Forest 0-2 Barnsley

Well bang goes our 'proud' home record, and didn't we do it in style. The performance tonight form the Reds was pathetic and was more akin to their usual ineffectual away performances.
I didn't bother going to this one, mainly due to SKY bloody TV deciding Friday night football is a great idea and being unable to leave work early enough I decided battling with the traffic on the M1 on a Friday night wouldn't be much fun and I'd probably struggle to get there in time, it must be one of the first times in ages I've actually watched a home game on the TV rather than at the ground itself and it just didn't feel right. The game may have been awful but I'd still rather be there than watching it in the sanitised atmosphere of a pub. Finding the pub was the hard part, not many round here were showing the game (and who can blame them, they want to try and keep their customers in the place after all).
Strangely enough, I didn't get any abuse once people found out I was a Forest fan, they didn't even start rolling around on the floor laughing. Just looked at me with pity and gave me the 'Never mind lad it'll pick up for your lot soon!' etc. etc.

I haven't got much to say about the game itself, apart from we were completely clueless, ten minutes into the second half I turned away from the TV and concentrated on getting some serious drinking done instead to try and numb the pain, with the odd glance back at the screen to see if things had improved any, they didn't and I spent the whole of Saturday nursing one hell of a hangover.

So what's the way forward now? I really don't know. Megson is staying, of that there is no doubt. The players seem to lack the motivation or desire to do anything for the club and the fans are turning on each other. Everything at the moment points to a long, long stay in this crappy little division and to be honest we deserve to be there. everyone's looking to our forthcoming away game at Franchise FC to be the much needed away win that may get us going but at the moment I can't see it happening and as the top of the table drifts further and further away, the foot looms ever closer.

NO HOPE, NO FUTURE. NFFC R.I.P.

Sigh.

I also went to the pub to watch the match.

What can you say anymore?

Pathetic.

So Lee Dixon thinks Drogba saying he dives sometimes was a language problem.

But for that to work, we have to have an idea what he might have understood by the question. Do you fall????? It doesn't make sense.

It's hard to see how it was just a misunderstanding / mistranslation.

Here's another interpretation: one might argue he was showing a peculiar supercilious disdain for the whole massive cash-cow that's turned him into a rich superstar.

Perhaps he's been reading too much Camus.

Boycott Football!
