    Who's doing it? I'm likely doing the Thursday and the Saturday, tonnes of good stuff to see. Thurs Douglas Dare Fickle Friends The Japanese House Odd Beholder Saturday Asgier Thomas Azier Tigercub and about 20 other bands I'm considering...so much music!

    14th June - Prem Fixtures released

    A BIT early perhaps, but I'm like a child at Christmas, can't wait. What will you look out for first?

    Football "banter" with plastic Prem fans

    So, it begins... At a social event last night and a fella I know relatively well (but not exactly best mates) sidles over with a smug grin and says "two easy wins for us next season then eh?" He has never spoken about football to me before, and I eventually figure out that he is a Man United...

    If Newcastle falter tomorrow...

    I can see us staying top for the duration. We are timing our sprint finish to perfection.

    Calm before the storm...

    Too quiet tonight. This is, as they say, it. Good luck everyone.

    IF all 3 were fully fit, who would be YOUR first choice left back for BHA for the run in?

    All 3 have their strengths and weaknesses, and I would say that - at their best - there isn't much between them. Gaetan Bong Seb Pocognoli Liam Rosenior Where does your vote go? And why?

    Best player in the Championship

    Nice to hear The Football Ramble giving it to Knocky, just ahead of Shelvey. Your thoughts? I think there's an argument to be made for Lewis Dunk, I genuinely think he'd be comfortable in a midtable Prem team now.

    Come on then, which TWO are going up autos?

    We're at an interesting moment in the race for the top 2. Brighton had a wobble but look to have recovered. Toon had a superb run of results against top teams but keep dropping points at home and according to their fans look "dead on their feet". Huddersfield meanwhile keep SQUEAKING 1-0...

    Player Ratings vs Derby

    Even more enjoyable than the Reading game IMO. Stockdale - N/A Bruno 7.5 - very lucky not to be booked Dunk 8 Uwe 8 Rosenior 9 - blimey. I don't remember him being THIS good?! Knocky 8.5 Stephens 8 Kayal 8.5 - vital return of the king. Lifts the whole team. Skalak 8.5 - the difference in...

    Rotherham A - those who went, player ratings please?

    As it says on the tin...

    Over yesterday already

    Genuinely. It was ONE ****ing game. That we lost narrowly. Against a very good side who needed the result more than us. ROLL ON SATURDAY VS FOREST. Come on lads. We go again.

    Win on Tuesday and we can start to dream?

    Too early? Also...we want Newcastle to beat Hudds a week today, I assume?
  13. Mellotron

    Which would you prefer; 3 points vs Newcastle or 3 points vs Reading?

    Is it more important to keep Reading down? Or would you rather the psychological boost of beating the Toon and possibly reclaiming top spot?

    Would anyone take 4 points from the Burton + Ipswich games?

    Well, anyone...? If offered now.

    Player Ratings vs Brentford

    Very tough game to rate, and think we'll see quite a variety in this thread... === Stockdale 7.5 - good pen save, would have to see other goals again to really see if at fault at all. Bruno 7 - dreadful start but then kicked on and involved in a lot of good stuff with Knocky in 2nd half...

    Leeds or Reading

    Simple - who do you think is the bigger threat to the current top 2?

    Decision time on Murray - Confirmed

    It's been agreed that years of exposure to loud engines and subsequent age-related hearing problems have led to Murray losing hearing in both ears. Poor old MW, great commentator for so many years.

    Our run in

    I don't want to be another to say "We're already up", or any other nonsense like that, but it really feels like the footballing powers are smiling down on us this season. On getting the fixture list pre-season, I remember seeing Norwich and Aston Villa comprising our final 2 away games, and...

    Anywhere I can watch AFCON 2017 highlights?

    1. Yes, I've googled it - seems to be mostly dead ends, or links to dodgy sites/youtube fakes. 2. No, I don't have Eurosport. 3. Is anywhere showing highlights packages?

    HYPOTHETICAL - Chinese club come in with £25m bid for Knocky this window - SELL or KEEP?

    It's a heartwrencher, I know - but Chinese clubs are absolutely SPRAYING the money around at the moment (£127m bid for Aubameyang?) So, if a Chinese club came in with a silly money bid for Knockaert, would you still say keep?
