This is the big one for me. "VAR can't intervene". The stupidest of the self-imposed rules. Balls to common sense - as long as our own restrictive rules are in place. That and the time it takes. Jeez. We live in a time now where the culture of VAR seems to be "Right, what minscule and...

Generally agree. But when the system itself is broken, it needs a change. I would speculate that most people's view on VAR (for example) GENERALLY would fall into one of three categories: 1. VAR is perfect as it is. Don't change it at all. 2. VAR is a bunch or arse. Scrap it all together...

What they really need is for clubs themselves to kick up more of a fuss about it. The more that do it, the better. When any club does this though (and I could name names ;)), they are roundly criticised by fans of other clubs for it - the same fans who themselves moan and whinge about referees...

@Fade and Die what's your view now on the Nuno situation? Is he going to get sacked now, soon, or is he given the rest of the season and maybe beyond? I read varying things elsewhere from Hammers. There seems to be a general agreement that the chairman is the main problem, but differing views...

That’s the thing. The decisions that go against you in a game you lose feel absolutely massive, more so when you’re at either of the extreme ends of the table. Same decision goes against you in a game you win and it just doesn’t register as hard.

What Aztecs said in response is spot onto be honest Tash. I don’t have much more to add! Re McAtee I definitely think there’s a good player there. I thought he was going to be successor to MGW as and when he moves on. He hasn’t had loads of chances, but the ones he has had he sadly hasn’t made...

Indeed, it's massive. Potentially season-deciding. And I have absolutely zero confidence in getting anything at all from the game. It's crazy how momentum, whether it's good or bad, can affect sport (and the way you feel about it) so much.

Jeez, are you all still talking about Manyoo, rather than getting excited about the MASSIVE game that's on tonight??? I am of course talking about West Ham v Forest. Or, if you wish to use the proper name: El Crappio.

I guess that as a defender, it can be just as important to look at the players around you as it is the flight of the ball. Personally, I don’t want to see penalties given for that sort of incident. There’s plenty of other stuff I’d rather they clamped down on first. Just my opinion though. 👍

I’m no expert on the handball rule these days but I’m given to understand that if a player is facing away from it when it happens (or in this case looking down and with two other players around him), then it isn’t a handball. Personally think that would have been incredibly harsh had it been...

Pleased with Forest’s performance today, but in the end we just couldn’t get the better of Rob Jones. Second yellow for the most blatant tactical foul ever? Nah.

“My heart would sink if I opened the door to that lot!😂😂😂” 😉 I’m happy with the Moretti and the champagne. The rest of it, not for me thanks! 🤣 PS. Love the dog! 🐶

Thought it was gonna go on all night!

I saw a very amusing clip on Twitter after the Spurs game of the two minute period we were spraying passes around while Spurs were running around like headless chickens and the crowd were chanting “Ole” with every pass. It was sped up, with the Benny Hill theme playing over it.

Forest continuing their tradition of losing 1-0 in 0-0 games against Fulham.
