    This side is so vulnerable that GD might come back into it

    I’ve popped a couple of shadys on Chelsea to win by 4+ goals.

    I’ve just stuck a couple of fivers on us to win with Awoniyi scoring and some Yates foulage.

    Fuck it. This season is mental.

    You do all know that Chelsea have lost 5 straight and look like complete ass, right?

    It's relative. I'm not sure that they look ass-enough for our purposes.

    Only three players on the bench who shouldn't be in the team. If it was me, I'd set that bunch of players up differently (a 3, netz left wing back, bakwa right, and McAtee in front of Dom/Yates).

    A positive spin. We have too many games for the size of (viable) squad so we’re always going to have to chuck the reserves in at some point. So you either weaken the team every week or choose a game to gamble. The positive is that the first team have done the job so far - they could’ve easily lost at Sunderland and on Thursday. Then your still have to rest them but you’d be screwed.

    I’m not a huge fan of that side and it does worry me - but maybe it’s the selection that gives us the best chance in the remaining games.

    I agree, especially as all of Chelsea's wingers are injured. They're starting an Academy kids with two sub appearances to his name.

    Forest fans: I'd take relegation if it meant winning a major trophy

    Forest: You got it

    This is brilliant imo, playing Emery at his own game. Sometimes you need to take a gamble in life. Villa are shitting it, from my comprehensive poll of their fanbase (my mate Andy).

    I spoke to a villian. Also shitting it. They are clearly pumping laxatives into the West Midland water...that or they can hear the thunder of the oncoming big red train. By 5pm, after we've chipped chelski with the reserves, brum is just going to be a big pile of poo. [over to ingo]

    Yeah, it looks like a bit of a fuck you Unai message. Plus putting a lot of eggs in the Arsenal to beat West Ham next week basket.

    Wonder whether this team means Jesus won't start on Thursday.

    I hope Cucurella comes back with something nice after Bakwa sent him to the shops.
