Much bigger club and the stadium is three times the size, if thats makes any difference at all

Wonder if they'll give ole Gunner a call

Is anyone safe from Putin ?

Every other manager who wore the same badge over the weekend?

Bournemouth obviously aren't that bothered and I suspect Parker probably told the board they've got no chance of staying up.

Good points, both.

I know which type of club I'd rather support / manage. After the graft of getting to the PL, you have to ask 'what's the £#%&!ing point?' if you refuse to invest to meet the step-up in standards. I wouldn't want to be the fall guy for that shite. (Same goes for finishing 4th & qualifying for Big Cup.)

If any set of fans know the answer, it's us. This is a big part of why I no longer have a ST, rarely to go games at OT and prefer non-league.

I'm not a fan of Scott Tracey but the tone of that club statement grates on me and he's better off not having to front up for that @#%&!ing owner.

saying he was sacked for his honesty is a bit like complaining that you got slapped for your honesty.

Forest owner also owns Olympiakos doesn't he?

Certainly not an item that would grace Marlo's fashion thread IMO.

That item will set you back £1320 young Neo should you wish to acquire it. Thom Browne's schooldays indeed.

For real? It looks like the kind of thing you could pick up for £20 in Topman circa 2007.

For £13.20 Big Marlo would slap himself!

Getting beat 9-0 is always terrible, but its just not acceptable to lose that badly this early in the season - the Dundee United manager also got canned today I see.

Parker may be right to some extent at how the club is run, but he was rather clumsy in expressing it as well - looked like excuse making.
