Yes…. Aren’t we MAAAAASSSSSIIIIVE (reincarnated)…

Enzo and Vards yes, but Vesty absolutely not. It would be a colossal error to have him anywhere near the squad next season.

“Hermansen, Hermansen dad dadadadadadada” To the tune of the chorus from “I’m gonna be (500 miles).

I’ve asked some distant relatives if they would, heard nothing back. Nan has sponsored £5.00 though, bless her.

I like Jobe Bellingham. In a better side he could develop nicely. He’s got size and stature like his brother, and I thought he had a decent touch too. He’s be great in the high 8 role. I don’t think Sunderland are in any position to haggle, and I do feel he will be on high demand this summer. The other link that intrigues me is, Hlozek on loan…… probably a completely stupid link, but the lad could be a beast. Big, quick, strong has shown promise of being a good finisher. The kind of coup were capable of pulling off, but do the finances allow such a deal?

You can probably get every highlight on you tube.

Mate, there’s barely anything that’s morally right anymore. Countries forged by tyrants, cities built by slaves, economies boosted by criminal money, and national security by corrupt arms dealings funding other nations wage of terror. You can try and live consciously and try to avoid supporting such causes, but you’ll probably struggle…… as I’ve said, nothing is clean anymore.

I’m glad Forest have stayed up. They’re chaotic, there’s no direction at that club, and as many have said they’ve been incredibly lucky to have been in two pathetic relegation battles that were over before they started, plus it gives us someone to better, and I fancy our chances against them in all fairness. There’s no long term plan in their owners thinking, and I can see everything unraveling for them next season. The bottom half of the premier league honks, which is why I’m hopeful if we get things right on the summer and recruit properly we will be decent, what we do have (and I’m aware that I said I thought we didn’t have it) but….. it’s clear that we’ve got a good bond within the squad. What we don’t want is the hierarchy to disrupt that, which is my concern…. Enzo has already criticised the communication, the club must learn from the mistakes over the last two years, I think a host of teams are set to struggle next year, but we’re normally better when we are up against it, and we will be next season which is why I think we will do well. I think Ipswich, Forest, Wolves, Fulham, Brentford, Bournemouth, the play off winners and ourselves will be battling it out to stay in the PL, but I do fancy us to eventually be fairly comfortable come the end of the season.

Norwich will go up I think.

I’ll take that… good start and that means nowt.

Sooo, it’s likely to be less?

9 points I think, reduced to 6.

Why can’t we do a dodgy deal to sell Seagrave to ourselves like Chelsea have done?

The NFL currently play league games here, and that’s set to increase over the coming years. NFL owners are now starting to take an interest in English football, and some are investing. We all say it won’t happen, but it will, it will only be a matter of time until Spurs start playing a couple of league games in the states.

Very much a rotation option for them. He needs a new challenge, and one that will get something out of him. Villa could be a good destination for him, but he’d have to accept that he will be a squad player.

Ben Johnson is a great shout!

You can’t play Injured mate 😂 one of those who will make a good pub quiz question on about ten years when everyone’s forgotten about him.

100% Forest, their owner is already having the statue built.

More than likely. The delay in the kit release would indicate there is a new sponsor in the pipe line.

This is the sauce I like!

What’s also important to recognise is the premier leagues inability to make a decision from the off….. they’ve pussyfooted around and it’s made them look incompetent. The fact we’ve got legal backing in now will aid us, because those who decide how to administer the points can’t just suddenly get it right…… they’ve started throwing their weight around without properly understanding their own legislation, which will comeback to do their legs. If Forest get all of their points back, then Everton will have to surely, a breach is a breach and that’s that, they can’t go around just making things up as they go along? Which is essentially what they’re doing. Dishing out points, taking them back, dishing out some more and then taking more back….. it’s chaotic…..

This is how I think it will play out.

You tend to find teams who do lose a “key figure” try to replace them, anyway, even if they don’t need them. But I do feel like they will struggle next season. Perhaps not go down but they will struggle.

Brentford will be in trouble, they’re set to lose Toney, and I can’t see who they get to replace his goals. Everton won’t be able to spend much, unless they sell big, and their biggest assets are in defence, so I can see them having a really difficult season. Forest likewise, they will be hamstrung too and will likely have to sell to buy. Wolves I think will be down there too, and I wonder if Fulham are due their struggle, every other season they tend to stack it. Bournemouth are another team I can see struggling too, they seem to fade away after a few seasons themselves. There’s normally a surprise struggler too, and Brighton depending on what happens with their manager and playing staff could have a poor season themselves. Then that leaves the three newbies. Ipswich will likely catch everyone by surprise initially, but then potentially fade as they won’t be able to sustain it at this level. Us, depends what we do in the summer. A few shrewd signings should see us right. I don’t think the deduction of any will be massive, and I think Enzo’s style will be better suited to the premier league. I’m optimistic, I think we will have a steady season. Im not convinced any of the teams on the playoffs will do any better either.

We won’t get a “huge” deduction, not when Forest are about to get all of their points back. If they do this then they’ve completely done their legs, and can’t justify taking points off anyone.
