Dr. Gonzo Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 Just now, Stan said: No thanks. Hope Luton (if they get there) fuck them up. Is Leicester - Forest considered a derby? Wouldn't it be nice to have an actual rival for you back in the league? Luton getting destroyed by Fulham to me indicates they're not even close to ready for the PL, so I suppose it would be a bit funny to see them in the league. The downside of having them in the league is that traveling fans across the country will be made to come to Luton, though. And tbh that's close to a crime against humanity.

Nah I prefer to see them suffer. To some it is a rivalry, others not. Forest promoted is a success for them. I don't see why you'd want to see your rivals succeed...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted May 3, 2022 Subscriber Posted May 3, 2022 Fulham, Bournemouth and you just know Sheffield United are winning the playoffs.

If we're having Bournemouth back we need to at least make it worthwhile. I don't want this lot back for no reason. I think they're an almost certain drop next year.

I don't see why you'd want to see your rivals succeed... There are pros and cons for me but more cons. I don't take for granted being above them and Derby as much as I think there's still a substantial gap for them to close even if they did go up. I think if I was a neutral I'd be absolutely wanting Forest up but I cannot wish them success. It's Nottingham's team for god sake. That place beats us to enough things already, I want us well ahead of them on football. Don't get me wrong if they come up there's only two things I'm looking for on fixture day and it will add some edge to our league campaign that a season like this one for example sorely missed, but I can't wish them promotion. Imagine we have another terrible window and they smash it. I thought we were years away from them finishing above us but this would be a closing of the gap. I have to say though Bournemouth are one of the last sides I wanted up. Bournemouth under Howe had something about them even if I was bored of them by the end and they were a little shit. It was a genuinely good story and one that gets harshly cast aside. Post Howe Bournemouth is as dull as it comes. But fair play to them, they threw the first nail into Forest's promotion so they get a pass from me for a while.

Tbf, Fulham have basically torn the entire league apart (though when you have a clear financial advantage over the league and can spend £12m on one player, that isn't hard). As for Bournemouth, the mighty Kieffer Moore will destroy the prem.

The team that player was at last year must have been shocking to not even make the playoffs.

To be fair you can understand why he wouldn't want them up when they smashed Leicester 4-1 in the Cup this season

Administrator Stan Posted August 2, 2022 Author Administrator Posted August 2, 2022 Looks like they're in a lot of trouble...
Dave Posted August 2, 2022 Posted August 2, 2022 Scott Parker's press quotes were pretty damning. We were all saying last season that if they don't get promoted they could be in serious trouble given the money they had spent in January to get back in to the Premier League. I just wonder if they dipped in to this year's transfer budget to really go for promotion. The rationale of "Well we wanted Woodman in the summer and even though Travers has been good we will still get Woodman anyway" is the type of rationale that gets clubs in the situation that Reading, Derby and now Birmingham have been in.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted August 2, 2022 Subscriber Posted August 2, 2022 I've never been more sure of a side going down than Bournemouth this season. They'll be cannon fodder.
N U F C Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 Parker isn’t a PL manager and the squad looks piss poor, fairly sure they’ll finish bottom.
