The boring answer is it’s just a bit of fun, started as a one-time gag which has now become a ritual, getting more elaborate each time. In the same way the guys have the “were loose” call and response, “it’s got nil nil written all over it”, “I’ve got a feeling about this one”, someone making a prediction which is obviously going to correct (“it could go either way or be a draw”), someone asking if it’s POTG, someone saying they expect to wake up to find 3 points in the bag, and jokes about Georginio not playing but Rutter being available.
It’s a bit of fun on match day with bonhomie and camaraderie between us fans.
And I hate that I’ve had to break character to explain that.
COME ON THE DOLPHINS!!!
(Edit: yes I know we aren’t called The Dolphins, that was another little bit of fun there. Oooh, cheeky!)
For me it could go either way. Or be a draw.

Now you’ve gone and done it. 0-6 to Vulvas. End the match thread NOW.

Especially not when we're playing a team down the bottom!
How do you know they ARE pretending?
But no, post #43 explains. "Just kids mucking about" as Crocodile Dundee would say. All part of the ritual.
EDIT: This next game could be season-defining. (Don't think anyone's said that yet).
Exactly I’ve been to all the right grounds but not in the right order.
.... and another thing that will happen: It's all light-hearted fun and banter at the moment, but once the match kicks off the mood always darkens, and the posts are all "What's FH playing at?", "Dunk's past it", "Ferdi's a liability", "Hinshlewood isn't PL quality", "We're getting destroyed here", "This is awful!"
These too are all part of the ritual!

I've been to a lot of the wrong grounds in the right order; the converse is also true.
I think.

I’m keeping my feet on the ground and head out of the clouds, Forest are doing well but I’d be delighted with mid table between 9th and 13th this season, so with that crack on BHA get the win today and continue to rattle cages, I’d be more than happy for BHA and Villa to battle it out for 4th place this season which is achievable in my opinion.Ah Mr. Tricky Tree, but the question is, looking at the table this morning, do you want us to win?

The one I could never fathom (truth or lie) was @Solid at the back with his "game over" when we went a goal down in the first 20 mins.

3 -3 today. I can't help but see Wolves scoring a few with Steve Bull and Andy Mutch starting. I predict that Stefan Iovan will bail us out with a hat trick though.
