It's a good draw because we're going to smash them and go on to draw Arsenal at home in the 4th round.
I have bad memories of turning up there all bright eyed and busy tailed with my Dad for the season's opener in 1963? The relatively famous Eddie Lowe as our manager and star striker signing Terry Bly. We got tonked and then got relegated.
Meanwhile AH is saying “It’s a good opportunity for us to progress to the fourth round.” He's not supported Notts for long as he!
Who put that Colour Picture up on this board - bloody tempted fate that :( Psychic or what :?
That’s just what I thought, Old_pie.Quote:

As MAD_MAGPIE said, our next 8 games against them ended in draws, followed by 4 defeats, the last one being in 2014.
Alan Judge got 2 against us in a 3-1 defeat. Jimmy Spencer scoring an 84th minute consolation for us.
Time to buck the trend! 2-1 to the Magpies and a 4th Round tie against Newcastle at St James’ Park, please.
There are a few pundits on tv that fall into that category of not having won much. You don't think it is the fact he is a Forest fan that influences your feelings towards him do you?>;)Quote:

It's a bit disheartening to get to the third round and end up with a draw like that, especially when our neighbours land a dream tie without having to win a game. Oh well, you don't get what you deserve, you get what you get. Hopefully in our case that will be promotion.
He is probably on for the same reason Clinton Morrison keeps popping up on screens :sQuote:

... it's the PC brigade ... the BBC think he's trainable... he's young, characterless and non-white.
It certainly influences his feelings towards us. I'm not a pundit, I can say I hate the Scum, he's meant to be impartial.Quote:

Well, I like Ian Wright, so I don't think so.
Jenas played over 400 games, mostly for decent Premiership teams, and was capped 21 times by England. Beyond that, does it really matter what he achieved? Pundits are there to give expert insight, and I'd say he's qualified to do that. On top of that they need to be confident in front of the cameras - again, he qualifies. I'd say Jenas is there to provide a bit of balance between older and younger pundits, and probably appeals to slightly more youthful football fans. He's a bit of a lad - some people like that. And yeah, the BBC is no doubt aware of its responsibility to present people from all ethnic backgrounds. That's just a reflection of English football and wider British culture. What's the problem?
