Pep ball bores the hell out of me and verges on anti football. The modern big club is more about global capital than it is 11 blokes playing football. Players have too much power and money and a lot of them seem more interested in social media and their haircuts than playing. The match day experience at the likes of Man City is tailored towards the tourist. It’s so unbelievable naff and a joke. But one day those who experienced football pre 2005 (arbitrarily chosen) won’t be around and it will all become the norm and accepted. Really depressing… but at least we stuck one up at them all in 15-16 with our more modest approach.

The need to sack Puel was clear, but he was appointed by Vichai and possibly Top didn’t identify with Puel very strongly. In contrast, Top appointed Rodger’s and he won the cup for Top and I think that led Top to keep him for way longer than he should have (cup was father’s dream etc). I would like to think Top doesn’t have that sense of loyalty to Cooper and he can make more of a pragmatic decision based on the fact that the Blooper has been shown to be total dog muck.

Exactly. We cannot waste a good run of games where can pick up points on Steve Blooper

He would have been more cut throat with Rodger’s and we’d still be in and around European places so we wouldn’t have got ourselves in this situation. But I think he’d get rid of Cooper in the here and now - the results and performances are one thing but he just doesn’t fit. We’ve gone up a league, but somehow got a poorer manager - I can’t imagine Vichai letting that happen. I Genuinely think Enzo with last season’s squad would do better than Cooper this season.

Much like the club in some ways

Haha it’s a nearly a shot on target every 4 mins (factoring in playing 100 mins with time added on)

Is Cooper being arrested or something?

Took the words out of my mouth

One positive is that Hermansen’s value increased after his performance. No doubt Cooper will try and sew a narrative of bad officials and proud of nearly getting a point - but it was a freak game and it should have been 5-0. We got a deflected header and a worldy. Nearly a very freaky daylight robbery, but certain things we're all concerned about aren’t improving.

It’s the hope that kills you with us

Not sure why Reid is coming on. He’s dogshit

This is the sort of situation where bringing Ayew on may not be a bad decision

Eh?

We’re going to make a fortune on Mads. He’s absolutely top draw

**** me JJ

We’ve become really good at giving the ball away cheaply in forward areas. About what I’d expect with this functional clueless plodder in charge

More shithouse deflections would be nice

It’s so predictable. Our inability to keep the ball is pretty poor. Different league from last year I know, but seems we’ve regressed hugely in that department (and many others). BOOM - back in it!

Cooper never plays 2 out and out wingers

Nice to see Skipp starting. Quality player imo

Scenes when Rudkin appoints Steve Reed the Labour environment secretary by mistake

I can’t tell from your posts in the last few weeks, but do you not like Steve Cooper?

At last a ‘come get me’ plea from someone credible

Assuming this quote is real and reading between the lines a lot of what Cooper says reeks of ‘please don’t sack me’…

I’m sure I’ve read on here or a Forest fan has told me that Cooper leans toward only playing 1 out and out winger. If Praet was still at the club no doubt he’d be played down a flank 🤣
