Forest will free fall to 7th….

Ah full moon fever - in my top 5 albums….love Tom.

I hope I am wrong with this free falling prediction

I just eat dirt mostly!

I can see Newcastle finish second now to be honest.

Bit silly on Easter weekend to not have a lunchtime fixture on the Saturday.

There is a Women’s Champions League match on then featuring Arsenal. Is it to avoid clashing with that?

Incidentally, are Easter Sunday matches a standard thing? I always thought they were on the Saturday or Monday. I may have misremembered that.

When the PL moved to 38 and started to spread the games it changed. However with the Football League still 46 games they are playing both Friday and Monday.

One of the greatest ends to a derby was on a Easter Sunday mind.

There used to be 3 games in 4 days over the Easter weekend. Friday, Saturday and Monday. Imagine that..

I went to Anfield two days running to see us beat Spurs and Manchester United…I can guarantee that will never happen again.

I won’t mention the Monday game :face_with_peeking_eye:

If City don’t find a goal here they could reasonably end up as low as 7th by the end of the weekend

Entertaining game so far at Villa Park…

Watkins scored and hit the woodwork twice in the first 30 mins. I’ve barely noticed him otherwise though :joy:

Cameras just focused in Gareth Barry in the crowd who looks like he hasn’t aged, but also somehow is turning into Rob Brydon

That’s a dive but it’s Newcastle so fuck off their protest oil cheating fucks.

Martinez has played two spectacular balls forward into Watkins. Took the entire Newcastle side out with one pass, twice

Someone has probably answered this already, but why did Arsenal ever sell him?

Speaking of noticing strikers I only just realised Isak was on the pitch.

Dave Jones - ā€œGreat game, 1 a pieceā€

No one - …

They never seemed to consider him as a viable option. He was on loan pretty. Cunt his entire time there, staying only year to be their number 2 the year they got rid of cech and ospina but still barely played. the following year he was sold to villa. He played only about 10 games for them in something approaching 10 years.

I don’t know whether it was just a case of failing to see what they had - judging the level,of readiness of a keeper in your youth/reserves is notoriously tough - or whether he did improve once he got to villa but it took him no time after that for him to establish himself as the Argentina #1
