Once a dirty dingle, always a dirty dingle.

I remember being on the side at the Baseball ground Derby, when I heard a chant of Foreston Rovers. I wondered who they were, then I realised it was Forest and Rovers. It will be the same last game of their season.

Ding dongs getting a thumping, what a great week-end.

Rovers stay up and Burnley now all but relegated with Forest also winning. They should be confirmed as down next weekend away at Spurs

Will be very interesting what happens with Burnley in the summer, whether Kompany stays or not.

You have to think they're in massive financial trouble too - spent £110m on shite after spending £40m the year before. They won't get their money back for any of those players.

As I said on another thread - they have a truly massive squad that must be costing an absolute fortune. Last time they had a couple of good players to sell to balance the books. I can’t see there being many clubs rushing to chuck big money at their existing squad.

Hopefully it'll be their undoing and they plummet back down to their rightful place in the lower half of the fourth division.

I could see Trafford being a number 2 to someone in the premier league.

Maybe but would they even get their money back on him ?

I can't remember who it was but it was said on the radio when driving home from Leicester that a clause in Trafford's contract was that he had to play in 75% of the games. If that is true it reflects awfully on whoever agreed to it.

It is true. Someone at my work, who's a Burnley fan, said they should have introduced him slowly instead of thrown him straight in. He's never played top flight football till this season

He has to play in 75% of games... or what? His contract becomes void?

It wasn't said. That was the first I'd heard of it.

Probably he gets a financial payout from the club and/or he will have a low release clause become active

Never mind top tier football, he'd never even played 2nd tier football.

I don't think there would be many queueing up to activate it

Apparently Liverpool want him as back up to Allison because Kelleher wants to leave. 

God knows what they have been watching all season if that is true, maybe we should send them a video of Wahlstedt?

Fuck that, give them both.

Buy one get one free.

I always like it when Man U get a good shoeing. 

They got absolutely thumped. 

Casemiro at the back did not work.

Who decided to pay all that money for Antony. He is shocking.  

[RoverDom]

Mateta doing wonders for my fantasy team at the moment 

[rock steady]

Surprised to see Casemiro just turned 32. 

Played out of position tonight, which didn't help, but looked closer to 42.
