Championship 2013-14

A talented footballer from Gateshead whose career has been stalled due to drink and temper problems? Never heard that one before.

He's from Birtley. Which is part of Gateshead Met Borough, but is in Chester-le-Street and has a Durham postcode....a place with an identity crisis and a cracking tandoori.

My in-laws are all from Chester-le-Street. This explains a lot :icon_bigg

Ince banned from stadiums for 5 games

If Ince gets mad and pushes a Fourth Official what would he do to Old Homer?

If Ince gets mad and pushes a Fourth Official what would he do to Old Homer?

According to the Guardian's report, Ince repeatedly shouted at the fourth official " I'll knock you ****ing out, you **** ". I'd like to know what Homer's reply might be.

Can they spell pashun better than the Beeb?

Perhaps he'd do a Duncan Ferguson on him

Harry Redknapp gets the Ball thrown in his face by a Millwall fan

I wonder if the incident distracted some of his players as they almost immediately let in a last minute equaliser.

Not surprised the way they fell away last season and carried on that form into this season

Forest lost today? -I think so.
Since the International break this trail blazing team has got 1 point from 9 available (2 home games and one away game) from the likes of Bournemouth, Yeovil and Blackpool. In fact all since Billy got his new contract and a certain article below was published.
You shouldn't laugh really

AFTER a two week break from league action, Nottingham Forest return to their promotion assault with a bump on Saturday.

While the historic Reds blaze a promising trail in the Championship, the two-time European cup winners will be lowered to welcoming small-time AFC Bournemouth to the City Ground - a famous stadium where the biggest names in world football once plied their trade.

Coming from a town known for little more than its seaside frivolities, The Cherries may feel more than a little dazed by the grandeur and history of their famous opponents.

And Eddie Howe’s minnows may just be four places below Billy Davies’ unstoppable machine, :icon_lol: but it seems unlikely they will be able to complete with the prowess, power and financial muscle of the Trentside team this weekend.

The south coast side are inferior in almost every way, even the club’s iconic former manager, Harry Redknapp comes second to Forest’s Brian Clough in the best manager England never had stakes.

Impressive things about Forest:

European Cup wins: 2

Influence: Arsenal wear red in honour of Forest after the Nottingham team donated some shirts in 1886.

Greatest manager of all time: Brian Clough’s 18-year stint at the club included winning two European Cups, a league title, and four League Cups.

Captain: Stuart Pearce made Nottingham his home, eventually gaining 76 caps for England.

Big Bucks: Record transfer is Pierre Van Hooijdonk for £4.5m and record sale is Stan Collymore to Liverpool for £8.5m.

Record Breakers: First club to spend £1m on a player when Brian Clough brought Trevor Francis to the club.
