From the comments section on The Athletic. Notts Forest “we only love Derby” supporter, saying they don’t care about us, but here they are droning on about us again.

It was the Leicester fan droning on in that childish exchange

"What they did this summer

Coady has been to the past two major tournaments. He was in the England squad for the 2022 Qatar World Cup and spent this summer in Germany, although with a very different role as a pundit for the BBC. Coady is forging an impressive career in the media and has become a regular on the radio and television as a co-commentator and analyst. Before that he joined his teammates on a three-day poolside holiday courtesy of the chairman, Aiyawatt “Top” Srivaddhanaprabha, to celebrate their top-flight return as the party carried on after the club had an open-top bus parade through the city on the Sunday after the final match."

 

Wow top notch analysis.

 

 

Although this graphic sums up Top and Rudkin's stewardship nicely

 

 

 

Headline from the coming season post mortem will be something like 'we have shown upwards trajectory, finishing higher in the pyramid than last year'

 

Sorry it won't as they don't publish anything

A welcome distraction - the upshot podcast has released a Jamie Vardy episode today. They're normally pretty good, can't vouch for this one as WFH today so no commute to listen on

I've listened to 30 mins now and yeh that's a pretty stupid error, albeit they correct it shortly after...

Love the image of him settling down to a glass of fine skittles vodka of an evening

I would love it... but with potentially two points penalties hanging over us I fear it might be too much. Especially having lost our manager and best player as well. 

I think the problem with the points deduction is that it's easy to get sucked into thinking that we'll be chasing it all season.  But we have the second easiest start in the league, if we can capitalize on that, the points deduction could effectively be wiped out in no time at all.

 

Last season, after 7 games, there were 7 teams who had only averaged a point a game - say we get docked 6 points and get 1.5 points per game in that period, we'd be on 4/5 points which would have been good enough to be in 16th place.  After 10 games, assuming the same points per game, we'd still be just a point behind forest in 16th.  1.5 points per game isn't a huge ask - but certainly it's more in our own hands than people are inclined to believe  - and with possible deductions lingering over other clubs, we might not be the only club making up ground.

 

At the end of the day, we only need to do better than 3 other teams - and as big as the step up is from EFL to PL, there're still a number of bang average teams in the bottom half.

They have each received a football banning order of between three and five years which prevents them attending any regulated football match in the UK and also prevents overseas travel when the team they support, or the national team, are playing in a different country.

Some of the men have also been banned from entering areas in Leicester on matchdays both before and after the game.

mad that

A saw about 3 groups of about 5 West Ham fans acting like drunk tossers on the way out trying to start stuff then heard about the fight outside Mecca bingo.

 

I hope the Leicester fans banned were also looking for it too and wasn’t just defending themselves from the West Ham fans clearly trying to start trouble!

That feels generous

[Ted Maul]

Here's a collector's item... a Forest post insisting that they absolutely do not care about Leicester... with the majority of replies arguing that there is (or certainly was) a rivalry.

I love the Upshot pod but the Vardy episode was properly crap, half of it was about Wagatha Christie. Today's about Arsenal's 90s lot was Susan perb.

Yeh agree 100% was meaning to come back and post to that effect.

Did make me question  the accuracy of the other ones as quite a few facts were off given we know the subject matter better than other episodes.

But tis mainly tittle tattle I guess, just a shame this one was particularly poor

Aha yeah man, they mixed up Frank and Scott Sinclair on the John Terry episode, unless Scott was having a bender at Heathrow when he was 12 it's a bit off. Still a fun pod

That Craig Flint has been banned and should still be in prison but is out and about and seen at games recently.

Hate to be pedantic but didn't Coventry win the EFL Trophy and League 1? 

 

I was almost about to point out Derby and Forest haven't won anyway and would have been better examples for Parimatch to use but I forgot about the Brian Clough Trophy.
