I think this is worth a separate post to my previous. Can any of my fellow-Reds give any positives about our time in the Premiership as opposed to the Championship? Kudos and bragging-rights aside, I can't think of any. If anything, I think our club has gone downhill since promotion. I'm not being depressing, just realistic. I much preferred us overall as a club in the Championship.

Murrillo, Gibbs White and Aina plus paying only a couple of million for CHO from Chelsea all pluses who have shown their quality in the Premier.

Danillo, Dominguez, Navas, fillipe last season, awoniyi, Mangala just a few quality players
Legless one obvious plus was the city ground rocking like it's never done before
Two sides play though not just forest and it's great to watch world class players play against us
The longer we stay in the premier the better we will get
Lots of plusses for me.

The best atmosphere created in the first season that I've ever heard or seen. Plus the obvious big results against top teams.

Would you rather have a cold, rainy away game at Barnsley or Spurs?.

Great question Legless mate. I agree with the previous comments. For all of its frustrating aspects ( VAR, favouritism, the rigged domination of the big 6, refs frightened to make decisions and when they do, bad ones, diving and cheating generally, the pundits with vested interests etc) on balance it’s great to see the WFCG full and passionate fans watching the Worlds best players and some superb football.
As Vespa so succinctly put it, would you rather watch us pit ourselves against Arsenal or Accrington?
Plus we occasionally get to beat the best, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, Spurs, Chelsea. The team goal against Man City was worth a season ticket on its own!

Rumours that Nuno will give game time to Kouyate. and Arter!
Arter seriously!

No chance Rogie. Don’t like either of them to be fair…but Arter would probably drop down dead he’s had that little game time in the last two years lol.

Legless my friend, I agree with all you hate about the premiership, and have stated it in previous posts, I HATE the premiership, everything about it stinks, but unfortunately I also believe that Forest for the sake of the club, have to be in it. I think the problem is mate, our performances, I believe that if we had a club that was performing better, able to win more games, most of us fans, even the haters of the premiership like us, and lots of others, would be enjoying it a little more, maybe next season ay, and maybe NOT.
While the same clubs win everything year after year I’ll never enjoy the premiership, but at the minute, such is life mate, but its so fecking boring ain’t it.

Beating festa at home on a Saturday afternoon after a skin full.
Beating Liverpool at home on a Saturday afternoon after a skilful.
Beating arsenal at home to stay up on a Saturday afternoon after a skill full and pretty much opening the trapdoor for festa.
The atmosphere at home last season was a unique moment n time and won’t happen again.
My children and wife watxhing forest in the premier league for the first time and my prediction to them, that if we ever got back in the big league - the roof will come off the cg all season coming true.

Can't name one positive Legover. Watching your team getting hammered every week is depressing ?.
