Just rewatched the entire Spurs match on Forest TV. As near perfect a team performance as you could wish for, on a par with the one at Anfield. Special mention to Jesus and Anderson who got clattered many many times and kept picking themselves up and going again.
Jesus v Romero, a Brazilian up against an Argentine World Cup winner was a proper battle. It was very satisfying to see a petulant and frustrated Spurs Captain rugby tackle Nico near the end after a 40 pass Forest move with the Oles ringing in his ears.
Just glad Nico picked himself up again.
Speaking of which I never, ever want Sam Parrott to ref us again. He took no action on Spurs many instances of foul play and thuggery, including the one I’ve mentioned above. I rarely criticise refs but he was exceptionally incompetent. We did well to keep our discipline.

We did very well to keep our cool Stokey. Thomas Frank shithousery as Ed 1 put it.
It proves how well we played that even with those tactics tics and an appalling Ref, we still thrashed em.

Ef that stokey, we're you not entertained. Bring on the pittance of real football and its hardships looking for working class heroes. Hence my love of championship football. Lot more guts and work.
Best game in years actually for me.
Just keep on going reds, not there to give a ref a semi, just to. fight and play true football. Which is what they give as you said. FTID.

Yes find it weird that when we hammered the pool the rumours were that Klop was replacing Slot so we hammer Spurs and guess what rumours we have Klop replacing Frank, lazy Journalists disrespectful to our great team who dismantled both these sides ???.

Klopp doesn't want a job right now, so pointless speculation like you say jester
I've said in a previous post that you won't get any recognition for beating one of the big boys, it's all about what they are doing wrong.

That is a valid point DTP. 'Woeful Spurs', etc!
At the back of my cynical mind I still feel that there is an element of how we raise our game against most of the top six. Can we keep up the standard at Fulham? (Nearly said replicate but Blade Runner comes to mind when I write that? )

Blade runner! What a film Norfolk. Geordie director as well Bowie. Rutgers Hauer was genuinely one of the scariest film creations as the replicant Batty. Classic dystopian work of genius. In my top ten always mate.
I feel we will do well at Fulham ( unless we get cheated out if it or a similar ref to Sundays abomination) because, uniquely this season, SD will have 8 golden days to coach his system ruthlessly with his full squad including no international abstractions.
8 days to get the injured rested and fit and the fit even fitter! Watch them go ….

Just watched black hawk down for 2nd time stokey, couldn't write it better. True men.

Never seen Black Hawk, Bowie mate. I must get round to it this Christmas. ( Nothing like a good war film in the season of peace and good will ??).
As it was my wife’s turn to choose the film yesterday evening ( she went for “Love Actually “) I’ll nominate Black Hawk on your recommendation my friend! ??.
