The Title Race 2022/23

I'm disappointed in you on this occasion. Several times you've had me thumbing the dictionary looking up big posh words you've written that I'd never heard of and i must say I've been impressed. It's education i never got at school so thanks, mate. However, i think you meant mettle, not metal. Scousers have heavy metal, we have solid mettle.

". . . and you good yeomen, Whose limbs were made in England, show us here The mettle of your pasture." etc.

Cold blooded killers don’t go down to Chelsea, Brighton or Brentford. Mentally this team is an apex predator.

You're right.

...but it's still not over

It is you just don’t want to say it -:)

Wow the whole complexion of this week and next has changed now. No stress except RM. No dreading games, just glory.

Wednesday/Sunday has the potential to be the sort of week we talk about for the rest of our lives. Get in early, stay late, drink it in.

It would have to be Chelsea, Brentford and Brentford, remember.

Forest will see that it is

’Fraid not, gdm. You're confusing it with a relative clause, where you'd be correct on the rule (and even then, only in the case of non-defining relatives). You've elided the conjunction (as we do), but it doesn't change the rule.
For example: “Lovebites believes (that) gdm is mistaken in this instance.” ≠ “Lovebites believes, (that) gdm is mistaken in this instance.”
I have a sneaking suspicion that people are less than fascinated by the point, though. Perhaps if we wish to continue it we should revert to pm
;-)

Fuck the rules!

Knowing us, we will lose our next two and fall behind against Brentford…

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

really want us to get the win on sunday purely for gundo and bernardo - could very well be their last home game in gods own sky blue and want them to have their moment with the fans.

does anyone know if 1894 are planning anything special or if there’s going to be a big bus welcome?

There'll almost certainly be another bus welcome, but the good news about them is that we can do them whether 1894 announce them or not. If we have a big game, get down early and round the entrance with your bananas and smoke bombs and flags.

Yeah I fancy Forest to beat Farsenal .

Reckon we definitely won’t go down to Brentford twice ;-)

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

As a word of advice to those suffering long Cityitis, if we lose the title from here we have many, many more things to worry about than celebrating early on a forum.

I'm watching Beyonce on Saturday night. Do you think she'll put on a City shirt and sing a sexy Blue Moon. Could be the only thing that will make it better.
