Well that's what I mean by other teams doing us favours. You told me we don't need anyone taking points off our rivals cos we can do it all ourselves.

That pre-supposes those below/around us win all theirs.

god i hope not. i've taken time off to go to that one. choose a different one please.

It's the place I had Ostrich for dinner, was nice.

If we don't get any favours then we'll need to win all of our remaining games and it goes to the final weekend. Which I'm not remotely up for.

We don't need favours however welcome they may be, it's in our own hands.

We're plotting for Wolves to cancel that out by doing us a favour vs you.

us too 🙂

i live near crystal palace. my neighbour is a palace fan. should be fun.

Aye, a proper fucking weirdo. Would delight in telling me how they used to have a dog called n-word and how it was fine back then cos that was an actual colour and you could order a sofa in that colour etc. Most of my time at their house was me doing Tim from The Office reaction-shots-to-camera for my own amusement/sanity.

Said this a few times before but for when the VAR team decide they need to get involved then they need to completely own the decision. If they decide it’s a mistake they make that call. They’re the ones with the technology at their disposal (and not just a smaller screen where someone else dictates which replays are available, as is the case for the on field ref). If they don’t think it’s clear enough to call out as an error then the VAR team should stay out of it. Asking the referee to look at the screen in front of a crowd puts ridiculous pressure on them. Surely VAR should be about helping officials, not making their life more difficult

Christ man, that last one sounds like a horror show..

Forest have got Brentford on Thursday night. Brentford have only lost 3 in the last 10 and are no pushovers (drew away at Arsenal this month). Hopefully they can do us a bit of a favour.

we returned about 5k tickets yesterday. a mixture of wembley losing it's gloss for a 30th visit since the takeover. it being marathon weekend. a 430pm sunday kickoff. ticket price protests ongoing. ticket sourcing protests ongoing. we still outsang them (probably due to a goal 2 mins in tbf) apparently city fans have bought nearly a million tickets for wembley in recent years. forest 70k. i thought about going yesterday but they've moved wolves to this friday night meaning i've had to book time off work and train tickets for me and my eldest. i'd usually drive but not risking being late.

Totally agree....... We don't need to check mirrors as we're the kings of the road.....

Think the rematch is mandatory anyway.

I don't have the heart. On the rare occasions that my wife and mother in law get sucked into one of these monologues, the mother in law in particular does these massive audible sighs and will go "deeeear me..... Oh god." under her breath, and he looks so fucking hurt by it when he catches her. My wife will go as far as exchanging looks with her mam but never says anything. My lot is to just fucking accept that I am in a one way conversation and try to drum up a reaction that is as non-dismissive as possible for when it all ends. He had to retire early due to stress and I think in part it's him saying "I used to be somebody you know?", so telling him he's boring the tits off me would be quite brutal. It's an improvement on my previous father-in-law who would try and co-opt me into jokes at the dinner table about how fat the mother in law was, and when his step-granddaughters came round (all bonny lasses in their teens) he'd go "come and sit on your granddad's knee". 🍭 That was meant to be a lol, but the lollipop might be more appropriate.

More likely net zero power generation is unable to maintain correct frequencys.

Have you tried telling him this or bantering with him about it

I agree it's a penalty. There Is enough force. My problem is that he is looking directly at it and he felt there wasn't enough force. It's not like he missed it. VAR basically just made the decision for him. There have been similar cases recently (Morgan Rogers at Forest for example) which they let the ref just make the onfield call rightly, or wrongly.

Up yours, Crocadillos!

Same story. Wife and mother in law know what he's like and don't want to hear his shit so I get isolated with him.

Mine is exactly the same. I can take about 2 mins before I zone out then when the conversation stops I just smile awkwardly because I have no idea what my response should be. The grand kids and his kids just magically disperse when he starts a story and I’m left alone in the room with him.

This is worse than Keith's story FFS
