Matchday 30 - Nottingham Forest Football Club vs Crystal Palace Football Club. Saturday, 30th of March KO 3pm

[Strummer]

Sir,
Your correspondent who signs himself as "Strummer", is surely mistaken.
A Glazier is not a member of the profession of glassmakers.
The noun is applied to a person who fits glass into windows and doors.
A maker of glass, typically an industrial chemist, is referred to as a glassmaker.
Yours faithfully etc...

Dear Lord. Pedant,
You are of course, correct; surely it should be written „the profession of one who replaces glass“.
A retraction will be posted in tomorrow‘s Guardian, and the offending sub-editor has been taken outside and shot.
We remain,
Your humble servants, etc.

Sir,
I don't believe using the verb "replaces" is sufficiently all encompassing in this instance.
Indeed, the glazier may be employed in a factory making glazed or part glazed doors and windows.
In such work there is no replacement undertaken: all is fitting.
There is an element in the glazier's work that constitutes replacing, but a glaziers duties go much further.
Apologies for being a bit of a pane for my pedantry.
Hopefully all is now as clear as (lead) crystal.

Can anyone else recall the game at Selhurst in the 71/72 season when they were awarded a goal when the ball had actually gone under the side netting and nestled in the goal? Fortunately after much consultation the "goal" was disallowed

Yes,Duncan-Steve Kember scored the phantom goal,didn’t he?

 

[RedHelly]

Hello guys!
I think we have to win this game and I'm sure that we will

He did indeed Cloughie. And if I remember correctly it was he who admitted it was not a goal. A honest footballer. Ye Gods!!

I'm looking forward to this one and think the atmosphere will be top class.

We know what we have to do to stay up now and I reckon the crowd will be right behind the lads, with a healthy finger raised to the PL cartel.

I agree: the atmosphere ahead of kick off will be amazing.
It wil stay amazing, and the players will be full of confidence, creativity and hope... until Palace open the scoring.
Then, like a punctured balloon, the atmosphere will become silent, players will lose confidence and start blaming each other, until they are booed off ... another home defeat, and another game gone from the remaining fixture list.
I hope Forest score first, the crowd continue to be euphoric and the decibel level remain stratospheric, and the lads hold on and we get the 3 points.
If we don't, much as I hate to say it, it all could become very toxic, very quickly.

More chance of the fish cakes being toxic,Captain.

 

[Mr. Blonde]

Don't really care about the result as long as the ref looks like John McGovern

@Captain Sinister got to say I’m expecting big things this weekend on the food front with it being Easter, Chippy beforehand and curry on the way home I’m guessing.

 

[Mcbeth99]

Are Arse-nal trying to unsettle us before our Greenhouse game so that we lose, get relegated and have a firesale?

Keep your eyes off MGW! I can imagine we may need to sell someone to stay within Flippin Fairyland Pricing but not MGW...

Hopefully then, Glasner will not be a perfect fit for them next Saturday.

It may have been mentioned somewhere else but I believe Forza Garabaldi are putting in a huge effort in the last home games and are looking for both volunteers and donations. Can someone advise where you can donate to them have they got a link?

Thank you Redemption. Not very good on the social media stuff, the forum when I use it is as far as it gets.
Can understand that the retired ones on here have time but productivity in the world must be down looking at the amount that people post who are in work.
Made me think on Saturday when I went to drop off a parcel and the shop did not have its collection system up and running, the girl said apologies I am not allowed to use my phone while at work to find the nearest other drop off.
Is social media the privilege of certain jobs during the week? I had production lines and they would not have been able to use it, shop workers( except at breaks I guess) lorry drivers,must be numerous others.
Anyway thanks I have donated.

You have to be in management, senior management or the Housde of Commons.
In the latter you can watch porn from the comfort of a green bench, often with a female politician conveniently close, so there is he chance of a hand-job while you work.

Think this will tell us a lot about the players attitude and/or Nunos ability to fire them up when our backs are against the wall.

If we don't see 100% here then you would have to fear for us. We also need to win, absolutely no 2 ways about it. What's done is done, up to the players now to start putting some consistent performances together that have been lacking all season.

Don't let me down you bastards.

First real "Must win" game of the season.

 

[REDDERS78]

First real "Must win" game of the season.

Yeah, you'll get the usual "Its not a must win game" from some quarters but for me it absolutely is. Games are running out so its essential we get some sort of momentum going. Its getting a bit boring hearing people say we should win that game etc, we need to actually do it.

 

[Alf-engelos Mindminackers]

Honestly, I feel very deflated for this. We can't even beat f***ing Luton lol, and now sit in the relegation zone. Whenever we've needed to perform, we've dropped the ball and so beating these will be something of a surprise to me if I'm honest.

This is absolutely a MUST-win game, and a draw is no good here. I just hope that a good break, and Nuno having some time to work with the squad (maybe actually using the f***ing set-piece coach in that time!) makes a big difference now. Fingers crossed.

Time to smash Palace to bits...
