They've scored a pathetic 24 and conceded 56, we've scored an amazing 111 and conceded 39. That means in both our games I've celebrated 167 times and been disappointed 63 times. I'm well aware of the difference in levels, but to me a goal is a goal. I enjoy National League goals just as much as I did Division 1 (Premiership) goals.
Man U had a lot of players missing, yet a 6-0 win wouldn't have flattered them. Forest were U/S and didn't even register a shot on goal. They now seem to depend on bootball, corners and long throw-ins for their goals. It was a tragic yet thoroughly enjoyable watch.
