    It was a solid performance and a good game. I was particularly impressed with McDonald. Our secret weapon Baldwin came on too late to really influence the game. A special mention goes to the ref, who is clearly very passionate about the ball being in the quadrant at corner kicks.

    With that we've taken four points off Bradford and got a point away at a team who have won 16 out of 22 home games. All the same, our hopes of automatic are looking very tenuous and the teams below us are catching up, and that's because of the last couple of games. Work to do!

    This round's glorious winner is @4everapie! But points were at a premium for most...

    That doesn't change the table much, with @super_ram staying top for now.

    Tomorrow (Good Friday) we've got another round on, and the fixtures are online already. So if you're not at Valley Parade right now (and why not?), have a go! Good luck :)

    This is very much a long-term trend - Wispas definitely used to be larger than they are now (and they're half air anyway). On the other hand, I can't remember Creme Eggs ever being more than 34g!

    One of the sneakiest things is that products are being sold at less than their advertisied weight. The box of grass seed I bought the other week was the lightest 2kg ever.

    Thanks for the insight @menzinho, as chocolate is highly processed it's easy to forget that it's originally a crop and can be affected by crop failures. For the last couple of years I've been buying nicer chocolate (the fewer ingredients the better) but less of it.

    Forgive me please for i have sinned.....couldnt have been further from my prediction....a nightmare performance from the whole team.....NO EXCEPTIONS

     

    I think we can all agree that this result was solely down to @gtownjohnno angering the football gods.

    But seriously, the wheels coming off after us losing our star loanee midfielder is a touch Nolanesque. But incredibly, we're not quite out of it yet as nobody else seems to fancy League One much either.

    I'm not sure where these figures are from, but they seem a bit on the high side. The season we were relegated to the Bananarama Premier, we were League Two's top spenders on 3 million for the year while two or three clubs didn't evenmake seven figures. In League One a few years before, about 2.5 million was enough to place us in mid table in terms of budget.

    I find it hard to believe wages have grown that much, unless these are for overall club expenditure and not just playing staff?

    I don't find it surprising that we're not near the top though. Most of the teams are about where I expected, with the exception of Colchester.

    For some reason the text I wrote bragging about my magnificant victory this round has just vanished, although you can see the table and standings above. So here's your reminder that I won, and I suppose I'd better post Tuesday's scores for you too:

    It's been a remarkable season for so many teams at the top finding it very hard to put a consistent run together.

    I don't think it's been that unusual for League Two, many a team has won promotion on 70-odd points and we're on 68 already. It's just a very even league. That also means that (cliche alert) there are no easy games.

    At the other end, Carlisle are now nine points adrift of safety and are surely going down with a whimper. Very sad :(

    Barnsley had an operating loss of 9.6 million last season, so there's still Championship spending going on there. Stockport's spending is huge, but at that time they were in L2 with a smaller slice of tv money.

    It puts our own figures into perspective, but none of it is sustainable. Clubs are kidding themselves that the football regulator will be a silver bullet.

    Not sure what you're all going to make of this. I've posted the link below but have copied and pasted the article to save you the click.

     

    Notts to celebrate neighbours' Cup win

    With Forest just 90 minutes away from the FA Cup final, the dream of Wembley glory is tantalisingly close. And Notts County chiefs have come up with a unique gesture should their rivals lift the cup in May.

    In the event of Forest winning the trophy, the Reds are to incorporate a red shield on next season's shirts featuring the FA Cup, the Forest badge and two stars symbolising their two FA Cup wins. And their Trentside neighbours plan to do likewise, sewing the celebratory red badges next to their own badge on next season's home shirt.

    A Notts source commented: "Forest winning the FA Cup would be a once-in-a-lifetime event for everyone in the city. With this symbolic gesture we want to maintain the current positive relations between the clubs and extend our congratulations to our neighbours."

    Councillor Jo King added: "This is a wonderful example of our city of sport standing together and shows how much more we can achieve when we work together. I'm sure every County fan will be delighted to sport Forest's special FA Cup badge for the whole of the 25-26 season."

    As part of the celebrations, tentative plans are also being drawn up to parade the famous trophy at Meadow Lane prior to County's first home game of the season while "Mull of Kintyre" plays over the tannoy.
