I can see Forest being dragged back into the relegation scrap over the next few weeks...

It did occur to me to give him/her/them a pre-emptive name check before posting....

Well, that worked a treat...

# Warped logic klaxon # Everton are one of those teams that always seem to find enough to avoid relegation so I'd actually prefer them to beat other teams that are within catching distance of us, such as Forest.

Lighthouse and MLG... Never before seen in the same room together...

That line up suggestion was partly born out of frustration with the lack of gumption being shown by the majority of our senior players along with a dash of tongue-in-cheek. I've just got to the stage now where I don't think we'll stay up regardless of who plays, ergo, why not give a few of the best lads a crack of the whip? It won't happen of course, unless we get to the point where we're mathematically down with games to go.

I think he was just trying to play down the hype around him (the questioner mentioned previous interest from Chelsea for example) but got his words a tad mixed up.

I'd like to think there was something "lost in translation" there and he didn't mean it to come across as harshly as it sounds?

Did I mis-hear or did Selles just single out Lavia for significant criticism in the press conference just now?

Eh? Wilcox won't work with the boss/owner who employed him...? Call me old fashioned but you'd have thought that ever so minor stumbling block would have come to light during the job interview....?

Calling @CB Fryto the thread to break the news to @Fabrice29that we're not going to stay up regardless of which players we play.... p.s..note to self: must use the tongue-in-cheek emoji more often...

McCarthy KWP - ABK - Salisu - Perraud JWP - Lavia S. Armstrong - Doyle Ballard - Adams

Sod watching them.... Let's replace half the first team with the U18s for the rest of the season. The season's a write-off anyway so nowt to lose.

The decision whether to choose a freeze-frame just after the ball has been kicked rather than the one just before the ball has been kicked is somewhat subjective I would venture...

Classic non-sequitur territory. Just because something happened in the past doesn't mean that it'll happen again in the future. I was a fully paid-up member of the Ralph "cult" (chortle) but even I could see that his time had naturally come to an end.

Shouldn't he have been sent off in that case?

I agree it was a clear penalty but, as you say, given it was clear on the TV replays, why on Earth did it take the officials 4 minutes to see the blindingly obvious?

If only they'd brought in Nigel to work alongside Ruben...

Personally, I blame NAMG and the whole oil rig saga back in the day....
