[bruhnaldo]

effort!

[Jimmy Floyd]

Do Nottingham Forest supporters begin every single home match against teams other than Villa, United, Liverpool and now Chelsea with a rendition of 'Champions of Europe, you'll never sing that' ?

What an utterly tedious football club.

[Kikó]

Benfica tonight at Maritimo and a chance to put pressure on the other lot chasing them.

I'm hoping a decent performance for united tomorrow but we keep failing in the league so I wouldn't be surprised if it's crap.

[Samadini]

Was definitely a bit of a lash out, but you feel he's been sent off there because the linesman thinks he kicked Lansbury in the face.

[Samadini]

And how is that a foul?

[Giggles]

When did that Bendtner shitehawk turn up at Forest?

[Samadini]

Jesus christ

[niko_cee]

Isn't that Dummett one specifically not a red card anymore? Aside from the fact it wasn't a foul. Or is a penalty not actually a goal scoring opportunity for Forest? Lansbury should get the same length ban as Shelvey for being a cheating cunt.

[Samadini]

I'm seething.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Forest will win and win easily. Pile on it.

[Kikó]

Turn up for the books so far in Portugal. Luisao is looking like an ancient defender and is being run ragged by Maritimo. They lead 1-0.

I've a thread already opened for all the shit.

[Lewis]

When your entire product is built around Barcelona vs Real Madrid, putting it on at 15:15 on a Saturday is as bad as that thirty-ninth game in Dubai shit.

[Shindig]

'sake. Fuck this cunt league.

[niko_cee]

Surely that Forest player (Assombalonga?) was offside there?

[Samadini]

It's going to end about 5-1, as long as someone breaks Lansbury's legs I don't really care now.

[Jimmy Floyd]

When your entire product is built around Barcelona vs Real Madrid, putting it on at 15:15 on a Saturday is as bad as that thirty-ninth game in Dubai shit.

It often seems to be on at that time, gets the evening slot in Asia and morning/lunchtime in Latin America, England is irrelevant.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Surely that Forest player (Assombalonga?) was offside there?

By miles, and him getting involved in that move was the most brainless piece of football I've seen for ages, thankfully for them not spotted by the linesman with a teenager's haircut.

[Samadini]

That linesman must be there on work experience. He cannot be serious.

[Jimmy Floyd]

There are a number of people who may well be impostors in this match, the Forest goalkeeper being another.

[Ian]

Thank fuck, Reg. I thought we were going to be using that midweek thread until March.

[Samadini]

Gonna go and piss in the shower.

[Pleb]

Pep v Conte will probably end up being a handshake and a pint later around the corner of the stadium.

Nil-nil or a wild Auergo appears to disturb the status quo.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Fabregas in for Matic, bye bye the league lead.

Which one of Kev the Brown and T-bone was it that shagged the other's wife?

[Waffdon]

Lol at Man City trying to match Chelsea with three at the back. Chelsea to run riot

[John]

Stones is a complete joke of a player.

Chelsea should really smack these about here. Sane as a non-wingback and Kolarov in the back four will mean space galore.

[Lewis]

Why do they keep saying John Stones 'needs to learn' when to fanny about in his own box? I'm older than him, admittedly, but I know when and when not to.

[Jimmy Floyd]

It's amazing how Hazard can go from being a complete waster to comfortably the best player in the league in the space of six months.

[Max Power]

Looks like another too clever by half team selection from Guardiola. Sane at left wing back?

Chelsea look dangerous everytime they go forward.

[Adamski]

Nice to see @Reg taking the WDYTOE feedback on board. Top threading.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Otamendi should have been shown a second yellow for dissent there. Just gone through a bloke like the dirty Argie he is and then screamed in the referee's face for a full minute.

[Jimmy Floyd]

The curse of professional footballers utterly refusing to use their weaker foot strikes again.

[Waffdon]

Get rid of that joker

[Adamski]

Curse of @Waffdon thinking he has a clue about football also strikes again. Pep

[Waffdon]

Who the fuck are you?

[Lewis]

This seems like the best game I've watched in ages.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I know he saved that goal but Cahill is such a mong.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Given that City have a far better squad than we do (Alonso lol), we're doing pretty well in this game. Just need to create a chance.

[Waffdon]

Cahill is something else.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fucking hell.

[Disco]

Touch of the Ronny Rosenthal there.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That was lovely.

[Waffdon]

Chelsea's defence acting how it should with this display. Two pathetic defences.

[Jimmy Floyd]

This has been a great game, slightly let down by Leroy Sané's efforts at left wing back but otherwise of a very high standard.

[Lewis]

lol

[Jimmy Floyd]

YES

Claudio Bravo is not good enough to keep goal at this level.

[Max Power]

Perfect counter attack but lol at Otamendi diving in and getting rolled AGAIN.

[Waffdon]

Fuck you adamski

[Adamski]

Fuck you adamski

Haha Touché!
