Enjoyed that game. Forest not clinical with their chances. We’ve just got to focus on winning our games (obviously) A pummelling of Leicester to up our GD would be good [emoji38]


I feel like for us now, pressure is off and whatever happens between now, and the season ending is going to be fine.

Gutsy side Forest, more impressed by them in defeat today than i've been watching them win sometimes this year

 

Can see a good portion of their fanbase turning on Nuno next season due to this, when they have shown how good they can play when chasing a lead like today and against us.  "Why don't we start games like this."

Carlos Corberan big turnaround at Valencia. They were bottom three when he took over, 95th minute winner away at Madrid today takes them 15th and 7 clear of relegation.

Question.

 

Marco Asensio is allowed to play against has parent club (PSG) for Villa this week. He’s obviously become a key player for them but would you trust him to play in the two biggest games of your recent history?

If Villa were to finish above us it would be down to us having season ending form that wouldn’t get us fifth anyway. They’re not a concern if we take care of ourselves. Forest though are out of our hands currently but they are very much at risk of dropping out 

I don’t want Villa thinking they have a chance of CL when we got to Villa Park. 
 

I don’t expect they can get to 67 points. But that does require them to drop points. The sooner the better. 
 

Forest or none  of my concern. They don’t play any of our other rivals for the rest of the season.  I expect them to get 68 points or more though. 
 

If we get 68 points we should get 5th. But we do need to keep an eye Chelsea, City and to a lesser extent Villa. A draw today would’ve pretty much ruled Villa out the race.

Villa have GD which puts them a point down on everybody else basically and they've played two games more than us.

 

I think the way of looking at it is if we finish below them we're not getting top 5 anyway.

Thats the point though. We 100% need to finish above Villa. We don’t need to finish above Forest.

Yes. He’s surprise to requirements at PSG - if anything he’ll be extra motivated.  Remember Lua Lua ending or CL hopes?

 

Remember Morata knocking Real out of the CL for Juve when he was essentially there on loan.

Villa made 8 changes from the team that played their last game, they were equal to forest... Pretty impressive tbf

Good depth and got momentum.  I expect PSG to dent that momentum mind.  But the PL game couldn’t be easier.

If I were the PSG owners - with immense wealth and influence - there's not a fucking chance I'd be letting Asensio put in any kind of shift against my side and not suffer repurcussions [emoji38]

 

I'd have him back in the summer and staring into the reserves or pedaled to Steve Bruce otherwise

His contract is up next season. It’s I’m everyone’s best interest that he is sold in the summer. He’s currently playing himself into a big money Saudi move at worst.

Yea, I didn't see that one either but was fun to watch!  I knew handling a backpass from a teammate was no bueno but didn't know the law.

Best thing about that is the little Solano dummy to get the wall to break slightly before he does roll it for Shearer.

It's one of my favourite Shearer goals. :lol: One of those that you whinge about in 5-a-side cos it's blatantly unfair to be kicking it that hard.

Can’t remember the last decent Sunday game I’ve seen on Sky

 

Fulham v Liverpool

Man U v Man City

 

Sky will be massively over-hyping the Manchester derby
