Still buzzing after last night. For all those experts who said Forest wouldn’t continue their form after Christmas, there’s no sign of it stopping just yet I’m afraid.

Liverpool at home up next in the league and I’m going. Absolutely cannot wait. The atmosphere at The City Ground is gonna hit like crack!

Both teams have the chance to derail the other team’s season. Does that mean the match is “El Derailio”?! 🤔🤔🤔🤣🤣

I’m looking forward to the Forest Liverpool match. Two great teams.

Nuno/Forest have bought superbly. Picking up quality players , some with PL experience but all have great character. No show ponies at all.

Some of the players would have been considered fringe at there old clubs (Elanga, MGW, Wood etc) but are now showing them what they’re missing.

Forest safe from The drop with 40 points. 😁Chuffed to bits for the tricky trees. There form this season reminds me of when Leicester won the title. They won it on merit with players like Junior has just mentioned at Forest. Players that were not household names. Still narks me to this day those that suggest Leicester won it because the big four were rammel.

From a neutrals perspective a win for Forest v Liverpool would make the season interesting.

Re TAA. I don’t understand the stick he is getting. Away from the discussion of how good is he ( and that’s been done to death). He wants to leave and any player that wants to leave any club, let him go. And hopefully get a fee for him. That last sentence. It’s not as straight forward. If TAA leaves now, does it weaken Liverpool for the title run in. I think so. Do they keep him til the end of the season. Only time will tell.

No ones going to stop the train rolling this season now, might have a few bad results but you'll finish top 4/5 at worst.

Its doing it all over again next year - whilst also in probably the CL that will be the challenge!

You got much PSR room?

Should be a great game , Slot learned a lesson after the last match when he picked the wrong team by playing the players that traveled a lot for the international break

We have two cup games before though so that will tell us what sort of team he will play

But looking forward to it

Hopefully a repeat of 88 😁

At the time I posted how he was tip toeing around the edge of the box. A definite case of CBA.
Having seen the clip. From the outset. His pass his rammel. He gets back into position which was about 5-10 yds. He puts no pressure on the player with the ball. And I get that he don’t follow him Across the box as a player drops out into the gap. But his effort is shocking. Having said that. It highlights his defending. If he plays with that effort in Spain. The grief he is getting now is nothing compared to what he will get there.

At the time, I loved seeing Liverpool fans use this as an excuse for not beating us. All of them failing spectacularly to realise that we also had 12-13 players away on international duty - including Chris Wood who’d been away representing New Zealand somewhere in the South Pacific.

If we do the double on them, Slot’s head loss will be a beautiful thing to behold, after the disrespect he showed us after the last game.

South Pacific 😳 Pah you can get there in a couple Of hours. 😂😂
Joking aside unfortunately you will now find that as you are seriously challenging for the title and certainly the top four, the rubbish you will have to read and defend from the elite teams fans will only intensify. 👍
Hope you manage to keep it going and keep one of the established clubs out of the top four.

Agreed,Madrid fans can be brutal & it doesn’t take much for them to turn on players.

A bit, but I suspect we'll have to have a marquee, club record sale in the summer, which will help that. I was convinced it would be Murillo but Sky Sports reported we're working on a new deal for him?!

I will say this about next Tuesday...without getting carried away, IF (and it's a bit if) we somehow do the double over Liverpool next Tuesday night, we are firmly in the title race, whether people like it or not.

That said, ANY type of European football would be incredible next season.

Art, I’m not getting into the minutiae with you of whether or not the words he used in the interviews I’ve seen were disrespectful. You and I will never agree.

Important thing is, we’re in his roll-on deodorant of a head. He’s talked about us several times since and it’ll be great if we get another one over on him.
