Pendantic points of order. They are independent Nottinghamshire County Councillors, not from the city. I think the city all looks the same to them.
The bit of Toton they're talking about is almost at the A52, so close to a dual carriageway.
But still a shit idea. Miles from anywhere unless you fancy Bardill's Garden Centre cafe for a pre-match pint.
There used to be a pub just across the island towards stabo. I used to meet a mate there when I was playing him at snooker.
Been turned into houses in the last few years.
It's quite a wasteland round there now.
Seems we were one of ten clubs to sink the premier league/efl deal. Seems shortsighted.
Maybe we didn't think it was good enough and that the amounts should be increased (and we thought that a football regulator will do that).
I don't normally give much of a crap about smirking online journos having a dig, but this one seems to have got under my skin a little. He's not wrong about Forest, but he's still a bit cunty about it, and the noise from the club and fans must be getting rather Scouse-esque for the whinging about refs.
The Scousers are again claiming conspiracy from the weekend after their defensive how-dare-yous from the week before.
It’s more sad than annoying because he’s pretty much nailed it.
Loved to hated in less than a season is quite an achievement.
A little bit from column A, a little bit from column B, for me. but then I am happy to exist in the grey areas of arguments without having to polarise them. Yes we look quite cunty...but no you can't divorce poor decisions, from sub-optimal performance. They don't even themselves up over the course of a season, and it's not a level playing field by design (interesting that now new oil money has come into the game P&S rules are set to change to allow it to be spent - no doubt a ground up movement not at all sponsored and paid for, on the day that seeding for the knock out stages of the european league is announced - keep those established and rich clubs where they need to be. Safe from jeopardy.). Yes we look like one of the three worst teams, but largely only because of the points that have been cost by poor decisions (in a game of fine margins, where goals are lumpy statistical anomalies, don't underestimate the attritional impact of a small percentage bias in officiating). Even if you distil the argument down based purely on the numbers we are not one of the worst three teams, before you factor in impact of decisions and the eye test.
I can't say that I'm bowled over by what we currently are, but then neither am I delighted by what the top flight of english football, and the professional game in general, is. The laws and their interpretation (and the officiating framework that deploys them) are crap, and the impact of financial doping to maintain an established hierarchy has destroyed competition within the pyramid. My view would be that football's popularity is largely marketed on the promise of what it was, and the reality is somewhat different. Clubs have a tough choice in this framework - know your place, or be cheating cunts.
For me, it comes from the top.
Since the final whistle at Wembley, the behaviour of our owner and his son has been pretty embarrassing.
Mistake after crass decision after mistake after crass decision.
Last year we could laugh at it, it was a fun ride, (30 signings, who gives a fcuk). This year, we're being found out.
One of the things I loved under Cloughie was we were almost everyone's second team. WMD systemically destroyed any goodwill that was still hanging around. SSC restored it. The owner has wrecked it again.
We can (and are) hiding behind some absolutely terrible refereeing/VAR decisions, but the truth is we're not a very good side - not clinical enough going forward, woeful at set pieces in both boxes, myriad sub-standard goalkeepers, bloated squad...
This is very true I think and more and more people I talk to are, whilst still interested, become less so. Internationally that probably isn't the case. Essentially the super league is being created without all the hoohaa of actually creating one.
but but but we're tougher to beat, which is apparently important to people, if you are happy to ignore the fact we are still getting beat. So now not only are we getting beat but we're also having a really shit time. Which is nice.
Football privatisation has essentially followed the model of other privatisations. You lose control over what it is, you pay more, you get less.
If 'fans' are really important to football clubs, why is the competition being destroyed, games being played in remote locations at stupid times, and prices escalating?
Spoiler: They aren't - only money and power matters.
And we score more goals, except for the last few games when we've drawn a blank.
But we've played top teams, we will be fine in next run of games when we play the shit teams.
Just another normal day in an entirely normal season for an entirely normal football club.
Sis incests Hwang's Wang is a picture.
Come on headline writers, up your game.
So now I understand what they finally meant when they sang "Everybody Hwang Chung tonight !"
Took me over 35 years to figure it out.
I understand quickly when it's very slowly explained to me..
Why has this not been shut down yet?
www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-68559597.amp
"Toton already has the infrastructure including a tram stop and railway station."
Done this before but capacity of a tram is about 200: www.thetrams.co.uk/net/trams/#:~:text=The%20top%20speed%20is%2050mph,62%20seated%20and%20129%20standing.
So if you wanted to get half of 50,000 out by tram and you could get a tram every 2 minutes (you can't), it would take 2 hours.
Is the railway station Attenborough? I've only been through it but it's tiny isn't it? And, now I know where the stadium would be, a good two miles away.
So you are talking about tens of thousands of cars all leaving on the A52 and the vast majority of them going East.
