Yep why tomorrow will be no gimme we have to treat it like the cup final it is.

Maybe not squad but 1996 Brian Little got us to 4th in the League before that got Champions League qualification. Won the League Cup and lost an FA Cup Semi Final all in the same season!! Anyway Bruce schooling MON tonight is mildly amusing.

Spurs v City game is shite City playing their B Team!

They have released another 1100 tickets. Spoke to the ticket office they have started selling again from the window they sold out at from 1st allocation. So I have to wait till tomorrow being a season ticket holder. General Sale from the 15th.

annoying I wanted 3 for this!

pretty much yep! or get 0% credit card. Thought the club would have had a replacement for Zebra by now.

yep I get it it's annoying the scum will gain 6 points!!

Yes but if they go bust all results are wiped out meaning teams they have beat get points back I believe? Could be bad news for us.

What about salaries being reduced to 1K a week with the rest being made up from sponsorship deals. The player is no worse off and the clubs overhead shrinks. Sponsorship deals can be made up companies under another umbrella company by the owners.

liverpool have had as much luck as the baggies this season they might just fluke the title. City look miles better though so still expect them to get the job done.

Great reception for both players good to see.

decent wingers like Zaha get chopped down and know how to make the most of contact I would assume?

not as imperious as against Boro but still quality. Keep it up young man

The Goal difference with a points deduction is an interesting one. As they got deducted 9 points but kept their goal difference it's like an extra point so in essence an 8 point deduction. Surely it should be 9 points and minus 9 goals to at least give the teams below a fighting chance.

funny how the best player on the pitch is from Villa!

lucky I renewed already but this is not good for football in general will mean a lot less season ticket holders.

nice you just cannot beat a round badge take note Villa!

Don't forget Tommy who was playing well until his injury.

Away or 3rd shirts being funky is fine.

The Jocks have 2 chances to get to the Euros even if they finish bottom of their group they still get in the play offs to qualify as won their Nations League Group. Hopefully they have sacked McCleish and brought in someone more forward thinking by then. Steve Clarke maybe? Anyway SJM should be fit and raring to prove his detractors wrong on Saturday. He knows he has the love when he plays in Claret and Blue.

Jack has played at a higher level too seem to recall him running the show against Liverpool at Wembley against a midfield with Coutinho Henderson and Gerrard maybe Emre Cann too. Think he was only 19/20 at the time. The evidence is there for anyone to see that the boy is gravy. Has potential to go up another few levels too.

it's all a load of bollocks really the big boys should be able to spend what they like as long as the club is not saddled with the debt. The owners should sanction the spend from their own company and the club should make money from tickets and TV income and so on. If the 2 are separated I don't see an issue. If dodgy owners gamble the clubs income then fair enough.

I think we need to be careful here. Now I would piss my pants if they got a 12 point deduction next season but it will set a precedent in which all over clubs will be fined for breaching FFP. Now I think b-lose have taken the piss a little further than other clubs but signing a player whilst under embargo and showing no signs of wanting to sell Adam's in Jan when they could have reduced some debt. I think hypothetically the 12 points will be split between breaching FFP say 9 for that and 3 for signing a player when under embargo. It's the first deduction that applies to us and I would assume Forest as they have spent big this season. What will happen is the 39 million will be raised to around £50 million over 3 seasons as wages have gone up since this was introduced once this enquiry is concluded. Got the popcorn out and just waiting now.

might be the camera angle but I would not like falling off the edge of that pitch rolling down the slope and injuring myself if I was a multi million pound footballer!
