They making drugs too strong nowadays methinks :roll:
Clarify please



You must be smoking something very powerful if you think that forest can do a leicester
So you essentially disagree? Is this the same augie who doesn’t do personal insults? 🤣

Question is why not? They are averaging 2points per game, have the second best defence and beat Liverpool away.

Leicester won the title with 81points so the hypothesis of Forest winning it doesn’t seem far fetched when you look at their current trajectory + favourable fixture schedule.



Are you honestly taking that as a personal insult ?? :shock:
Ignoring the subtle gaslighting, I don’t smoke or do drugs so not sure why you’d suggest otherwise 😳
I genuinely believe Forest could do a Leicester, and you can make a compelling argument from
the numbers.

Blimey General, if you think that's insulting or even gaslighting, then you've had a very sheltered upbringing. I would point out that prior to you just telling us, augie would have had no idea whether you smoked, drank, or did drugs and only had your posts from which to draw a conclusion. :lol: :wink:

As for Forest, it would be a surprise to see them maintain their current trajectory, but good luck to them. However, i didn't really follow your remark about their fixture list, given that they'll play exactly the same games as everyone else.

I wouldn’t ordinarily be offended by the comment and you will see that my rebuttal was based on a previous encounter with augie where he strongly expressed his dislike for ad hominems. He should practice what he preaches.

Re-Forest, they are out of the league cup and are not in Europe. At some point, they will be playing one game a week similar to Leicester back in 2015 and this can be advantageous. I don’t think they will do but it is not impossible given recent precedence and faltering start by us and 115.

I wonder if we are having 3rd season syndrome similar what the Scouse lot had in 2020/21 after 2 title challenges. Here’s their points total for the last 6 seasons and I must admit they reached far greater heights than we have.

2018/19 - 97points - 2nd
2019/20 - 99points - 1st
2020/21 - 69points - 3rd
2021/22 - 92points - 2nd
2022/23 - 67points - 5th
2023/24 - 82points - 3rd

I also think a low 80 points would be enough for the title this season. Forest might do a Leicester.



They making drugs too strong nowadays methinks :roll:

Not worth it pal. Akbs are lefty pansies who take offence at anything. Probably!

Third. Probably about five or six points off the top. We'll put a run together as we've had most of the tough teams away from home and they've got to come to us. The damage has already been done, though and we won't claw back nine points unless the dippers and Cheaty just completely collapse. Both won't.

Possibly second if one of cheaty or victims collapse but more likely third or fourth now I think. :|

Sickening thing is once it's mathematically over we'll put a decent run together and the cultists will be screeching about Martinez-Lite being "elite" and "unreplaceable"..... :roll:

Exactly. We'll be right back to where we were between about 2008 and 2014/5 with the deranged cult telling us that we're only a season away from winning everything and we can't compete with Cheaty's money and look where we were before Arteta arrived. It's the exact same flaws holding us back now as then. A squad that just needs one major addition but that the manager keeps ignoring . The performances are almost identical these days too; slow, one dimensional, never direct enough when it matters, always a couple of paces behind the ball when it does actually come across the box, games just drifting away. We had the perfect opportunity to get in the player we needed last January or over the summer but didn't and now it's costing us.

It's funny cos I have argued for past couple of seasons that ONE of the reasons (not the only reason) that we appear to have progressed under the cone boy is that our rivals had nosedived at the same time - the fan boys argued that it is impossible to compete with the state owned citeeh cheats, so how ironic is it that now we have a season where they slide to a beatable level, it looks like it will be a rival team who takes advantage of their dip ? How frustrating would it be if the team that took advantage of citeeh's slide is a team that bought ZERO outfield players last summer and are still outperforming us ?

I tipped us to finish second comfortably and we still could cos the victims are clearly not all that either, but they have momentum in their corner at the mo, plus they have experienced leadership who know how to win

I've said there has been a dip in the quality and performances of the teams we were "rivals" with for that top two or three places over the last couple of years but the cultists can't see that, they blindly maintain it's only down to Arteta's genius and brilliance.... :roll:

Cheaty will spend whatever it takes in January and win it at a canter again. The victims will either end up second or third and we'll be anywhere from second to fourth I reckon. It all depends what runs of wins each team goes on and in our case how many injuries our paper thin squad can survive. :|
