    Craven Cottage is a proper little old school ground. Good to see that clubs like that have stayed at their traditional homes, rather than moving to another soulless identikit sports bowl.

    I watched some of the Norwich game today, never realised what a dump their ground is, but yeh Craven Cottage, like you say proper old ground. One of my favourite grounds i've been to was Notts County, in the shadow of Forest, hard to believe they are a non league side now.

    Pakistani American billionaire

    Seems to have lost interest in the club tbh

    His son is chairman, but also chairman of their new business venture AEW Wrestling. Which is profitable and were he spends most of his time.

    Yup, designed by the same company.

    And clearly used the same architectural blue prints.

    Been to the city ground a couple of times back in the late 80's. Lovely ground and always had a great atmosphere. Forest were a really good side back then.

    Sorry 'bout yer fiver mate <laugh>

    Fulham caught my eye recently when I saw their new stand going up, looked pretty impressive in the drawings.

    They copy + pasted a stadium! <laugh> Some of those players are going to be very confused when they turn up at the other ground.

    Believe it or not, you’re actually 3 points better off than you were after 13 games last season.......with a better GD.

    How did a manager who could beat Carlo serve up that tame performance.

    he isn’t getting the best from a talent squad and Newcastle deserve so much better.

    Hopefully Benfica will take a leaf out of our book and put a couple in their own net.

    They do have Otamendi, so it's definitely a possibility. I'm hoping for an Adel Taarabt masterclass, though. Just for the humour value.
