I'm finding Forest's fall absolutely hilarious. Another club who essentially cheated their way through the financial regulations. Them and their owner thoroughly deserve each other.
I’m also not a big fan of leniency when it comes to this. You get 3 chances (to get you to 9 points) in a 3 year period. That seems more than enough chances to change your behaviour. Turning down speed awareness course seems a bit daft too.
He didn’t rip up trees as the under 18s coach here did he?
Clearly a very intelligent man, but it’s gone horribly, horribly wrong at BR and I’m not sure it can be blamed on the behind the scenes stuff. He started alright-ish in his first few games, but the recent form has been terrible.
Sunderland would become my closest away day, so logically it would be then. However for a whole host of reasons I want them to FAIL. So, anyone but them. If I had to pick, probably Cov. I like Lampard a lot as a manager.
That’s not the case. There’s been SOME rotation, but most of their main players have played every game.
Today was essentially their strongest XI.
(I live in the area so I follow them quite closely).
I’ve had a hatred for him since that game against Fulham where we battered them for the entire game and he scored for them on the break right at the end.
I say this without any knowledge, but I can imagine whatever verdict is given to Man City (whenever it comes) will go through reams and reams of appeals, so I can’t see any points deduction taking effect this season.
But you’re right, for all sorts of reasons we want City to beat Palace.
We sit high up and camp outside the opposition box, creating almost zero real chances. Then we lose possession and allow a pacey counter attack that our aging, slow defenders can't deal with.
