The Footie Thread

[Captain_Black.]

Football in general has a huge problem with costs / recruitment & quality.
There are in my opinion very few genuine quality players available, especially for the lower placed teams.
I watched the Spurs game the other night, they were abysmal, the worst Spurs team I've ever seen.
There are too many very average players commanding ridiculous transfer fees & wages.
Most of the genuine quality players all play for about 4 teams.

2 of the supposedly best run teams in the Premiership (Brighton & Brentford posted an operating loss for 24 / 25 of £150 million & that is after selling several of there better players.

Living in Nottinghamshire and listening to the tricky trees fans. One moan that keeps Coming up is EDU. They think he has wasted money and the club has gone backwards.

This is a huge part of the issue, but everyone is to blame.

The best we can hope for is that the club gets liquidated and never plays another game of football so I don't have to have it ruin my mood week-in-week-out.

Vitor Pereria is the number one target for Forest apparently, probably keep them up and then fill the squad with absolute dross like he did at Wolves. He's put us back years.

I wouldn't be concerned about this. He won't get that power at Forest if he comes in.....Edu will do it for him

What I will say, without trying to wind you up...is that Wolves are by far the worst Football team I've watched in a long time (Forest aren't far behind mind you haha)....but if you could just get another couple of points to keep Derby's record in tact, that would be great.

I'm not sure this comes as a surprise considering we've got 8 points

Considering the red cards recently how did VAR not pick this up

It’s no different to the Simon tackle on VVD

And also this

Wasn’t someone sent of for a hair pull recently

Foden quite clearly should have walked for that.

The hair pull i can see being an honest mistake. Defender reaching out like they do as a ball comes across. Eyes on the ball and lets go when he realises I've got a hand full of braids rather than a shirt. I could give the defender a bye ball on that incident.

You could have said this precisely about the Keane sending off for Everton

Pereira to become Forest's 4th "permanent" manager this season.

I wonder how much each manager had received in pay offs?

Let’s see if he can get his career back on track.

More misses than hits at Arsenal https://sports.yahoo.com/every-arsenal-signing-edu-sporting-170000369.html, absolutely no idea on Strikers.

Makes complete sense what you say, except the PL said that was not a defence when Everton appealed Keans’s red card.

Edit: The reason given during the game was VAR stated they had no clear images of violent conduct to send the Ref to the monitor.

It was on Ref watch today and it seems VAR only had one camera angle

That’s a red for Foden Big club decision?

I've had to have another look at it. From memory I thought he was looking at him then had a tug. he hasn't. Hes gone up and tbh the same argument can be made. Hes put his hands out as they all do to feel for the player infront of him.
He was extremely unlucky to be set off for that and should have been rescinded.
