Re: Football
I've got no arguments with yesterday's result against SWFC. They fully deserved the win after a dominant display. Forest, on the other hand, will struggle this season. Our manager is forever rotating the squad, which isn't giving us a settled side or consistency. We haven't got the quality players to replace the ones that are dropped. Cloughie used to say "Always play your strongest 11. It's up to the other players to force their way into the team". Wise words.
Good result for the Seagulls, as well. Think they'll be there or thereabouts come the end of the season.

Re: Football
Wise words indeed from Cloughie. I've always admired him and he managed Brighton and Hove Albion 1973-74. A great quote if his was: "I wouldn't say I was the best manager in the business. But I was in the top one." Absolutely brilliant!
I hope you're right about the position of the Seagulls at the end of the season, Number 6. I also hope that you're wrong in thinking that Notts Forest will struggle. I hope that they and Sheffield Wednesday will be promotion contenders next May.

A great result for Liverpool, yesterday, a 5-1 win over Hull City.
Two family members, went to see the Norwich v Burton Albion, game, yesterday, Norwich won 3-1, and are now top of the Championship.

United back to winning ways after a stressful fortnight, thank goodness.

I went to watch my team 1874 Northwich in their game away at Nelson yesterday. They won 3-1 and it was a great day out. We're top of the North West Counties Premier League after 12 games. Non league football all the way for me

Re: Football
If you want last minute drama then watch Sheffield Wednesday. There have been late winning goals in our last three games, fortunately in two of them we were the victors. The Owls play at home to Brighton next Saturday, I've got my ticket and I'm looking forward to the match.

It should be a good match, John, which could end in a draw. What do you think?John Pickup wrote:The Owls play at home to Brighton next Saturday, I've got my ticket and I'm looking forward to the match.

Ahhhhhhh!!!! You called us Notts, Eddie! That's a cardinal sin! We're Nottingham Forest. Notts are our u fortunate neighbours across the Trent!Eddie Muir wrote:Notts Forest:D
Cloughie was a football genius. I met him twice. He was very down to earth & was a generous man, especially if it involved giving to charity. A real people's champion. Just imagine if he had stayed on as your manager. Brighton may have been double European Cup winners instead of Forest!

Looks like they've now got a side that'll challenge for the title. I have to be diplomatic regarding Utd, as my brother is an ardent City fan!Wayne Pyer wrote:United back to winning ways after a stressful fortnight, thank goodness.

Haha! No worries, Eddie. I've got so used to folk calling us Notts over the years that it's water off a Ducks back now! Lol.

Thanks number 6. Me too I hope Forest can pick up their results. One of my best mates is a Forest fan and shares your frustration with the team and manager.number 6 wrote:

Re: Football
Cheers, Deej92! Yes, your friend will understand my niggles regarding squad rotation. To be fair, we are playing more entertaining footie & scoring freely with this manager, but we are also leaking goals as we are scoring!

Re: Football
As the four meetings between the clubs last season ended with three draws and a victory for the Owls, another draw would be my prediction, too. However, if there is a victorious side, one of us will be happy, Eddie.Eddie Muir wrote:It should be a good match, John, which could end in a draw.
