Corker that, to be fair

Their pitch invasion wasn't quite as good as ours, it has to be said

Today will be a defining match in their season. Think they're basically safe if they win, but will imagine that Sheffield United (or their fans at least) will be well up for it. Think they'd view taking Forest down with them as a consolation for the season they've had.

Vegas seems a popular destination for promoted teams. Pompey are over there as well.

I read there is talk of them getting two points back. Ridiculous if true.

 

Hopefully they give them these two:

Could it have been Morten Spencer? 20 year old Norwegian from Leeds academy?

 

Match report also says "Morgan", but Morten does seem to have followed a lot of Derby lads on his Instagram:

Maybe you're right and it's just a typo?

Was wondering what players Birmingham have that might be worth poaching if they go down. Not too many, but I wouldn't mind us trying to get Koji Miyoshi off of them if they do. 27-year old attacking mid/winger with 7 goals, 6 assists in a pretty naff side, and he only has one year left on his contract. Had a glance at their forum, and he's one of only a few players that they seem generally positive about this year.

What a sad little man.

Seems to have held a grudge since getting sacked by them back in 2013, though he apparently applied for the Vale manager position back in 2017. Oh, to have been a fly on the wall during that interview.

This is an unreal level of pettiness:

Just seen that Brighton failed to score against Bournemouth in their loss today, meaning that this is their goal of the month, on account of it being the only one "they" scored:

Some of these drawings are probably quite accurate after the night these lads will have had

Looks like Bolton are up for it. 2-0 after 8 minutes.
Not that it matters, of course (I hope).

Looks like Leeds are falling apart (again).

Sheffield United have taken our record for most goals conceded in a Premier League season!

As things stand, looks like Everton might be pulling 7 points clear of Forest, leaving 2 from 3 of Forest, Luton and Burnley to go down (Sheff Utd look all but gone).

He is a Notts County fan...

Might explain the W8 D2 L2 record we have under games he's officiated, then

Interesting to note that the scheduled referee for Luton's next game is Nottingham's own David Coote 👀

What are they expecting to come out of this? Attwell loudly proclaiming "That's a clear penalty! Oh, but my beloved Luton Town..."?

Also, they tend to do this anyway on that Howard Webb "Mic'd Up" show, so this just seems like further posturing so they can look like they've forced the PGMOL's hand.

The plot thickens (emphasis on "thick"):

Nabbed this from the Everton forum:

Even Stan's not having it

Personally, I think Forest's best course of action would be to leave all of their completely valid and eloquently expressed issues with VAR behind by moving from the Premier League to a different league that doesn't use VAR. Any suggestions?

the VAR official? Famous Forest result gifter, Stuart Atwell. You actually couldn’t make this up. 

I'll be honest, I somewhat doubt Attwell is a Luton fan seeing as he's been allowed to referee six Watford games in his time as a referee, including one this season. I'd imagine it's probably a myth that came about after he wrongly gave Reading a goal against Watford when the ball had gone behind for a goal kick way back when he started his career.

Hilarious that Forest have actually Tweeted this.

So what are we hoping for in Peterborough's next game against Cheltenham? Points dropped so they're out of the running for 2nd, or a win so that they'll still be playing for something against Bolton on Saturday, but with the (relatively small) risk that they could take 2nd?
