Serial Whingers Notts Forest playtime, which we simply cannot accept.

That's because they've already spent it, just over a longer period of time. Bournemouth have spent 6 out of the last 8 seasons in the Premier League as well.

I'm not quite sure that you comprehend the challenge of getting promoted having built a squad of mostly loans, frees and academy players in the Championship and then having to build a new squad to survive in the world's toughest league. But then again why would you be able to comprehend it? It's a million miles away from what you're used to.

Yeah we've only spent 75 years there.  Go back to your basement where you've been hiding for 6 weeks you lonely saddo.

Can’t see Notts getting relegated now. The others at the bottom are even more woeful than they are. Regulation win against Southampton and they are pretty much there I think. £200 million well spent? Not sure. How much to stay up next season? How can it be sustained? Football is pretty much broken. The players and agents gravy train rumbles on as sportswashing oversees it. I preferred the 70s and 80s.

Southampton and Everton now look doomed, so one from Leicester, Leeds and Trees

Thought Everton myself.  They still have Leicester, Wolves and Bournemouth at home last game though.  Leeds have a really hard run in.  

[Bris Vegas]

Leicester v Everton this weekend is massive.

If Everton lose they are down. They would probably need 6-7 points from their last 4 games to survive and they aren’t getting that with their fixtures.

Leeds are in trouble too. They had a run of Palace, Fulham and Leicester. They needed 5 points from that lot at least. They got 1. Bournemouth (A) this weekend has become must-win because they also have a difficult last 4 games.

I think Forest and Leicester will fancy their chances now.

Bournemouth didn't need to spend anything like£200m - despite almost completely overhauling their squad last season.

It's more an indication of how much rubbish you've bought.

I dont want to defend Forest, but Bournemouth still spent a lot of money this season and haven't had to compete on a level playing field for a decade in the few times they've been in the championship.

Forest didnt have parachute payments and theyve been out of the top flight for 30 years. Some of the quality of the players they signed is dubious at best, but they had to spend money to have any chance of staying up. No other way to close the gap

[Gee SCREAMER !!]

This mythical team of loans, frees and academy players cost 26 million pounds over two seasons by the way.  Not including any loan fees.

Bournemouth sold a load of players for big money when they were first relegated, and brought through quite a few kids. Their signings thereafter were relatively modest. 

Of course Forest had to strengthen their squad, but how many of those signings have played more than 15 games as a starter? Their struggle isn't an indicator that it's the Toughest PL For Years (another Forest TM I note), it's an indicator that they've signed few players that have performed consistently. If they stay up, see how many are retained and how many get a Greek holiday.

Over two seasons? We only got promoted the once to my knowledge...

I'm interested though where this £26m comes from. Probably the same source who has folk on here thinking Lingard is on 200k a week and we've spent 250m.

Not even sure why any of you are giving this six fingered freak the time of day.

Football banter is about give and take, not disappearing for 6 weeks when you're losing and then coming back to lecture people about a division that you've not been in for the past quarter of a century when you finally win a match.

Fair play to those responding to it though as he clearly must not have any friends if the first thing he does when his team wins is to go onto his local rivals forum.

[I am Ram]

Pontius is a typical red dog, he only sings when their winning. If they do get relegated, you won't see him on here for dust, or at the city ground. He will just be an empty pink seat, like the rest.

They were able to sell those players for big money precisely because they'd just been in the Premier League and if transfermarkt is to be believed they broke our own transfer record 5 times this season. I know you are trying to twist it to make it look like Bournemouth werent spending money, but they lost £50 mill last time they were in the championship even when they still had parachutes. They kept a lot of their best players and spent mega bucks on wages to do so.

And i havent said its the toughest pl for years - think you're confusing me with someone else. It is imperative you spend money to compete. Forests transfer business is very hit and miss, but the fact that they are still in with a chance of staying up is astounding

REQUEST;

Can we say 6 toes from now on?

My youngest son was born with an extra digit on his right hand and is a massive Derby fan.

Thanks in advance and sorry to anyone who has a son with six toes.

Cheers Redcar

Where did you get the idea that I'd attributed that remark to you? It clearly relates back to Poncy Prat's claim.

"Astounding"? 😂 Get a grip and check what their own fans were predicting after the closing of the first transfer window.

It’s just like stroking the stray cat that comes up to you in the street cos they’ve got nobody.
