    Watching the tv coverage before we go out. Paul Hart doesn’t seem so sharp nowadays. Hopefully just a bit of noise and couldn’t hear.

    I thought the same in the ground. Hope he's OK.

    Seems pretty lucid in this clip.

    That was the interview that made me worry. Doesn’t answer any of the questions, really, just gives formulaic replies that he’s obviously familiar with. But obviously, I know nothing.

    Ex-manager gives formulaic responses in interview shocker.

    Watching MOTD. Jug ears just reminded Joe Hart and Micah Richards that the last time Forest beat Citeh was the FA Cup in 2009 (and they were both on the losing side). It reminded me of another Webmong7 story. He messaged me the morning of the game. He was driving up and 1 of his mates had dropped out.

    Cheers - I had that spare ticket off him! Appreciate your sacrifice.

    Apparently Ruben Dias complained about the pitch being too dry. Same argument Pep made last year. What a bunch of mardy cunts. We beat you. Get over it.

    Pitch was watered extensively pre kick off.

    Was it the right sort of water?

    Pretty poor form, trying to make things difficult for them.

    I imagine pep is furious that we try to score when we get the ball, instead of pissing about with it and passing it back to our goalkeeper, as his modern blueprint for football demands.

    I had a quick look at the City subreddit yesterday and they were all complaining about exactly that. Pep's tactics, not our refusal to do same.

    Something annoying me about the reporting of the game where certain sources are using the cliche of “ not one for the purists”

    Surely it was one for the purists. I thought it was tactically fascinating and both sides actually executed well.

    Agreed. The ADHD generation, aka Russ, have been taught that unless everyone headless chickens high up the pitch without the ball, then has a meaningless thousand touches with it, its not good football.

    Those of us old enough to have seen really good football, know that's bollocks.

    In the first half was it the City fans (who created decent noise) singing about the shit atmosphere at the Etihad (I forget the actual chant)?
