  1. Nail on head. Will WBA and Forest be resting players? I'm not so sure.
  2. Hughton has to make changes at HT - it's just not good enough given the importance of the game. I know we can still get promoted next couple of games, but what's wrong with getting it sewn up asap? The man shows fear when we play away from home, and surely that's transmitting to the players.
  3. We sound very poor so far, but Peterborough doing well. Usual suspects, particularly in midfield letting us down once again.
  4. They nearly score again. Nice one, Chris - team selection backfiring so far.
  5. Team is a surprise - obviously keeping some players on ice for Monday. Hope it doesn't backfire on Hughton, this.
  6. They were pish tonight. Sold their allocation but very quiet given the importance of the game (I was up in the Leazes Corner)
  7. Fantastic win and a good team performance. Forest did OK but lacked a cutting edge and we then got the win that we deserved. Took us a while to get going as both sides seemed to struggle with the conditions. However, two great goals from Shola and Enrique and it's Premier League here we come. We could go up on Saturday if Forest lose against Brizzle City and we beat Peterborough. I reckon it'll be done on Easter Monday though. Great turnout tonight as well, with just under 46000 there. Forest sold out their full allocation, but their fans were pretty pish and very quiet for the most part. Expected a bit more from them if I'm honest rather than the tired 'You've never won f**k all'.
  8. Not sure to be honest, Madras. Have we any ex-miners on here who could shed some light on things? I was 11 years old when the strike began in 84 and as the son of a miner (at that time), it wasn't good . Lots of people today, particularly youngsters don't understand how bad it was back then. Having to go to soup kitchens for a meal during school holidays - says it all really. The strike still gets my dander up now 25 years on since it ended.
  9. I'll be shouting 'Scabs' if it starts up tomorrow. Reasons why Nottinghamshire didn't strike was because those miners worked and got far better conditions/money than the miners in the rest of the country. These super pits had enjoyed plenty of investment during that time, which set about creating the division. In the end though, Nottinghamshire miners ended up getting shafted by the Tories as well. In saying that, I know there were plenty NE lads who went to work in the Notts pits after the strike. Plenty Geordies knocking about down there still.
  10. Alan Green and Jan Molby fawning all over Liverpool on 5Live. Have they really played that well or are the mackems that bad?
  11. Was just about to post that. Couldn't attempt to rock the boat harder if she tried. Blatant in the extreme.
  12. Think he's from Whitley Bay.
  13. Massive win in the scheme of things if we can hang on here. Pancrate on for Routledge.
