The Footie Thread

[Arthur Wedge]

My personal opinion is that 3 games was sufficient, I get that other people have different thoughts, but for me he went for the ball and you could tell there was no intention to hurt him, it’s just how it ended up with the nudge and speed it happened.
Will be interesting to read the FA report when it comes out.

Taking emotion out of it , it’s a dangerous tackle and straight red which js 3 games

By going to 6 are they saying it’s deliberate

It’s hard one as I suspect a lot have judged due to the injury


One min I think 3 is enough and the next not sure

Mane got three and he was going for the ball so 3 prob should be enough

Early rumours circulating that Man United are in talks with Palace over a move for Mateta at a bargain basement price of £40m. Interesting.

 

[Don Barzini]

Always happy to see Hudson Odoi do well

Don’t think anyone could name a better £3 million transfer in the PL over the last season or so.

 

[Don Barzini]

Murillo made 10 (ten) clearances today and finished the game with 100% cross accuracy, 100% duel success, and 100% dribble success.

That’s our CB by the way.

 

[Aztecs27]

HUUUGE three points for Forest there! Come on!

Unreal effort from everyone today. Massive win. Fancied us to beat Arsenal and take a point from City, but will absolutely settle for it being the other way round!

 

[Golfmmad]

Yeah was upset to hear this. From reading a couple of reports it doesn’t sound majorly serious, thank goodness. Im hopeful that it doesn’t sound like a full blown “heart attack”.

Get well soon Stuart. Legend in my eyes.

Wow, not heard this, hope he gets through it OK.
He's a strong character so hopefully he'll recover soon.

aina on a free as well.

At least they didn’t say cut price…

Sorry, I’ll get my coat

 

[Don Barzini]

Indeed. Just hoping he signs that extension.

 

[nickjdavis]

Think that's Forest guaranteed European football of some sort next season and in all likelihood it will be CL.

Perm any 2 from City, Chelsea, Newcastle, Brighton, Bournemouth, Fulham and Villa for 4th and 5th places.

His contract apparently runs until 2027. Why would they sell him for a bargain amount?

There is loads of stuff going around at the moment, not sure how much of it is even remotely close to being true

It’s the same with us every summer, and this year will doubtless be worse.

As regards Mateta, I suppose it depends on a multitude of things. Player’s wishes and ambitions, club’s plans, and most importantly whether there’s a release clause.

But the early suggestion, and I accept it’s more likely that I will win this year’s par 3 event at The Masters, is that Palace are willing to do business at that figure.

Can’t see it, but that’s the rumour.

It sounds very much like Marca do for RM and Barca.
Make a story, unsettle a player who then has his head turned.

Key goal and then involved in the penalty for Nunez - coming up with some crucial moments for us

 

[Norrin Radd]

Brighton won ,,phew ,
Champions league is that bit closer now

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Well didn’t know that rule - because Soton had a concussion sub that allowed us to be able to make 6 subs

So 16 points clear - 70 points

 

[Pin-seeker]

Key goal and then involved in the penalty for Nunez - coming up with some crucial moments for us

He’s bounced back

 

[BrianM]

But should a keeper be going that high with his feet?
If it's the other way around, there would be a furore at the poor defenceless keeper and a minimum of 6 game ban.
If the keeper hits the player trying to punch the ball that fine, but going with his feet no it's not.

Just my opinion, not saying I’m right, the FA will soon tell us the reasoning.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

@Billysboots I'm a big fan of Mateta. If he is available for £40m then I'd expect a few to throw their hat in for him.

£40mil ?

That seems very cheap

At that price can see a number of clubs looking at him

Would suspect also Man Utd would need to offload a lot of their deadwood first due to PSR issues
