It appears to me there's a bit of a media wank-fest about Forest now, which being fair we have been on board with at different times over the last few years.  Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to burst their very short term bubble.

Our best hope is that their gods turn against them and that's a great place to start.

I thinks it's better that he plays, we have not done very well against teams when their star men have been missing.

Also, you can't be totally focused when you're protecting a wound like that.

MGW has a funny sort of 1970s musician look about him.

Looks like he'd be seen playing bass with Al Green, or a (terrified) member of James Brown's backing band on an episode of Soul Train.

Indeed, that is a horrible injury.

Jaysus, looks like he's bunged something so far up his hooter its split his head. Is he not concussed after a whack like that?

Apologises if this has been posted already - John Percey

"In a slight defence of Unai Emery after his much debated Villa team on Sunday..

Forest made 8 changes with a lot of players who have rarely played this season, yet still put in a big shift. Villa’s 7 changes were almost all senior internationals.

Risky tactic from both managers but the players arguably deserve more attention"

I suspect he would almost certainly have had his bell rung, but football is generally way too casual about concussion.

Not beaten us at home since October 1994. Lost all 4 since they came up with an aggregate score of 12-4.

have a feeling this will be either a famous or infamous night.  One way of another well talk about this in 30 years time (god willing)

Why does that mean he’ll be playing?
