Sunbury Fox

Can you believe his winning goal was almost 17 years ago?! https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=d439ec360ff152bca1ae85395c01ae7eddc2f0a33951b7c7e0175d8cda2b81bcJmltdHM9MTczNjg5OTIwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=055bfed1-f1ea-6c57-30f7-ed66f0896d8a&psq=barry+hayles+winner+v+Crystal+Palace&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhlZ3VhcmRpYW4uY29tL2Zvb3RiYWxsLzIwMDgvamFuLzI5L21hdGNoLmNyeXN0YWxwYWxhY2U&ntb=1

Need someone to step up with a Barry Hayle moment tonight. [One for the older members of the forum]

Have a horrible feeling that he'll start Ayew again ahead of Facundo. Really hope I'm wrong, though.

Any comparisons to our 15/16 team are utterly ridiculous. Prime Vardy v Chris F'ing Wood Kanté v Ryan Yates Mahrez v Elanga I could go on.

Interesting to see that Fulham outshot West Ham 22 to 4. Very clinical from the Hammers.

Hopefully that's the last point Forest get this season apart from in the matches they have left against Everton and Ipswich.

Fearing the same.

Fair enough but would never wish that lot good luck myself.

This is getting seriously worrying now.

Thinking about next season, if, as seems likely, we’re in the Championship, does anyone know what sanctions the EFL can look to impose? Will they have to wait for the 24-25 year accounts to be lodged ie until this time next year? Or will they have a legal basis to slap us with retrospective sanctions from the start of the season on the back of previous compliance failures?

But some media outlets are claiming this could still end in a points deduction. I don’t see how that is the case myself, but do others know more about the potential implications of this ‘arbitration’?

You always seem well-informed on finance stuff. Is your understanding that the £ for Barnes, Castagne, KDH and Enzo falls into the June 2023-June 2024 financial period? But not the £ for Maddison?

Nketiah is the obvious one.

Thought that sake was in the FY before this one but I may be wrong.

Am I right that in the FY in question we have logged the sales of Barnes for £35m, KDH for £30m, Castagne for £15m, and brought in £10m for Enzo, and we've still potentially contrived to breach the threshold? Jeez, what more are we meant to do?! Meantime, Chelsea "sell" their own hotel to themselves and can carry on spending £0.5bn per year.

What are the chances of drawing Man U away in both cups? FFS.

To be fair, that was a perfect through ball just now. Shame it was at the wrong end!

We've been largely poor in general play apart from 2 well-worked goals against the run of the play at the time. But as ever we have contrived to leak 2 goals. Will we ever concede fewer than 2 goals ever again?! Having less than 50% possession at home to a midtable Championship team when we're at pretty much full strength is really poor.

Stronger team than he picked for Villa! Guess he is hoping for a morale boosting win. If we don't get one, confidence will be through the floor, though.

Lol! I wondered that but think I've lost my sense of humour when it comes to Leicester City, mate!

Would be 7 changes to the Villa starting line up ie Justin, Vesty, Soumaré, Ayew, BEK, Mavididi and Vards.

Assuming it will be something like this: Jakub Hamza Coady Faes Thomas Skipp Winks BDCR Facundo Alves Daka

Any news on when Wilf is back?

Leicester 2019/20 after 20 matches - 42 points

Think that they only paid £3m plus £2m of add ons for him, compared to the £5m we paid for Ayew.
