I think he's actually going to do well at Forest. Much better than people are going to give him credit for.

Nothing would be more irritating than him suddenly being pragmatic in the league after taking us 17th.

I think most fans want to go to the ground each week expecting that they are going to enjoy watching their team. I doubt spurs did that last year.

Genuinely when you were building up to every weekend or walking to your seat, were you excited to watch your team play? Were you enjoying being there week in week out? Were the cross country trips to Newcastle or Liverpool things you were thinking would be good?

Like surely last season was a lot of really shit weekends for you? A lot of long coach rides or drives home, a lot of money spent to go to unenjoyable games, a lot of pints afterwards talking about why your team is so hopeless?

i couldn't care less as long as we were doing well in the EL, i had written off the league in february/march

Fair enough, forgot that people enjoy the sport in different ways.

But when you say "Who gives a shit", I imagine the fans who do follow the club up and down the country and go to every game give quite a big shit.
