Will win a grand today if Utd don't win, so I'm expecting a Weghorst hat-trick.

Jesus. How much did you put on?

Spurs and Newcastle both lose on the same weekend. That won’t happen a lot. And we have a chance to take advantage playing the team in 18th.

I we don’t win we don’t deserve 4th

You bet against United? I can't do that. Hope you win £#%&! all.

A tenner. Last man standing in the pub and it has rolled over three times (so suppose £30 in total).

No.

Ah right. Thought you’d lumped about £300 on Forest to make yourself feel better if it happens 😂

Not a chance

Tempted to throw a big bet on Utd to guarantee some winnings tho tbh.

But Newcastle or Tottenham do if they lose?…

Today is no gimme. Forest are no mugs at home. Drawn with city, beaten Liverpool and Newcastle needed a last minute penalty to beat them a couple of weeks back.

We’re absolutely patched up and facing yet another game just 3 days after a European game. It will be a difficult.

I wouldn’t be condemning our top four chances based on today. Especially when the team closest to taking our fourth place just lost at home to £#%&!ing Bournemouth.

Completely agree that if we have either 3 or 4 points more than the team in 5th place having played a game less we don't deserve 4th.

0-2 today I think. Martial and Bruno. Although part of me thinks 1-1, and I predict us to drop points about as often as Lawro does Liverpool.

Dress it up however you want but if you pass up opportunities like this then you get what’s coming to you.

We’re a better team than Newcastle and we’re a better team than Spurs, it’s time we started showing it a bit more.

we need three points, because we can't rely on any more going forward, given injuries, suspensions, shit refs, bad luck, etc. our next three league games area against spurs, villa and brighton, so.... we need to beat shit teams.

It’s not ‘dressing it up’ at all. It is what is. I’ve said we’re missing players and that their home form is decent. That’s not an opinion.

You’ve said as much yourself regarding our injuries and ridiculous schedule, but now you’re saying we must win or we don’t deserve top four?

But also we’re better than spurs and Newcastle

If we all lose this weekend, who deserves top four?

Reasonable.

Still doesn’t make today any easier. I’m not sure Forest are especially shit at home. Any kind of win will do and would be massive.

Every game feels huge this season.

Nice to have that feeling again tbh

As much as I'd love a win a draw wouldn't be the end of the world.

I genuinely think if we win 4 out of the last 9 we'll get top 4

Winning our home games should be enough?

I think we’ll do that, so a draw here and there shouldn’t a be a problem.

I understand people thinking we’ll drop points, but one look at the other two and you can do the same.

Imagine this place if we lost a 95th minute winner at home to Bournemouth, leaving us 3 points adrift having played two games more.

It’s not like going for the title where a draw or loss can be the difference. We’ve got 9 games left. 6 wins guarantees it unless Spurs win every game (they won’t). 4 or 5 realistically does it. Anything around 70 points will be fine and usually is for top four.

14 from a possible 27 is very do-able, even with the injuries.

Got bad vibes, tbh.

The thought of Lindelof and Maguire at the back is giving me 'Der Gaffer' era flashbacks.
