This is just before Nuno garrottes the offending journalist with piano wire, a la, Jean Reno in Leon.

Yeah, just watched it myself and was wondering what coaches going into a pre or post-match press conference must be thinking, and it must be "For f***'s sake why do I have to do this?"

Cmon Forest. Writing that out we have a fecking pretty good team. Quite youthful too. Sangare & Aina to play second half roles (if avaliable). Elanga to exploit that space again.

Before the West Ham game I was looking at the next fixtures and thinking we are going to lose against Villa, Utd, Liverpool and Luton.

Now think we could get points from Villa and Liverpool and definitely against Luton.

Home cup game with UTD. I'm optimistic.

Liverpool should be knackered by the time they face us. Hopefully the Cup Final goes to ET.

The Brighton game looks a good opportunity. They play Roma (A) on Thursday night, then play us on the Sunday (followed by Roma the following Thursday).

The Luton game will see us with a few extra days rest, if we don’t get past Man United. Luton have Bournemouth (A) on the Wednesday night, then it could be us on the Saturday.

Villa is the hardest game of the lot, despite their recent struggles. Beat them and we need five wins (from 12) to comfortably stay up, even with a points deduction.

Matchday at last. No nerves at all at the moment, most unusual, but we have a decent side who have recently looked up to the standard I expected from them all season.

A few matches lately we have dropped points, but I suppose I should have expected that because Nuno came to the club at a very awkward time. AFCON deprived us of a batch of first teamers, plus injuries were mounting and on top of that we struggled through two Cup games which needed replays meaning the coach had little time to prepare the players tactically or get used to the squad as a whole.

He has now had time and the squad is returning to full strength and fitness. Still one or two absentees, but those remaining are of a good standard.

Very possibly a win today against a side who have proved to be of a high quality this season, especially at home, but who have been showing signs of weakness lately. A good time to pinch a point or three. COYR

I hope we go out with the same mindset we did against West Sham, attack down the flanks with Neco and CHO f***ing them up!
I doubt they'll play such a high line as they like to because they saw how quick we can be on the break and will be f***ing shitting themselves.
Just hope the officials don't f*** us up again because we can deffo win this... COYR!!
