[jcdenton08]

Jokes definitely get much funnier when you make the same one over and over again.

Still very quiet here…

Sky coverage has just started - I expect it will be Man City v Arsenal chat until 1.45pm then down to the Amex for our game then straight back to the City Arsenal chat straight after the game.
Think our match is an inconvenience to their Man City Arsenal coverage

13.35 and finally a brief medley of relevant highlights before an ad break.

Who's are the full backs for Forest likely to be?

I'm going in with an open mind watching from Ibiza

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Weather report … crikey it’s mild & humid.

Bird land?

Bird land?

Looking around, mainly blokes so far .

Hinsh in the middle is perfect. Allows Baleba to play very centrally, Hinsh can occupy the right central space but go outside too, Veltman inverting and stepping into midfield, currently looks our most sensible team IMHO (injuries and form considered). I'm expecting a really impressive performance today.

Ayari’s absence is illness related(apologies if fixtures)

What's with the jokes about going to pride park?

What’s with most of the weekly jokes on the match day thread?

 

[US Seagull]

I messed up and schedule a hospital test today not realizing that it's set for kick off. Hopefully I'll be home in time to catch the second half.

I didn't realise that both of them had been signed. Tough on Leeds fans.

Was it a BOGOF deal ?

Rutter needs to have a decent game today against a tough forest side. Hopefully 2-0

 

[Weststander]

The video montage before KO is still amazing.

Storer!

Yeah I was thinking the same - could be an inspired decision by FH.

I was sitting here musing whether he’s thinking much further down the road if he tries 3 at the back for Jack to be in that libero/CDM/sweeping role (and have Baleba doing the central midfield progression ) Sounds weird but the role doesn’t require speed just two very good feet and skill on the ball as well as football intelligence which Jack has in buckets.

Either way, I get the feeling he’s still working out where Jack is best to fit in.

Had no idea Ward-Prowse is loan at Forest. Thought he was decent last season for West Ham.

Not fancied by Lopetegui apparently, more fool him.

Three diabolical crosses from Pervis. Wake up.
