    Nicknames definitely should be included in every match report even if spell check fucks it up.

    Chicago: Drinking now.

    Lord Prowse is clearly Vader

    Anyway, What's this "nil" thing?

    I'm glad Forest were able to stifle 40 year old Hollywood actress Mila Kunis. But Kudos to Chicago for joining in.

    Watching MOTD.
    No blame for Elanga and MGW for not scoring 1st half - good efforts on goal well saved.
    Fantastic defending by Murillo to stop Antonio after Felipe's slip.
    What a pass by Dominguez and what strength by Taiwo to roll the CB and calmly slot home.
    2nd half
    Great effort from Elanga but you don't score from there bar a Turner-esque calamity.
    Stupid from Phillips (1st yellow).
    Great effort from Danilo. Shame it was straight at the keeper.
    2nd Phillips yellow - hmm. Challenging for a bouncing ball. Didn't look late or reckless. Looked worse in slow motion. Oh well.
    Williams penalty - cast iron penalty. Not given. VAR is for big clubs.
    Didn't show the offside goal.
    2nd goal - great work from Williams and composure from CHO.

    How weird to watch MOTD. Either we've been on live or we've lost and I haven't bothered.
    Hurrah.

    P.S. The flick to feed Williams (Origi?) to cross for the 2nd goal was everything MGW dreams of.

    Was a bit puzzled why he put Div wide and Elanga down the middle when big T went off - thought we lost a bit of control at that point, with no focal point.

    I was screaming about this in the stadium. I'm addition Origi didn't track back as well. It was a very strange decision.

    He played Origi wide in an earlier game (can’t remember which) when we had no wingers available and he did pretty well.
    Also, Elanga has been possibly our best finisher all season (not yesterday obviously) so I can see the thinking.

    Bournemouth. And took him off when Boly was sent off.

    CHO has now scored as many league goals for Forest as Chelsea.

    Good stat. Has taken him around 20 per cent of the time to get there, too, although I suspect a much higher proportion of his Chelsea appearances were from the bench.

    Just watched the Sky highlights and saw the disallowed goal that loops over Areola.

    Given as offside, and Yates is indeed standing on the goal line in an offside position as the ball is pinged in, then again as the ball bounces up, but he doesn't interfere with Areola's flap at the ball, doesn't touch the ball, doesn't block Areola's view of the ball. Why offside?

    If both sides think the ref was hopeless does he take that as a job well done?
