Good result for Nottingham Forest tonight, they don't look like they are going to drop off at all. A lot of draws in tonight's matches.

Yeah the ref was terrible in the Arsenal Vs Man Utd game but despite that and playing with ten men for so long we managed to get through. It was a really good defensive performance from the team today and Bayindir was superb in goal. I would take him over Onana as the first team goalkeeper, there's been too many goals conceded where Onana's reactions have been so slow and he just stands on the spot and watches balls flying into the net.

My thoughts are with those that have lost their lives and the everyday people who have lost their homes and won't be able to afford new ones anytime soon.

Nottingham Forest have only 2 points less after 19 games than the amount Leicester had in their title winning season after the same amount of games played. It will be interesting to see where they will finish this season. Southampton are 10 points adrift of safety now after today's games. Still stuck on 6 points, they need 6 more to beat Derby's all time low tally.

One of the best players in Premier League history for sure. But to appreciate him? no can do I'm afraid!

Typical that when City draw level on Premier League losses with us that we then decide to go ahead of them there again :rolleyes:

The part in bold is the point I'm making.
