    Apologies if this has been posted but you may recall Nick Miller was the Forest fan who said we were boring and he hoped we didn't go up or something of similar stupidity. His latest article entitled 'PREMIER LEAGUE TRANSFERS – THE BEST & WORST' is concluded with:

    "Every penny spent by Hull

    George Boyd, Maynor Figueroa , Curtis Davies, Ahmed Elmohamady, Allan McGregor, Steve Harper, Danny Graham. Now, some of those might turn out to be perfectly decent buys…but…well, as a whole, they’re just really so very dull. The unkind might say that was appropriate for Hull – I could not possibly comment."

    Now I know this is bound to be intended to just piss us off because of the reception he got to the last article where he slagged us off, so we should probably just ignore it but it's a slow news day and I was surprised I couldn't see anyone else having posted it.

    It's up there with the worst football articles I've ever read, and I don't just say that because he has a pop at us, Kolo Toure as one of the 5 best signings this window? I wouldn't put Jovetic in either given his £22 million price-tag. As for the 5 worst; Kone, Schurrle, Mannone and everyone we've signed? I can think of many far worse recruits, I wouldn't put any of the aforementioned anywhere near the worst signings of the window.

    The article is here http://blog.betsofmates.com/2013/08/transfer_review/ seems like some ****ty blog so one can only hope he's no longer a regular writer for any reputable site.

    Of course he is saying it to piss us off - he's a ****. What do expect?


    I'd love to meet him.

    I couldn't give a **** what he thinks. Nothing he puts is going to affect our season so it's best just to ignore him.

    I’m glad such a **** hates us so much.

    We must be slowly eating away at him - great stuff.

    Forest will fail yet again too.

    You know it's bad when you support a club living in the shadow of Leicester...

    What a **** <laugh>

    I mean, our signings are a bit uninspiring from a neutral point of view I understand that, but it doesn't excuse the ****itude.

    He's a cock. Surprised nobody has commented yet? Figueroa was one of the best left backs in the PL last season, I'm sure someone put the opta stats up. He's well balanced, at least he has a chip on both shoulders!

    The main flaw is all he says is that they're 'dull', not that they're bad players. Which is incredibly stupid given the article is supposed to be the best and worst signings, not the most exciting and most dull signings. He even went on to say he would exclude Sagbo as he was a little bit interesting. <doh>

    I don't mind people slagging us off but surely they can do it better than this.

    He wants page clicks. Don't give them to him.

    the ****er probably gets paid on the number of page clicks.

    Why doesn't somebody tweet him/email him? I've had a look but I'm a bit ill-twitterate. Or whatever pun you can make from being **** at using twitter.

    A number of City fans have tweeted him, not as many as last time but a still a fair few.

    we're in the BPL... HE isn't.
    poor little boy.
    Best thing you can do is: feel sorry for him.

    I wonder whether he considers Jack Hobbs to his beloved Forest a bad signing because it's 'dull'?

    It's been asked, he didn't reply.

    @NickMillerF365 @BetsofMates You're the most clueless, talentless ****wit of a journalist since Piers Morgan.



    <laugh> That's gotta hurt! Piers, that is.

    He's actually in Leeds, which might explain his stance...

    Nick Miller &#8207;@NickMillerF365
    Right, desperation time again - anyone in/around Leeds fancy a game of 5-a-side tonight? 8.30 at Goals on Kirkstall Rd. Ta.

    Originallambrettaman &#8207;@origlambman
    @NickMillerF365 I'm only half an hour away and I'm up for it, as long I'm on the opposite team to you? #mightneverwalkagain

    Nick Miller &#8207;@NickMillerF365
    @origlambman You know, I think I'll pass, but thanks for the offer.

    He's clearly a bender. He needs taking down a peg or two. Perfectly reasonable offer OLM!
