    Is this your formal application for the job? Its a yes from me.

    People keep saying this is unprecedented but Swindon Town won promotion (via the playoffs) to the top tier in 1990. A couple of weeks later they were found guilty of financial irregularities and relegated TWO DIVISIONS. Was reduced to one division on appeal. So yeah, ten points is a lot but imagine winning the playoffs, then getting relegated before the season starts. And to top it all off you live in Swindon.

    Would leave them with a back four of AWB, Verane, Reguilon, and Jonny Evans. They are thin for quality at the back.

    I'll remember this one for more than a week. Absolute hilarity.

    This capitulation makes great viewing. They've got some easier league fixtures coming up that might paper over the cracks, but they look awful even when they win.

    would be great if he came back, with jj and moreno out we lack some drive on the left not even sure the above is true but i've had a couple of drinks and thought i'd annoy a few people by bumping this thread

    Not taking anything away from forest - they had a plan, stayed narrow expecting they could deal with balls from wide, and they executed it well. That said, in their wildest dreams I doubt they thought they'd get a goal that early (which allowed them to dig in) and then get the sucker punch straight after the second half kicked off. And two goals from players who haven't scored that many between the in 2023. From our side we gave Aina acres for the first strike, and the second was a rare Emi blunder. We also lacked players to drive at them - Moreno, Ramsey and to some degree Buendia were sorely missed. Things went against us and they were solid. It happens, and they're no mugs at their patch. Nine points from the next three games and all will be forgiven. More than ten points from the next five and I'll build a shrine to UE in one of my kid's bedrooms. I'm sure they'll understand and it's always warm in the laundry.

    This is a Herculean effort and much respect is due. That said, I hate you for having this much spare time in your life. You could've been babysitting my kids.

    The plurality of forest fans thinknwere in for a good day at least. The Polish Cafu gets us over the line. https://www.forestforum.co.uk/index.php?threads/official-matchday-thread-nottingham-forest-vs-aston-villa-sunday-november-5th-2023.51636/

    There's got to be a chant for this in the away game
  11. Vancvillan
    I also have zero information regarding the question.

    The correct and only answer is "because he's 6 foot 4". Cheerleading for big players has been happening for the last few years.

    As a kid I always took the poppy as a symbol for remembering those who made an unthinkable sacrifice in war. Reading his comments I see how it's different depending on where you're from. Hard not to respect that. The irony of Lest We Forget while at least two wars rage on isn't lost in me either. I'm not sure we've remembered much of anything.

    My logical brain agrees with you but I've also been thinking "how do we sign the next step up without European football" for at least 18 months. Hope there's another Moreno-esque target (inb4 Matt) out there.
  15. Vancvillan
    Would have to be a permanent deal or we couldn't loan Januzaj

    If anyone's not "very optimistic" at this point they must have some big dreams
  17. Vancvillan
    To be fair to Jack he was a great player in a much worse team.
  18. Vancvillan
    Yeah it's bizarre that barely a yeah ago i would have taken a draw at home to fulham. now it's a banana skin if we don't win. Very few teams have gone from being that bad to this good so quickly. Back to Luton - I hope they stay up purely for Marv but realistically Bournemouth should win that 4 team mini-league with the players and experience they have. I think those four will be bad enough that the likes of Everton will pull away long before the end.
  19. Vancvillan
    Those two aren't mutually exclusive. Add also: We'd take him for a fee they'd never sell him for We'd pay him less than he'd want or could get elsewhere
  20. Vancvillan
    surely 7 points from this or eth is done
  21. Vancvillan
    The reports of his death are greatly exaggerated. Don't think he'd get that joke though.
  22. Vancvillan
    Signed Mount with no plan on how to play him Signed Anthony who went bad on all levels. Signed a ball playing gk and all their ball player defenders are injured. Carlsberg don't do shit transfer windows, but if they did it'd look like this.
  23. Vancvillan
    Need Europa conference refs in the prem.
  24. Vancvillan
    two or three players could share motm ref was great some sloppy moments but doesn't take away from a great away win
