Jogging back the pair of them. Pathetic.

Does anyone actually like being deafened by a brass band playing the same ten bars of OWTS, on a continuous loop for ten minutes before kick off?

A brand new Russian fighter may have been missing a few bits.

Right…. So the character and soul of the club that people lament having been lost mainly consists of old people with piles?

I couldn't call it either way personally, both were useless at this level last season. If Tella has taken a step forward with Burnley and can take another next year then great, but that's a big 'if' in both cases. There are plenty of players for whom that's just there level. Tella will be 24 in summer, it's getting into sh*t or get off the khazi time for him.

Goal line technology doing its job there. On a side note, "who's your player of the game Gary?" 🙄

You vote for an MP to be elected to parliament. If the circumstances around that change, then they have a by-election. You don’t vote for a prime minister, so legally speaking it’s up to the Tories to appoint whoever they like, as often as they like. Obviously that doesn’t go down well with voters, but legally I don’t think there’s anything which would trigger an election.

Anyway, all joking aside, Liverpool lose to the team bottom of the league. I pity the fool who can’t enjoy that!

And you’re certain they’ll beat Chelsea at home as well?

This would be the Forest team which lost 6-0 against City?

Nope, genuinely not a clue. What is our CEO doing which you regard as being too corporate and bland?

I’m pretty sure all the Johnson hype is being done deliberately to make Sunak seem like the sensible option when he is eventually appointed.

I don't really know what this means, if I'm honest. In what way have we become bland and corporate, in a way that we weren't before? What is it you would expect from Semmens to reestablish identity and spirit? What is the 'touchy feely crap' we've become too focused on?

There’re maybe ten to fifteen countries which generally score better than us in most quality of life metrics. We’re better than the other 190-odd.

Until something tangible comes to light, I don't think there's anything to actually discuss here.

Was the previous leadership contest longer than her actual leadership?

As posted on the main board, her premiership has seen more Monarchs than Saints wins.

So basically her leadership has seen more monarchs than Saints wins. Cracking stat, that.

Even the weather's brightened up in the last ten minutes here.

Christ, we were 15 hours away from having three prime ministers in between Saints victories.

Apart from Spurs and City, we’ve still had a result on the table going into stoppage time of every game. Generally speaking we’ve been competitive, if not pretty. Compared to last season’s 4-0 at Villa, 3-0 at Brentford, 4-1 at Leicester and that embarrassment at home to Chelsea we’ve certainly been better this season. Not great but better.

So? We beat Chelsea and we're below them, what's your point?

I think that’s a wildly optimistic take on it from a Forest perspective. They may have two clean sheets but they’ve drawn a blank themselves in six games and conceded three or more against four teams, including Bournemouth, Leicester and Fulham. Aside from trips to Spurs and Man City, all our games have been tight and could have gone either way. Since swapping to a back four Everton are the only other team to score twice against us. Put it this way, I doubt any fans of the four midland teams are thinking, "I’m glad we’re not Southampton," this morning.

We needed to lose the last two in order to beat Arsenal at home, so unfortunately I don’t we’ll get anything.
