    On the Greenwood debate, de Zerbi clearly feels quite strongly which may or may not endear him to fans. I think it’s a particularly tin-eared statement.

    “I have seen the statements from the fans, but I am here to save Tottenham from relegation, not to be a politician. I said it in Marseille and I will say it again in London: Mason is my footballing son. When the whole world was against him, he gave everything for me. If the board gives me the budget this summer, he is the very first player I am calling to bring here. The fans have to make a choice — do you want to survive in the Premier League and win, or do you want to complain about the past?”

    I think you may have fallen for a simple lampoon.

    What does appear to be true (April Fools can fuck off, it's so lame) is that according to La Gazzetta de Zerbi's contract gives him full control over all things football, including transfers. So if he does want to sign Greenwood there's no way of stopping him short of paying him up and fucking him off.

    Lets not gloss over it too quickly, we have got the perfect window here to crank out some comedy spoof statements before Noodle wakes up and Tricky starts drinking then round two of Justice, Petrostates & I kicks off for evening session.

    Oh fuck no. I have a strict rule of one round only. With at least a three month break before even considering getting involved again.

    I took the time to look at the Greenwood stuff. If that had been my daughter he wouldn't be playing football because he would have had a bullet in each knee.

    Never thought this place would take such a Gammony tinge with so many disappointing words crafted to back a sad point of unnecessary faux principle.

    If Greenwood came to Forest, that would be the end of my relationship with the club.

    Believing that a strong society should assert it's values over the court of public media opinion. Tick. Believing that polarising froth at the enterprise branding level shouldn't trump actual values, scrutiny, and redress. Tick. Believing in due process. Tick. Believing in tolerance, balance, fallibility, development, and redemption. Tick. Believing that collectively we need to agree the values that we live by, rather than the knee jerk opinion of the individual taking precedence. Tick.

    You got me. Classic gammon.

    To develop as a woke human being I need to be more knee jerk triggered frothing violent vigilanty. How could I have missed that?

    There's nothing woke about finding a young woman being sexually assaulted to be utterly awful. Being this damn pompous about the nuance of rape isnt a good hill to die on.

    The big problem I have with arguing this, is that stuff that you make up in your head. This isn't about rape - which as a societal value we all agree, uncontested, is a bad thing. I just think frothing vigilanty action on the basis of a social media post is also a bad thing. You don't.

    As usual you frame an argument to suit your fantasy no matter the weakness of the foundation.
    It remains a piss poor look.

    Unsurprisingly, Iraola is leaving Bournemouth at the end of the season. Hopefully big party after the last home game and then they sack off the final away game.

    Send off is the last home game, surely?

    Let's hope so and they are all massively hung over and don't give a shit.

    We might still be hungover from winning the Europa 4 days earlier.

    Let's hope we don't need anything from the last game. No me neither.
