Mooching about on a whim I found the video below. 10 years ago almost to the day (2nd April in fact) - Bromley winning at home to Lincoln in front of 1200. That very day saw Leicester 4 points clear at the top of the Prem, with a game in hand. Of course, they went on to famously win it, while Bromley and Lincoln ended up next to each other mid table in the National League. Fast forward 10 years and the best Leics can now hope for is playing Lincoln in the Championship next year. If they do drop then they'll almost certainly be playing Bromley in league 1. Goes to show. Well summat anyhow.

Britian and the USA - we had to agree it

This is just, well, weird Gamblers trying to win a bet on Polymarket are vowing to kill me if I don't rewrite an Iran missile story | The Times of Israel

Fiver would be quite mild, tenner a bit raunchy, £20 pure filth...and as for the £50 quid note - well put it this way, nobody would ever spend it! Up until 1960 we didn't even have the monarch on any notes.

To be fair to whoever it was, the simple phrase "fuck my boots" sums up where most football fans have found themselves, at one time or another, brilliantly 😄

yeh, let Lincoln thump them. that would be two defeats in 3 games for the taffs. An unexpected defeat before we play them then means a win for us really gets their daffodils wilting

Last year in the Championship, going in to the last day of games Sheff U were 13 points ahead of the team (Sunderland) who actually went up. You can debate how fair that is - but "tough" is I guess a not unreasonable respone. However, at that point Boro were 25 points behind and would have made the new playoffs had they won their last game. I think it's fair to say getting the chance to pip a team you are 25 points behind after 45 games is a bit rich?

Trigger happy

If so, then all the more reason to go up given that Wednesday will build (assuming a new owner comes in with enough readies to avoid further points deduction next year) and Blackburn staying up means at least one of Leics or WBA will come down. Maybe both, as Oxford finally found a win last game. Potentially bloody powerful three in L1 then, in a way I doubt Blackburn would be.

did she volunteer to open up any new pork markets for you?

Is this a leaked email from the Epstein files?

Can't remember as much as I'd like about Besiktas, but that's because, like many there, I was cunted! Torquay wanky cup final. Wasn't even bladdered, but very little recollection. Wish I could remember more about the Blackburn promotion game, but it was a long time ago! Main thing I can recall, as I was on the side terracing, was looking at our away end and thinking I'd never seen any one as packed out. Heaving.

He's had three insurance claims already for "accidental" fires that took out his back catalogue. That one in the Parbold massage parlour, the infamous Westhoughton library event and "The Tate". Not the "Tate Modern" in the Smoke, but "The Tate Arms" boozer next to an abattoir in Solihull . He was on a signing event, but as his car had run out of petrol when a badger strike ruptured his tank, he'd turned up with two jerry cans of petrol. Not his fault it was bonfire night, as his solicitors (Blaggit & Runne, working out of the old ticket office of a condemed Bingo Hall in Tamworth) helpfully pointed out to the jury. House on the other side lost a substantial bit of woodwork and he asked for four other fences to be taken into consideration.

I assumed it was one of these. Be fucking great, 'cept I doubt I could afford a longship in a dramatic fyord. Be a pedalo off Ainsdale beach.

We're going up - beating Bradford at Wembley. I can feel it in my water.

Fucking hell Ted. Shame on you. Here's what you could have won

Swansea?

Nuneaton?

knowing him it's probably bloody Mansfield again!

Mate at work is a big Forest fan - as is his dad, who says that when he started going, presumably early to mid 60s, it was quite common for people to have two season tickets, to Forest and Notts.

Yes, or the Filth v Leeds Blackburn Burnley I get. Palace Brighton seems a bit soft/contrived? But I don't know the history.

Raw hatred I think

Following on from a chat at work, just wondering what the biggest five derbies are that don't involve teams from the same town or city? Obviously if you have a city like Sheffield, with two teams in it, then that makes for a derby rivalry. Liverpool, Manc, Brum, shed-load of London etc. But summat between areas that are close (ish) enough to genuinely classify it as a "local" derby and not just a long term rivalry between good teams. So obvious contenders Newcastle v Sunderland, Norwich v Ipswich, left-field choice Chesterfield v Mansfield (two towns who hate each other post miners strike) etc etc Top 5 suggestions? For me, first might be Pompey v Southampton. I lived in Soton for a while and remember a football conversation in a boozer with a Soton fan. Really pleasant, so when I brought up the Barry Horne goal he admitted they were lucky. Happy to give credit where credit was due to all sorts and admit their limitations as a club/history etc etc. Epitome of a mild mannered, thoughtful and knowledgably fair minded football fan who could keep perspective on everything. But then I made the mistake of mentioning Pompey. In a trice he transformed into rage, quite literally foaming at the mouth with spittle flecking his chops. I say that Pompey v Soton "might" be first, though someone could convince me otherwise. If we make if EFL then Cardiff v Swansea comes into it. Thoughts for a top five?

As long as I go after Barry Knight, and thus get a chance to piss on his grave, I'm not fussed. Feed me to the pigs, collect their shite and then drop it from a light aircraft over Molyneux.

At the time it was the joint biggest ever club winning margin at Wembley - along with City beating WBA 6-1 and Forest beating Ipswich 5-0 (both in Charity Shield) and a certain other one, the details of which escape me...
