    I got an email today about an evening with Ed Balls at Carrow Road on the 10th March, considering we may well find ourselves relegated by then it's throughly bad timing, plus I don't want to spend anything including my time with him!

    So FIFA has decreed that there will be a minute's silence before all PL games at the weekend and all players are to wear black armbands in memory of the players and coaches who died in the plane crash in Colombia and yet England and Scotland are to be punished for wearing poppies on their armbands. :steam:

    Idiotic dual standards. One is to honour those lost in a very recent tragedy, but just because the wearing of poppies pertains to many years ago doesn't devalue it or make it less respect-worthy.
    One can not be deemed more important than the other, both are to pay respects for loss of human life.
    About time FIFA was populated by humans to understand this <grr>

    I'd be half tempted if I were available. Out of morbid curiousity to see the end of Neil. I wasn't there for the end of Hughton or Worthington so it's a different fan experience!

    Forest 0 - 1 Newcastle at HT. Newcastle down to 9 men. Forest have missed two penalty shots. I can't help but laugh.

    Florists win 2-1 against 9 men. The 2nd Newcastle sending off seems a bit harsh.

    I'd be happy(ier) with a back line of Pinto, Bennett, Klose & Olsson.
    Shame Thompson is still out, but if Howson's back.....:emoticon-0112-wonde
    And Pritchard in the 'Wes' role with Lafferty up front, in view of Jerome's probable absence?
    With Oliveira and Morris on the bench <ok>

    Steady on Cromer - that line up would give AN palpitations - NO Martin and NO Hoolahan. Yes please!!! <ok>

    I wouldn't hesitate to put Godfrey into the back 4.

    But then he probably wouldn't play for the under 23s on Tuesday!

    Is it true he can also play as a DCM? I think he can play CB, RB and DCM can't he? If so, I wonder if to break him into the team, him and Thompson could be a solid Centre midfield base? Where all the pressure isn't on him as a last line of defence?
