Guest Damn You Helmsley Report post Posted March 24, 2006 England's exit will be blamed on: Sven's "unpatriotic" tactics, hooligans, an unfortunate injury to Rooney, the Germans (regardless of whether they play each other), the Iraq war, social workers and a supposedly crooked foreign referee, who The Sun will later claim voted for Hitler in the '30s.

The Decemberists 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2006 If we don't win the World Cup then ALL the blame will be placed on Sven - or at least with most of the tabloids. I find it so stupid when I was reading that one of the 1966 players... Cohen I think it was, said that England will win the Cup "despite" having Sven in charge. We'll fucking miss him when he goes, especially if Fat Sam, Curbs or McClaren take his place. Anyway, onto proper football - League One! The NUMBER ONE league in the world! Home to MK Dons tomorrow... reasonable confident thanks to our reason run of form and absence of Megson, but MK did beat Southend (!) last week, but I'm hoping they can't have two fluke results in a row.

TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2006 Come on guys, let's have some positivity, eh? Fact of the matter is, we HAVE to win it sooner or later, even Greece won Euro 2004, so why can't it be this year? If everyone plays how they can, there's not a team in the world, Brazil included, that could match us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deancoles 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2006 Swansea,Brentford,Barnsley and Colchester are all bottling it, you'd need 2 of them bottling or 1+ Oldham. Edit: Brentford look most likely, defence relies on Sodje to much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Decemberists 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2006 Pah - Mickey Mouse Championship rubbish I really think you'd be completely fucked if not for Idiakez. God knows why a) he wants to play for you, and b) no one's bought him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2006 Idiakez has been far from our best player this season. He's our Beckham, he's been nowhere near as good as the rest of the side this season, but he's probably the most inspirational. You really should see some of the lads in our side now, when they're older (haha, sorry, couldn't resist) they'll be great players, before they join Spurs for £3m.

The Decemberists 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2006 Didn't he cost £3.5m for someone once, or am I confusing him with someone else? I was reading something the other day, that described John Terry as a "goal scoring center half" - he's got three this season, i think. Forest's Ian Breckin - our captain - has eight! Clearly he should be in the England squad rather than Terry, at least for the corners Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clearly he should be in the England squad rather than Terry, at least for the corners I'd love Lee Morris back at Derby, he cost us £3m from Sheffield United as a 19 year old, or something, but injuries really hampered him. He is very, very talented, but has lost his way. Think Michael Ricketts but as a winger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Decemberists 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2006 According to our official site our game at Chesterfield tomorrow is a local derby!? I really don't understand yet... We have three derby games - the Sheep, Leicester and Notts - bloody Chesterfield don't come close. They hate us though, we're being told. AND in the away end it's STANDING!!! It's like the bloody dark ages. I was standing at Chester, but that was the FA Cup so not quite such a culture shock, but standing in a league game is bloody weird.

Guest Damn You Helmsley Report post Posted March 31, 2006 I had a conversation about Nottingham Forest today and was reminded that I predicted Paul Hart would lead them back into the glorious sunshine of Premiership football. That and Wilfred Bouma are the only two things I've ever been wrong about in regards to football. Oh and I said Frank Lampard would never make it to the highest level. I was also fairly certain Roberto Baggio was gonna bury that penalty at USA '94. And every season Juventus fuck up the Champions League, that too would be an example of me being incorrect. Still, everything else... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Decemberists 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2006 There's a thread on TalkForest which begins thus, did anyone else hear him being interviewed this evening? The interviewer asked him if he had any information regarding the new manager at Forest and then asked if he had seen Roy Keane around the place. Breckin seemed to be taken off guard and replied " Yeah". the interviewer asked again "you have seen him??", Breckin then replied "err..no..hold your horses".
