Think at least one Forest player should have got in after that win.

If Trent had made that pass for their goal we’d never have heard the end of it.

Does it really matter who is in Troy Deeney's team of the week? He's not exactly a legend of the game.

Neither are great pundits. I think Garth makes Michael Owen look good

Dear lord, he isn't that bad . Nobody has ever plunged those depths.

Well exactly! There’s a reason his managerial career lasted about as long as a chocolate fire guard.

Michael Owen acknowledged that the challenge that wiped out Garnacho at the weekend was cynical and caught his knee. However, he didn't think it should be a red, but an "orange" card at worst.

Apparently the defender was simply trying to wipe out Garnacho, rather than injure him. And there ultimately needs to be contact to achieve that goal. He said there was no force in the challenge.

Not sure about other huma beings, but if I stub my toe on a stationary object, it hurts. So, if I was running full pelt and my knee collided with a stationary stud like object, I reckon that would sting as well. So, any sort of additional pave on that stud like object bound to be worse.

Really confused by Owen's opinion, as everyone else I've heard / seen seems to be in agreement with the referees call, except the Southampton player himself

Any footy fan should see that as red imo.
Do we want flair players unprotected from this ?
Or only ones on our own teams

Orange? If it deserved more than a yellow, the only option is red. Owen is… Mmm, least said…

RIP Gary Shaw. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/clyl083pxd9o
Part of the great Villa side

To be filed in the same box as Emma Hayes and Eni Aluko where footballing opinion is concerned.

I'd have put them all in!

The club just want to rinse the fans for every penny they can. I buy the exact same shirt from DH gate for £13 that the club sell in the club shop for £80. I’m sure DH gate are making a fair profit but that’s not enough for greedy club owners, they want 1000% more profit.

Theyre definitely not “exactly the same”, but some of them are very good copies.

The badges being different to the acrisp club crest (some more subtle than others) and poor stitching is usually a giveaway.

not condoning the eye watering prices that adidas/nike charge (the clubs see barely any of it and make most of their money from the shirt sponsors), but the shirts from DH gate etc aren’t the exact same ones you’d get from the club shops

England legend Shearer’s team of the week holds a lot more clout. I’ve always been of that opinion. Yep, definitely always loved his selections and him as a bloke.

 

[PJ87]

Bit of tongue-in-cheek annoyance from me as a Forest fan really!

Two Brighton players in there (defender and a midfielder) who played out a 0-0 draw at home with Ipswich. But no space for any Forest midfielders who stifled their Liverpool counterparts at Anfield or defenders who kept Mo Salah and pals in their pocket for the entire game.

And no manager award for Nuno despite his tactical masterclass against Slot, who was being collectively bum-licked by the entire media last week (including Deeney) for his “genius” outfoxing of a poor Man Utd side.

As said, just a tongue-in-cheek whinge! My butt isn’t hurt too bad!

How did JWP do? I'm willing to wager he will level the Beckham free kick record for you .. everytime he lined one up for us the pundits would mention the record as the ball narrowly missed.

I say his goal from a corner leveled it...was a "free kick" but no doubt will score a few for you guys

On first glance I thought it was a yellow, but the moment I saw how high the challenge was I had no doubt whatsoever that a red was the right call.

Stunned that a former pro, a striker at that, should think otherwise. But I place Michael Owen in the Gabby Agbonlahor bracket when it comes to punditry.

Is that the Stephens tackle ?

Clear red , high and dangerous

And Agbonlahor has a bracket all on his own
