Why are the Forest fans so bitter, any idea?

5 or 6m well spent could potentially keep us up, doubt we will see massive spending... but then again Ashley has tasted relegartion now so maybe he knows that more than a gamble is required.

Whickham pretends to be in Newcastle though, pretentious bastards.

Reading or Shef Utd would be awesome, I'll be at those. Don't care like, as long as we do it.

Yeaaahhhhh booooiiiiiii!!!

You cannot be serious.

His interviews are class, probably the only manager who says whatever he thinks. I haven't heard him whinging about refs/added time/other team behaviour much either, which is good.

It's madness this, we all know full well that the top teams play weakened or 'alternative' teams all the time... now it's Wolves they get a fine.

Wow, I logged back into this thread after a couple of days, and found Bible quotes!

Wish I was going, Easter comes too late for me to get back. At least it's on TV though... should be a good one.

Based on our performances at the end of last season, and the players that went out, I can see why we expected to do badly. I thought it myself. Turns out we were lucky/good in that the players that went were mostly ones we wanted to get rid of anyway, and we bolstered that with some clever signings. We have a better squad and team now than the one that went down, IMO.

Definitely. If we go straight back up the damage to the club is minimal. If we don't though, any silver linings will soon disappear.

and i hate him as i've frequently pointed out in the pet hates thread. Oh, me too, can't stand the bloke. I don't understand why he's still involved in football if he finds all the players so terrible and the game so irritating.

To blame for a couple of the goals. We won 1-0. he knows. pointing out the silliness of the bold. harper had a decent game but his kicking was crap. Sorry, whoosh etc etc.

Alan Green hates everyone. He hates football in general... he hates life.

I doubt it will come to anyone having to leave. For all we know Carroll might have apologised profusely and they've both moved on already.

To blame for a couple of the goals. We won 1-0.

But they've already applied the points penalty, surely it can't be removed and then reapplied under different circustances? I agree it's unfair of teams to time their administration to lessen the impact, but it's equally unfair of the league to time the points penalty to do maximum damage.

I stand corrected, madness if true though. Also, hasn't it already been applied?

Right about all of that KaKa. Have to admit I thought Carroll would be another Shola/Chopra/LuaLua, and I'm still not 100% convinced he won't. But I didn't give enough weight to his age, lack of experience and turbulent period of the club he was playing through. As you say, relegation has been very good for him, let's just hope he can keep his head screwed on.

No, as gray says the points penalty isn't given to ensure a team gets relegated, it has nothing to do with their league position or where they finish.

Excellent to see Kadar coming on, just hope the Premierleague doesn't come too soon for him.

Well, it's the 'promotionometer', not the 'promotion celebration'.

Agreed. Just imagine if he'd been given a chance last season instead of Michael Superstar Owen a couple of goals from our own local hero might have kept us up. Although he had looked like a decent prospect before, it was when he scored that header away to Stoke City that I first thought the kid could make it in the PL. He really is not afraid to mix it with big players and big reputations. Aye, the fact he's a knobhead and a total charver should actually help him on the pitch. FWIW, his temper only seems to flare up in private, during games he keeps a lid on it well.

What do you mean?
