Looks like Igor Tudor going in at Spurs.

Plays a high press, 3-4-2-1. Never been in the Prem before. Injury ravaged squad....hope he bombs!

Have Spurs panicked and gone for Heitinga yet?
Pereira has often had a good initial impact that fades with time. Not had a job longer than one calendar year for quote some time and a bit of a short term fixer...but what they need (and what we don't need them to have). 
Yes bit of a worry that he normally comes flying out the blocks, and if he's promising taking the players for beers if they win that will likely be more motivation that Dychey ever gave them.

Yeah, you're right. With all that "points then pints" stuff at Wolves, they loved him... until they didn't

Frank to Forest and keeps them up.
Dyche to Spurs and takes them down.

How I would love that.

We have to win. That said, it won't be easy at all. We must win though if we are serious about avoiding the drop and exactly the same energy needs to apply in the Man Utd game for this one.

The trouble with Bournemouth is you never actually know what you're gonna get.

On their day, they seem able to turn anyone over and they have just sold Semenyo and replaced him with a Brazilian fella called Rayan. Business as usual. Iraiola is a very good coach.

I'm hoping they have an off day and we turn them over 3-0 which is quite probable as well.

No mugs Bournemouth who are unbeaten in six league games but beating them, regardless of what forest do, should bring us to within two points of Spurs.

Villa v Leeds
Forest v Liverpool
Tottenjam v Arsenal
Us v Bournemouth.


Things could look very different after the next round of league games. We could be out of the bottom three. Of course,we could just as easily be 6 points behind Forest.

If the fat Greek has any sense (insert your own jokes), Dyche’s pay-off will mean he can’t join another club until the end of the season without incurring a financial penalty (ie he won’t get all of his Forest wages, which they’re probably still committed to paying him).

Nothing says 3rd party interference more than that. And we should know.. 😅
I don't think sticking someone on gardening leave for three months could be construed as 'third party interference', but I could be wrong.

It's not far off but I don't mind if he does as it means it'll be better for us!

Dyche’s sacking absolves him from the charge of taking Forest down. Good for his CV.

Not really. Their form was pretty similar to ours.

They had 30+ attempts last night, and 99/100 times win that game.
They'd been incredibly lucky and playing awful cuntball with barely any goal threat. Anyone coming in will surely be better.

Surely we want Forest to thrash Fene, don’t we? We want them to play as many games in Europe as possible. We want them knackered and on their knees by March.

Definitely, but a few serious injuries wouldn't go amiss
