Forest winning today makes them getting a positive result more likely next week. I hope they beat West Ham, don't lose to Chelsea, we'll take care of the rest.

Want Forest to lose, we need as many scenarios in our favour as possible in play in the last week. Forest defeat today opens up the chance of finishing top five with a draw next week. A Forest win also means we still haven't even secured Europa League.
Yeah agree , I'd like Forest out of the equation today. They will stay play hard last day at home .

They'll play even harder if they have something on the line.

Agree totally. I want Forest to have something to play for on the last day of the season. It might make no difference, but I’m not willing to take that chance

Yeah, cos we always beat Man U... come on you Hammers. Conference League would be a massive let down from here.

Forest had something to play for last four games but didn't win any of them. With Bournemouth and Fulham now on the beach when they play Man City and our record of never beating Man U, top five has probably gone. We need to secure top six and a Europa League spot. That happens today if Forest lose.

Weird behaviour. We need to beat Man United, one of the worst sides in the league, likely after they've won a trophy and more time on the ale than the training pitch. If we're not looking after that, forget it.

If Chelsea beat Forest, then it doesn't matter what we do. Why on earth would you want a Forest side to lose even more confidence and have absolutely nothing to play for?

Agreed- I understand we have a shite record against Manure, but preferring to weaken our chances of fifth to protect sixth is odd.

And saying 5th has gone is absolute horseshit as well.

It doesn't weaken our chance of fifth. We can still finish fifth with a draw if Forest lose today. The argument that Forest will be better if they have something to play for is undermined by their current shite form when having something to play for. Having guaranteed group stage football would be nice, too.

It could be argued it's weird wanting a team to be in a position to catch us on the basis it means they'll play better next week, of which there is no guarantee.

You don't make any sense.
