Didn't hire Sven either, which is undoubtedly a good move

Second half we were under pressure for periods but were never totally out of it with a couple of half chances late on to snatch a point.
Reading that, you sound like the average deluded Forest fan of two seasons back. No offence, honestly, but you do - you sound just like I used to.

Neewcastle are probably doomed.

Oh no, I partly agree with you. Long term we have major problems and need a major shake-up in all areas of the club.

In the match against Chelsea though we certainly did match them in the first half and they themselves only had a couple of decent opportunities to score throughout the match. (that probably says more about Chelseas poor performance than us mind) I'm not sure how it came across in the radio commentary or on the TV highlights but watching it live that was my view and other reports seem to agree.

Hardly a surprise. Who gives a toss what a non-personality like Cole has to say......unless the book is full or lurid details on Ms. Tweedy of course

Newcastle United emerged last night as the latest Premiership club to be sold to foreign owners following top secret talks that have been taking place on Tyneside for the last month.

American financiers Polygon and the United Bank of Switzerland, with billions of pounds at their disposal, have had their joint bid of Â£227million unanimously accepted by the Newcastle board.

The heavyweight partnership are currently going through a period of 'due diligence' with the takeover expected to be completed early in the New Year.

The Hall family and chairman Freddy Shepherd will collect Â£68m in the deal while manager Glenn Roeder will be bankrolled to the tune of Â£20m to recruit new players.

I suspect that's reference to Forest losing to Leyton Orient rather than anything else.

I'm inclined to agree.

Awwww, almost beat Arsenal

Well, Chelsea, Man U, Liverpool and Arsenal not being the top 4 was nice while it lasted. See you next season!

Christ on a bike! Pivotal day in the title race perhaps?

Naah, still everything to play for at this point - even after our rubbish start we're only 9 points off 3rd, and 3rd-7th is just 3 points. Christmas will be very interesting.
