Bloody hell what an afternoon! Got back from the World Famous City Ground about an hour ago and am absolutely buzzing!

Canā€™t think of a single Forest player that wasnā€™t worth 8 out of 10 or higher today. We just blew West Ham away, they literally couldnā€™t lay a glove on us (even before the red card).

City Ground was absolutely bouncing!

At any level in any sport, for a team to do something special and exceed expectations they need to have the right manager, the right players at the right time.

Iā€™m not getting carried away, but it really does feel like Forest have all three of those things in place - and an ambitious owner too. There could well be something special brewing at the moment. Iā€™m certainly enjoying the ride!

Oh and Iā€™m looking forward to us being on first on MOTD later (yeah, right!šŸ¤£)

Let's just enjoy it while it lasts. Maybe we can be a team that some of these super-talented guys actually want to stay at for a few seasons.

Indeed. I keep waiting for the wheels to fall off, bit until they do Iā€™m having the time of my life!

Gibbs-White and Murillo getting international call ups whilst playing for little old Forest hopefully will help them realise that the grass isnā€™t necessarily greener šŸ™šŸ»

Great seeing sides like Forest, Ipswich and Villa doing so well after real bleak periods. It goes to show football is all about cycles and gives us down in depths hope.

The lack of a proper number 9 has killed wingers imo.
Thereā€™s never anyone in the box in modern footy apart from Haaland.

Not many good ones about.
I absolutely get your point.....but..........have you seen the Newcastle goal yet? Proper wingers cross from Gordon, right foot on the right side, Isaak with a proper CF header šŸ˜. Great goal.

Oh, piss on my chips why donā€™t you pal šŸ„²šŸ„²

Unfortunately there is prob only the 1 maybe two clubs that donā€™t have to worry about players wanting to move on to bigger and better things

If the likes of Liverpool , City etc come in for Forest players then the players will leave - same as if Real Madrid come in for Liverpool or City players - high chance of them leaving

Suspect a Madrid will come in the summer and offer Murillo a nice contract and trophies
