    5. LaClusazSki to tell more lies that are easily disproved.
    6. LaClusazSki to make more predictions that don’t happen.

    We know you have zero idea so god knows why you keep peddling your nonsense.

    I'm generally so apathetic about us playing I might not even bother switching it on.

    That is the saddest thing now for me. There's just no feeling, win lose or draw. Even when we occasionally score I barely raise a cheer right now.

    At Huddersfield when we went 2-0 up I just thought, "well that's nice. Where did I park the car? I hope I can beat the crowds and hit the motorway in good time to get back for most of the 5.30 KO. I wonder what to have for tea tonight?".

    It's just so depressingly dull that I can barely bother to muster some morsel of support to even switch on the TV for the team I've previously spent passionately following and trekking the country to support for 30 years .

    Ho hum.

    I'm excited for this one, a real battering live on TV would be hilarious.

    Yep. That’s where we are right now. It’s not a question of will we lose, it’s a question of will it be a defeat of historical proportions. If it’s only going to be 3 or 4-0, I won’t bother watching, but if it’s 9 or 10 it might be fun to tune in.

    Why the new guys can't play:

    43.5 Where the opening date of the Winter Transfer Window (whether in accordance with Regulation 43.3, or following a determination of an alternative date in accordance with Regulation 43.4) could (having regard to the operation of Regulation 44.8) result in some Clubs being unable to register Players for the round of League Matches scheduled on or around that opening date, but others would, then The League shall be entitled to withhold confirmation of registration (for the purposes of Regulation 44.8.2) until the next following League Match.

    Further guidance:

    The purpose of this Regulation is to give The League an element of flexibility in its application. By way of example, in Season 2020/21 it was applied as follows:

    the Winter Transfer Window in Season 2020/21 opened on 2 January 2021.
    in the Championship division, Match round 23 was scheduled for 2 January 2021 and some fixtures were moved to 3/4 January 2021 to accommodate TV selections.
    in order to ensure that all Clubs were treated equitably for Match round 23, the League withheld confirmation of registration for applications lodged on the morning of Saturday 2 January 2021, until after completion of match round 23, so Clubs selected for TV did not gain an advantage over the majority of Clubs who would play at 3pm on the Saturday.

    That is a good question and thank you for asking. I went to the local takeaway that does pizza, fish and chips, kebabs etc.

    I usually go for the hot meaty one but went off menu and asked for something a little farmhousey.

    You see before we moved I used to walk to farmhouse on courtlands drive and order a 10" farmhouse pizza and spicy wings, especially after a game and a handful of beers.

    But since we moved this local doesn't have that on the menu. So this time I decided to request it. It was pretty good actually. Had it again since and told the guy he should add it to his menu.

    I wouldn't get spicy wings from there though. Had a couple of very bad experiences and one "accident" from their fried chicken!

    Excellent report!
    Let's hope our team show as much diligence and attention to detail as you have here!

    So because there's games in this round of fixtures where teams had to play before the window opened, any team playing tomorrow also can't field new signings.

    At least it's not a clerical issue caused by our own incompetent club.

    Why aren’t they eligible. I thought football league rules specifically allowed them to play? Edit: already answered.

    Esepcially when the players coming back are useless gash like Cleverly and Kayembe.

    So did Bilic not know that before saying they could as has been suggested ?

    Or probably more likely the club have only just noticed .

    Bilic was probably told they could play, then today found out they couldn't. A bit like when he was told Sarr would be back on a specific date, then the club let Sarr do whatever he liked.

    Cleverley would have been useful had he been fit. A clear example of good in championship and not so good in premier League. God knows if he'll return double slow this time...

    For the amount he gets paid he is old, injury prone, slow and easily replaceable even at championship level. Another dreadful contract extension.

    He'll never play again I'd wager.

    Will retire at the end of the season.

    We are now offically out the playoffs. Get used to it lads and lasses as with the effort our slackers show it might be a while before we settle back into the big six of this division. I can see one direction us taking - and that's not up.

    100% agreed, he would have been useful.

    ... Oh wait, no, it's not 2016.

    So what will you do ? Watch it up until 4-0 so you can then decide to not watch it but then you ll miss the chance to watch it for to 9-0?

    I’m not watching the game. But if it’s going to be record levels, it’ll be 4/5-0 at half time. I’ll check the score then to make a decision over watching the second half or watching The Goonies on Ch5.

    True, but I'll get that the next day from the highlights on the official site. I've got it all covered.
