Nottingham Forest In Financial Trouble
Lucas replied to Stan's topic in Premier League - English Football Forum
From what I know, we're fine. But then we sold Phillips and Raphinha when we had to, to stay compliant. And we've also had a takeover since so we're in a good spot. If we both go up and you get a points deduction, I think that would suit us more. -

At this point, I really couldn't tell you what's right or wrong in terms of the actual deductions. All I do know is, signing 30 odd players under those terms has got to be gaining an unfair sporting advantage on the field and should feel significantly harsher than 4pts. Fingers crossed, the Football gods are making everything right in the universe anyway, especially if we get promotion. -

I'd like to think the most hardened of Leicester fans despite their will for Millwall to win, could see sense that was never a red. What a horrendous referee Steve Martin is. Jake Cooper must have avoided three Yellow cards today, let alone the one he did get. And how the referee hasn't sent him off for a 2nd Yellow for kicking Rodon's head in the box is one of the worst we've had. Just glad we didn't have to reflect back on that decision at the end of the game. We were in total control so I felt a sting in the tail could be on the cards when the referee missed that. But we got the win we fully deserved and that's what counts. Rutter feels a bit of a cheat code at this level, he's just so good at creating things in tight spots. 17pts behind Leicester as we came into 2024, and now we are top. Not sire what that does to them, or the other two psychologically but it's a great testiment to this team to be top of the table from where we were. Amazing run to haul Leicester back into this race, which I think is down to the pressure of the run we've put together, and now we just have to hold it all together and secure that Top 2 spot. Can't be dealing with playoffs with this club. -
@Pyfish was unlucky, he had City needing three goals. You'd have fancied that at 2-0 after the first half.

Cheers mate, had a tenner of my own on it too. Looked far too good to resist.

Gonna go for the Skybet Boost Salah, Nunez, Rashford, 1 SOT each. 3/1. £10 wins £40.

Football. My god, what would we do without it... Brilliant from Coventry, fully deserved. Robins has done so well there, they thoroughly deserve it. Massive fingers crossed now Leicester win tomorrow, what a class semi final that could be...

Liverpool favourites for the Premier League after that draw, especially if the two end up playing eachother in the semi's.

Sociedad please -
I know Porto will get plaudits for being so defensively sound tonight, as they were in the 1st leg, and they gave themselves the best shot to get through. But thank fuck they are out. You don't really want to be watching defensive games in the latter stages of an elite competition. Got a really funny feeling Arsenal will draw Man City.

Lovely and refreshing not to be in here this year. @RandoEFC you done anything new with the place? -

That moment in particular was what this fixture is all about. Two of the best in their position going toe to toe. You'd have probably backed Haaland when he shifted it on to his left but Van Dijk made it difficult enough to put him off a clear shot. -

In fairness to Dean, he said straight off the bat in the match, that's a penalty. -

Van Dijk was top drawer. Bar one moment, I don't think Haaland had a sniff and the way he marshalled the defence and built Liverpool attacks from the back was key for them. There was one diagnal ball he played 2nd half which was unreal. That City goal was geniusly worked. So, so clever and brilliantly executed. The Macallister penalty was supurb when you think how long the delay was between the decision and the penalty being taken. Nerves of steel. I actually think Klopp nearly ballsed up taking Bradley off and putting Gomez RB. Not sure if that was tactical, injury related or whatever, but it nearly lost them the game because when Doku came on, he had him beat each time. I'm sure a man of Klopp's character would have thought they would bring him on and I'd have thought Bradley would have dealt better with him. Great game though, such an elite level the standard that was played at. Be good to see those two battle it out in the FA Cup final if it can happen that way. -

12 games ago, end of 2023 infact, we were 17pts back. Now its just 3, crazy. I never envisaged us getting a whiff of top spot but if we beat Millwall next week by two goals, that's exactly where we'll be. Tbh, I'd snap your hand off for a guarantee of 2nd though. Don't care as long as we avoid the playoffs and go up automatically. Still see us having a wobble somewhere in true Leeds style and the picture will swing again. All to play for though. It was satisfying to see Ipswich capitulate at the death much how they've nicked games that late. They were due to have it done to them. -

Got to love FPL and DGW's. As soon as you put Solanke Captain and bring in Bournemouth defensive assests, of course they'd concede and Solanke would miss a penalty. Just textbook isn't it. -

There was a lot more uproar over the Leicester one being given in the Sky studio saying it was weak. The Hull one was more unanimously agreed. But then none of them are looking at it with any club bias. A point is good though, tough place to go is Hull with what they done in January. I'm pretty content with that too. Can't moan at making up 2pts in Leicester and 3 on Ipswich. Over to us next Sunday now whilst Leicester and Saints wait and watch. -

The penalty gods seem to be favouring Leicester this week. Avoid giving a dodgy one to Sunderland and generously give one against Hull. I'm not shocked, officials in this league are beyond clueless. -

Massive win that. Think many of us Leeds fans (and possibly others supporting Leicester, Ipswich and Saints) saw this as a potential banana skin. Home team bang in form, Yorkshire derby under the lights, their biggest gate of the season etc. So to win there, especially given how hard it was to break through them in the first half, get the points and put a marker down to the others is pretty big. Can't dictate what the others do but psychologically pressure will be on them. -

After the torture that was Burnley v Bournemouth last week (Crime of a top flight fixture) it's class to see a Super Sunday of Villa v Spurs and Liverpool v City. -
Must admit, I'm still not fully understanding of the situation at Leicester currently with this hanging over them, can't imagine they need this whilst trying to focus in a promotion race.
