Forest are going to end up with 3 seasons in the PL despite being awful for two years

Still how long have Everton been awful, like Coventry in the past, just do enough to hang in 

That's what so annoying with the negligence of last season with us.

[Super_horns]

Wonder how many anti PL songs there will be at Everton!?

[LanguedocFox]

I have a feeling that after today relegation will be three from Forest, Luton, Burnley and Sheffield United. Everton/Dyche are just going to grind out results.

Singing "Sign On" to a Merseyside club- how is this still a thing?

 

****ing hell.

Think we deserved the win, even though we weren’t great.  We got a bit lucky with your injuries, although let’s face it Neto is constantly injured isn’t he! 

Yes you deserved it overall, never really had to get out if second gear. We combated well but didn't have the personnel to punish anything. 

 

Yes Neto has struggled in recent seasons with his hammys. I'd still want £60m+ for him though. £80m if he had no injury issues.

These pair are absolutely shite

[Raj]

These are both lucky that the promoted teams are so crap!

In another season they both would have gone down.

Pickford really is a poopy keeper.

Everton score

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Really can't understand Forest, they've bought so many player's spent quite abit, changed managers....but can't seem to dominate games and win constantly......why?

someone help me out!

Especially given the hellscape that is Nottingham at the moment.

Square pegs in round holes. Zero strategy unlike other teams who have come up and have a philosophy.

Seeing the replays I thought VAR would be all over that, was surprised it wasn’t given

I thought it was a pen, but refs hate Forest. Not even a lengthy VAR check.  Not intended, but Young blocked the cross with his hand, which should be a pen I think.

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Everton always seem to avoid the drop in the later stages....seems the refs have been told to be easy on them as they've been hit with points deductions 

[UniFox21]

Pickford being claimed for a worldie save when it's just twatted him in the face

 

And 2 abhorrent calls from the officials

Like Lionator said there's no strategy at all there. It's an one man show, Marinakis and his shady deals with agents which are under investigation. 

If Forest loses today (big if because Everton is equally bad), it's going to be a final day game decider against Burnley. Forest have one winnable game though vs Sheff Utd. Luton have 2 winnable games on paper vs Everton and Fulham and an "easier" run in. 

Everton's 90% safe but again they're so bad we can't rule out a total collapse even with the games in hand.

It's not a pen, should not be a pen by any rule. It's like 50cm close to the opponent and it's not even a shot at the goal. They have messed up the sport with these stupid rules re handball. It should be a pen only if the hand stops a clear goal opportunity. Bring back the rule as it was in the 80s and 90s, don't mess with fans and the sport.

Because the club and the fans still think it's 1979/1980 and they are a top 6 premier league club and should be classed as one

 

I'm pretty sure some of them still think Cloughie is alive and living in West Bridgford

Ashley young is shite isn’t he 

[Matt]

Atleast Everton fans can put all the 'PL is corrupt', 'PL is against us' nonsense to bed after today.

[copunk]

Hate to say it but how the f**k Forest haven't had at least 2 pens today I don't know, pretty disgraceful really 

[cruzFOX]

Forest can get back in this. There’s still time

[Md9]

Criminal these 2 will probably stay up again
