FFTV Clickety Clickbait

The daily Forest Fan TV catch up.

Oh Lordy.

“You’re much better than Sean Dyche”

…said Everton Mike. And he should know.

I went to bed full of optimism for what’s about to follow at the World Famous City Ground. I woke up with a great big POW! Right in the kisser.

And that bloody hurt.

As ever, I am hopeless at making any objective, rational views when it comes to all things Forest. I even thought Mad Ange’s final team selection for Chelsea at home looked half decent.

If they’re wearing THAT badge with the two stars, then everything will be OK, yeah?

Although Taiwo did make me chuckle…

I know that FFTV is clickbait, albeit a little more restrained in the longer form interviews. But I’m tending to side with Wolfie right now, thinking that maybe Dyche isn’t what we need.

Two wins on the bounce - a big ask - and the season is back on track.

And Forest have yet to click a ball under Dyche.

Fickle football fans, innit.

I am enjoying all the Forest p0Rn, currently being pumped out by the club showing an Old Boy’s reunion.

Woan and McGovern together?

SWOON.

Chris Sutton's Nottingham Forest

Catching up with the Monday Night Club on 5Live from last night. It’s usually a half decent listen. I try and at least dip into some of the headline points each week, either live, or via BBC Sounds.

No surprises that Postecoglou’s sacking at Forest led the agenda on Monday evening. It’s better than not being talked about, back in the dark, dark days of the Championship.

I think?

Anyway - Chris Sutton was as ever, the flag waver for Postecoglou. No surprises there. Sutton of course sees Postecoglou through the lens of what he achieved in a two team division up in Scotland.

I like Sutton - I really do. More so the MNC Sutton when he usually Tells It Like It Is, as opposed to the piss poor comedy act with Robbie Savage on 606. This has become more or less unlistenable of late.

On Monday evening, Sutton chose to target his Postecoglou anger at Ryan Yates. The basis for the rant was a post-match interview that the Forest Captain gave following the Chelsea debacle.

Yates was the only club person to do ANY media post-Postecoglou’s sacking on Saturday evening. He did the entire round of international, national and local media. No one else within the club - those behind the decision - were brave enough to step forward.

It’s not clear which interview Sutton listened to, but he was adamant that Yates had gone behind Postecoglou’s back to the Big Fat Greek, saying that he doesn’t like his manager. No evidence of this exists.

“Who does he think he is?”

…asked Sutton.

Erm, the Forest Captain, whose role and responsibilities include fronting up for the club, when others are too ashamed to justify their own actions.

Hopefully Sutton and Savage will now drop their OH SO FUNNY running gag of Forest being Sutton’s “Your Nottingham Forest.

I don’t recall seeing Sutton down in the Sheep Dip back in the day at the old BBG, giving it some to the D***y fans.

Modern football. Funny old game, innit.
