Re: What are you reading tonight?
Yeah I haven't a clue what he's on about at times. Its a bit indulgent but he bears in mind that there's still a story to tell.

Re: What are you reading tonight?
Will Self - The Quantity Theory of Insanity. A collection of Self's short stories, published in 1991 - his first published work. The first story is highly indebted to Woody Allen's prose. Funny and unbelievable. Magical realism, that sort of thing. The rest is quite dark material, some of it disturb...

Re: The "Nothing to see here"Transfer thread
I like Craig Davies. I like Keith Andrews. They're both players in positions we're looking to strengthen. I really praised the Andrews signing last summer and said he'd do well for us. I want to see more from him this year, especially more goals. I'm happy with the Beckford signing. There's an arti...

Re: Blackpool ... Donkeys or Towering ?
The run-in has been exciting and exhilarating. The celebrations when we scored our goals were wild and crazy and I loved it. There was a lot of confusion at the end when people thought Forest had scored a third but it all added to the nature of football and all that comes with watching it. We were c...

Re: Blackpool ... Donkeys or Towering ?
They looked awful at Brighton but I know every game is different and this league is so unpredictable that we can't look at that game and say we're gonna batter them as well. That said, anything other than three points today would be shit. Not just because of our predicament but because its Blackpool...

Re: Leicester away
We need to win, we can't rely on other teams to do us favour as we learned last season . It's in our hands at the minute if we make the play offs or not. I may have been imagining it, but I thought every fvcker tried their best to let us stay up, but we just too shit to do anything about it! The bi...

Re: 4 Games to go
We can do it. I'm proper nervous for Tuesday though. For me, the Ashton Gate trip was what would make or break us. I'm confident about going to Cardiff, and even Leicester, but I thought City would beat us. I imagined another London Road disaster. Since we got over that hurdle I reckon we'll stay in...

Re: Away at Mick McCarthy's Super Ipswich Town
Its hard to fault them after such a great run (though it probably should have come a bit sooner); today was always going to be tough. But after our continuing dominance in terms of possession in the second half, I can't help but feel disappointed that we didn't come away with at least a point - a po...

Re: Biggest game of the season - Brighton @ Home
Great run-of-form at the moment. Can't understand the inclusion of Davo from the start today. Quite disappointed with that one but here's hoping the subs will do us some good.

To be fair, Derby away seemed an easier place to get three points than Hull at home.Bijou Bob wrote:Before kick off I'd have taken a point away from home. Shame we conceeded a soft goal, but its still a valuable point. We need three on Saturday now.

Re: What are you reading tonight?
Yes, thats the one. It's a short story, though a bit of an extended one, and apparently his 'most perfect.' I want to check out more of Kafka's work.

Re: Dougie Freedman - New Manager
Huge mistakes, even if they are just one, are sometimes unforgivable. Todays was a huge mistake because it simply hasn't dawned on him that he now has a very able pool of strikers to choose from and yet insists on picking out the wrong one. He hasn't started for a couple of games, granted, but someh...

Re: What are you reading tonight?
Bought Kafka's Metamorphosis this week so I'll go home and read that tonight. Its the Dover Thrift edition so has come with its own selection of other short stories which will hopefully be enjoyable. I must say that Hunger by Knut Hamsun was a truly devastating read. Following, as it does, the turmo...

Re: Nottingham Forest Away
If he was a tactical genius, as someone"s just claimed on the radio, he'd have got it right from the start. But he rarely seems to. Exactly. It's not a sign of managerial ability to put out a mess of a team for 60 minutes, go 1-0 down and then make good changes. A good tactician would get the team ...
