    It's after midnight and therefore Tuesday...and I have questions.

    Will we go 3 at the back? Almost certainly.
    Will Clanger and both Scrappy Doos play? Definitely.
    Will we be watching us defend through our fingers / from behind the settee? No question.
    Will Porto continue being generous having gifted us 2 penalties and an own goal? Probably not.
    Will we have worked out how to have shots on target that don't involve Williams? I fucking hope so seeing as he probably won't start tomorrow.
    Will we solve the problem of the gaping hole between the 9 / 10 and the DMs who don't want to run with the ball? Miracles do happen.
    Will we continue to rely on the double marked wingers who always cut inside onto their stronger foot rather than attempt to beat their man / stretch the defence? I expect so.

    0-0. AET. Forest win on penalties. After which there are so many references to 'this is exactly what Forest didn't need ahead of Sunday, but at least they'll be taking the momentum from tonight with them...

    I can 100% guarantee that Williams won't start tomorrow. Wild guess, but Dave's been getting into the spirit by indulging in Porto's finest export.

    Indeed. Had a Majestic Wine delivery earlier. Wasn't expecting it until Tuesday. Mrs Rave and I might have had a taster. And yes, Portugal was involved, albeit LB7 (Lisbon) rather than Porta6.
    Happily Majestic have cut the price of LB7. But Monday night drinking is obviously wrong, kids. Even if you're retired. At least my tolerance has nosedived in the last few years, meaning whilst I'd quite like to drink more it does at least save money, keep my weight down and stop me feeling quite so shit the next day.

    I will also 100% guarantee that Williams won't start tomorrow...
    Or any day this week.

    So you think we will rest Williams against Porto so that we can not start him on Sunday? Or are you one of those maniacs who think the week starts on a Sunday?

    Hmm. You make a good point.
    Replace 'any day this week' with 'week day'.
    At least I don't think the game is tomorrow.

    Not two nights running. Maybe tomorrow to accompany Bayern stuffing Real Madrid out of sight.
    Hopefully.
