  1. Take that back, Betamax was supreme in every way

    Lewis Miley

    Hopefully Big Jow is back soon and we can look at maybe giving Bruno a little rest and try Miley along side Joe and Tonali, we need a fit Bruno for the final and he's looking a little jaded right now.

    Nick Pope

    I said it before the game and I'll repeat it now, Pope is clearly the better keeper, better shot stopper, better sweeper, better at crosses and better at commanding his box. I think it's fair to say that first goal can be put down to rustiness as the rest of the game can attest. The only thing Dubz is better at is his distribution under pressure. Pope is the best option we have this season, but we do need a new No.1 for next season.
  4. I actually think we'll give them a game and lose by 1
  5. I have them finishing 6th too fwiw but they aren't just luck merchants
  6. Forest are 3rd for a reason, it isn't just luck, they came out 2nd half determined to get something from the game and forced us into errors, they were as bad as we were good in the first, we stepped back as much as they stepped up 2nd half. I think its rather arrogant to suggest that 2nd half was all of our own making, sure we didn't help ourselves but Forest believed they could still get something from the game and very nearly did with their belief and tenacity.
  7. Nah, double figures, ahead of City on GD
  8. Seems like a copy and paste statement this season
  9. Feels like this probably finishes 4-1 or 5-2 now, I get it, big game Wednesday so no point in flogging the players for more but it's always such an anticlimax when you demolish a team in 10 minutes and then nothing else happens
  10. Tails are up now, this is what we needed
  11. But we never come back from behind?
  12. So happy for him, thoroughly deserved!
  13. Ref needs to start flashing cards and get someone sent off here, they're just trying to smash us off the park
  14. Murphy to blame for losing the ball so cheaply but what the hell was Pope playing at then?
  15. Dubravka has had a great run in the side and we will miss his ability to distribute from the back but ultimately Pope is the better keeper and Dubs has let a couple in you'd think Pope saves. Having said that, I'm not looking forward to watching every long ball result in a throw in for Forest.
  16. Over the moon Miley is getting his chances again this season, definitely motm performance from him today.
  17. Don't know what everyone is wetting the bed for, we took care of these with ease away from home. Yes, the starting line-up isn't ideal but Howe knows what he's doing and he has a strong bench to make something happen late on if we need it. I'm not saying it's gonna be an easy game but we win today.
  18. That would be a way to end it this week but I think the odds would be slightly stacked against me
  19. I've already had Chelsea so at least we're not doing the same picks
