Huge games for them tomorrow- and for Forest- lots to play for in that part of the table right now.

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
I'll be interested to see who Sky chooses as its' co-comms/pundits...
Spurs v Forest is MADE for either Michael Dawson or Teddy Sheringham...
2 popular club legends and fan favourites, who have equal affection for both clubs, and would, you'd assume give a fair and balanced viewpoint.
So, without further ado, let's cross to Peter Drury, who is joined in the commentary box by Alan Smith and Martin Keown!!!
We're over here talking about resting top starters to keep them fresh for Liverpool and EL semi. That would seem to make it an easier game for Forest. They are more rested and will be absolutely up for it in their attempts for CL ball.
I hope we come out well up for it- they are a very tough team these days.
At first, I wasn't thrilled that it had been moved to Monday night, but hadn't realized that tomorrow is Easter Sunday, so glad it's Monday after all.
I appreciate that there are some players who need a rest/ wrapping up in cotton wool, but we really need to see a decent performance from the players selected, as I can't cope with the spammers being above us!

I'd swap places for Odobert and Kulusevski. And about Romero, we have noone else
I’ve backed Forest to finish outside the top 6. Can see them crashing now, Villa, Newcastle and City take the 3 remaining CL places
Davies and Danso? Even Spence
If Romero is 100% recovered, keep playing him
I would wrap VDV, Bentancur, Bergvall, Solanke and Maddison in cotton wool and play all 5 of them only in the last 15 minutes of both Forest and Liverpool game
Danso/Romero…..Danso/Micky……keep going like that or even adding g Davies into the mix just don’t rest both Micky and Romero at the same time until just before Europa games.
Yes but he was already on for VdV in the setup I commented.
Danso and Davies is the CBs that should start vs Forest at home really.
Romero and VDV can play Liverpool away and Bodo at home from Sunday to Thursday, with no international travel in between. IMO anyway.
Your posts are simply brilliant and informative.Oh I get that & yes 'snapshot in time' is used in many industries
Many fans whom I'm more aware now are younger than me for some reason perceive a football team's success or progression is based on getting higher in the table than their rivals in a league, I think this is due to mostly inpart due to the media's coverage of the PL. Like getting higher payments which isn't that much relatively speaking which doesn't affect any fan, it doesn't cause lower costing tickets or merch infact the opposite in most cases also a 'chance to play in Europe' like that's a trophy in itself which boggles me.
Relegation in the PL is another subject but we are ruling that out as it doesn't relate to us & to be honest the way parachute payments work it's actually not a huge issue being relegated into the Championship when it comes to business but as a FAN it does.
This is a statement of fact & no one has been ever to argue against me on this :-
Only 1 team wins the League to gain the Title & each season 3 teams get relegated while 3 new teams compete. When the season resets, everyone goes back to 0, which means that it doesn't matter where you finish in said League if it's not first guess what???
YOU LOSE & ALL 'PROGRESS' IS LOST WHEN IT RESETS.
A successful season can also mean winning the Trophies you are in a tournament in whether Domestic or not which history shows no one cares what league finish you're in because???
YOUR TEAM STILL GET TO KEEP THAT TROPHY
So there's the logic & the facts about why no one should care AS A FAN about league finish unless they're interested in going 'oooh we are above you!!!!' but dude we both lost the league so what?
I'm not getting wrapped up in those silly conversations - I hope we win our games, I hope their entertaining but I don't care none of them will lead to a Trophy will they?
No arrogance, accusations, or malice whatsoever—simply a great read.
Thank you very much.
I think he meant “Start”.
The Liverpool game could be them getting the title. We probably need to rest some players but I don’t want us to be the butt of the jokes and be on the end of an absolute dicking.
Play 9 defenders and grind out the worst 0-0 in modern times?
If they are to lift the title that day I’d happily make it the shittest match possible in an attempt to ruin their day.
