Apologies to our American fans but I find American English very hard to understand at times.
"currently offloaded" I guess means unavailable but it's such a strange way of saying it. Just say unavailable.
I remember having a large group zoom meeting a couple of years ago with an English lad (early-to-mid twenties) describing the end-to-end process of digital music delivery. I'm not being facetious but when it ended I had to ask someone for a translation. I had absolutely no idea what he was talking about such was the terminology/language used.
An injury update ⚠️ As we head into the final six fixtures of the 2024/25 season, the club would like to provide an injury update. All timelines are subject to players continuing on their current rehabilitation paths. Rayan Kolli has returned to full training and is available for selection. Michael Frey is making good progress and is targeting rejoining the group towards the end of this week. Steve Cook is currently offloaded due to an ongoing foot injury. Ilias Chair is now into his third week of pitch-based activity and is progressing well. He is expected to rejoin group training next week. Alfie Lloyd is undergoing follow-up tests after sustaining an injury against Cardiff City at the weekend. Žan Celar is into his fourth week of pitch-based rehabilitation while Jake Clarke-Salter and Harvey Vale are anticipated to start their on-pitch activities later this month.
Upon leaving the stands and going down the stairs, as I had my hand on the bannister, a lady put her hand on the bannister at the same time and our hands momentarily touched. That was the most exciting thing that happened all afternoon.
Well, yeah lol! I thought they'd be around mid-table so something has gone a tad wrong. However, the point is they have money to get the new stadium underway which is really what their priority has to be. I don't know the full finances but I wouldn't be surprised if the PL money covered a lot more of the new stadium costs than if they hadn't been in the PL or had blown all the money on players which means they won't be held back for years to come. If they can get decent crowds they'll be able to compete better for signings especially with the lure of a spanky new stadium compared to Kenilworth Road.
I read recently that Luton said they might have been able to stay up if they spent more money on players. So, that means more money gone from the club, who are trying to build a new stadium, and into the pockets of players and agents for what?...... another season where all the money goes into the players and agents.
If you take away the meaningless 4 point deduction for Forest (which didn't affect their final position of 4th bottom at all) then Luton, who finished on 26 points, would have needed to gain another 11 points (40% more than their entire seasons accomplishment) in order to stay up.
Nah, they did the right thing. Bank as much as possible in order to reinvest into the infrastructure and future stability of the club.
We’re not safe but I think we’ll just about be Ok 🙏
I’m sure someone said Cardiff have four winnable games but looking at their fixtures I just can’t see it. Besides, with 9 wins all season I can’t see them suddenly picking up four in six.
Even if they do, they’ll possibly be taking points from the likes of Stoke and Oxford so that helps us and if they don’t win those games that also helps us…. win win.
Wells was a successful loanee so has no point to prove. I believe QPR wanted to make it permanent but Bristol simply out muscled us financially. Dickie was doing well and a club came in and bought him, he also has no point to prove IMO Armstrong was also bought by the same club, probably on the basis of potential, and hopefully still likes us enough to not have any need or desire to prove anything
I’d take another 0-0 here and now but it’s going to be a tougher game than Cardiff
I was row B lower Loft and had the closest opportunity to stay and clap them. Final whistle and got up and left. Always willing to applaud the team but not today.
Just In Hammersmith Park…. Two poor teams each scared to lose and offered little going forward. My son’s first draw that he’s seen live after nearly ten games. Haven’t read any of the match thread yet but they went down at every slightest touch and the ref bought it every time.
Bristol next week is going to be tough so we have to get something, even if a draw, at Oxford
IIRC Heider was offside but the flag didn't go up so would have been wonderful in so many ways (payback for 2003 for one) as it would have guaranteed promotion that day.
If Leeds don't go up and Wrexham get promoted, it'll get even worse with KO times across the season as Sky Sports will re-brand itself to "Sky Sports Leeds-Wrexham" and w@nk themselves vigorously into the next universe.
Jose Mourinho of course should not have done it but that was an embarrassing reaction. I get worse treatment from my kids and don't react like that.
I think this is now Jose Mourinho's MO..... get a decent high profile gig, all goes well and lots of fanfare to begin with but when things start going south, time to get himself sacked and a nice pay-off. As said on another thread, he's been paid more in contract payouts from being sacked than the actual time worked.
I certainly don't want us to ever go down from any division we're in but I'm at a point in my life where I think to myself "how will it affect me in terms of my finances, my job, my family, my life etc if the club gets relegated?"
In short.... nothing. It will have no detrimental affect to my life whatsoever, the cost of the going to a game in the Championship will probably be pretty much the same as in L1. Ticket price may change slightly but petrol/train fares, food & drink etc won't as that is outside of the clubs control.
Yet we all invest (which ultimately what club owners rely on) massive amounts of exhaustive emotion to keep on following the club.
I'm not saying we shouldn't care, of course we should, but I do worry about people at times.
A stonking game and one of the standout games of the season in a season with a lot of standout games. It was only the end of November but it was a crucial win that really defined the rest of the season, we never dropped from 1st.
