    They are a well drilled team. They remind me of Pardews team that got into Europe. We didn’t really hammer or dominate anyone. We just got results.

    Crazy they have 40 points are in joint 2nd but if just shows you when you have the momentum.

    I mixed it up by accident. I thought it was about Chris Wood. Not Selz. He was useless for us.

    Wood though. He didn’t score many. But he is on a purple patch in a team that play totally to his strengths.

    They are a serious outfit... people are writing them off based on what exactly? Status quo?

    I'm thinking people should be taking them seriously at this point.

    Forest have spent 100m+ every year since promotion, in their first season it was like 20 players including all the ones on a free.

    This ain't no fairytale story, they've completely changed the squad using some morbidly obese Greek fellas money.

    You linked that before and I dismissed it.

    This net spend bollocks is popped out whenever someone wants to defend high spending, they sold a load of their old tosh.

    Doesn't really cover the exuberant wages and agent fees all these players cost that have added millions onto yearly costs

    Which Forest were rightly punished for as they completely broke spending rules.

    Idgaf about Forest tbh, but when people start making up this fairytale story bullshit I cannot stand it. Football fans are divs

    Btw we gave Forest £23m for a **** goalkeeper.

    Which goes to explain why Forest are ahead of us

    Our scouts use far too much crack cocaine

    Yes you’re quite right. People are quick to forget they broke the rules and took a points deduction to get to where they are now.

    Maybe we should have done the same last season as we were not getting into Europe.

    Remember we also sold Anderson for £35m which at the time seemed a lot. But he’s doing well.

    They took in a lot of players on free transfers on high wages. But then went on to sell a lot.

    Turnover of players is high. But look where they are. Can’t really argue with 40 points at this stage of the season.

    But I expect the bubble to burst next week.
