Arm Patch.

All you tractor fans on here will hopefully be able to see The Tractor Boys in action against Forest at the City Ground next season as Ipswich Town have been promoted to the EPL.

Forest - Gather three vital points from the away trip to Bramall Lane to play the already relegated Blades and come away 1-3 winners, their first away win since Boxing Day. 28,516 were on hand, I wonder how many Forest Fans made the short trip up the M1? Sheffield United opened the scoring in the 16th minute with a penalty from Ben Brereton. Forest were on equal terms just over 10 minutes later when Callum Hudson-Odoi scored the first of his brace with a curling shot into the far corner. The Blades had their chances too but fortunately for Forest they could not convert them into goals. Six min

Such beautiful greens. We are not worthy to be in such esteemed company, ( thats the Royal we).

Yes, that’s the wildlife/flower meadow. I’ll post a monthly shot until haymaking.

Is that all your gaff Phil?

Looking south. Not a tractor in sight!

Know what you mean Phil but got too much on already plus Mrs P keeps telling me to buy another shed to replace the old one near the back door, fair enough it is a bit knackered but I keep telling her it's got character she just keeps telling me I'm tight Rog

Well Oz, what an amazing pair of results for you to wake up to. What a great afternoon for the Reds as they come away from Sheffield with the win. The team coach will be rocking as it wends its way the short distance down the M1 back to Nottingham. And just when you thought things couldn't get any better, Burnley implode and get thumped by Newcastle. My reputation as a football pundit is now in tatters and I'm considering returning to my previous job as a rent boy. It's well paid but after the medical bills there's not a lot left. Just kidding. Back to today’s football. Mr Marinak

The Landy’s worth a punt Rog. Would fetch a good price when restored. You know you want a project! I like Landys. I had one back in ‘97 ‘till it got nicked. Swb County diesel in red. Keep looking at them now but they’re quite pricey.

It's not mine Barrie but the engine is in good order according to the farmer, he also has a two series Landy and some sort of Mitsubishi 4x4 in another barn as well as about four old tractors all working condition, Rog

Bureaucrats creating jobs for bureaucrats. I looked at the propaganda which came through the door and realised that the whole thing was a complete waste of time and money.

Is it a runner Rog? Or have you not tried to start it.

Essentially Oz this is the purpose of the new mayor that no one wanted and has cost a projected £4 million just to elect. The main focus is to be: Skills. Transport Housing Net Zero Business support and has an investment fund of £38 million to play with. Much is being made of a figure of £1.5 billion - but whispering it's over 30 years. Sounds a lot like a Brexit promise to me. No one it seems is asking the question of why, why we need a new mayor for these things and why the hell were our councils not doing the same thi

This one is in pretty good condition once you get past all the farm muck, the bodywork is very good for Vauxhalls of that decade, Rog

That’s what I like here in Italy. The fruit and veg in the local markets are really local and they are always so fresh you can smell the freshness of the earth. There’s one that is only a small stall but he picks his produce in the morning he’s selling them. What a difference .

Oz, The Daily Mirror article was linked in a Times article about Forest's owner. I rarely read newspapers these days. I prefer to get the latest news from the internet. Back in the day I would spend hours reading The Sunday Times and if I was away on business I would try and pick up The Telegraph. I remember my dad had The Daily Mirror delivered every day in the late 50s and early 60s but I rarely read it. He used to have several Sunday papers every week and he would always watch the news, consequently he was always well versed in current affairs. I've inherited his lo

Happy Star wars day May the fourth be with you.

I had a white version of that in the late 1970s. Not the best car I ever owned.

Interesting, I did not catch that article at the time Mess as I don't usually read the Mirror. Having said that another Nottinghamshire clubs players were caught up in match fixing in 1964. Remember Jimmy Gauld Sammy Chapman and Brian Phillips of Mansfield Town. They all received custodial sentences.

I loved Duane Eddy. His twangy guitar sound was such an important part of the early 1960s music scene especially to a budding guitarist like me. I was at Uni in Manchester (Salford to be precise) 1972/3 and used to listen to The Johnnie Walker show on Radio One on Wednesday afternoons when we had free time. He used Duane's “Because They're Young” as his theme music and it brings back happy memories when I hear it. I also love this one from 1975. RIP Duane Eddy a guitar legend.

Oz, I agree, things have gone very pear shaped at Forest since the change of ownership. There may be a clue in here: https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/revealed-would-nottingham-forest-owner-8451522
