Thanks, Eddie! Now all we need now is a bit of consistency & maybe we just might make the play-off's (In my dreams!! :lol: )

I'm back after my three match ban but this weekend's results are best forgotten. Wednesday were poor again against an awful Hull City side but at least we got a point.

Definitely best forgotten, especially Brighton’s result against Liverpool, John. :cry:

Our annual visit to the City Ground resulted in a fifth straight victory at Forest and the double over them for the season. Just in case you missed the result yesterday, Number 6. :D

I’ve given up posting about the results of our football teams, as it’s far too depressing! :cry:

Haha! :lol: No, I didn't miss the result, John...I was there! I wish I wasn't! SW deserved the win. Forest were just absolutely awful, & that's being complimentary! We couldn't hit a barn door from two paces! I wish I'd stopped home & don't something else. Watching paint dry would've been more interesting! :lol: At least your manager has finally gone, John. Maybe they can get someone in who will get them back on track...if the current owners don't interfere, that is! :|

I agree with you Eddie. The results are just too depressing at times. At least we're not hangers-on who support those that have plenty of money to spend on top players. :|

Anyway, good luck to all our respective teams for the remainder of the season! :D

I feel sorry for Eddie as he has West Brom as well as Brighton to look out for. Let's hope that fortunes change for all of our clubs in 2018.

I know this thread has about run its course, but I'd just like to say how saddened I was on hearing the passing of the great Cyrille Regis. A true gentleman of the football world, who brought so much joy to the fans of Eddie's beloved West Brom. R.I.P Big fella. :cry:

Yes, very sad, Number 6. RIP Cyrille Regis.

I saw him play. Such a shame to hear about his death.
This thread will never run its course, Number 6, as long as Sheffield Wednesday keep beating Forest. Up the Owls. :D

:lol: :lol: That'll never happen next season, John....We'll probably be in League 1 by then! We're not far off it now! Only 8 points off the regelation zone. Might be 5 after we've played Wolves on Saturday! :roll:
Oh, well. Always look on the bright side of life! :lol: :lol:

I, too, saw Cyrille Regis play on many occasions. A great professional, who always gave 100% for the cause..unlike some of the over-paid 'stars' of today who claim to be footballers! :roll:

Great result for Forest today, Number 6. When I saw the score on BBC TV at teatime, I thought I was dreaming. You must be delighted. :D
