We need to talk about Nottingham Forest.

[MikeH72]

Yeah but Porto are 7th and Forest are near the bottom, Forest can't expect any results here mate.

Or something like that.

Hang on, they’re SEVENTH in the PORTUGUESE LEAGUE?!?!? Holy moly.

Edit: they’re top you fool.

 

[Tommy Chong]

Forest favourites tonight. Their squad cost a lot more than Porto’s.

Porto are currently on form and undefeated in the Portuguese league.

Yeah, I know... 'Farmer's league' and all that, but this is Dyche we're talking about, mate.

Forest’s squad is far stronger than theirs. Don’t underestimate the chasm between the Portuguese league and the Premier League.

We did and then we lost a game (can't remember who it was against) and he just reverted to type, it was strange from him, it was like he bottled it a bit.

Tbf, I think we played pretty well in that Spurs game it was either before or after Christmas.

Matthew says "so who are going to be tonight macca?"

"Tonight Matthew, im going to be Porto!"

Why though? He walked away when the time way right. He did a good job overall. The criticism he gets can only be justified if you think the players/squad were better than the league positions suggest.

He did a decent job.

He did a decent job.

He didn't walk away, he waited for a payout, even after admitting he wasn't up to the job.

And the bold literally happened immediately after Moyes came in.

I hear you Mike, but once you factor 'Dycheball' into the equation...

...That chasm diminishes significantly!

Great post @allen

I hope they get absolutely terrored tonight just so I can hear the "it was like this when I got here"

Oh yes. We’re definitely in for months of blaming things from “before my time at the club.”

Do I really need to answer why? Did you have a period on the moon during our extended 3 month periods without a win? Did you go on holiday in a submarine for 3 months so didn't see him resign, but confirmed he couldn't do the job anymore but was happy to wait for a pay off?

 

[COYBL25]

I will have to watch the Notts Forest game out of some kind of morbid curiosity. Hope they get thrashed

I don`t think you`ll be the only one tbh.

I think form wise we were 5th or 6th most in form side under Moyes weren't we?

It's genuinely one of the worst shouts ever posted by @PercyPlant when he says criticism is only justified if you think the team was better...which it proved it was.

It wasn’t good enough and he was rightfully sacked, most managers end up getting sacked, but overall he did a decent job. He picked up from the awful Lampard and saved us, following season had us level points with the highly praised Brighton or Brentford (can’t remember which) had it not been for points deductions and he walked away when time was right. He did a ok/decent/good job, he certainly didn’t do a job that bad that you’d wish ill on the rest of his career.

Oh no, certain posters will be watching with a semi-on for their hero. And will no doubt be posting antagonist needling if Forest win.

Let the games commence!

He was sacked? But you just told us he walked away? Which is it?
