Anfield Arseache. (A Match thread)

You clearly didn’t watch the game!

Or. Maybe. Just maybe. He's a twat who's writing crap to try and get someone, anyone, to engage with his weird personality.

Cutting inside and shooting with your right foot is no more of a "trick" than not cutting in and crossing with your left foot. So when people say why don't people learn his trick and stop it's like saying why didn't people learn Beckham's trick of crossing with his right foot. It's not a trick. The main people saying it is seem to be Chelsea fans who once talked him up as generational talent and are now trying to make themselves feel better by saying he's lost his pace and can only do one thing. £3M plus £2M in add-ons and no sell-on is an absolutely ridiculous deal. All we've done is get him fit and do a bit of good man management.

Apologies, I fell off the wagon.

Edit: was replying to Mr Shady but forgot to press quote

I presume you're thinking of his fumble. That is the only thing he did wrong and I loved how rapidly he just got the ball away after he recovered from that. Other than that he was pretty flawless and made some saves he had no right to. But what he really does well is command his box. Good shot-stopper, good kicker, but his special power is command of his area. Could we do better? Perhaps, but we should be careful because we could so much worse.

Isn't that what you do though mate? Post things you think are interesting to get someone, anyone to engage (even to the extent of telling us in detail about your testicles?). Seriously, give it up. We're both Forest fans, we both have more in common than we have in different.

To be fair Sels had some very good saves just a mad Matt Turner moment that made my heart drop in my mouth. Also a very similar situation to a year ago when Sels raced out of the box to get to the ball when Dias was almost onto the ball. Last year the yank spank completely cocked it up and Salah ran it into an empty net. This year the big Belgy boy got it right.

Also I honestly don’t believe he’s Pete. He seems more Walshy or JP to me. I always found it odd the angry drunken Scotch English barrister didn’t follow us over. The main issue Tricky has is that the identity is hidden. It’s probably a long standing joke by someone

So odd for certain but I don’t think his posts are that outrageous other than he likes his own posts which is bizarre.

Anyway back to yesterday.

FUCK THE SCOUSERS!!!!!!!! Cunts the lot of ‘Em.

Chicago: Still glowing.

I've met Shady a few times, he doesn't seem like a nonce but I guess maybe you can never tell.

Shady is a right weirdo. Although I can safely say he’s real.

Chicago: Not a turnstile Jumper.

He had a tonne of saves to make. And he made them. Look, I don't think he's Shilton, or even Samba, Navas, Hendo or Norm but he's a Premier league quality goalkeeper and bunch better than the tits we had keeping goal last year, who some of us thought (think?!) were good enough. The abuse targeted at me now all began when I started pointing out Turner was completely not up to it.

If you fancy a pleasant 40 minutes, listen to the pre game "opposition viewpoint" on Forest Focus podcast.

Like this...

Ola Aina's "cheerio" is a thing of class. We have a really likeable team all round now, I reckon. Obviously excepting Yates (to the opposition) and Sangare (to certain fans).

I thought it was good and fair with decent analysis. Just wrong in hindsight.

Troy Deeney’s team of the week on the Beeb site includes two Ipswich players and 0 Forest.
