Other clubs' transfers

It's a terrible idea and I want him at Forest.

I think he is terrific and a great option if Taiwo gets injured and vice versa. Sure he's made of biscuits but I think he would be great.

Chicago: Feeling the sadness.

Yup. Went to Werder Bremen. Wanted to come to Forest because he's a boyhood fan from Mansfield, but Derby wouldn't deal.

Just wanted to say that Wolves really are fucked aren't they? Who is going down with them and Luton?

Sheffield United

Fingers crossed. We just need to make sure it's not us. Easy to fall into the 'cracked it' trap after one season up and presume there's at least three worse sides to finish below you. That said, Forest uploaded a video of training earlier and they do come across as a genuinely tight group who like each other, which always gives you a chance.

See the posts on the other thread. I don’t think complacency is going to be an issue. There will be some bonehead fans that think we are worth a top half/cup run. I’ll be pleased with 17th and delighted with 15th…

Did anything ever come of Everton's speculatated points deduction?

Not that we should have to rely on other team's (more than our own) abject shiteness and / or misfortune, but, on balance, I'm still fot it.

Duly noted. For clarification, I’ll be happy with 17th if we’ve somehow managed to avoid the relegation drama well in advance of that. I do realise that it’s mathematically unlikely to come 17th and avoid relegation drama.

So, maybe I should have said “I’ll be happy to avoid relegation drama.”

Bottom three cut well adrift with about 10 games to go you say, i'll take it

It’s talkback. Playing with heads is what it’s all about.

Anyway “Avoiding relegation drama” (ARD) is my official position. I will come up with more precise criteria but Dean has it about right.

Thank you for clarification.

I didn’t say it was likely. I said it’s what would make me happy. I agree that ARD and 17th are essentially mutually exclusive.

If that's looking likely to happen, I suggest we hire Hooters for a final day party.
