Nottingham Forest (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

[Brightwell Bros.]

UCL qualification for next season officially secured today!

Testament to how good we've been over the years that we take this for granted year in and out. No other English club can say the same.

Made hard work of that especially in the first half. We’re a bit lucky Forest don’t have anyone clinical up front. Good to see Erling come on to do what he does best. Ake was excellent as was Gvardiol but quite a few others weren’t at their best but did just enough. 3 points is all that matters because I can’t see us closing the 7 goal GD gap with Arsenal if we drop points.

Very fortunate win. Happy to see Forest ran out of gas and Haaland scoring the 2nd to give us (or me) some breathing space.

Ake and Akanji really good, but midfield in particular let us down.

5 full days of rest to start the final part.

Kovacic changed the game.

What was that with Kyle's twiddling of Gvardiol's nose for both goal celebrations

 

[wolviedinho]

Did his bit today. Well played lad.

Six days rest now before a home game. Going out against Madrid may let us win the league.

The Boys in Blue didn't give in, they fought to the end. Thank you City, thank you lads, thank you fans. You showed 'em, you showed 'em all.

I'm sorry I can't do the usual after match thanks and telling off for the other team, the media and the officials.

The reason I was late with my Match Day thread posting was because just after I posted the pre-match one I had a phone call to tell me that a friend of mine, who I've known for over 75 years and was like an extra brother, had died. He was part of our family, as I say an extra brother. Came to all our parties, weddings, birthdays, funerals, everything and as it is the second death of someone close to me in the last four days, my cousin who was 1 year younger than me died on Thursday, it has knocked me for six.

Sorry. I am of course absolutely pleased about City winning today but I am also gutted and am now going to sit down and get out the photos and memories of our times together.

THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD.

So sorry for your double loss Eccles. One is bad enough but 2 is awful. Keep that chin up and always remember the good times, it's what they would want you to do. CTWD

Cue a bid for Luke Shaw in the summer.

Are Greggs expecting a buy out ?

 

[carlosthejackal]

That's the worst I've seen us play for a while. Some strange performances.
Hopefully out of the system.

Tired legs , a week without a game will be very welcome
