Surprised to see Eddie speaking so openly about PSR deadline. Could mean we see some relatively early signings.

What's the best odds on us missing out anybody can find?

I was at a wedding last year and was getting jip from a drunken gobby Forest fan about Wood, Anderson and Vlachadimos and I'm not going to lie I'm almost petty enough for that to be reason enough for me to want them to fail.

Everything about Forest this season has been about riding a wave of momentum in spite of all prevailing statistics (and my own eyes tbh) saying they were going to drop away at some point. A collapse in results at this stage is huge for confidence because of all the teams up there it seems most likely to spiral for them IMO.

They've lost 3 of their last 4 league games now, two of which at home. It's still in their hands but this would be a big blow.

Wissa bagging for the laptop boys infront of their pitiful away end of former Chelsea fans. Good result for us.

You've got to really dig deep to explore angles for possible schadenfreude and enjoyment. It's hard. Tottenham winning a European trophy instead of Arsenal? There's something there maybe.

Man City lost to Real Madrid

Worst UEFA cup ever

Love Bilbao as a club and what they represent but the cantera policy always means they have a couple of absolute jobbers in their team. This striker they've got for example.

Norwegian farmers gonna concede a hatful

FFS that should have been the tie.

I don't think anybody on that English language forum for international glory hunters is Italian

Hutchinson is a right winger/attacking mid though not a striker. He was definitely their best player when they got promoted last year, but hasn't really done it this season when fit.

Udinese at home and likely already relegated Venezia the last two are bankers. I'd be absolutely amazed if Juve didn't finish top 6.

Glad you enjoyed it. I'd thoroughly recommend dipping into all levels. Tickets are generally cheap, you can usually buy them easily, stadiums are varied and the cities are usually nice to visit. In the north the trains are very good and make doing a bunch of games over a weekend achievable - not too dissimilar to Netherlands where I know you go quite often. I usually mix it up between going in the curva and the side. In the curva people just stand wherever so you can usually take a peripheral spot, but it can also be nice to get the full perspective of the curva from another vantagepoint. I'm going with my old man this time, so we'll be in the slightly posher seats resting his knees.

I'm going to Lecce Vs Napoli on Saturday, which is a big game for both ends of the table. Bari vs Pisa on Sunday too - Pisa might be up by then depending what happens on Thursday's games. Bari pushing for play offs.

He was signed as a wing back, but Conte abandoned his usual back 3 after about 4 games of the season and reverted to the 4-3-3 that Napoli usually play. Then they lost Kvara without a replacement in January and Neres to injury - so he's ended up there kind of by accident really.

Was gasping for a domestic away but not too bothered about Celtic since I've been there. Annoying.

He hasn't been that good this season really in terms of general play. But he does have a very good eye for stealing goals when played a bit further forward. I was never down on signing him personally. Definitely think he would have been a very good fourth midfielder to strengthen that area as would Gallagher have been who people were equally not convinced on. However he is not really the right age profile nor would he have been a game changing signing.

Wouldn't take a draw personally. Don't think it massively helps us as I still think we'd probably need to win the two homes games. A win would be absolutely huge.

That's not a exactly right though, because 4/5 could have finished on lower totals and still got 5th. 60, 66, 59, 63, 64 was the actual required totals. That puts the median required total a bit lower. However I'd say you are probably correct - I think the numbers of teams involved will push it to a higher overall total than usually expected. As is the fact that 5th is a CL place - this hasn't been the case previously.

Away at Chelsea maybe - but we've won all three at home since Eddie took over. Even going back to the bad old days, we've actually got a pretty good record at home to them. Brighton away you're right - our record there is pretty awful. Hopefully we're due a result.

Nonsense. Our odds to finish top five will have just improved.

I'd have taken a draw but honestly it's the best result when looked at coldly.
