He always seemed to be a man of principle and conviction, who acted in the best interests of his constituents, and the wider, disadvantaged, public. When so many of our current politicians, whatever party they represe...

Re: Nottingham Forest tweet
Mmmmmm… My perception, for much of this season, is that many posters on here: a) feel there is a conspiracy against BFC by “the big clubs”, the PL, all media pundits, all refs, VAR, all media, etc b) have been critical of BFC for not vigorously and promptly complaining against the unfair/biased/corr...

Re: Burnley vs brighton.
I know there is a strong view that our misfortune on the pitch can all be laid at the door of dodgy refs, bias, and VAR.

I think it’s a poor decision by Forest. Not sure that we are in any position to profit, should the new manager do any worse.
And, FWIW, I don’t think Nino is that good a manager. Didn’t he recently get sacked by one of those identikit Saudi teams?
