Considering this is almost entirely coming from ‘big 6’ supporters it’s so frustrating how anti-competitive they are. And willfully blind to the advantages they have. I've been saying forever that these clubs hate competition. They also lack a sense of irony given a lot of them became established when no such rules existed. And the way forest got done was total bullshit on top of that. The rules penalised them being promoted as the allowable loss is much less in the championship.

Forest are a good example of how it might pay to break the rules and take the punishment rather than accept the shackles imposed by the cartel led authorities.

I don't watch any non-CL European football. But the names and league positions don't seem great outside of Porto & Lazio. I'd hate for Man U to trick us out of another European competition.

Yorkie Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 They've got four of the league's top five in their upcoming fixtures too (including us). Hopefully they'll be another team we can distance ourselves from over January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their goals were a mishit off the shin, a massive deflection and an extremely harsh penalty. But we got away with murder because a goal was rightly ruled offside? The people thinking it was onside must think AWB had size 15 feet. Anyone who thinks we didn't deserve to win that game, or the FA Cup for that matter, it biased beyond belief or just simply off their rocker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 If Forest put away the lesser sides it's gonna be hard to stop them. Their games against Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and City in this half of the season are all at home. Our game against them next month could be huge.

Geogaddi Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 We only need to get 5 more points than Forest over 18 games, if we are unable to do that then we don't deserve champions league really, its not like we are chasing down peak Man City or anything.

Don't understand this tbh, I never watch the CL because it's boring as fuck. The EL and Conference League always entertain. That said, I'd much prefer NUFC in the CL, of course It'd be different if we were in it, but all matches not involving us would be just as boring as they always have been.

Forest didn’t do it as a gamble though. Everyone has changed the narrative to that they did, because 2 and a half years later they are having a good season. When they got promoted, most of their players were either out of contract, or having to return to their clubs after their loan deal ended. Even if they never got promoted, they would have had to buy a whole new squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quality of football in the CL is the best the sport has to offer. That part is super enjoyable. I mostly watch Madrid and it’s understated how excellent and enjoyable to watch players like Fede Valverde and Eduardo Camavinga are and they aren’t even the star players. Watching Valverde is like watching Sandro Tonali (a brilliant player) on steroids. I’ve super enjoyed this new league format. The quality of matches has been superb and the competition is hot. By the time it gets to Thursday and Spurs - I’m footballed out. Like watching a Man U is painful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They weren’t even a parachute payment club like Fulham or Bournemouth. Apart from Leeds who never bothered to sign defenders - most (non parachute payment) promoted clubs don’t even attempt to stay up. I think FFP has blocked Leicester from giving it a real go but the rest don’t try. Forest came up and slapped the money down for late 20s Chris Wood. They meant business.
