It’s the press bullshit I worry about. Any negative result or below par performance and the knives will be out because we’re not playing the likes of Palmer and Bellingham. I’ve always disliked Bellingham as the more advanced midfielder for England. Feels like he gets in the way, wants too many touches and has main character syndrome. As good as Palmer is. If that setup last night is how Tuchel wants to play a lot of the time. I don’t see where he fits in? To get the best out of Kane. He needs those willing runners in behind and plenty of pace from wide and runners to get beyond him and/or support him from deep. I don’t think that’s a fairly new thought, either. People were saying it back when the likes of Sterling and Rashford were England regulars.

Nah. He was right there and looked blatant as fuck, I thought.

How the fuck did he need VAR for that?! He was looking right at it

Shit hot 1v1 defender, much like Tino. The wings would be locked down with those two starting at the world cup.

I’m massively into racing and I live in Newmarket. So know plenty that rub shoulders with him. He actually talks really well on a lot of subjects and a plenty say he is sound. It just all seems incredibly shady and I just feel like loads of stuff will come out in years to come about some of the business practices and where the money comes from.

Why is Pavlovic complaining there? Has he not just totally lost his man and then got out-battled by him for good measure?!

Harsh red. But a quick glimpse into the future for Forest fans. The big Serb having to defend shit loads of space and a high line. Good luck.

Yeah. He needs to stop shooting, mind

Not many better 1v1 defenders in the Prem than Tino. Well, when he plays left. Looks more comfortable there than on the right.

Superb this.

Geeeeet up.

Should still be scoring that, no? Barely got contact on it. Have people in the crowd got whistles?! I’m sure I keep hearing them when we are on an attack

Just don’t let Pope kick it. Unless it is a clearance or his usual 5-10 yards to a CB His throws are deadly, mind. Think he could spring plenty of counters with those when he gets the chance.

Not played at all in pre-season or the first few games, has he? Now away on international duty and played an hour first up. Then 70 odd 4 days later. I’m sure it’s just cramp and him also not being match fit. Hopefully the international break has done us a favour for once. Gordon getting minutes, Wissa up to speed and some of those with knocks are getting a bit of a rest.

I wonder what is going on with that shady cunt. He is spending daft money in the horse racing world. Massively over-paying for horses. Must be losing money at an alarming rate. FT had a piece the other day saying some investment/equity firm had loaned him £40 odd million at 10.25% interest. The Forest owner is supposed to be bankrolling a lot of his racing business and all. Seems even dodgier these days than when he popped up at West Ham with Tevez and Mascherano.

So many of those are miles from the truth and all. Take 'cool' for example.

Finally did my annual merch shop. Got the new originals/terrace tee. Plus the grey training top and the blue and yellow shorts for the gym.

I see him at the races quite a lot these days. Still seems to have the personality of a bag of gravel in a suit.

Ahhhhhhhhhh. My eyes. Sweet Baby Jesus and the orphans. What in the holy fuck is that

If Howe wants to gradually shift back to a 4-2-3-1 type of set up, which I believe he often played at Bournemouth. Then Anderson coming back at some point in the near future would be great. I would never have him down as playing as the sole DM like we have in our current setup. I don't think his skillset is anything like Bruno's and despite being mobile, he doesn't have the pure athleticism Tonali possesses. I agree with @r0cafella on that part.

Made me chuckle out loud for some reason He was unbearable by the end of it. Going to be interesting to see how they get on. Seems like Nuno was already disappointed with the lack of new signings and the squad depth. They now have a manager whose style lends itself to shit loads of players getting injured. He is also picking up a team who has been drilled to play and set up in a way that is almost alien to Big Flange. I also take it the general consensus is Forest fans are unhappy that Nuno has gone and wouldn't want someone like MAAAAAATE coming in? So it feels like he is up against it from the off and won't have all the fans onside. Talk about contrasting styles. I'm actually fascinated to see how it pans out.

Funnily enough. I was listening to the Monday Night Club podcast this morning. It felt like they were almost saying that about him, without saying that. Anyway. No deal. Still an absolute cunt. But Isak has already passed him in the cunt league table. I never felt as much emotion with Owen. As I didn't ever want him here and I wasn't excited in the slightest by the signing for various reasons. One of the rare times I called it right on a player.

Just skimmed an article of the names they’re linked with. I hope they don’t manage to nab someone like Iraola or Glasner. I think they could actually kick on and become an even trickier team to play and another team to routinely compete with in those European spots. Poch or Silva wouldn’t particularly concern me. Even though I do quite like the latter. Ange would be quality. The polar opposite of how they play now and a disaster waiting to happen. They should go for him.

You could have used this template for fellow cunt and terrible human being, Michael Owen.

I dunno. He’s pretty trim mate.
