Bourbon Fox

How did he not hit the rafters?!

The horse comes in at CB Vestergaard is melted down for glue

Sadly, I think the plan and the ability to evolve it burned in that helicopter

What does Andrew Neville do?

Steady on!

I'd have taken a toilet upgrade

I first went to Filbert Street when I was single digits in age, I'm not sure exactly when. Early nineties. Columns of fans marching down Raw Dykes in a phalanx. Those not singing the songs were in a very small minority. 'When You're Smiling', 'Bertie Mee said to Bill Shankly', 'Once Upon A Time There Was A Spion Kop' - I learned them all walking to Filbert Street. Sometimes there was trouble, although it was rare that we were caught up because my dad, uncle, grandad knew where to avoid. There was a sense of danger though, and to my young mind an allure: 'they're baby squad. Come this way'. It was male-dominated. It was adult. It was white men, Asian lads and a few black blokes. It was not a family experience. It was an initiation into a set of rules that only seemed to apply on Saturdays, but which resonated - a group of 200 blokes can walk where they want and do what they like. There was still a socialist, working-class flavour that I picked up in the pubs and the groups. We were shit. The place was shit. From the double decker I would look down as the coins were thrown or incursions were attempted between the away corner and the kop. The Carling stand was incongruous, a harbinger of corporatisation and profit motive. A big pillar stood right in your field of vision. A man behind me pissed down a rolled-up fanzine. UPTON FOR STEEL. That will always be football for me, for better or worse. An outpost of anarchy landing in the middle of the city on a Saturday afternoon. I don't miss the stadium. I miss absolutely everything else.

Nobody comes out of the whole thing looking good - Haaland for throwing the ball at the back of Gabriel's head, the stay humble bollocks, Gabriel shouting in his face today - it's all so unedifying. They all need to watch the GOAT a lot more. A majestic eagle. Air guitar. Flag smashing. These are masters-level, doctorate moves.

The third is just... I don't have the words

This is absolutely DISGUSTING

He's out 👍

It's a shame Birch packed it in, he could have saved us from relegation

I reckon 5 motivated fat blokes would improve our playing squad

Anyone posted this here yet? Should put the 'Cooper got more points' argument to bed

What did they think was going to happen?

Cooper had Ndidi, Ricardo, Fatawu and Hermansen

Thing is, last time in the Championship we had Enzo and a better squad. It's going to be very, very tough to get out of there.

This describes way too many in our current squad

That's delicious from Mavididi that

Not for a private business

Username checks out

This is what Enzo was saying, via his man Ballague: that the internal structure of the club was lacking in ambition and elite quality. That's what Pearson was building - top-class coaching, sports science, scouting and recruitment. Ranieri benefitted from it and then started to change it. It was completely wrecked under Rodgers. Enzo saw the issues but realised that the board weren't on the same page and decided to go somewhere with the money and elite mentality to actually go places. We'll see if Ruud is able to change it, but the early signs aren't good and we've lost the revenue momentum that would have allowed us to fund it. We have pissed away our big chance, and I think that's the difference between Vichai and Top sadly.

Oh I've got endless reserves of moaning. Limitless. I can moan about the club, and moan about Forest, and still have plenty left for the terrible standard of driving nowadays and why do people leave bags of dog shit around Swithland Woods
