    What a chance. Both for Forest to win and for me to start a thread.
    How strong will we go?
    Will we miss Anderson?
    Will Cunha be fit?
    If so will we go 3 at the back and cram the midfield to offset Anderson's absence?
    Have I constructed this in a hurry?
    1-1. Having scored first and not quite held on. And suffered from the match thread being started a day late.

    I'd go with the team that started in Denmark. But the highlight will surely be Wood coming on to get a late goal. But will it be a winner?

    Even though the Denmark starting XI did well and the subs almost buggered it and even though we have Villa on Sunday I would be amazed if the Denmark XI started tomorrow.

    8hrs to kick off and we haven't had any travel reports. Is Shady not going? Pathetic effort if not.

    Jesus featured in Forest media build up, so we can assume that tall pizza wanabee isn't starting.

    Porto are favourites, but we're predictably unpredictable. We could be predictably shit, or unpredictably not shit.

    Last time, with home advantage, we beat them 2-0 with a brace of penalties.

    I am not unfortunately. Mrs Shady has to be in London today and tomorrow. I tried all sorts of things to juggle childcare/work etc but just couldn't make it work. I'm really hoping we get through, Bologna beat Villa, and I can go to the next one.

    Bologna is an amazing city to visit. I went last Easter, chatted to a few locals about football and they were kindly towards Forest because of the Dominguez link

    Also here. Arrived in Lisbon yesterday and train to Porto. Have picked up a car today as I'll be driving to Lisbon airport to catch the 7.20 flight back to Heathrow and then hot footing it to Nottingham for the funeral. Have done meet and greet parking at T5 so hopefully won't take long to get from the plane to the car.

    Feels like a nice mirror of the start of the campaign when it was fucking boiling in Lisbon.

    Having just counted up I make that tonight will be our 24th consecutive televised game since we lost 3-0 at Everton.
    And 42nd out of 46.
    I think only Poo, Everton and Burnley away plus Man Ure at home haven't been televised.

    It isn't overly obvious, but it has been thought of before.
