Little update: gotta go nil-by-mouth from midnight tonight due to an Endoscopy tomorrow. If they manage to clear my bile duct, the next step will be full gall bladder removal.

This has come out of nowhere by the way. Not a drinker, never smoked, never taken drugs and I eat right. I suppose it will all come out in the open in the aftermath haha

 

There is going to be zero international fans at the World Cup at this point. And makes sense why they are giving tickets away for this to college kids for four bucks.

 

I'll be watching the u21 Euros. Much more at stake, much more important to the development of the game.

so shameful and embarrassing. it’s like the movie Trap but in real life.

 

considering one team that’s already qualified is banned from entering the country… next summer will be weird.

 

I’d be ok with this but sounds expensive

 

Why would he leave now though? Surely you stay given how that project is going.

 

Not that Tottenham have shown to be very sustainable, but I’d imagine Forest won’t be able to sustain the level they were at this past season regardless if he stays or leaves.

 

The Spurs project (yes, I know it's been brewing for years) is vastly more attractive than Forest's to a player.

 

Absolutely batshit owner might play into it

 

I’m a MGW fan and we’ve been linked to him in the past. So I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the report is legit and we make a strong push for him. But…

Eze has to be the move. I hate to keep repeating this lol but the club has wanted him for a long time. Before his move to Palace. And it seems like every summer it just doesn’t happen for whatever reason. If it’s ever going to happen it needs to happen this window imo.

And it makes even more sense with Frank coming in. I think the idea would be to have Eze play primarily LW with Maddison as the 10. That seems like a better fit for Frank’s system than what it’d look like under Ange. Plus, having Eze who can play AM or LW as well as Kulu who can play AM or RW just gives us a lot of flexibility.

Eze - Solanke - Johnson with Maddison behind them feels right.

 

Ngl, I thought Gibbs White came through Forest’s academy, and I’ve just remembered he was at Wolves. So probably isn’t as attached as I thought.

 

So good to watch when fit.

 

Santi Cazorla just scored a freekick with his “wrong foot” (if he even has one) to send his hometown team Real Oviedo to the playoff final.

And he’s doing it all while on the minimum wage for a professional player in Spain, a wage they forced him to take after he said he wanted to play for free.

God, I love that man.

 

I’m kinda hoping we loan out Mikey Moore this year. With how this window seems to be shaping, I think our attacking options will make it hard for him to get any minutes consistently.

Just not sure if he’d benefit most from a Championship side or one of the newly relegated teams. I think Ipswich would be a good spot for him.

 

If Wrexham are able to make a push for promotion next season, what do we think the reaction will be from the general public? I could really see it going either way lol

 

The goat

 

Probably wouldn’t be great but I think this is the level where I can see them getting a little stuck. Mostly because I don’t think their manager is good enough for this level and there are plenty of other teams that can chuck money around. It’s one of the most competitive leagues in the world.

They’ll get promoted at some point probably, but I’d be very surprised if it’s within the next two years.

 

The Wrexham doc is so good.

 

Fuck Wrexham

 

Lmao as if Trent just gave his Madrid presentation speech in fluent Spanish. He’s clearly been learning for like a year lol.

 

Wouldn’t this be up to Cochrane? And if so, I can’t imagine not taking the Brentford job.
