"Why are you here if you're a Forest fan?" - conversation.

It's a red football shirt and an interesting talking point. Don't really see the issue.

He's from Nottingham and he's a Forest fan.

It sounds pretty bad. Someone punched him (reportedly), he smacked his head on a metal bar and collapsed later.

Eternal Glory.

We haven't changed the way we play. We have stopped giving away stupid penalties and lazy goals which means we, generally, only need one goal for a win. We didn't score against Be'er Sheva or Leicester. Had we given away a soft goal in either of those games and consequently lost then people would be on here moaning about the "diamond" and over-analysing basic playing errors. We were rusty at the start of the season but now players are finding their form.

Yes, that's basically what happened to me too. Funnily enough, coming the opposite way on Sunday evening took much longer - odd!

Agree with all this. If he can develop a real cutting edge / clinical streak he will be class. He has all the attributes. This is the first time he has played in a good Premier League team, having previously played in the Champ or in the Prem for Birmingham or Norwich. Being around Boufal, Tadic, Van Dijk, Bertrand etc. will help him develop, as will European football. He was a bargain for the price.

No problem. Regards, Claude.

Yeah, I noticed quite a few. Was a surprise to see an IDF uniformed member in there as well belting out "Oh When the Saints"!

It's completely fantastical to say we were "superb". We were adequate. Plenty of players had poor matches with lots of sloppy moments and we made an enforced tactical change after half an hour. It was mid 20s tops by kick off with a pleasant breeze. We were OK and deliberately cagey in the first half. "Superb" is a massive exaggeration.

No, no, no. Only Ali Dia is worse.

I didn't say it was an arduous journey. Simply that I couldn't see the point in going home on Friday only to set off again on Sat. Maybe try to think about what you're reading in the future.

I would have thought it would make sense to fly straight to the nearest available airport to Leicester today then stay in Leicester Fri and Sat night. Presumably we are travelling up to Leicester tomorrow anyway so it seems a bit pointless to go back "home" for an evening and cuts out the travel time / fatigue from Saturday. I'm sure the club knows best anyway!

Yeah, it wasnt remotely hostile in the sense of being menacing. It was loud but all good natured.

You might see me on your walk down the beach. I'm the bronzed Adonis in the SFC budgie smugglers.

Just finished packing. Hope to see some of you tomorrow!

It's poor judgment however you look at it and from an employer's perspective he's given the FA a massive headache here. If they don't sack him they will look pretty pathetic. I think it will be quite funny if he gets sacked after one match but the problem for the FA is the dearth of English candidates.

Cheers chaps. Doesn't sound too bad then. I just remember the last time I drove into London the M3 seemed to have a 50mile zone that went on forever and it was painfully slow!

Great! I'll be there Wednesday evening!

Fair enough!

My flight is at 12.20 and I've only got carry on luggage so shouldn't need to be at the airport especially early. Got my shekels today. I like the 100s. Nice notes.

Cool, thanks. If I leave at seven I should be there by ten I guess.

I now officially think Lee Mason is a fat-headed ****.
