Derby have declared any suggestion they'd ever try and avoid tax disrespectful, Fred Wests family have declared any suggestion he might have had a short temper disrespectful....
Watford saying it is disrespectful to speculate that they might get rid of a manager is a bit like Casanova being outraged about speculation that he might not settle down and start a family with the current fling.

I’m not sure he has any goal scoring records so it must be Player of Season or Team of Season
Only player with more than 100 Premier League goals to have also broken into the Blue Peter garden?
One is a goalscoring record. The other also involves goals...
(These references are going straight over my millennial head, sorry)
Clue: the top 3 for the goalscoring record in question are Ferdinand, Mané, Heskey
Ferdinand and Heskey makes me think it’s something to do with record PL goal scorer at a single club. But I’m not sure Mané would be in that category.
Most goals scored by a player with a girl’s name.
Ok, another clue: this record is more significant for what he *didn't* do...
Most goals without scoring a penalty?
You got it
The other one, which is a bit niche, is the shortest time between PL hat-tricks (he got two in three days)

If anyone wants to see a true masterclass in shithousery, Milan have just taken the lead v Napoli...
Gone by Saturday then 🤔

PL clubs agree to withdraw gambling sponsors from front of shirts from 2025/26. It's a start... https://twitter.com/footballdaily/status/1646470889402138624?t=RtvZv5pU8yol1xSax8DPUw&s=19
Seems a good cause for those who like to sign petitions

I wonder if a change.org petition has ever achieved anything at all.
I suspect not @drcongo (apart from giving the masses an illusion that they might be listened to by those in authority)
I'd guess only by reverse, next time they are after a quick win or want to appear popular there's some stuff in the in tray.
Gambling shirt ban is very late and quite limited.
Looks like Kyle Dempsey is a lucky boy for the run-in. Suspended sentence for assault for him and his Dad rather than some time in the clink.
He's got to play with a tag, though
I love this quote from Paul Warne, bemoaning Derby's failure to beat MK:
"I don't know what the lads could have done, aside from score more goals."
You may be on to something there, Paul.
A common Cloughism on ATV.
'What went wrong there, Brian?'
'They scored more goals.'
End of interview.
Possibly 'late news' but there was further Lionel Ritchie banter on the 'Totally Football' podcast on Monday @ReturnToSenda
Not sure how reliable this is, but Al Hamadi is making some noise....
FLW understands that Brentford, Brighton, Burnley, Coventry, Ipswich, Boro, and Wednesday are all among the sides looking at the Iran international

With their sale of Ayoub Asall, I'm wondering if we got a fee for him....
Chelsea have reportedly extended Enzo Fernandez's contract to 2032. Does the word 'amortisation' ring any bells? 🤔
Extended it? Wasn't it already ludicrously long.
The linesman who was accused of elbowing Robertson has been found to have no case to answer and is free to continue his job.
Excellent news. We really need to stamp out the physical and verbal abuse of referees from players and managers.
