Literally a racing snake...

This made me 🤣  Sorry about the swear word 🤐
 

F*** me, it feels like I've aged 20 years during that second half!
Huge result. Not necessarily for the opposition or the performance, but the situation being what it is it's all about the results now and a win, and a clean sheet, in this game, is huge. Well done lads! 😎

If we can't beat Carlisle at home then we don't deserve to go up anyway to be blunt.

Agree. 
I get the fixture congestion line that's always trotted out with this kind of thing, but there are far better solutions than this. Why not increase the Premier League squad lists from 25 to say, 30, and make them actually play some of the vast amounts of talent that the Premier League clubs hoover up from the lower leagues?
As a point of reference, re fixtures - Man City played 61 games in total last year. Winning the treble. In 71-72 we won the league, and neither the FA Cup, or League Cup, and had no European impediments, and we played 60 games.

Quite simple then.  Withdraw the clubs from the competition.  

I have the VHS cassette of that season and yep they missed such a rarity. Poor Mel! 

Always found it really annoying that in the 88/89 season review video they missed his goal against Wimbledon 😡

It wouldn't be half as bad if it wasn't so utterly predictable. Open up a 7-point gap to 3rd? f*** that, let's phone it in and keep things interesting instead. Every f****** time. 
Mentally weak, and tactically clueless is not a great combination.

Forest concede in 99th minute. 

My three GR favourites are the entirety of the away play-off semi-final at Millwall, the two goals in 30 seconds against Leeds in our first PL game, and the Shane Nicholson Goal of the Century in the Cup quarter final against Sheffield Wednesday (all of which are available on YouTube btw).

Having only just discovered the saga of this thread I can only say welcome back Ed, and FFS, I think I'd prefer hearing Ed on commentary than reading some of the sh** we post here sometimes. 
Also, good luck to Sally, hadn't realized she'd left RD. Always thought she was one of the better presenters on RD tbh.
Re matchday commentary, I think those of us who grew up with Graham Richards have been spoiled somewhat.
