I didn't even realise there was a UFC fighter from Ipswich. It sounded like he was unlucky last night (see this video here: I'll definitely look out for his future fights. I used to watch UFC a lot back in the GSP and Anderson Silva eras, but I've sort of lost my way with it. I remember when Machida first burst on the scene; he was exciting. And Bisping had some good fights during his time. I still love boxing, even if it can be a circus at times!
Edit: The video link might not work directly from here. If you search ROBBERY?!! Who Really Won (Arnold Allen vs. Movsar Evloev)? on YouTube. It's on a channel called The Weasle which has nearly 350k subscribers.
"What’s even more fearsome than the losses made is the debt the club has, as detailed in the ‘current assets’ section of the report. Their debt has jumped from £66million this time last year to £76million in the current accounts, an increase caused mainly by interest. "
And to put it into better perspective, if you had purchased BTC one year ago today, you'd be around 8% or 10% in the red, depending on whether you purchased using USD or GBP. So while it's been a very good year to date, it's not been very good across the last 12 months in total.
Bitcoin is currently 50% up this year vs. GBP (YTD), although it's only just over 5% up in the last 3 months. And it lost 5.5% last week. It's up 57% YTD vs. USD. So I'm not sure if it's the best time to buy, as there've been some good gains this year already after it hit the lows at the end of last year. Buying on January 1st and selling a week ago would have been the play; hindsight is a wonderful thing, hey!
‘One day you’ll write a book about this club. Or, more to the point, about me. So you may as well know what I’m thinking and save it up for later when it won’t do any harm to anyone.’
Brian Clough’s twenty years as Nottingham Forest manager were an unpredictable mixture of success, failure, fall-outs and alcoholism. Duncan Hamilton, initiated as a young journalist into the Brian Clough empire, was there to see it all. In this strikingly intimate biography — William Hill Sports Book of the Year 2007 — Hamilton paints a vivid portrait of one of football’s greatest managers: from Nottingham Forest’s double European Cup triumph to the torturous breakdown of relations at the club and Clough’s descent into alcoholism.
Sad, joyous and personal, Hamilton’s account of life with Brian Clough is a touching tribute to a brilliant man.
I would be sorry to see him go. I think we should stick with him, as he's got a lot of potential. I think he could develop into a great player for us if given time. On his day, he's very hard for the opposition to contain. Get some added consistency, and we'd have a real gem on our hands.
Should we move for a striker in January it's worth considering that Posh nearly always drive a hard bargain (so I expect Clarke-Harris would be very expensive), therefore, maybe the better value would be Collins, see here:
Although Portsmouth had been linked strongly for Collins but apparently he turned them down saying he was happy and settled at Bristol Rovers.
Anybody else think he'd be worth getting if a fair deal could be done (and provided he showed enough willing to want to come here)? And do you think he looks a definite upgrade on what we already have?
I've got no idea if he's even on the club's radar but if they wanted to get a striker that looks strong at this level, then he might be on a potential shortlist.
