• All - you probably don't need to be told, but....
    Despite the Admins' best efforts some spammers/scammers/scalpers are getting through the entry system and are, astonishingly, in possession of FA Cup tickets that they, astonishingly, don't want!

    It's probably a scam, and either way it's a criminal offence under section 166 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, (as amended by the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006) to offer or expose tickets for sale.

    Please DO NOT engage with these people - please REPORT any threads/posts offering tickets for sale in case we've not caught them.
    Thanks!

Murillo Santiago Costa dos Santos of BRASIL!

Based on my office conversation this morning - after which, I have been banned from ever visiting Brasil - Dorival Junior is hopeless and out of his depth.

And that’s from some Brasil fans from Sao Paolo.

Only Brazilians can say if/when Brazil are shit, you should know that...







... good lad, I hope you bantzed them good and proper. 🤣😅

Not surprised having watched the game. There was something very amiss about their performance given the quality they had on the pitch.

It explains Tim Vickery's comments that the players should largely be exempt from blame and that the head coach is solely responsible for that result.

This kid deserves yet another shout out. Making his Brazil debut in Buenos Aires and being part of a defence that was, to put it nicely, all over the f***ing place for which he was blamed by millions of Brazilians for - to then get on a flight, shake off any jet lag and proceed to not put a foot wrong away to Brighton is a testament to his mentality and especially his resilience.

I bet he was glad to see Big Nik, Ola and Neco beside him and not the chaps he had with Brazil during the week. And his celebrations post match just showed how much he bloody cares. Love the lad.

Never seen a player so consistently in the right place to make these blocks. My friend asked me how much of our clean sheets is luck, but that's not luck, that's just top top level awareness and anticipation

If the new brazil manager decides to watch this game back then there's no doubt Murillo will be getting a second chance to impress on that stage

How people still mention luck is beyond me at this stage. We just have fantastic players at the back, that isn't luck. It's their quality.

That clearance was 2 points. Magnificent! And hopefully it'll completely erase all the negativity from last week from his mind.

I'm still resigned to losing him in the summer(like I was last summer) but we'll be very well compensated. What a find.

To be fair most pundits recognise this which I really like. Positioning and anticipation are so underrated.

Likewise a lot of the ex pros say they find us exciting to watch which helps me centre myself after reading the opposition fan comments(courtesy of HBB's excellent threads)

He looks so fresh-faced and smiley, but just always (nearly) in the right place. What a clever run back last night to pop up in just the right spot at the death.
He seems to spot danger constantly

I would love to know how many he has cleared off the line now, it must be 5 or 6.

If you watch him he leaves the guy right infront of goal unmarked & just goes to the goal line as he knows thats the best way he will prevent the goal. His "if fire break glass" move.

It's 2021, Forest have just lost to Middlesborough 2-0 and are bottom of the Championship. Someone from the future appears and tells you in a little over three years time Forest will beat Man Utd to cement 3rd in the Premier League after your Brazillian wonderkid clears off the line in the last minute from Harry Maguire who's now playing as a striker.

He’s world class

It’s as simple as that
He is world class when playing alongside the man-mountain that is Milenkovic.
On the international stage, without the Serbinator beside him, he looked like a young player who has a lot to learn before he can be truly regarded as world class.
World class potential, definitely though.
