I feel it’s worth repeating that forcing the game to be abandoned is counter-productive and will only get negative press. Similarly, giving Hillsborough over the Blunts on a derby day would be excruciating and would lead to years of taunting and P-taking. So, reversing some of the opinions around a total boycott may have more positive if we used the opportunity for positive protest. It’s still protest at the end of the day but hopefully with positive press and TV coverage. I would suggest something noisy and unpleasant for DC. Let’s accept that for one match he would get a windfall from gate receipts (but nothing from the concessions). But with a full and passionate Hillsborough, we should have 90+ minutes of anti-DC from all corners of the ground. Even more, we could have organised protests at various planned times aimed at maximising the visual impact of each, trying to draw the cameras into the stand or commenting on the anti-DC stance. Imagine, on 10 minutes we have thousands of black balloons cascading down the stands and onto the pitch. On 20 minutes repeated with gold balloons. 30 minutes blue paper airplanes etc. All with a series of raucous DC out chants. Given we all participate, this would give a repeated impact I. Front of the cameras and give the press something positive to report rather than pitch invasions or other matters which could have a negative impact. It would also show the solidarity and cohesion of the supporters.

I want this over - I’m not prepared to drive all the way from Norwich and pay for a hotel (for a home match) only to put money into Chancers coffers. But I want to be at the party when the takeover finally happens pleaze pleas please appen sooon

Moved seamlessly between Trump, Epstein, Pikeletes and Crumpets. Only on Owlstalk!,

I want to be optimistic and maybe the heat today is getting to me, but I think there is something happening behinds the scenes. Admittedly it’s all quiet but we may be looking at other non-related matters to draw a conclusion that (I think) we all want: 1 - Barry Bannon isn’t making any noises about leaving 2 - Danny Röhl has been very quiet too, as have his back room team. Maybe they have been told to stay remote and quiet while this sh1tsh0w unfolds 3 - Textor has parted with his shares in Palace and has £190m to use if he is leading the US consortium 4 - No noise from HMRC about defaulted payments, so maybe the £5m has been advanced All of the above suggests that something is happening and that various NDAs are keeping a lid on matters to prevent negotiations being compromised. maybe it’s the heat, but I sense a good day soon.

Bumped into Trevor Francis in Boston, USA - he was doing punditry for ITV during the US World Cup in 1994. We were both heading to the Spain v Italy quarter-final (think that was the match) and having a drink in a hotel bar prior to kick-off. A nice guy, nothing much else to say.

The windows of their minibus have turned blue with all their sadness

The Coach and Horses, 82 Thorpe Road, NR1 1BA. A real ale pub which welcomes home and visiting supporters. Great pub, home brewed ale on draft and good food. Been there a number of times - no problems even when wearing colours. also near to the coach park for visiting supporters. Going there again this evening, easy 5 minutes walk to Carrow Road. CYA there

Apologies in advance - but the idea made me smile. To the tune of ‘Hong Kong Phooey’ Japan Hatsuse, number one super guy! Japan Hatsuse, quicker than the human eye. He's got style, a groovy smile, and a bod that just won't stop. When the going gets rough, he's super tough, with a Japan Hatsuse chop. Yaaah! https://www.google.com/search?q=hong+kong+phooey+theme+song&client=safari&sca_esv=fd368f2ad05e4b13&hl=en-gb&ei=RRWlZ6ODCeaohbIPuI-k2AI&oq=kong+long+fuey&gs_lp=EhNtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1zZXJwIg5rb25nIGxvbmcgZnVleSoCCAIyChAAGLADGNYEGEcyChAAGLADGNYEGEcyChAAGLADGNYEGEcyChAAGLADGNYEGEcyChAAGLADGNYEGEcyChAAGLADGNYEGEcyChAAGLADGNYEGEcyChAAGLADGNYEGEdIw50BULJdWOF2cAR4AZABAJgBeaABvAGqAQMxLjG4AQHIAQD4AQGYAgagAuIBwgIFECEYoAHCAgQQIRgVwgIFECEYnwXCAggQABiABBiiBJgDAIgGAZAGCJIHAzUuMaAHkgk&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-serp#

Reviewing the last 10 Championship seasons, the average total needed to survive is 43.9 points. That figure is calculated by adding one point to the total of the team who finished in 22nd position and calculating a 10-year average. This team under the astute leadership of DR and his backroom staff have done a brilliant job and we are sooo close to this figure. They have also probably saved my life as I’m sure I would have had a heart attack if our season went down to the last game again . I would risk my health though if we were to make the playoffs final.

Are they still available? I need 2. I assume they are in with the Wednesday fans!

Does anyone have any spare Wednesday tickets going for the away game v Pompey next week. I had assumed it would be relatively easy getting tickets, what with it being so far away and a night match, but never underestimate the commitment of Wednesdayites eh! 2 adult tickets needed in with the Wednesday fans (obviously). I have already registered my name with the ticket office for any returns but am trying all options. Thanks Rick

Don’t we play tomorrow? Looking forward to it. That said this has 0-0 written all over it
