I'm more concerned about the rumours that he might be off

Was quite looking forward to this game, not at all now, going to be grim, will be extremely fortunate to get a point

Best bit about all of this is that it was them beating Stoke last weekend that led to them sacking their manager and taking Neil Unreal development, like I've said with him I genuinely think with Neil they had a good chance of the play offs this season. Be very interesting what happens now

Early days but could easily see Liverpool finishing 3rd or something this season, something isn't right

Think Man Utd will get something tonight

Dunno if sky have repositioned the mics or whatever but the atmosphere doesn't sound half as loud as I thought it'd be

They're coming up. Championship is the worst it's been in years, they've got momentum. Really good start. Confident we'll beat them but think a lot on here are over rating the league/under rating them

Don't think they'll genuinely get relegated but Man Utd remind me of us so much from say 2007 - relegation, after souness but pre relegation, aimless, fans still fairly expectant, at least for a decent standard of European football, but too many cloggers and players that aren't arsed etc

City definitely have worse depth, however Haaland being so clinical will offset that...unless he gets injured of course. If him and De Bruyne stay fit all season (and Haaland will get a 5 week break whilst the World Cup happens) then they'll be miles (at least 10 points) ahead of anyone this season

Still think these will make the play offs, league is the weakest it's been in years IMO

How does Welbeck still get a start for a decent Premier league side man, he's shite

Be at least 3 nil Liverpool, Fulham haven't done anything in the summer and will be useless. Norwich/Wigan on sky could be a mate competitive game/better watch

And the country goes mild

It's an overrated league, we saw this when we were there, the only reason people bang on about it being such a good league is because so many teams are evenly matched so it ends up being close aside from 1 maybe 2 teams pulling away, other than that they're evenly matched because there's a load of average shite. We weren't very good both of our times down there, especially under Rafa, nothing special whatsoever but ended up going up comfortably, this season I think the quality is at an all time low as even the teams coming down aren't great, I think Burnley will walk the league and from there it's literally anybody, it just takes a good run, the fact Forest managed to nearly get automatic promotion last season despite being bottom in October says everything you need to know.

As much as we hate them, I think people are underestimating what momentum, a couple of good signings and a decent atmosphere can do in this league. Unfortunately think they'll do well this season and will at least make the play offs

Would be ideal that and a good idea I think. I feel almost guilty at the minute having my season ticket, as I don't live in the area I won't get to every game, with some events I've got going on this year and next I reckon I'll probably get to just over 50% of home games, but I've renewed so that I can still have my seat, can hopefully get to some away games and be able to get a Wembley ticket if we get there, in regards to what I get for my money its not worth it on the surface but I couldn't face not having one. I dunno, probably won't make me very popular with those who couldn't get one and would go every week but it's one of those, I see it, with not living in the area I don't know any other fans I could lend it to either so its not ideal

No chance any away tickets are going to members sale either so bit harsh peddling that as one of the "benefits"

Club shop website is awful, trying to buy the 3rd shirt, for one its ridiculously slow, and then when I pick the shirt and choose the size medium it just keeps adding it to the bag as a small and no way of changing it, unreal

Ballots could be for anything to be fair, there was nothing in their announcement that made it seem like it'd be a ballot, just the usual announcement of them going on sale online and to get them from there, if it was a ballot they'd have announced it by now. Ballot could just be something they're setting up for the future, wembley tickets for example, maybe even some away games might have some tickets in a ballot as we speculated last season, not convinced it's linked to next weeks season tickets sale

It's alright saying it's short term thinking to turn on him now, but the notion that just because you achieve some great results in years past it means you're immune to any criticism is just as ridiculous. End of the day we should have beat Croatia in 18 and Italy last year, but we didn't because of Southgates negative shitting himself tactics. No doubt Southgate has been far far better than expected when he was appointed, and honestly the last two tournament's have been the most I've enjoyed following England probably ever, however, every manager, every person in everyday life in any position of power, has a ceiling, I feel Southgate might have reached his. I pray I'll be proven wrong, but I think this is a team that can win something, but, under Southgate they never will. This isn't just me reacting ro these games either, I think most England fans, whether they admit it or not, have had the same feelings over the past few years, we've peaked the last two tournaments, it's been an amazing ride, but we're at a crossroads now and decisions need to be made.

VAR is so weird, what's the rationale for that not being a pen? He fouls him, just because he didn't see him doesn't mean its not a foul, if he doesn't kick his foot he doesn't knock him over, I just don't get their thinking when reviewing that.

Scotland going to get back level in this

Forest are a proper club like, as much as I would've laughed if they hadn't gone up the history of the club and everything about it is premier league. They have a large chav element of fans in my experience but it's a massive club and at least we're getting a club coming up that will bring proper support next season, I'd much rather play Forest than the likes of Fulham, Bournemouth, Burnley etc

They kept replaying the worse fucking angle for some reason, initial angle front on showed it was a clear penalty, unbelievable

Just gave me a flashback to that Tuesday night, Saturday teatime back to back wins away at Brighton and Huddersfield What a couple of games man, remember going into that week genuinely thinking we could lose both and be in big trouble. One of the few highlights of the Ashley era that
