    Bottom six at the end of the season.

    Fatty hopefully has to pay off the contract lively. There's only one winner here and it's not the owner.

    Their owner has a screw loose.
    What Nuno has done for Forest is little short of miraculous. It would serve Marinakis right if they take a bad dive this season now.
    Unfair on their fans though.

    Ange Postecoglou is expected to replace the sacked Nuno Espirito Santo at Nottingham Forest.
    Them to be relegated if so might be worth a punt

    Ange is worth having back in the Prem just for his personal entertainment value alone <ok>

    OK I was wrong :emoticon-0111-blush <laugh> it won't be the last time.

    Can we now have two good England performances in a row please?
    Serbia are the best we've played so far under Tuchel in a competitive game, but they're hardly World beaters.

    Just reading the BBC report. All about Haaland and his 5 goals, hardly a mention of the player who came on in the 2nd half and scored 4.

    Here's something to make you chuckle, if you can avoid falling asleep first.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/clylv9n2rmjo

    Why Manchester United are better than their results <doh> Even the title is nonsense.
    According to XG stats that would even send Mundell & SR into comas, Man Utd are a top 6 Prem team <laugh>
    I'm sure their fans will be greatly encouraged by that news. Especially the majority who live in the Home Counties.
    Last weekend when they scaped a home win against Burnley, you'd think from the reaction they had just won the Champion's League.

    Something called the International Centre for Sports Studies has compiled a list of the chances of various teams winning our UK leagues.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cly143xqpx8o

    What a waste of effort.
    A bloke in a pub could have given the same answers after five seconds thought.
    Utterly pointless exercise.

    Celtic are 63.3% likely to win the SPL <laugh> No, they're 100% likely to win it.

    Chelsea charged with 74 rule breaches regarding payments to agents etc.

    The Club's new owner's main defence seems to be that the offences happened under Abramovich.
    "Nothing to do with us Guv, we're completely separate from him - in fact we reported the matter to you as soon as we found out".

    Fair enough.
    The Football authorities should then say to Chelsea:
    We'll spare you any punishment, on the condition that you accept the removal of all titles & trophies CFC won under Roman, since you took on the first player where the rules were broken. (Hazard I think, in 2012)
    If Chelsea won't accept that, then they should be punished as heavily as any other Club previously found guilty of similar offences.

    West Ham United <applause> <laugh>

    They're banning Half-n-Half Scarves, and saying any fan seen wearing one at the Spurs game will have it confiscated!
    Bad luck for all wealthy footie tourists.

    West Ham's lame excuse is it will help with "security".
    Apparently a fan wearing a half-n-half scarf might end up in the "wrong end" <doh>

    Just picture the notion of a hard-nut hooligan kicking off at West Ham while wearing a half-n-half scarf <laugh><laugh><laugh>

    I saw a photo of the stall outside our club shop selling 50/50 Leicester ones the other week, I wonder if there will be any on Saturday?!

    Not 'arf

    (that's an expression you don't hear much these days)

    Seriously though, I doubt it.
    Shouldn't think many wealthy football tourists have Charlton v Millwall on their bucket list - unless they want to kick the bucket there and then <laugh>
