    Looks like there was lots of goals in the Israel v Italy game, I probably should have watched it, rather than being distracted by Solid. I blew the Scots out, no way I'm watching a behind closed doors game, had enough of that during covid.

    Been a phenomenal game. 3-4 now. Could be 6-6. Italian defence have been horrendous but their goals have been excellent.

    I doubt people would be thrilled if we scraped a win playing as Italy did against players of the calibre of Israel’s on a neutral ground. It was exciting because Italy’s goalkeeper and centre-halves were crap. Talksport would have a field day if Pickford got away with what Donnarumma did tonight.

    Looks like the big fat Greek has sacked Nuno. Bring on Ange.

    I can’t wait to watch the Ange circus from afar.

    Wonder if he will win Europa again

    I dont get.
    Who saw what transpired at Spurs last season and thought "yeah, this guy has what it takes to manage a premier league team to success" they finished 17th ffs.
    Yes they won the most dismal Europa League competition, probably ever, due to how **** the opposition was, but I dont see what Forest are seeing.
    The best thing Spurs did in the summer was sack that bell end. They will probably get a top 8 finish this season now they have a serious manager.

    They haven’t actually given him the job. It’s just what I’d like to happen. The league is better with Ange in it. I want Taramasalata waddling onto the pitch after they’ve lost 8-6 to Burnleh playing an innovative 1-5-4 formation.

    They should go with Mourinho, the leagues always better with him in it and it will allow him to further his ambition of managing every club in England.

    Looking like it may well be Ange, can see that being a disaster.

    Without doubt!
    The change in Spurs was immediate when he left, even in Pre season. There is no way that squad should have finished 17th!!
    When you are about to be in Europe for the first time in decades, why sack your most successful manager in years and replace him with a douche like Ange.

    There may be a subtle clue in the surnames ... nationalistic nepotism...

    oh of course, the greek thing.....Wont help Forest when they are staring down the barrel of relegation.
    Ange says he learned a few things from his time at Spurs, well for Forest's sake I hope what he learned was that football teams also need to defend, otherwise they are in for a torrid season.
    Unlike in Scotland, where, if you manage Celtic you just have to turn up to games and you still have a greater than 50% chance of winning the league, in the PL you actually need to have more than one tactic.

    Jose Mourinho is always a good watch

    I enjoy having him in the Prem

    Big Ange brings his own type of Bantz tho

    either way at least it’s not Gareth Southgate
