Talk of Cafu, anyone else see his penalty for Rotherham the other night? Top man.

Yeah was gonna say took some bottle that

 

[Statto]

Cafu was always meant to be a decent pen taker. But we had Grabban who took most of them usually, and then Johnson...

Always liked Cafu, a real enthusiastic guy irrespective of his place in the team, even from the bench. Celebrating goals as if he scored, seemed a nice genuine guy.

Anyway 1-2 Forest. Elanga double.

That's ironic considering how crap Grabban and Johnson were at pens

Aye... it always seemed like they missed more than they scored.

Alf or Bonfy, please edit in the FA Cup in the foreground and the Wembley fans in the background.

I hope you don't mind I thought I'd give this a go.

 

[Gyros Peter]

Awoniyi concerns here - please be fit!

I think Johnson took some really good penalties, pressure ones too. Obviously hit the odd dud too.

Grabban was awful at penalties for me, not a great striker of a dead ball and better instinctively with a moving ball.

Bonfy needs to update .
With his superior IT skills he can eliminate “Huddersfield “ from the Wembley signage.

 

[Monkman]

Awoniyi concerns here - please be fit!

Based on what?

 

[Gyros Peter]

Based on what?

Paranoia, him coming off after being down a while last week, paranoia, no sign of him in the training vid, a touch of paranoia and someone reminding me he said he was fine after the Leicester game last year.

 

[REDDERS78]

A lot of confidence in here, seems to happen after every win, understandable.

Very hard game this. With Villa high line and our defensive frailties I wouldn't be surprised at a high scoring loss, 3-2 maybe.

Would take a point away at any Prem ground so would be delighted with a point here.

 

[REDDERS78]

Based on what?

Probably based on the fact he gets injured taking a piss and was taken off against West Ham holding his hamstring.

 

[Monkman]

Sure, I just wondered if it was something more concrete.

 

[REDDERS78]

I've certainly not heard anything additional, thank god!

 

[Grass]

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.

 

[Dr Sheldon Cooper]

Numerous Villa fans at work, although to be fair they didn't give me a hard time after Shelvey gifted them the win last season.
Be nice to do the double and get some breathing space but would take a draw.

 

[Robert Learnshaw]

I can see us either winning, drawing or losing this one

 

[RianBrice]

I’ve got a feeling in mi water we’re gonna do these again. Bollox to Chris Sutton

[Grenville 1898]

After his heroics in vexing the West Ham cat kicker, my cat is predicting a Forest win against Villa. It doesn't really count though, because he always predicts a win for the Red Dogs.

 

[Louth Red]

Important game for us - we need to keep picking up points ahead of the FFP decision.
We do possess a goal threat under Nuno but need to build on the clean sheet last week.
I watched highlights of the 5-5 draw on Sky in the week but don’t expect the same score tomorrow.
Its now the business end of the season so I’m looking for total commitment from the team, and also a fair deal from VAR.

COYR

 

[Captain Sinister]

The PSR/FFP is getting on my tits, to be honest.
It's like when you have something bad to tell your boss, and go into avoidance mode because you are worried about the backlash.
The EPL surely know what the rulings are now, so just think of the fans for once and publish and be damned.
