    Back from Monaco. Well we turned up, pity the team didn't bother, what a disappointment. Never mind, through to the semi final of the FA cup, Denham Club site booked, will enjoy.

    Liverpool at home tomorrow, another must win, but probably won't win game.

    We enjoyed Monaco though, what a fantastic place.

    See Brian all you have to do is believe. An update on our injured player Jonathan Hogg, he's broken a bone in his neck but was discharged from hospital in Bristol yesterday to continue his recovery in West Yorkshire. 

    I knew I couldn't rely on Leeds to get a draw, their goal scorer was at it again! The points gap has narrowed again, game on. UTT

    We are still debating renewing our season tickets at Forest, getting fed up of the constant messes our idiot owner gets us into, I just know when all the season ticket holders have purchased their tickets, he will sell our best young players like he did last year with Oliver Burke after telling us he was not for sale. Added to that we are leaving Nottingham shortly, not going far but I am thinking is it all worth it. Brian Clough must be spinning

    Good to hear from you Pauline - hope you're both keeping well. Been a difficult season for your boys, but I'm rooting for them to finish above a certain team whose name I will not mention! (Smiley smiley)

    Both well Moulesy, if not a little stressed, if all goes well we should be moving to a house that is a short walk to Burton Albion's ground, buying a property with the daughter and her partner and my little grandson, we will have an annexe built. Will probably end up getting  our season tickets again, and may take in a game at the Pirelli Stadium.

    Off to Stamford tomorrow for a short break, aka Top Lodge

    Best wishes to you both

    Whether to renew our season tickets is a no brainer. The new prices are £199 adults and £79 for the grandson for seats anywhere in the stadium     

    Some good news about Jonathan Hogg, he hasn't broken his neck as first feared and should return to training on Sunday. On the other hand another of our players ruptured his ACL away on international duty with Slovenia. He's out for 10 months at least😫

    Pauline I really feel for you there are too many owners who don't seem interested in properly owning a football club and have no concept of what a club means to the fans.

    I'm going right off football, 70+% possession and we lose to a last minute goal. I guess I'll give it another go on Wednesday, must be daft.

    Touché Brian 😀

    I'm over the hissy fit now and looking forward the seeing the Terriers against the Canaries on Wednesday night under the lights.

    just keeping my fingers crossed for a decent referee (or is that an oxymoron)

    Other analgaesics are available. Great stuff this belief! The Terriers put in a great shift last night. Recorded their best league win this season, 3 goals without reply. We even had a good referee, he must be the only one on the Championship panel. I'll wager he'll be promoted to the Premiership next season. Now onto the Forest on Saturday . What do you reckon Pauline? UTT

    My teams are on a roll. I took my grandson to play for his school year five 7 a side team after school. They've been playing in a sort of mini tournament since September . I was chatting to his teacher before the first match who said that this would probably be the last matches the team would play this year. They needed to win their last two matches to progress to the next stage, and since they hadn't won any of their other matches is was a big ask. Blow me they went and won both matches 😃

    Strong stuff this belief⚽️⚽️

    I'm not biting Brian. A blip on the way is all that it is. Actually it's a bit worrying 3 losses out of the last 4 matches 😳

    Forest are obviously experiencing a new manager bounce, but we were not good today.

    Can we claim anything for the way Norwich responded to being beaten on Wednesday?

    He's a bit young to be signing for anybody at the moment Steve and I think he's more into his karate, mind that would be useful the way some teams play😊

    Back to winning ways for Man City today, thank goodness.

    But why on earth has Pep recalled Cownio Bravo to the team? One shot on target from Hull, one goal. Rog, your grandson would have saved it!

    Fastest goal in Rovers history today, just 12 seconds into the game and then no more goals. Bit disappointing if you'd nipped to the loo prior to kickoff! surprised

    Or if you got to your seat a few seconds late. That's a real bugbear with me. A bloke who sits on the row in front of us always gets to his seat three of four minutes after kickoff, he then goes out of his seat five minutes before half time and gets back after the second half has begun. He does this week in week out, he must miss a huge proportion of the match over the course of a season and causes other to miss things as well because everyone has to stand up to let him  pass and then we behind can't see either . Grrrrr😤

    A double celebration today. The Terriers won a hard fought game with a goal deep into time added on, and my grandson won a signed football. We go to the training complex before matches for something to eat and so he can experience the Fanzone. He usually plays a reaction game called Batak and today the ball was a prize. I got a text just before kickoff telling me that he had the highest score and ball signed by the squad was waiting for us at reception. In football parlance he was "over the moon"😀⚽️⚽️

    Brighton & Hove Albion !

    Great win yesterday to secure promotion and a local lad scored the winning goal too.

    Been a Seagulls fan for 60 years, ever since they were in the Third Division South, but stopped going to home matches when standing was discontinued. I just can't enjoy soccer sitting down, so I go to my village team matches now.

    Great to be promoted to the Premier Division after all these years although top flight football is more and more a business these days. 

    One of the Seagulls team lives just 200 yds around the corner from my house and many weekends the road is like a 4x4 and Italian cars showroom!
