APRIL FOOL'S DAY RUMBLE - SCUM AT THE DOUBLE. (A Match thread)

I dunno. I kind of enjoy Yates even when he's being a tit (in your view).

The one time I bet on a Yates yellow (a double with Casemiro) is of course the one time he doesn't get one...

I don't mind him buying free kicks. I do mind him blatantly taking a dive and then appealing to the ref that he's been punched. We're better than that.

Fernandes is a cunt for precisely that. Sometimes you need to out-cunt the cunts.

I'm Team Yates.

💯 Team Yatesy!

Croatia is a great place to watch a Forest game but I am bit fucked though. Wifey tipsy too. Add that and a Forest win Shady will be stalking my sexual exploits. Assuming we wake up in the right bed!

Bloody hell it’s midnight here already. Goodnight chaps and up the Big Red Croatian Loving Train!!!!!

Chicago: Checkered Red!!!!

Normally I might agree with you, but it was king rat face McCheaty fuck himself. He'd do (and did later in the game) exactly the same himself.

Great result. It’s all happening pretty fast…

It’s got to be damage limitation at Villa. Hopefully CHO is ok for Saturday? Hope Aina and Anderson aren’t crock. Moreno will be ineligible so will be go to a back 3? I thought Taiwo and Danilo were both really ineffective. Sangare looked alright briefly and Sosa was tidy.

Yatesy was fucking mint tonight. As was Nuno to be fair, as he had to make early changes as we were getting over run. Felt we had a bit of luck this evening but we deserved something for the effort we put in.

Not sure if the TV showed it but it looked like MGW and the Big Serb had to be separated after the latter fluffed a clearance and an argument ensued.

They did show it. Cue jokes about MGW picking a fight with the wrong guy

I tell you something though, Bobbs. I like to see that sorta passion, I really do

Anderson didn't look injured to me, but not sure if the TV picked something up. He certainly looked knackered.

And you're right about Taiwo and Barry. I can excuse the latter a bit as he was playing a different role. After thinking Taiwo was ok on Saturday he seemed to take a step backwards again tonight

Hopefully Brighton take out their weekend frustration on Villa tomorrow.
As for Taiwo - I'd say a combo of no CHO to pin Man U back the other side to Elanga plus us scoring after 5 minutes and 'retreating to shape' probably made him something of a hostage to fortune. We weren't going to race forward to support him but I thought he battled, chased and fought hard and kept De Ligt occupied.
But it is fair to say Fletch, that for me, he doesn't have a light touch for a big man.

It's the best attitude when you fight for what see as right, regardless as to whom you are fighting.

It was perhaps more fun to watch in the ground as I thought it was quite exciting and end to end at times. We were under the cosh more than I’d have liked but Man Utd were better than I thought they would be and moved the ball quickly. A brilliant result.

Tune.

Back three doesn’t solve the full back problem - don’t see any of our winger as wing backs - so it’ll have to be Toff. At least he’s well rested.
