The Footie Thread

You speak like I don’t know or understand football…

Certainly wasn’t meant to come across that way

P45 for Ange?

Speaking of Forest having a good season, battering Spurs so far

Goal keeper needs to be taken away for a wee chat for that one, no mans land there.

The number of wins from losing positions suggests to me that they aren’t as dominant as City have been in recent times, or Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea further back.

That being said they’ve been worthy of the title and Slot’s impact has given the myth of Klopp a battering.

Indeed. Makes me chuckle

Myth of Klopp ?

Slot has done well with the foundations put in place

In the same way that Shankley built the foundations and Bob took it on

Was a big rebuild last season with a significant change in the midfield and took a season to bed.

Honestly Phil you really do need to learn how not to take the bait every time

Just thought it was an interesting quote

Excellent , we can still finish above them and you guys with a bit of luck which is how ridiculously tight the table is

Bit rich of the deluded Ozzy to take off both his CBs at half time when his tactics refuse to allow a team to defend

Dunno about the other one, but Romero was getting a second yellow if he’d stayed on much longer.

Looks like no VAR at the moment due to a fire at Stockley Park - wonder if Coote has a party going on there

No idea why Spurs are playing Tel instead of Solanke and Richarlinson instead of Johnson

edit - great clearance

Harry Toffolo with Murillo vibes.

27 minutes of added time coming up.

 

[Don Barzini]

Phew. Not gonna lie, had a bad feeling about tonight.

The race for those CL places is bliddy tight!

I believe (though don’t quote me on it) that all of us have games against each other and/or “top” sides.

Forest v Chelsea is last game of the season for us two. Could potentially be massive.

Christ on a bike, there’s a thing called an “XG Timeline” now?!?!?!

What the heck is that

xG seems a complete nonsense

Was it a Newcastle where they scored 3 or 4 but their “xg” was lower than the other team who scored 0

Yep. If Forest achieve nothing else this season, we've made a mockery of every punditry stat other than actual goals scored vs goals conceded per individual match.
