do it is more important to be a ball player than an amazing shot stopper. Just rewatch the Coty game to see how it doesn’t work without a sweeper keeper. It is why the likes of Hart and Pope will never be...

NottsClaret

Exactly my choice too. 34 years after I first heard it, I still get goosebumps when I hear that opening bassline I know what you mean, bit of a cliche picking the Roses but still takes me back to being a teenager every time I hear it rumbling in. Other openers which set the tone, maybe Turn the Pag...

NottsClaret

The Barnsley v Wednesday game at Oakwell was one of the games of the season, hopefully the final is similar. Bolton were absolutely awful tonight. Like they were playing for penalties but didn’t realise they were losing.

NottsClaret

So many reasons to back Barnsley over Bolton tonight. Duff, best away end in the country, proper old school club and makes for a great final v Wednesday. And that’s before we even get to reasons we want Bolton to lose.

NottsClaret

Strange move, Norwich will be a car crash of a club next season. Not convinced with Wagner at all, he'll be gone by end of November. I reckon he'll have signed the best deal for him and his family at this stage, it's not like his career is going to top the heights he's hit already. Decent money for...

NottsClaret

Fantastic effort that, really pleased for them. Hillsborough was back to its old self last night.

NottsClaret

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.

NottsClaret

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...

NottsClaret

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...
