Flaming june by BT appeared later on as the highlight soundtrack post B&W when the old sonys finally died.

Living on the border calender & granada I often miss going back to the 80s.

Read somewhere that they are mates? Got pally at a world cup or something. Could be Bo!!@ks of course...and probably won't make any difference. I do think the Forest fans singing 'sacked in the morning' to their new gaffer after 6 games is proper tinpot entitled nonsense. My good friend @mybloodisc...

But if you watched the games, you'd know he's been better than OK. This is your problem with never watching football; you simply don't see for yourself how good Walker has been this season. Burnley fans who watch us do not need to see stats to know this. I do watch football & I do think some of us ...

This was the match day 6 table under VKScreenshot_20251003_171959_Chrome.jpg I'm not sure what that's supposed to prove. I'm not comparing VK & SP or the defensive records at the 6 game point. The point I'm making is that KW so far in as been ok & it's far too early to call judgement on any doubter...

Jakubclaret

Early days obviously, but Walker has been one of our best players, as many people on here predicted he would be. Of course but is it wise to discredit any doubters at this point when we are only 6 games in especially on the back of a 5-1 defeat. Our defence so far has been anything but tight. We ma...

Jakubclaret

It’s still mad that anyone questioned his signing. Not sure I ever thought I’d see a better Burnley right back than Trippier but here we go. 6 games in with a -7 GD might offer some food for thought. That's not to entirely attribute the collective defensive unit it's hardly looking like fort knox r...

Until forest find a way of getting rid of marankis there will always be periods of turbulence. Marankis isn't bad for forest he's brought them success after years in the wilderness but he isn't a people person it's his way or the highway.

You are STILL not getting it are you? This is a thread about the relative merits of the three promoted clubs. Presumably based on stats showing we are making a better fist of it than most in the last 10 years. Where does it say it is a relegation discussion? So you have got the subject matter compl...

Jakubclaret

It’s irrelevant in the context of a thread literally entitled “The three promoted clubs. Are the actually good?” Unless you’re lacking in comprehension skills or being wilfully obtuse. Neither of which is a particularly good look. Like it's realistically achievable or expected within the context of...

How come we struggled against Spurs when Wolves, without a point, nearly got a win?

Looking like we gave them too much respect.

Word of caution it's only acceptable to talk about Leeds & Sunderland nobody else are relegation candidates & seemingly it's irrelevant what anybody else does.

Jakubclaret

If you’re putting in the same “pool” as teams that finished in the top 10 last season, you’re in for a pretty disappointing season. I agree but previously upon forum discussion bournemouth were mentioned amongst the likes of palace as possible relegation candidates it's not me personally placing th...

Appreciate fixtures have been tough for us but they were three seasons ago under VK. We had a hard run of really tough initial fixtures then, but when easier games came along there was little or no improvement. Exact same script eerily almost identical, faith was held on some of a upturn but nothin...

The whole thread and video is literally about us, Leeds and Sunderland. It's regarding the 3 promoted clubs.

I'm not interested in Leeds & Sunderland. I've looked at all the fixtures & results & performances & drawn my own conclusions.

We're the worst performing of the three, so far.

We are but let's not dress it up with the hard fixture bo**ocks.

Jakubclaret

As this is all about Leeds, Sunderland and Burnley, in what world have Sunderland and Leeds had the same fixtures that we have played? It doesn't make a difference brentford & bournemouth are in that same pool & I'd add wolves west ham before nuno. It's extremely important we take care of our own r...

Jakubclaret

A lot of comments on there from people who have ignored the fixtures played so far and just had a quick look at the current table. Or people carefully considering what our relegation rivals have done so far against the same fixtures we have played. You can't have it both ways play the hard fixture ...

Jakubclaret

My point wasn't about whether he should have returned or whether someone else could have done a good job. All I was saying is that he didn't leave them in a mess. By any standards getting 90 points isn't a mess, whichever way you look at it. You stated the reason they are in the mess they are in no...

Jakubclaret

To be fair to be fair, either way it was hardly leaving them in a mess! The mess they are currently in was down to the decision to get rid of him, rather than down to him! Depends which way you look at it. It isn't wilder the saviour or nothing the decision to appoint his replacement led to the mes...

Is there any evidence that the children of footballers/mangers suffer anymore than any other children?

I think childre...

They're multi-multi-millionaires though, moving their family around (if they do) is as easy as it can feasibly be. Same for players. They're living a level of luxury 0.0001 of people can comprehend. Or maybe I'm just skint! I know that I know that private tutoring is an option for the kids if need ...

Anyone can pick up an injury, or just fall slightly short of match fitness at any time. I don't see why Broja should be seen by some as a virtual right-off. Some fitness analysts on here who really don't know anything. He's not a virtual right off by any stretch but equally I don't subscribe to the...

Jakubclaret

He’s not going to take 6 or 7 months. He missed pre-season not an actual season. It's impossible to say how long it's going to take if he ever does fully recover. You are going back some way 4/5 years to his most prolific period at vitesse. Of course you hope everybody hopes but apart from that per...

Jakubclaret

Don't blame him going to Chelsea whatsoever - money would've been astronomical and you never know if/when that opportunity comes up again. As for his time at West Ham, I honestly find it hard to believe that'll be too arsed about his dismissal. Similar to Dyche. The pay-off will be massive, he'll a...

Please tell me this is a wind up, seriously we didn’t pay £20 mill for Broja? I just don’t believe Parker would agree to that or am I wrong.

Widely reported as a flat £15m if the £5m makes you feel better.

Jakubclaret

We did. It's difficult to work out the point of the thread Sunderland & Leeds will turn over teams we can't & we'll turn over teams they can't. Some posters on here were highly critical regarding Leeds & Sunderlands transfer business triumphing ours & as things currently stand they sit in a higher p...

Became a journo favourite because he’s somewhat erudite and his success in Sweden was a bit of a novelty for an English manager. But when you actually look at his record, there’s nothing really there - ok at Swansea, very mixed at Brighton (had a good season with them but also nearly took them down...

Jakubclaret

And Sunderland missed a sitter too at the end. THey thoroughly deserved their win, and had we played like that and got that win at Forest we would be ecstatic tonight. Give credit where credit is due I agree I think that Sunderland keeper is a gud un. Seems like there’s a lot of deflection going on...

Jakubclaret

I can't believe somebody on here earlier said that the fixtures shouldn't matter. Of course it bloody matters. As you say, easily the toughest opening fixtures. Sunderland have not yet played any top sides. In fact 4 points from the opening 6 games I think is what most level-headed fans would have ...

Jakubclaret

We need to get a certain amount of points across a season- why did Forest have to be one of them? People are overreacting for no reason it seems. City, United, Liverpool and Spurs were always likely to be fixtures we got nothing in- The other two we have won one and drawn one I think that's absolut...

Jakubclaret

Sunderland had an unbelievable transfer window, despite many on here claiming they were ‘doing an Ipswich’, and look like a decent PL outfit - mind they’ve been given one of the ‘kindest’ opening set of fixtures I’ve seen for a newly promoted club, including playing Forest 3 days after their game i...

Nuno appointed

Obviously been planned for some time to have sacked and replaced within 4hrs

Wouldn't say that such but it's been building up & nuno becoming available probably accelerated things. We'll never know but had nuno still been at forest would that have bought potter time.

Possibly because they didn't want to risk him winning that game.

Or to further ridicule the fans if Everton beat them it wouldn't look good in that eventuality bearing in mind some of the fans collectively led to moyes leaving in the first place & you'd have to say regressed since.

I'm not claiming anything. You are. It's MY opinion nothing more & nothing less. You know people are allowed them but you do often wonder on here at times.

But surely if you can predict every footballer who will get injured, when and for how long they will be out then Liverpool can ?

It's a complete lottery nobody can predict anything but sensible recruitment bedrock choices usually start with safer bets.

There is probably a jakubscouser posting on a Liverpool forum asking why on earth did we sign Leoni for around 25m and now he is out injured after making his debut for 12 months Difference being they can afford recruitment mistakes we need to box smart it's an uphill task to start with staying in t...

I’m just going off what BBC, Wiki and Transfermarkt have stated, but if you want to nitpick crack on. The point still stands, a 24 year old striker who scores only 8 goals in the Premier League over 4 years will still cost you *at least* £20 million quid in transfer fee and wages. It's absolutely b...

Jakubclaret

Some of criticism was balanced & measured in my view albeit raw in the aftermath of the defeat. It's not his fault he's unfit & had serious injury setbacks most of this career thus far. It does call into question though the suitability to be rehabilitating a player like that when our need is somebod...

Have we all accepted that he was never refusing to play now?

Why would that acceptance happen when the illness is in dispute?

I have no issue with the side selected to start but would have liked to see 2-3 first teamers on the bench. We have cried out for cover in every position for ages and now that we've got it we have to use it. It was a disjointed side and one or two defenders were so poor, lack of match fitness canno...

10000% agree, I know we probably wouldn’t have drawn Wrexham like Cardiff have but if we did, what an opportunity to get into a quarter final. We threw it all away to likely get our arse spanked away at City. Bizarre decision. Not from a managerial stand point of view it isn't it's more unlikely th...
