    Why do you think it says THIS IS ANFIELD above the tunnel? Not to rouse the home players, but demoralise the away players as they know they'll spend the next ninety minutes in the sort of racket Al Capone would think was a little too blatant

    To remind the coaches to keep one hand on their wallet at all times.

    The race for promotion from the Championship is getting exciting now after Bournemouth got a 3-3 draw at Swansea after being 3-0 down. Forest’s win at Fulham is huge as this puts automatic promotion in their own hands as they still have Bournemouth to play.

    For a guy that missed a couple penalties in the same game recently, Benzema had some absolute balls of steel to hit a panenka in a CL semi final.

    Great game of footy too.

    Maybe it’s because of my age but I’d love to see Nottingham Forest back in the Prem. Them and Sheff Wed always remind me of my childhood

    That would likely scupper any chance of signing Brennan Johnson, barring a buy-and-loan-back deal

    He’s only got a year left on his contract hasn’t he. So if he doesn’t sign a new deal then he’ll probably leave this summer

    Wouldn't surprise me to see Forest try and get that last year out of him if they come up, though

    Yeah possibly, although if the rumours are true and Newcastle and West Ham also want him and a club bids £20million, would they turn that down even if they’re in the PL

    We should offer £15m and a loan-back for a team that'll be battling relegation

    I mean we already did that with Pape Matar Sarr...

    Until my generation and those before me die out,
    there will be a set of supporters who fondly remember :

    - the Forest of 1979 and 1980
    - Cloughie, as a law unto himself or in combo with Peter Taylor

    One time I was asked for ID at Argos, I simply replied that I remember Wimbledon being in the Premier League

    Judging by their response, I'm amazed they didn't call security on me for thinking I had dementia...

    Modric, Bale, losing 4-3 to Man City at the Etihad in the Champions League...
    Get your own ideas, Madrid. <grr>
    They even had an old striker score a controversial goal for their 3rd.
    They'll be using VAR to knock them out in the 2nd leg, next.

    For anyone that missed it:


    Jesus' Please Don't Sell Me To Arsenal campaign continues.
    Not sure about the Blue vs Blue kits, though.

    City have failed to win 8 Premier League fixtures this season, so far:

    They've done it against 4 teams alone, dropping points in both the home and away games.

    We've beaten them more times this season than the rest of the league combined. Bizarre stat, really.

    Livramento is expected to miss the rest of the year for Southampton:

    Terrible news. He was having a very impressive breakthrough season.
    Hope he has a full and quick recovery, despite the prognosis.

    That point could be massive but all the momentum is with Forest now. Bournemouth were lucky to even get a point in either of their last two games.

    Mental that.

    Though big refs calls cost them both times v LFC.

    Momentum always seems more important for these things than quality.
    Sometimes a team missing out on automatic promotion can kill their morale, too.
