    Blank edit box

    Bit OT this, but i'm frequently finding that when I go to edit a post, the edit box comes up blank. You can't delete it, edit it or (crucially) multi-quote in that post to save space. Is this a bug or something i'm doing wrong?

    Embargo lifted in January?

    Nixon seems pretty sure. That would be great really. I hope we've learned our lesson about reckless spending but with a few reasonable additions we could make a push? Probably not though.

    Special Guest v Burnley...

    Is it Collymore? Is it Birtles? McGovern? Robertson? No, it's Gareth Taylor. :faceslap:

    How much to exit the embargo?

    Say for example we sell Lansbury for £5m and Antonio for £7m, shouldn't we be getting pretty close to the exit figure? We've lost Mackie's £25k or so per week, released loads more in Collins, Lars, Halford and Harding which will be around £50k per week too. Surely we're not miles off coming out...

    We're very strong at our core!

    To cut apart the sea of negativity and downbeatitude here, I just wanted to say that when fully fit our options through the middle of the pitch are as good as I can remember for some time now. Hamer, DDV and Evtimov is a strong selection of goalies, my Fosse mate raves about Hamer in...

    Fawaz's 3 Biggest Successes...

    Bit harder to write, but here we go: 3) Owning Up to his Mistake and Ending the Davies/Jim Circus: Say what you want about Fawaz, but he doesn't hide behind excuses. He gave Davies all he needed to succeed but he still took the piss. Getting rid of him took balls but it was absolutely the right...

    Fawaz's 3 Biggest Mistakes...

    I love Fawaz and feel he suffers from naivety more than anything malicious but it's hard to say he's not made some major mistakes over his time. For me, there's 3 that stand out: 3) Signing Abdoun and Djebbour: Something like £3m to sign them and a combined £60k per week for 3 years combined...

    PFA Team Of The Year

    Somehow the bloke with the most goals from a non-striker and third most assists overall isn't in the team of the year.

    NFFC Squad - End-Of-Year Marks

    Two games to go, about time to enter the monotony of the summer. How do you rank the squad? Darlow - 5 - Disappointing season. Poor shot-stopping, poor organisation, beaten from range frequently and flaps at crosses every week. Quite simply, he's been below average and Newcastle will be hugely...

    FFP - Theoretically

    So come this summer, say we lose the dead weight/wages of Abdoun, Mackie, Majewski, Lascelles, Darlow and the loanees off the wage bill and sell Antonio for £8m like we could...Do you think we could then make a case for losing the embargo? The names above are examples, but if we can prove that...

    We want QPR to go down...

    It's definitely in our interest for QPR to get relegated this year. Aside from the fact they may nt even be allowed to play until they pay the fine, they'll almost certainly fight FFP in the courts and it could see our embargo lifted alongside it. Someone will contest the legality of it...

    Such an important win...

    You see it all the time in football. Someone comes in, results take a dramatic upturn and things suddenly look amazing. Then one result goes wrong and things start to fall down. Today's win was so important. It showed that we can still win....without Danny Collins.

    Away Kits

    Here's a fun fact. By my recollection we have only won once when not wearing red since the start of the 13/14 season. Weird that.

    Roger Riera

    So, how has he been? Anywhere remotely close to the first team squad? All honesty, no rose glasses just how's he been? Don't get to watch the academy so much these days so any updates would be grand.

    Crunch Period...

    Somewhat incredibly, we play all of the bottom 9 over our next 11 games (with Middlesbrough and Bournemouth at home thrown in) so it's safe to say this is make or break time. By the time we go to Norwich in late March we pretty much need to be back in the top 6 because it's a tough run-in. Until...

    Hypothetically speaking...

    ...if someone from the Prem comes in and offers ~£12m for Britt in the summer...do you take it?

    The sooner Reid is back, the better...

    Some of you may remember I did some Reid stats a while back. Let's have a wee look at how those stats bear out now, these are all from the start of the 13/14 season. 2 defeats in 34 with him, 5 wins in 38 without him. Cohen and Hobbs won't have helped either, but this is one player's...

    FFP Sanctions

    So, Forest fail FFP and are banned from paying a team a single penny for at least the next three windows. Manchester City fail FFP and are set to sign Wilfried Bony for £30m. Hmmm...

    New Deal for Lichaj

    Quite happy with this. I like Lichaj, not as wasteful as Fox and much better in his own half too. Struggles against pace on occasion but a solid Championship right back in his own right. We certainly can't get much better for the next 3 windows anyway.

    Hypothetically, Burnley come back in for Lansbury...

    ...how quickly would you accept the bid? Also, say we got £3m for him. What would that mean for replacing him?
