From his comments in recent weeks, it looked to be a matter of just when.

Absolutely mental but sadly inevitable since Nuno publicly came out and said he had a bad relationship with the chairman.

Really? Why? I’ve always quite liked Forest about as similar as a club you can get, same for Derby and Leicester but I’ve never really like them for some reason

Why? The manager has had significant backing in the team and, like he has done elsewhere, is speaking / briefing out against the owner.

Yep. For me it's the Clough past, and the European Cup successes. The successful underdogs. I loved seeing them come back up - the PL needs proper clubs like Forest, Leeds, etc.

That said, I'm not a fan of how they've gone about things off the pitch. Pushed at the edges of the buying rules, and the complaint re Palace costing them a proper European place wasn't classy imo. 

Crazy sacking btw. Nuno has been brilliant there, but it seems like there wasn't room for the owners ego and Nuno. Shame.

Big Ange is going to be appointed as Forest manager as his Greek mate is the owner.

looking forward to the second season because he always wins something.

The Championship quite possibly

I caught some of the 2nd half, he played well, looks full of confidence 

Found an old article about Manning when he was at QPR. Seems like quite a grounded bloke and was impressing in CM at 21. Certainly an option there if ever needed when Welington is back fighting for the LB spot with Jelert.

We need them to stay up this season and then blow up next season ideally if all goes well 😉

Spertsyan just scored for armenia v Ireland. Big second half coming up for Republic now!

Lovely pass inside the fullback for the second too.

[AlexLaw76]

Madueke looks a threat, Anderson is good.

Kane, obviously an elite finisher, but fucking hell, he is so slow and offers almost nothing in the build up

This setup actually works for Kane though, he comes short and you have players with pace running beyond like Madueke and Gordon. Even our fullbacks are making runs behind.

Anderson looks class, a proper number 6. Could establish himself there for England for years to come.

Fair point

Yes, Anderson looks brilliant

Norway 10-1 vs Moldova!

if tonight is a peek at what sort of football we will try an play, I have to say it is better and more like 'English football'

Are you not entertained?

Best England performance in literally years

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Excellent performance, taking apart their opponents. Loads of pace around Kane, with strength and support from central midfield, versatile fullbacks and technical as well as solid central defenders. Oh, and Shouty Pickford too. Lots to like in that performance. Spence did really well when coming on too I thought.

[egg]

It's taken a while to click, but blimey, it did tonight. 

[Midfield_General]

Actually looked like a team rather than a collection of individuals. Everyone working for each other and knowing their jobs. Round pegs in round holes. 

And Reece James is twice the defender 'Trent' is.

Rogers started a little slowly but was absolute class and probably England's best player on the night. He was involved in most of the good stuff we produced and created loads of opportunities and chances to attack.
