Looking forward to seeing him cultivate some dreads.

Conor Gallagher is on his way to Atletico Madrid by the looks of things. Gallagher does not appear to be content at Chelsea and the club have accepted an offer that was lower than Villa's as they do not wish to sell to another Premier League club.

Not long to go now until the season starts.
Looking forward to more awful officiating, in the Euros any reffing controversy always included English refs in some way. It'll be interesting to see what kind of reception the likes of Rob Jones, Paul Tierney, Attwell and Anthony Taylor get at the CG. The list of refs actually able to have our games is getting shorter by the game.
I'm sure we'll see more financial shenanigans from the Sky 6 completely swept under the carpet too.
Being in the Prem is odd, it's where we all want to be but there's so much about it to despise.

I live in hope that this season can’t be anything like as bad as last season and we get the occasional rub of the green.
Hopefully the likes of Rob Jones and Attwell are aware of the scorn and how poor they were and a bit more aware.
You can but hope.

The EPL must surely be aware of the weekly ridicule of some of their referees performances and want to get the standard higher.

I know the officiating is often terrible and the majority of teams get poor decisions go against them - but some of the decisions against us last season were bad to the point of being unbelievable.
Then, to top off the absurdity, these obviously incorrect decisions were upheld by VAR.
It got so ridiculous that many of us were at the point you didn't even bother to get excited about a Forest penalty appeal because you knew they weren't going to give it - even if was the most blatant penalty imaginable.

I felt the same. Almost like we were 1-0 down before the game started.
I’m trying to reset for the start of the season and mentally wipe the slate clean.
Let’s see how long that lasts?!

Yeah, the Boly sending off and not getting even one penalty at Goodison were all-timers, for sure.

He's probably unhappy that the club have eventually realised how bang average he is.
That Willy Boly one was still, in my humble opinion, the second worst officiating decision I’ve seen in 48 years of watching Forest.
(Milford in the 91 Cup Final being the worst. The twat).

The Wily Boly one made absolutely no sense. Even when viewed in real time it was obviously an excellent tackle.
He reached the ball well ahead of the opposition, went in with one foot along the ground...and the only contact was initiated by the Bournemouth player who basically trod on him.
Only for the pitiful excuse of a referee to send Boly off for a second yellow - despite having a completely unobstructed view of the incident at a perfect angle.

That game was so frustrating. Nuno’s first game-went behind but fought back numerous times but only to concede last min. Think that game captured our season-showed fight and scored goals, looked really bright at times but conceded sloppy goals, 2 headers, lost deep into injury time, Terrible reffing decision. Bet Nuno was pleased to back in prem league!
Monkman
Jack Burkitt
Yeah it was gutting. Really think Turner should have done better with two of their goals too, especially the winner.

The odd thing for me is that VAR is trumpeted as sorting out problems, but the Boly incident and the Tierney one, too, were not able to be reviewd by VAR because of the daft rules.
Which, of course, clods like IFAB and Howard Webb won't do anything to change.

And then, as if by magic, Clattenburg leaves and suddenly there is no controversy in any of the remaining games.
But there was absolutely no agenda there by the completely impartial, Clattenburg-hating PGMOL. Absolutely not...

According to Gary Neville it's absolutely unthinkable that a referee would act with bias.
Whilst on the same video telling anecdotes about bent referees & players doping.

Maybe Gary has learned to ignore himself too.

The Bournemouth player should have received the ban for that.
Succesful deception and not a word uttered about it.

Bin VAR!
With a bit of luck he’ll maybe graduate from a mini retirement to a permanent one! Be interesting the first time he and spitty show their faces at the city ground.

A culmination of 'debatable' decisions going against us.
You expect one or two go for and against you over the season but we had the ones for us go against us as well (I can only ever remember Turner v Brentford being one obvious one we got away with) and to top it off, VAR correcting our decisions fell off a cliff after the Clattenburg appointment, which is a remarkable coincidence.
Praying we're good enough on the pitch this coming season to counter any bollocks with the refs.

I would love to play Bournemouth on the opening day with Solanke not there.
