Thread | The dark arts
at 09:58 16 Mar 2025
It's been mentioned before that we've got nowhere near the right levels of gamesmanship for this level. I thought KP yesterday was a prime example.
The incident in the first half where he either damaged his boot or hurt his toe, and tried to stay on the pitch to have it seen to. It baffled me as to why, when the referee was urging him to get off the pitch, he didn't just decide that he'd hurt his ankle as well, couldn't walk/stand, and go to ground. |

Thread | A small observation in JP's defence
at 09:49 16 Mar 2025
His lack of output probably wasn't helped by him not getting the ball in decent positions.
I noticed a number of times, when Woolfie was trying to invite the non-existent press, when JP was wide open on the wing and screaming for the ball. He never got it though.
It baffles me why we're neglecting an element of our play (the swift ball out to the advanced wide positions) that has been so instrumental in our performances in L1/Champ. |

Thread | Mobile phone reception
at 16:32 14 Mar 2025
Is it just my own experience, or does it seem that mobile phone coverage has seemingly regressed in recent months/years? I sometimes find myself struggling to connect to the internet on either of my sims (O2 and Vodafone) in town/city centres, and call quality seems to be pretty poor in areas where it had never been a problem.
Just me and my phone, or a more widespread occurrence? |

Thread | These Ed Panini stickers
at 12:22 12 Mar 2025
Club seem to be going hard on the line that the only way to guarantee getting hold of one is to purchase a programme.
Funny they should be struggling to shift programmes - almost as if they scrapped a fantastic initiative for no good reason earlier in the season. |

Thread | USB-C hubs
at 17:32 6 Mar 2025
Can anyone recommend me a decent USB hub with more than one USB-C port?
Most of the ones I've seen so far only have the one USB-C port, and plug in to a USB-C port as well, meaning there's no net gain in the number of ports.
Pretty frustrating when my laptop only has the one USB-C to start with... |

Thread | Frasers+ - WTF?!
at 09:55 4 Mar 2025
Just popped into Sports Direct to get a new pair of walking trainers; saw that the pair I liked was £90, or £52 with Frasers+.
I assumed that this was some sort of 'members pricing' deal, and had a further look. Apparently it's nothing more than getting the item for significantly less if you choose to use their 'pay in instalments' option.
Given that there's no interest to pay if you pay in three installments, surely this is banking on people not following the rules, and being able to sting them with extortionate interest rates?
Member pricing is one thing, but this feels particularly heinous. |

Thread | Morsy leading the way
at 08:11 4 Mar 2025
Was very impressed with Morsy stepping up and taking the first penalty last night, especially having expected a more typical penalty-taker to do so.
The physical and technical game may be slowly leaving him behind, but he still stands out as an exceptional leader. |

Thread | Foundation on the shirt tonight
at 21:44 3 Mar 2025
Just noticed we've got the Foundation patch back on the bottom of the back of the shirts. Forest have got theirs too.
Assume it's a stupid, petty PL rule that we can't have the logo on the shirt in the league? |

Thread | Forest badge
at 20:08 3 Mar 2025
Random thought... Barring minor tweaks, Forest have had the same badge since 1974:
Are there any clubs that have been using their current badge for a longer period of time? [Post edited 3 Mar 20:09]

Aside from 2023 victors Manchester City, Ipswich are the most recent FA Cup winners (1978) left in this season's FA Cup. |

Thread | Germany divided (again)
at 21:05 24 Feb 2025
Looking over the results from yesterday's Bundestag election, I came across this rather striking map, illustrating which party won the party vote in each constituency:
All but two of the AFD's party vote wins came in the former east, with the only holdouts east of the old inner-German border being in Leipzig South, and the majority of former East Berlin, all of whom voted for Die Linke, and Potsdam who went CDU.
The two Western wins were in Gelsenkirchen and Kaiserslautern, both of which are experiencing the after-effects of post-industrial decline.
It all makes for rather interesting interpretation and analysis, especially with the former East having lurched from the Far Left to the Far Right in a little over thirty years. |

Doing 3.5 days in Budapest with Mrs Zx in April; in Wednesday 16th, out Saturday 19th. Any recommendations for things worth doing/places worth seeing?
I assume Good Friday may throw a small spanner in the works, given the fairly religious nature of that part of Europe? |

Just a minor thought I had, looking at their hoardings all over the North Stand yesterday...
Surely there are better names for a security firm, than to name it after a chap from antiquity who will forever be a byword for a catastrophic weak-spot? |

I'm loath to judge off one match, but Palmer seems to have been quite the acquisition.
Potentially a sliding doors moment for the season? |
